UKY DENTAL COBRE: DENTAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

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。 肯塔基大学的临床研究环境非常好。九广铁路公司占地4,000平方米。英国《金融时报》牙医学院的空间。COBRE的临床研究活动在DDKCRC协调，有4名卫生员/研究协调员，以及1名临床研究助理教授临床医生管理诊所的运作。DDKCRC的一个主要重点是创建一个研究基础设施，以：1)培养和培训临床研究专业人员、研究协调员和研究人员；2)确定并影响肯塔基州农村社区的口腔健康差距；以及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中口腔-全身疾病的联系，并确定导致这些差异的生物、遗传和社会行为因素。

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.
