Administrative Core

本申请旨在继续与北 卡罗莱纳中央大学（NCCU）和酒精研究中心（CAARC） 回复RFA-AA-21-015。NCCU成立于1910年，是一所历史悠久的黑人学院， 大学（HBCU）自2010年以来一直与UNARC合作;这种伙伴关系 促成了NCCU的第一批博士生在2012年的招生和目前的几个 10名博士毕业生。NCCU是一所提供学士学位的综合性机构， 研究生学位，80%的NCCU学生是代表性不足的少数民族（非洲 美国人或西班牙人）。NCCU位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学附近， 该研究中心自1997年以来一直得到资助。前一 UNC-NCCU伙伴关系涉及10个NCCU生物医学系的酒精研究（约30%） 每年有多达15名学生为37种出版物做出贡献 以及三项NIAAA R资助申请。这一切都发生在这次合作之前。 U 54行政核心建议继续建立和促进酒精研究 专门知识，发展研究基础设施和能力，特别是针对健康差距的研究， 相关病理学此外，行政核心将制定和管理合作方案， 教育-培训URM NCCU学生在URARC实验室和其他URARC培训活动。 这将通过5个目标来实现：目标1：提供科学和行政管理 目标2：监测和加强合作伙伴关系;目标3：导师领导 目标4：支持科学指导和研究经验的核心; 目标5：招募NCCU实验室进行酒精研究。通过结构化的指导， 实验，这项建议将创建成功的酒精研究计划，导致双方 发现和教育大量的URM学生对健康的差距 与酒精使用障碍有关。

This application proposes to continue a successful collaborative partnership between North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and the UNC Alcohol Research Center (UNC ARC) in response to RFA-AA-21-015. NCCU, founded in 1910, is a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) that has partnered with the UNC ARC since 2010; this partnership contributed to the enrollment of NCCU’s first PhD students in 2012 and to several of the current 10 PhD graduates. NCCU is a comprehensive institution offering bachelor’s degrees and graduate degrees, with 80% of NCCU students being underrepresented minorities (African American or Hispanic). NCCU is located near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the UNC NIAAA Alcohol Research Center, which has been funded since 1997. The previous UNC-NCCU partnership involved 10 NCCU biomedical faculty in alcohol research (about 30% of NCCU faculty laboratories), with up to 15 students each year contributing to 37 publications and three funded NIAAA R grant applications. None of this occurred prior to this partnership. This U54 Administrative Core proposes to continue to build and promote alcohol research expertise and to develop research infrastructure and capacity, particularly for health disparities- associated pathology. Further, the Administrative Core will develop and administer collaborative education-training of URM NCCU students in UNC ARC labs and other UNC training activities. This will be accomplished through 5 aims: Aim 1: Provide scientific and administrative leadership; Aim 2: Monitor and enhance collaborative partnerships; Aim 3: Mentor leadership among faculty; Aim 4: Support the Scientific Mentoring and Research Experiences Core; and Aim 5: Recruit NCCU laboratories to alcohol research. Through structured mentoring and experimentation, this proposal will create successful alcohol research programs, leading to both discoveries and the education of large numbers of URM students on health disparities associated with alcohol use disorders.
