The overarching goal of the Clinical & Population Science Core (Clinical Core) is to accelerate data-driven solutions to the persistent challenges of domestic and global TB control. To meet this goal, the Core’s strategic imperative is to promote innovative research on TB by fostering new collaborations and by expanding existing collaborations among scientists across diverse disciplines at Emory University, University of Georgia (UGA), other partner institutions in Georgia, and internationally. A major strength of the Emory/Georgia TRAC is our long-standing, productive research partnerships with both international (Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Philippines, and the country of Georgia) and domestic sites (DeKalb and Fulton County Boards of Health; U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). These research sites provide clinical care to diverse patient populations, have state-of-the-art laboratories and data management systems, and are directly engaged in translating research into policy at the local, national, and global levels. Clinical Core faculty are world-renowned TB scientists with successful track records of leading impactful clinical and epidemiologic research in TB/HIV, drug-resistant TB, TB transmission, pediatric TB, TB/diabetes, and post-TB lung health. Their cutting-edge work has integrated innovative epidemiologic and biostatistical methods to advance our approach to TB research, including geospatial methods, network analysis, bias analysis, epidemic modeling, and molecular epidemiology. This extensive research portfolio also provides investigators with access to curated research databases, organized specimen repositories, and field-tested study instruments. The Clinical Core will leverage these resources and expertise to enable the conduct of scientifically rigorous, multi-disciplinary TB research by early stage investigators and established investigators new to TB. In this way, the Core will catalyze the next generation of TB researchers, improve our understanding of TB, and support the needs of new and emerging science. In three integrated Aims, the Clinical Core will support high-impact research by facilitating access to diverse study populations at international and domestic clinical research sites through a comprehensive program that will introduce, establish, and nurture relationships between TRAC investigators, our collaborating partners, and early-stage and established investigators new to TB. The Core will provide consultation and training to investigators undertaking new clinical, epidemiologic, or translational research in TB through end-to- end support for study planning, implementation, and dissemination. The Core will develop a centralized repository of research data and associated Mtb isolates and specimens that links with the Basic Science Core biorepository, providing numerous opportunities for innovative clinical and translational analyses. The long- term goal of the Core is to cultivate a robust TB clinical research environment that is accessible, impactful, and collaborative to grow the pool of TB investigators conducting transformative research within the TRAC.

临床和人口科学核心（临床核心）的总体目标是加速数据驱动 解决国内和全球结核病控制持续挑战的解决方案。为了实现这一目标，核心的策略 务必的是通过促进新的合作并扩大现有 佐治亚大学埃默里大学（UGA）的科学家之间的科学家合作， 佐治亚州和国际的其他合作伙伴机构。 Emory/Georgia Trac的主要优势是我们与 国际（埃塞俄比亚，乌干达，肯尼亚，南非，菲律宾和佐治亚州）和 国内遗址（Dekalb和Fulton County卫生委员会；美国疾病控制中心和 预防）。这些研究地点为潜水患者人群提供临床护理，具有最新 实验室和数据管理系统，并直接从事将研究转化为政策 本地，国家和全球级别。临床核心教师是世界知名的结核病科学家 结核病/HIV，抗药性结核病，结核病传播的领先有影响力的临床和流行病学研究记录 小儿结核病，结核病/糖尿病和结核病后肺部健康。他们的尖端工作已经综合了创新 流行病学和生物统计学方法可以推进我们的结核病研究方法，包括地理空间 方法，网络分析，偏见分析，流行性建模和分子流行病学。这很广泛 研究组合还为研究人员提供了访问策划的研究数据库，有组织的标本 存储库和现场测试的学习工具。临床核心将利用这些资源和专业知识 为了实现早期研究人员和 成立的结核病新手。这样，核心将催化下一代结核病研究人员， 提高我们对结核病的理解，并支持新兴科学的需求。 在三个综合目的中，临床核心将通过促进进入 通过综合 将介绍，建立和护理TRAC调查人员之间的关系的计划，我们的合作 合作伙伴，以及新手结核病的早期和成熟的调查人员。核心将提供咨询和 对研究人员进行新的临床，流行病学或转化研究的调查人员的培训， 最终支持研究计划，实施和传播。核心将发展一个集中式 研究数据的存储库以及相关的MTB分离株和标本与基础科学核心联系 Biorepository为创新的临床和翻译分析提供了许多机会。长期 核心的术语目标是培养可访问，有影响力且有影响力的强大结核病临床研究环境 合作，以增加TB调查人员在TRAC中进行变革性研究的协作。
