Administrative Core

该应用程序建议继续在North之间建立成功的协作伙伴关系 卡罗莱纳中央大学(NCCU)和北卡罗来纳大学酒精研究中心(UNC ARC) 对RFA-AA-21-015的回应。NCCU成立于1910年，是一所历史悠久的黑人学院 自2010年以来与北卡罗来纳大学ARC建立合作伙伴关系的大学(HBCU)；这种伙伴关系 为2012年NCCU首批博士生的招生以及目前的几名 10名博士毕业生。NCCU是一所提供学士学位和 研究生学位，80%的NCCU学生是代表不足的少数民族(非洲人 美国人或西班牙人)。NCCU位于北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校附近 北卡罗来纳大学NIAAA酒精研究中心，自1997年以来一直受到资助。上一次 北卡罗来纳大学-NCCU合作伙伴关系涉及10名NCCU生物医学学院的酒精研究(约30% )，每年最多有15名学生为37种出版物撰稿 以及三份由NIAAA R资助的拨款申请。在这次合作之前，这一切都没有发生过。 该U54管理核心建议继续建立和促进酒精研究 专门知识和发展研究基础设施和能力，特别是针对健康差距-- 相关病理学。此外，行政核心将开发和管理协作性 教育-在北卡罗来纳大学ARC实验室和其他北卡罗来纳大学培训活动中对URM NCCU的学生进行培训。 这将通过5个目标来实现：目标1：提供科学和管理 领导力；目标2：监测和加强协作伙伴关系；目标3：导师领导力 在教师中；目标4：支持科学指导和研究经验核心；以及 目标5：招募NCCU实验室进行酒精研究。通过结构化的指导和 实验，这项提议将创建成功的酒精研究项目，导致 对大量URM学生健康差距的发现和教育 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.
