MSM RCMI CLINICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE

要求通过少数民族机构研究中心临床研究基础设施倡议继续支持临床研究中心（CRC）。莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM）的CRC是该机构履行其使命的第一步，即在患者护理领域改善服务不足的少数民族人口的健康。作为一个年轻的机构，MSM认识到临床研究中心在提高美国和世界卫生保健标准方面发挥的悠久历史。男男性接触者CRC的存在对教师们有很大的影响，他们把研究重点放在那些不成比例的少数民族和服务不足的美国人群的健康问题上，这导致了基础科学教师和临床教师在研究努力方面的更大合作。它还进一步导致与哈佛大学医学院、疾病控制中心、埃默里大学、佐治亚州立大学、波士顿大学、阿拉巴马大学和富尔顿县卫生与保健部合作培训和/或研究临床教员。在RCMI的最后四年里，对男男性接触者CRC临床研究活动的支持从4个增加到27个，由公共卫生服务（PHS）资助的临床研究导向的研究（增加67%），其中一些正在审查中。由中心资助的研究项目由1995至96学年的0个增加至1998至99学年的12个。要求继续提供支持，以帮助男同性恋者继续努力建立临床研究项目，使其在政府和私人基金会的研究支持中具有竞争力。在此申请中，我们要求继续支持行政和临床核心，并额外支持卫生保健有效性和结果研究。这将增强我们在多个临床地点支持和协调临床研究的能力。这也将允许CRC在多个临床地点协调额外的壁画研究。

Continued support is requested for the Clinical Research Center (CRC) through the Research Center for Minority Institutions (RCMI) clinical research infrastructure initiative. The CRC at the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM)( was the first major step in embarking the institution on fulfilling its mission of improving health of the underserved minority populations in the area of patient care. As a young institution, MSM recognizes the long history that clinical research centers have played in and improving the standards of health care in America and the world. The presence of the CRC at MSM has had great influence upon the faculty to focus research on those health problems that disproportionately minorities and underserved populations of the U.S. This has led to greater collaboration between the basic science faculty and the clinical faculty in research endeavors. It has further led to collaborations for training and/or research of clinical faculty with Harvard University School of Medicine, Center for Disease Control (CDC), Emory University, Georgia State University, Boston University, University of Alabama and Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness. During the last four years of the RCMI, support for the CRC clinical research activity at MSM has increased from 4 to 27 Public Health Service (PHS) funded clinical research oriented studies (67% increase), with a number under review. Research projects supported through the CRC have increased from 0 during 1995 to 96 academic year to 12 in 1998-99. Continued support is requested to aid MSM in continuation of its effort to build a research program in clinical research to make it competitive for research support from government and private foundations. In this application, we are requesting continued support for the Administrative and Clinical Core with additional support of Health Care Effectiveness and Outcome Research. This will enhance our ability to support and coordinate clinical studies at multiple clinical sites. This will also allow the CRC to coordinate extra mural studies at multiple clinical sites.
