DRUG ABUSE AND AIDS RESEARCH CENER AT U. MIAMI

UM-CDAAR的总体目标是通过共享资源的支持，通过加强对药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染及其他并发疾病的行为、临床、基础、流行病学、预防和应用研究，消除健康差距。我们的申请建议在一组经验丰富的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和药物滥用研究人员的基础上建立一个具有国家重要性的研究中心，这些研究人员在过去的世纪中共同工作。UM-CDAAR的建立将使我们能够正式确定这些工作关系，并将这种合作扩大到40多名艾滋病毒/艾滋病和/或药物滥用调查人员，以加强他们单独资助的项目，并促进地方，国家和国际的方案一致性，协同作用和一体化。总的来说，这个小组已经共同撰写了1000多份出版物，并在50多个联邦资助的赠款上共同工作。五个UM-CDAAR核心是通过与目前资助的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和药物滥用调查人员进行的需求评估过程选出的。选定的核心支持个人赠款的目标，并提供共享资源，这将有助于提高资源利用的成本效益和质量控制。这些核心包括：（a）行政核心;（B）发展核心;（c）生物统计、数据管理和信息技术核心;（d）干预核心;（e）跨学科方法核心。核心领导人和共同领导人是根据知识，经验，并在迈阿密大学的许多不同的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和药物滥用研究领域的代表性。所有CDAAR核心领导人都有基于当前NIH资金和同行评审出版物的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和药物滥用研究的杰出记录。CDAAR领导层中包括五名现任部门主席，这证明了高级领导层和卓越的行政管理。

The overall goal of the UM-CDAAR is to move toward the elimination of health disparities by enhancing behavioral, clinical, basic, epidemiological, prevention, and applied research on drug abuse and HIV/AIDS infection and other co-occurring illnesses, through the support of shared resources. Our application proposes to build a research center of national importance on the foundation of an experienced group of HIV/AIDS and drug abuse researchers who have worked together for the past quarter of a century. The creation of the UM-CDAAR will enable us to formalize these working relationships and to expand this collaboration to over 40 HIV/AIDS and/or drug abuse investigators to enhance their individually funded projects as well as foster programmatic coherence, synergy and integration locally, nationally and internationally. Collectively, this group has co-authored over 1000 publications and has worked together on more than 50 federally funded grants. The five UM- CDAAR cores were selected by a needs assessment process conducted with currently funded HIV/AIDS and drug abuse investigators. Cores were selected that support the aims of the individual grants and provide shared resources that would contribute toward cost-effectiveness and quality control in resource utilization. These cores include (a) Administrative Core; (b) Developmental Core; (c) Biostatistics, Data Management and Information Technology Core; (d) Interventions ore; and (e) Transdisciplinary Methods Core. Core Leaders and Co-Leaders were selected based on knowledge, experience, and representation of the many different HIV/AIDS and drug abuse research areas at the University of Miami. All CDAAR core leaders have an outstanding record of HIV/AIDS and drug abuse research based on current NIH funding and peer-reviewed publications. Evidence of senior leadership and administrative excellence is demonstrated by the inclusion of five current department chairs in the CDAAR leadership.
