MOREHOUSE CCRE PARTICIPANT COORDINATION CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 临床研究基础设施的一个关键要素涉及招募研究参与者的能力。男男性接触者有机会成为与研究不足的少数群体相关的临床研究的全国领先者。自成立以来，MSM一直坚定地致力于为少数族裔人群服务。这种长期的关系培养了一种信任的纽带，这有助于缓解许多少数族裔受试者对临床研究的普遍不信任和怀疑。研究参与者协调资源旨在促进将研究对象招募到各种CCRE议定书的进程。此外，该资源的一个主要目标是促进 通过提供一个为所有CCRE研究人员提供服务的集中共享设施，有效地实施CCRE研究项目。对于初级研究人员来说，获得这一资源尤其重要，他们缺乏必要的资金来维持对最大研究生产率至关重要的研究人员。 此外，这一资源的持续提供为维持一支训练有素的研究人员队伍提供了稳定，这些人在启动并随后接近个别项目资金来源的方案周期中得以维持。这一共享设施的建立还最大限度地减少了研究活动中经常出现的大量延误，这些延误往往是由于反复雇用和培训新人员而发生的。与经验丰富的临床研究人员合作的机会对年轻的临床研究人员特别有益，他们从集体实践经验和技术技能中获益。CCRE计划总监将担任这一共享设施的PI。这一疏忽将 为主任提供另一个机会，以便在实施CCRE项目时与这些项目的迫切需要保持密切联系。这一资源还将包括：一名项目经理，50%全时当量研究参与者招聘协调员(与儿童权利中心分摊费用)和3)一名专职的CCRE研究助理。预计接触到这些领域的熟练人员将大大提高我们CCRE调查人员的研究效率。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A critical element of the clinical research infrastructure involves the capacity to recruit research participants. The MSM has an opportunity to emerge as a national leader in clinical research that relates to under-studied minority populations. Since its founding, MSM has maintained a strong commitment to serving minority populations. This longstanding relationship has fostered a bond of trust that has helped to mitigate the common mistrust and suspicion that many minority subjects perceive about clinical research. The Research Participant Coordination Resource is intended to facilitate the process of recruiting research subjects into the various CCRE protocols. In addition, a major objective of the resource is to promote efficient implementation of the CCRE research projects by providing a centralized shared facility that serves all CCRE investigators. The access to this resource is particularly important for junior investigators who lack the funding necessary to maintain research personnel who are essential for maximal research productivity. Moreover, the ongoing availability of this resource provides stability in the maintenance of a cadre of welltrained research personnel who are sustained through cycles of protocols that are initiated and subsequently close with individual project funding sources. The creation of this shared-use facility also minimizes the substantial delays in research activity that often occur with repeated cycles of hiring and training new personnel. The opportunity to work with experienced clinical research personnel is particularly beneficial to young clinical investigators who gain from their collective practical experience as well as technical skills. The CCRE Program Director will serve as the PI of this shared-use facility. This oversight will provide an additional opportunity for the Director to remain in close touch with the exigencies of the CCRE projects as they are implemented. This resource will also include: a Project Manager, 50% FTE Research Participant Recruitment Coordinator (cost sharing with the CRC) and 3) a dedicated CCRE Research Assistant. It is anticipated that the access to skilled personnel in these areas will substantially improve research productivity of our CCRE investigators.
