University of New Mexico Clinical and Translational Science Center

在新墨西哥州健康科学中心（HSC）的大学临床和转化科学中心的这一建议将促进一个变革性的，新颖的，综合性的学术家的临床和转化科学在一个旗舰机构，服务于整个新墨西哥州和美国西南地区的出现。1）协同多学科和跨学科的临床和转化研究和研究人员，以促进新知识和技术在患者护理第一线的临床实践中的应用; 2）招募，培训和推进训练有素的跨学科研究人员和研究团队，具有文化敏感性，健康差异和生物技术; 3）创建创新研究和信息技术的孵化器; 4）扩大UNM健康科学中心（HSC）研究人员，执业临床医生和社区之间的现有合作伙伴关系，以加快研究的发展。我们对CTSC的愿景将我们的基础，临床和翻译研究人员，社区临床医生，临床实践，医疗保健和研究合作者以及行业合作伙伴的努力联系起来。由于新墨西哥州有很高比例的种族多样性（即，西班牙裔和印第安人），农村，医疗被剥夺，和健康不同的人群，在新墨西哥州的CTSC可以独特地解决这些问题。联合国毒品和犯罪问题联合技术服务中心将利用尚未兑现的机构承诺（至少57 802 262美元）来实现其目标。UNM CTSC拥有对招聘，雇用，保护时间，期望，晋升和任期，以及其教师的评估的权力。在规划过程中取得的以下成就，证明了联合国墨西哥城反恐和安保服务中心在这些努力中的承诺和效力：（1）在新的翻译研究副总裁的领导下重组UNM HSC研究使命，该副总裁有权进行研究教育，合规和研究职能，（2）建立一个由机构资助的K12类计划，并招聘5名初级教师，（3）开发创新的新研究教育计划，（4）操作功能扩展的参与者和临床互动资源组件，该组件服务于几项基于社区的研究的需求，包括具有里程碑意义的新国家儿童研究，（五）重新设计我们的机构方法，以生物医学信息学和开发一个区域临床数据仓库，将提供给研究者使用580万美元的投资，以及（6）为CTSC建造和翻新新建筑物。此外，UNM的承诺包括1450万美元的新机构资金承诺CTSC计划，和850万美元的配套资金，以建设新的空间，创造一个物理家的CTSC。该提案的资金将确保这些转型的可持续性和增长，这是支持UNM临床和转化研究所急需的。

This proposal for a Clinical and Translational Science Center at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (HSC) will catalyze the emergence of a transformative, novel, and integrated academic home for clinical and translational science at a flagship institution that serves the entire state of New Mexico and the Southwestern region of the U.S. This center will have the infrastructure and consolidated resources to: 1) synergize multi- and interdisciplinary clinical and translational research and researchers to catalyze the application of new knowledge and techniques to clinical practice at the front lines of patient care; 2) recruit, train, and advance well-trained Interdisciplinary investigators and research teams with strength In cultural sensitivity, health disparity, and biotechnology; 3) create an incubator for innovative research and information technologies; and 4) expand existing partnerships between UNM Health Sciences Center (HSC) researchers, practicing clinicians, and communities to speed the development of research. Our vision of the CTSC links and focuses the efforts of our basic, clinical, and translational investigators, community clinicians, clinical practices, health care and research collaborators, and industry partners. Since New Mexico has a high proportion of ethnically diverse (i.e., Hispanic and Native American), rural, medically disenfranchised, and health-disparate populations, a CTSC in New Mexico can uniquely address these problems. The UNM CTSC will draw upon outstanding Institutional commitment (at least $57,802,262 ) to achieve its goals. The UNM CTSC possesses authority over the recruiting, hiring, protected time, expectations, promotion and tenure, and evaluation of its faculty members. Evidence of the commitment and effectiveness of the UNM CTSC In these pursuits are apparent from the following achievements made during the planning process: (1) reorganization of the UNM HSC research mission under a new Vice President for Translational Research with authority over research education, compliance and research functions, (2) establishment of an institutionally-funded K12-llke program, and recruitment of 5 junior faculty, (3) development of Innovative new research education programs, (4) operation of a functionally expanded Participant and Clinical Interactive Resources component that is serving the needs of several community-based studies, Including the landmark, new National Children's Study, (5) the redesign of our institutional approach to Biomedical Informatics and development of a regional clinical data warehouse that will be available to Investigators using a $5.8 M Investment, and (6) construction and renovation of new buildings for the CTSC. Additionally, UNM's commitment Includes $14.5 M In new institutional funds committed to CTSC programs, and $8.5 M in matching funds to construct new space to create a physical home for the CTSC. Funding of this proposal will assure sustainability and growth of these transformations that Is critically needed to support clinical and translational research at UNM.
