DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) RCMI Center of Excellence in Clinical and Translational Research (R-CENTER) is to train the next generation of minority clinical and translational scientists to pursue multidisciplinary approaches to discovery science that translate into the amelioration of health disparities. MSM has experienced tremendous growth and success of its research enterprise over the past decade based on a strategic plan that focuses our talent and resources in discrete areas that will serve the needs of minority communities. This R-CENTER proposal builds upon the foundational infrastructure developed with the careful stewardship and investments of RCMI resources over the past decade. Our approach is to further enhance our research capacity in clinical and translational science by building effective partnerships and seeking synergies that leverage the collective strengths of our talented faculty, trainees, students and collaborators. The R-CENTER's institution-wide organizational framework and key functions are designed to promote transformative changes in our research environment that will enhance our research capacity in clinical/translational science by pursuing the following specific aims Aim I: Transform Our Institution. Establish an organizational framework for conducting clinical/ translational research that promotes multidisciplinary approaches to addressing health disparities. Aim II: Transform Our Research Environment. Establish a robust research infrastructure and vibrant training environment that fosters innovative, multidisciplinary clinical/translational research. Aim III: Transform the Community of Biomedical Scientists - Training the Next Generation. Establish an institution-wide mechanism for recruiting, training and mentoring a critical mass of talented faculty engaged in multidisciplinary clinical/translational research. Aim IV: Transform Our Community. Establish a community-centered model of clinical/translational research that advances discovery science and translates new knowledge into improvements in the health status of minority communities. Overall, the implementation of these specific aims will enable MSM to fulfill its long-term goal of translating discovery science into community-based solutions that ameliorate health disparities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVENCE (provided by the applicant): Minority-serving academic health centers such as MSM are strategically poised to make important scientific contributions that address the devastating problem of racial/ethnic disparities of health in the US. The proposed R-CENTER program will enable MSM investigators to establish the research infrastructure and capacity necessary to pursue discovery science that will translate into improvements in the health status of the minority communities we serve.

描述（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM） RCMI临床和转化研究卓越中心（R-CENTER）的长期目标是培养下一代少数民族临床和转化科学家，以追求多学科方法来发现科学，从而转化为改善健康差距。在过去的十年里，MSM的研究事业经历了巨大的增长和成功，这是基于一项战略计划，该计划将我们的人才和资源集中在离散的领域，以满足少数民族社区的需求。该R-CENTER提案建立在过去十年中通过RCMI资源的精心管理和投资开发的基础设施之上。我们的方法是通过建立有效的伙伴关系和寻求协同效应，利用我们才华横溢的教师、学员、学生和合作者的集体优势，进一步提高我们在临床和转化科学方面的研究能力。R-CENTER在全院范围内的组织框架和关键职能旨在通过追求以下具体目标，促进我们研究环境的变革，从而提高我们在临床/转化科学方面的研究能力
