Boston University Aphasia Research Core Center

哈罗德·古德格拉斯失语症研究中心(HGARC)的统一议程是整合研究和研究人员，以得出语言在大脑中如何表现的连贯图景，以诊断和治疗因脑损伤而患有沟通障碍的人。我们是一个由临床医生、临床研究人员和研究科学家组成的联盟，代表了认知神经科学、神经语言学、行为神经学、言语语言病理学、神经心理学、传播学和神经成像等学科。HGARC的一个基本要素是由NIH支持的波士顿大学失语症研究核心中心(第30页)。P30目前为HGARC附属的24个研究项目提供核心研究服务，其中14个是NIH支持的RGT(11个NIDCD)。P30包括两个研究支助核心，一个临床评估核心和一个数据管理和分析核心，以及对这些核心的行政支助。临床评估核心招募研究参与者，提供对脑损伤成年人和健康老年受试者的全面评估，并协调他们参与所有研究。临床核心考试包括四个主要组成部分：医学/神经学、语言、神经心理学和神经成像。数据管理和分析核心为每个研究参与者提供了一个全面的、受保护的数据库，其中包含所有评估和研究数据。这个核心的具体目标是管理临床核心成员和所有研究项目获得的数据，确保数据的完整性，使所有HGARC研究人员都可以访问数据，并为持续的数据分析和新研究方案的开发提供研究设计和统计支持。我们的P30允许集中化劳动密集型任务，否则这些任务无法在附属研究项目的预算中得到支持。

The unifying agenda of the Harold Goodglass Aphasia Research Center (HGARC) is to integrate research and researchers to arrive at a coherent picture of how language is represented in the brain for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment of persons with communication disorders due to brain damage. We are a consortium of clinicians, clinical researchers, and research scientists representing the disciplines of cognitive neuroscience, neurolinguistics, behavioral neurology, speech-language pathology, neuropsychology, communication sciences, and neuroimaging. A foundational element of the HGARC is the NIH-supported Boston University Aphasia Research Core Center (P30). The P30 currently provides core research services to 24 research projects affiliated with the HGARC, of which 14 are NIH-supported RGTs (11 NIDCD). The P30 consists of two research support cores, a Clinical Assessment Core and a Data Management and Analysis (DAMA) Core, together with administrative support for these cores. The Clinical Assessment Core recruits research participants, provides comprehensive assessments of brain damaged adults and healthy elderly subjects, and coordinates their participation in all research. Clinical Core examinations include four major components: medical/neurological, language, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging. The Data Management and Analysis Core provides a comprehensive, protected database of all assessment and research data for each research participant. The specific aims of this Core are to manage the data obtained by members of the clinical core and all research projects, ensure data integrity, make data accessible to all HGARC researchers, and provide research design and statistical support for on-going analysis of data and development of new research protocols. Our P30 allows for the centralization of labor-intensive tasks that could not otherwise be supported on the budgets of the affiliated research projects.
