Stroke Prevention/Intervention Research Program

本提案的目的是确定美国卒中和脑血管疾病相关种族和地理差异的原因，并建立预防/干预计划，以减少或消除这些差异。中风预防/干预研究计划（SPIRP）将寻求扩大和提高莫尔豪斯医学院教师的中风研究能力，并鼓励创新和有效的研究策略，以减少人口中风的负担 在历史上，这种疾病的风险增加。该计划将由多学科开发 在中风研究、少数民族中风研究培训和职业发展领域与地区私营和政府机构建立伙伴关系，并向城市和农村非洲裔美国人社区提供有效的中风预防/干预服务。第一年将建立社区、临床和转化科学方面的中风和脑血管疾病发展合作研究项目，沿着将支持社区项目教育推广工作的交流中心的规划和发展。内部和外部咨询委员会将共同努力，为该方案的管理、规划和评估提供指导。 委员会。除了改善服务不足人群的健康状况，SPIRP还将培养和准备下一代中风和血管研究人员，以继续这一重要举措。通过实现这些目标，SPIRP将为减少非裔美国人社区中风发病率和死亡率的差异做出重大贡献。该计划最初将包括五个核心（行政，社区，发展，数据库和动物模型实验室核心）和三个试点项目。

The objective of this proposal is to identify reasons for racial and geographic disparities related to stroke and cerebrovascular disease in the United States and to establish Prevention/Intervention programs that will reduce or eliminate these disparities. The Stroke Prevention/Intervention Research Program (SPIRP) will seek to augment and enhance the stroke research capabilities of faculty at the Morehouse School of Medicine and encourage innovative and effective research strategies to reduce the burden of stroke in populations historically at increased risk for this disease. This Program will be developed by multi-disciplinary partnerships with regional private and governmental institutions in the areas of stroke research, minority stroke research training and career development, and effective stroke prevention/intervention outreach to urban and rural African-American Communities. Collaborative stroke and cerebrovascular disease developmental research projects in community-based, clinical, and translational science will be established in the first year, along with the planning and development of the communication center that will support the educational outreach efforts of the community-based projects. Guidance on the administration, planning and evaluation of the program will be provided by the collaborative efforts of the Internal and External Advisory Committees. In addition to improving the health of the underserved, SPIRP will develop and prepare the next generation of stroke and vascular research investigators to continue this important initiative. By accomplishing each of these objectives, SPIRP will make a significant contribution to reducing the disparity in stroke incidence, and mortality, in the African-American community. The program will initially consist of five cores (Administrative, Community, Developmental, Database, and Animal Model Laboratory Cores) and three pilot projects.
