RESEARCH CORE

研究核心 A.研究核心的总体目标和连续性 这个核心的总体意图是提供所需的研究基础设施，以支持我们的计划 有三个目标： 进行原创和创新的基础实验室，行为，临床和基于人口的研究 旨在消除与糖尿病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的健康差距， 高血压/心血管疾病; 将卫生服务研究成果转化为温斯顿-塞勒姆相当大的 少数民族人口和12个县皮埃蒙特三合会地区的人口，利用WSSU的长期 社区伙伴关系;以及 为本科生/研究生和初级教师创造新的培训机会， 少数民族健康或健康差异的研究兴趣。 这些目标意义重大，将是我们方案和机构努力的主要重点， 消除我们社区的健康差距。我们的生物医学研究中心由研究支持 少数民族机构基础设施（RIMI）和其他研究支持计划在以下方面非常有帮助： 为教师发展和学生进入领导岗位提供研究培训基地 研究生课程。例如，从事生物医学、行为学、临床、 以人口为基础的旨在消除健康差异的研究从2005年的平均6 从2000年的卫生相关部门到2006年的25名研究人员。同样，研究生入学人数 WSSU在医学，牙科和生物医学博士课程的少数民族毕业生人数不足， 行为科学增加了一倍多，从生物医学/心理学的118名毕业生中有8名 1999年和2000年，少数族裔毕业生总数的7%被分配到179名毕业生中的18名 (10占少数民族毕业生总数的百分比）。2005-2006学年， 大约7个不同的正在进行的生物医学研究项目与少数民族健康有关，总费用不高 180万的校外资助美国国立卫生研究院的资金总额超过170万美元（占93%）。 今年的预算外资金总额）。因此，WSSU的研究环境是良好的，意义重大 鉴于我们的学生人数众多，我们有机会培训少数族裔学生。热切的，坚定的 在这个应用程序中，这些项目背后的团队能够提供一个强大的研究培训环境 这将继续服务于学生在WSSU和更大的研究社区的需求。

RESEARCH CORE A. OVERALL GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH CORE The overall intent of this core is to provide the required research infrastructure to support our program objectives that are threefold: ¿ to conduct original and innovative basic laboratory, behavioral, clinical, and population-based research aimed at eliminating health disparities as they relate to diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and hypertension/cardiovascular disease; ¿ to translate health services research outcomes into improvements for the Winston-Salem's sizeable minority population and the 12 county Piedmont Triad region's population by leveraging WSSU's longstanding community partnerships; and ¿ to create new training opportunities for undergraduate/graduate students and junior faculty to pursue research interests in minority health or health disparities. These objectives are significant and will be the main focus of our programmatic and institutional efforts to eliminate health disparity in our community. Our Biomedical Research Center supported by Research Infrastructure in Minority Institution (RIMI) and other research support programs have been quite helpful in providing a research training ground for faculty development as well as for students to matriculate into leading graduate programs. For example, the number of faculty members engaged in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and population-based research aimed at eliminating health disparities has increased from an average of six in health-related departments in 2000 to 25 faculty researchers in 2006. Likewise, post-graduate enrollment of under-represented minority graduates of WSSU in medical, dental and PhD programs in biomedical or behavioral sciences has more than doubled, from 8 of 118 graduates from the biomedical / psychology departments in 1999 and 2000 (7% of total minority graduates) to 18 of 179 graduates from those departments (10% of total minority graduates) in the past three years. In the academic year 2005-2006, there were approximately 7 different ongoing biomedical research projects related to minority health for a modest total cost of $1.8 million extramural funding. The amount of NIH funding was over $1.7 million (representing 93% of the total extramural funding for that year). Thus, the environment for research at WSSU is good and significant opportunities exist for training minority students given the size of our student population. The eager, committed team behind these projects in this application is capable of providing a strong research-training environment that will continue to serve the needs of students at WSSU and the larger research community.
