Clinical Services Core

临床服务核心（CSC）是一种中央资源，旨在支持源于Case CFAR或由Case CFAR支持的所有人类受试者研究项目的开发、实施和分析的每一步。公务员制度委员会的具体目标包括： 维护和扩展一个全面和可访问的患者护理和研究数据库（PCRD）。 维护和扩展与患者护理数据库链接的样本库。 为研究人员提供访问预先选择的感兴趣的患者，并确定为有资格（通过挖掘患者护理和研究数据库）参加艾滋病毒临床试验或其他研究。 维护，扩大，并提供访问新建立的数据库超过800艾滋病毒阴性志愿者在克利夫兰地区谁有兴趣参与艾滋病毒研究。 协调与其他参与旨在对艾滋病毒观察数据进行研究的合作项目的机构交换临床和实验室数据。该案例CFAR是两个这样的合作，CFAR网络综合临床系统（CNICS）和北美艾滋病队列研究和设计合作（NAACCORD）的创始成员。 帮助CFAR研究人员规划和设计使用PCRD和标本库的研究，帮助研究人员制定充分利用核心数据和标本的研究问题。 为病例CFAR调查人员提供生物统计学和流行病学支持和建议，并提供流行病学和生物统计学方面的培训和教师发展。

The Clinical Services Core (CSC) is a central resource designed to support each step in the development, conduct, and analysis of all human subject research projects originated from or supported by the Case CFAR. Specific aims of the CSC include: ¿ Maintain and expand a comprehensive and accessible Patient Care and Research Database (PCRD). ¿ Maintain and expand a specimen repository linked to the patient care database. ¿ Provide researchers with access to patients pre-selected for interest and identified as eligible (through mining of the Patient Care and Research Database) to participate in HIV clinical trials or other research studies. ¿ Maintain, expand, and provide access to a newly established database of over 800 HIV-negative volunteers in the Cleveland area who are interested in participating in HIV research. ¿ Coordinate the exchange of clinical and laboratory data with other institutions participating in collaborative projects designed to conduct research on HIV observational data. The Case CFAR is a founding member of two such collaborations, the CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) and the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NAACCORD). ¿ Assist CFAR researchers in planning and designing studies that use the PCRD and the specimen repository by helping investigators formulate research questions that take full advantage of the data and specimens available through the Core. ¿ Provide biostatistical and epidemiologic support and advice to Case CFAR investigators, and provide training and faculty development in epidemiology and biostatistics.
