UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS)

描述（由申请人提供）：为了支持跨T1-T4频谱的创新，跨学科研究，以改善人类健康和医疗保健服务，UAB临床和转化科学中心（CCTS）创造了一个充满活力的研究环境，促进团队的科学方法。作为“研究者的声音”和“参与者的倡导者”，CCTS领导层在塑造机构研究倡议方面的作用是我们推动研究环境持续改善的能力的核心，这将加速知识的发现，发展和交付。为了实现签名机会以及集体协同作用，我们组建了一个合作伙伴网络，以跨越机构界限实现互利。 我们致力于我们的学员，教师和整个网络的学习者社区的教育和发展。为了这些目的，CCTS在一个综合的家庭中协调其计划和服务，该家庭将：1）提供愿景和领导力，代表我们的社区倡导改善临床和转化研究环境; 2）通过内部和外部合作伙伴关系扩大我们的研究能力，扩展最佳实践，并确定协同作用和提高效率的机会; 3）提供一个强大的临床生态系统，包括对人类受试者研究的安全和道德行为负责的文化; 4）在提供世界级的信息资源时，采用高标准的数据安全，使研究，医疗保健和教育成为可能; 5）通过我们的研究共享支持创新研究，新颖的方法和团队方法在转化科学;和6）通过良好的资源管理确保可持续性。 我们的愿景是加速整个转化研究领域的发现，以改善人类健康。我们的战略包括改善我们的机构研究环境，通过合作伙伴关系扩大我们的研究能力，提高我们的教师的专业知识和技能，并通过资源和责任的良好管理确保可持续发展。我们看到了跨越传统学科和机构界限的机会，这不仅有利于专业知识的协同作用，而且有利于提高效率，避免重复。我们还看到与本区域人口流行病学合作的机会，以解决关键的保健问题，制定和实施最佳办法和最佳做法，推进我们改善人类健康的集体使命。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To support innovative, transdisciplinary research across the T1-T4 spectrum in order to improve human health and health care delivery, the UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) has created a vibrant research environment fostering team approaches to science. As 'voice of the investigator' and 'advocate for the participant,' the role of CCTS leadership in shaping the institution's research initiativesis central to our ability to drive ongoing improvements in the research environment that will accelerate discovery, development and delivery of knowledge. Realizing signature opportunities as well as collective synergy, we have assembled a Partner Network to provide mutual benefit across institutional boundaries. We are committed to the education and development of our trainees, faculty and community of learners throughout our Network. To these ends, the CCTS has coordinated its programs and services within an integrated Home that will: 1) provide vision and leadership to advocate for improvements in the clinical and translational research environment on behalf of our communities; 2) expand our research capacity through internal and external partnerships, extending best practices and identifying synergies and opportunities for efficiency; 3) offer a robust clinical ecosystem embracing a culture of responsibility for the safe and ethical conduct of human subjects research; 4) embrace high standards for data security in the provision of world class informatics resources enabling research, health care and education; 5) support innovative research, novel methodologies, and team approaches in translational science through our Research Commons; and 6) ensure sustainability through good stewardship of resources. Our vision is to accelerate discovery across the entire spectrum of translational research to improve human health. Our strategy involves improving our institutional research environments, expanding our research capacity through partnerships, enhancing the expertise and skills of our faculty, and ensuring sustainability through good stewardship of resources and responsibility. We see opportunity by cutting across traditional disciplines and institutional boundaries not only for synergy of expertise but also for efficiency without duplication. We also see opportunity in working with the population epidemiology of our region to address key health care issues to develop and implement optimal approaches and best practices to advance our collective mission of improving human health.
