RETROVIRUS RESEARCH LEADERSHIP CORE: HIV/AIDS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 逆转录病毒研究中心（RRC）是一个研究中心，促进和促进艾滋病毒/艾滋病和其他逆转录病毒在波多黎各的研究。 该中心由加勒比中央大学及其在波多黎各Bayamon的医疗保健机构赞助。研究中心的目的是促进艾滋病毒感染研究成为一个多学科研究竞技场，其中临床、免疫学、病毒学、心理社会和行为参数需要纳入一个连贯的研究战略。该中心聚集了多学科的研究人员，他们有兴趣根据该疾病的生态学观点来描述和理解艾滋病毒感染的关键因素。目前的提案将中心的结构组织为三个交错的核心设施，这将为创新性试点研究的发展提供支持。领导核心通过在产生假设驱动的研究中发挥积极作用，协调和促进艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的智力激励环境。RRC的多学科愿景是对美国国立卫生研究院研究疾病复杂性的愿景的回应。我们的人口主要是西班牙裔，70-80%的人感染艾滋病毒直接或间接与药物滥用有关。生殖资源中心在继续开展研究方面发挥着重要作用，最终目标是减少艾滋病毒在岛上的蔓延。 领导核心将提供行政基础设施和后勤，通过其两个主要核心设施：艾滋病毒/艾滋病数据核心和实验室核心，支持研究活动。

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. The Retrovirus Research Center (RRC) is a research center that promotes and facilitates the study of HIV/AIDS and other retroviruses in Puerto Rico. The center is sponsored by the Universidad Central del Caribe and its health care facility in Bayamon Puerto Rico. The aim of the RRC is to promote the study of HIV- infection as a multidisciplinary research arena in which the clinical, immunological, virological, psychosocial and behavioral parameters need to be integrated into a coherent research strategy. The center agglutinates multidisciplinary researchers interesting in describing and understanding key elements of HIV-infection according to an ecological view of the disease. The current proposal organized the structure of the center in three interlacing core facilities, which will provide support for the development of innovative pilot studies. The Leadership Core coordinates and facilitates an intellectually stimulating environment for HIV/AIDS research by playing a proactive role in generating hypothesis-driven studies. This multidisciplinary vision of the RRC is responsive to the vision of the National Institutes of Health their role of studying the complexity of diseases. Our population is mostly Hispanic and between 70-80% have HIV- infection directly or indirectly related to substance abuse practices. The RRC has an important role in continuing the research with the ultimate goal of diminishing the spreading nature of the HIV epidemic in the island. The Leadership Core will provide an administrative infrastructure and logistic to support research activities through its main two core facilities: The HIV/AIDS Data Core and the Laboratory Core.
