Research Core

研究和教师发展核心围绕强大的假设驱动的研究，解决重要的少数民族健康问题。每个项目都为迪拉德的初级教师提供了一个前所未有的机会，使他们成为有竞争力的基础或临床研究人员。此外，这些项目提供了一个临床研究环境，培养本科生和少数民族护士成为临床研究助理（CRAs），他们反过来将在促进少数民族参与医疗保健方面发挥关键作用

The Research and Faculty Development Core centers around strong hypothesis-driven research that addresses significant minority health issues. Each project provides an unprecedented opportunity for junior faculty at Dillard to become competitive basic or clinical researchers. Furthermore, these projects provide a clinical research setting in which to train undergraduate students and minority nurses to become clinical research associates (CRAs), who in turn, will play a key role in promoting minority participation in clinical research and clinical trials. Each project pairs an established investigator with a junior faculty member at Dillard in a model that promotes faculty development. In addition, the biostatistics group will provide mentoring for a biostatistician at Dillard, bringing to four the initial number of Dillard faculty to be mentored. The faculty development program is based on a development curriculum for junior faculty and has a strong evaluation component based on achieving independent research funding at Dillard.
