DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To harness the potential of patient oriented research with a focus towards reducing racial, ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic health disparities, the Drew proposes the construction of a LSC, which would be a state-of-the-art Research Center. The LSC will be a new 40,000 sq. ft., two-story physical structure that is needed to replace existing inadequate clinical research areas. The present application is directed toward phase I of the LSC, that will include construction of the shell and build-out of the first floor for clinical research activities. The existing clinical research areas consist of a six-bed outpatient facility that occupies a small unit in the affiliated county medical facility, several temporary trailers on campus, and a satellite research facility off-campus that houses clinical research programs. Drew has a long-standing tradition of excellence, with an institutional mission to reduce health disparities. Several faculty members have nationally and internationally recognized strengths in areas of clinical investigation such as: 1) complex metabolic disorders (diabetes, hypertension, obesity); 2) HIV; 3) cardiovascular and related diseases; 4) environmental and biobehavioral influences on health; and 5) assessment of cultural and epidemiological factors that influence clinical outcomes. Unfortunately, the lack of adequate space and facilities to provide a cohesive and integrated clinical research environment is an impediment to optimizing research subject participation, maintaining subject adherence, maximizing programmatic efficiency, and supporting growth of clinical investigation. The creation of an integrated clinical research environment will transcend these barriers and advance the accomplishment of high quality National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded clinical research. The vision of the LSC encompasses clinical investigation in the broad context of both the individual and the community, and will provide a critical environment for innovation, creative thinking, and enhanced inter-disciplinary interactions between clinical scientists. In summary, the Specific Aims of the Drew LSC are to: 1) construct a state-of-art two-story research facility (of which federal funds will support the build-out of the first floor only) that integrates a collaborative interaction of major NIH-funded clinically focused research programs and clinical investigative studies into a unified clinical sciences program; 2) provide an optimal physical environment that will support and enhance student training, federally-funded clinical investigators, and the recruitment of established researchers; and 3) improve the clinical research environment at Drew to facilitate high quality training for junior faculty and postdoctoral trainees dedicated to pursuing clinical investigation, with an emphasis on addressing critical health issues of a growing and culturally diverse nati

描述（由申请人提供）：为了利用以患者为导向的研究的潜力，重点是减少种族，民族，文化和社会经济健康差距，德鲁建议建设一个LSC，这将是一个国家的最先进的研究中心。LSC将是一个新的40，000平方米。英尺，两层的物理结构，需要取代现有的不足的临床研究领域。本申请涉及LSC的I期，其将包括壳体的构造和用于临床研究活动的第一层的扩建。现有的临床研究领域包括一个六张病床的门诊设施，占用附属县医疗设施的一个小单元，校园内的几个临时拖车，以及一个容纳临床研究项目的校外卫星研究设施。德鲁有着悠久的卓越传统，其机构使命是减少健康差距。一些教师在临床研究领域具有国内和国际公认的优势，如：1）复杂的代谢紊乱（糖尿病，高血压，肥胖症）; 2）艾滋病毒; 3）心血管和相关疾病; 4）环境和生物行为对健康的影响;和5）影响临床结果的文化和流行病学因素的评估。不幸的是，缺乏足够的空间和设施，以提供一个有凝聚力的和综合的临床研究环境是一个障碍，以优化研究对象的参与，保持受试者的依从性，最大限度地提高程序的效率，并支持临床研究的增长。创建一个综合的临床研究环境将超越这些障碍，并推进高质量的美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助的临床研究的成就。LSC的愿景包括在个人和社区的广泛背景下进行临床研究，并将为创新，创造性思维和增强临床科学家之间的跨学科互动提供关键环境。总而言之，德鲁LSC的具体目标是：1）建造一个最先进的两层研究设施（其中联邦资金将仅支持一楼的扩建），将NIH资助的主要临床重点研究项目和临床调查研究的协作互动整合到统一的临床科学项目中; 2）提供一个最佳的物理环境，将支持和加强学生的培训，联邦资助的临床研究人员，并建立研究人员的招聘;以及3）改善德鲁的临床研究环境，以促进对致力于临床研究的初级教师和博士后学员的高质量培训，重点是解决一个不断发展和文化多样性国家的关键健康问题，
