Research Capacity Core

摘要（研究能力核心-RCC） 北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）RCMI健康差异研究中心（RCHDR）成立 2017年9月，包括一个研究基础设施核心（RIC），旨在建立和加强 生物医学研究基础设施在过去的4年里，RIC响应了研究人员的需求， 我们的咨询委员会建议发展基本的、行为的和人口健康基础设施。在其 在第一个周期，区域信息中心为3个完整项目、6个调查员发展核心资助的试点项目提供了支助， 24个额外的（非RCHDR）种子赠款和20多个NIH资助的项目。RIC还增加了新功能 在分析，成像，代谢分析和啮齿动物行为研究，以及创造多种健康 以数据公平、健康传播和环境公平为重点的项目。保持和 扩大我们在NCCU的健康差距研究活动，RCHDR建议继续建立我们的研究 通过重新设计的研究能力核心（RCC）。区域合作委员会将进一步增加我们的资源， 基础生物医学和行为科学;并为NCCU研究人员进行 人口和保健服务研究试点研究。RCC还将整合与NIH的战略合作， 地区机构和其他RCMI中心的资助中心（通过RCMI协调中心），以增加 我们在生物医学，行为和健康相关研究方面的研究能力。为了实现这些目标，我们 提出三个具体目标：战略目标1：重新设计区域合作中心，以支持基本的生物医学、行为和保健服务 通过开发创新的子核心来满足研究需求。这些子核心将支持广泛的 NCCU多个部门的一系列项目，并利用与邻近机构的合作伙伴关系。 SA2：支持当前提案中的两个研究项目和未来的试点项目，重点是跨学科 基础生物医学、行为学和人口/保健服务研究。RCC还将支持社区 参与核心（CEC）活动和整个NCCU的其他研究项目，补充现有的 资源，扩大人权中心的存在和影响。战略领域3：确保和维持 通过结构化的日常管理计划（包括单元集成、使用（成本 恢复），治理和与其他研究伙伴的沟通（例如，大学和研究 企业和行业）。

Abstract (Research Capacity Core - RCC) North Carolina Central University’s (NCCU) RCMI Center for Health Disparities Research (RCHDR) was created in September 2017 and includes a Research Infrastructure Core (RIC) aimed at building and enhancing biomedical research infrastructure at NCCU. In last 4 years, RIC has responded to the needs of researchers and suggestions by our advisory committees to develop basic, behavioral and population health infrastructure. In its first cycle, RIC provided support for 3 full projects, 6 Investigator Development Core (IDC) funded pilot projects, 24 additional (non-RCHDR) seed grants and over 20 NIH-funded projects. The RIC also added new capabilities in analytical, imaging, metabolic analysis, and rodent behavior studies, as well as creating multiple health disparities-focused programs in data equity, health communications, and environmental equity. To maintain and expand our health disparity research activities at NCCU, RCHDR proposes to continue building our research eco-system through the redesigned Research Capacity Core (RCC). RCC will further enhance our resources in both basic biomedical and behavioral sciences; and lay the groundwork for NCCU researchers to conduct population and health services research pilot studies. RCC will also integrate strategic collaborations with NIH- funded Centers at area institutions and other RCMI centers (through the RCMI coordinating center) to increase our research capacity in biomedical, behavioral, and health-related research. To achieve these goals, we propose three specific aims: SA1: Redesign the RCC to support basic biomedical, behavioral and health services research by developing innovative sub-cores that address research needs. These sub-cores will support a broad range of projects in multiple departments across NCCU and leverage partnerships with neighboring institutions. SA2: Support two research projects in the current proposal and future pilot projects focused on interdisciplinary basic biomedical, behavioral and population/health services research. The RCC will also support Community Engagement Core (CEC) activities and other research projects throughout NCCU, complement existing resources and expand the presence and impact of RCHDR. SA3: Ensure and sustain the effectiveness of the RCC sub-cores through a structured daily management plan that includes integration of units, usage (cost recovery), governance and communication with other research partners (e.g., universities, research organizations and industry).
