RETROVIRUS RESEARCH LEADERSHIP CORE: HIV/AIDS

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 逆转录病毒研究中心（RRC）是一个促进和刺激研究解决艾滋病毒和艾滋病流行在波多黎各的设施。RRC由领导核心和实验室核心组成。此外，它还与数据管理和统计研究支助股密切合作，后者管理着一个有4 000多名艾滋病毒感染者的纵向数据库。它被认为是独特的波多黎各，因为它是唯一一个在其中的研究工作与医疗保健提供设施的充分整合到位。 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研究人员，他们有兴趣根据生态学观点描述和理解艾滋病毒感染的关键因素。生殖资源中心在继续开展对这一患者群体的研究议程方面发挥着重要作用，其目标是减少艾滋病毒流行病在泽西岛的蔓延。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。我们未来五年的目标包括：1.通过规划和促进艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究、科学生产力和假设驱动的研究，为艾滋病毒感染的多层面研究提供支持。2.支持艾滋病毒研究活动。这些资源包括艾滋病毒数据登记处、专门实验室以及血浆和淋巴细胞储存库。 3.促进RRC教职员工和研究人员的研究发展事业与DMSRSU和SRDU协调。 4. 继续支持社区参与研究活动。5. 制定战略，成为RCMI独立的艾滋病毒研究中心。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The Retrovirus Research Center (RRC) is a facility that promote and stimulates research addressing the HIV and AIDS epidemic in Puerto Rico. The RRC is composed of a Leadership Core and a Laboratory Core. In addition it works intimately with the Data Management and Statistical Research Support Unit (DMSRSU), which manages a longitudinal database of over 4,000 patients with HIV infection. It's considered unique in Puerto Rico since it is the only one in which full integration of the research effort with the health care delivery facility is in place. 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. The RRC has an important role in continuing the research agenda with this patient population with the goal of diminishing the spreading nature of the HIV epidemic in the Island. 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 objectives for the next five years will include 1. Provide the support for the study of the multidimensional aspects of HIV infection, by planning and stimulating HIV/AIDS research, scientific productivity and hypothesis driven studies. 2. Provide support for HIV research activities. The resources include the HIV Data Registry, the specialized laboratory and the plasma and lymphocyte repository. 3. Contribute to the research development career of the RRC faculty members and research staff in coordination with the DMSRSU and the SRDU. 4. Continue to provide support for community involvement in research activities. 5. Develop strategies to become a RCMI independent HIV Research Center.
