UKY DENTAL COBRE: DENTAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 肯塔基州大学的临床研究环境非常好。 该铁路占地4，000平方米。英尺在牙科学院的空间。 COBRE的临床研究计划由DDKCRC协调，有4名药剂师/研究协调员和一名临床研究助理教授临床医生管理诊所的运作。 DDKCRC的主要重点是创建一个研究基础设施：1）开发和培训临床研究专业人员，研究协调员和研究人员; 2）定义和影响肯塔基州农村社区的口腔健康差异; 3）支持CBBO/SD赠款的临床项目。 最初的重点将是调查，以确定这些农村人口的口腔系统疾病的联系，并确定生物，遗传和社会行为因素，这些差异。

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 clinical research environment at the University of Kentucky is excellent. The DDKCRC occupies 4,000 sq. ft. of space in the College of Dentistry. The clinical research initiatives of the COBRE are coordinated in the DDKCRC, with 4 hygienists/study coordinators, and a Clinical Research Assistant Professor clinician who manages the operations of the clinic. A primary focus of the DDKCRC is to create a research infrastructure to: 1) develop and train clinical research professionals, research coordinators, and research staff; 2) define and impact oral health disparities in rural communities of Kentucky; and 3) support the clinical projects of the CBBO/SD grant. An initial emphasis will be on investigations to determine oral-systemic disease linkages in these rural populations, and to define biological, genetic, and socio-behavioral factors contributing to these disparities.
