Research Core

研究和教师发展核心围绕着强有力的假设驱动的研究，解决重要的少数群体健康问题。每个项目都为Dillard的初级教员提供了一个前所未有的机会，让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，在其中培养本科生和少数族裔护士成为临床研究助理(CRA)，他们反过来将在促进少数族裔参与临床研究方面发挥关键作用。 临床研究和临床试验。每个项目都以一种促进教师发展的模式，将迪拉德的一名资深研究员与一名初级教员配对。此外，生物统计学小组将为Dillard的一名生物统计学家提供指导，使Dillard最初需要指导的教职员工人数达到4人。教师发展计划以初级教师的发展课程为基础，并有一个强大的评估组成部分，基于实现迪拉德的独立研究资金。

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.
