摘要 北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）建议建立一个RCMI -健康差异中心 （RCHDR）进行尖端研究，以解决健康差距。该中心是一个合作的努力 在多个NCCU单位，并将被安置在朱利叶斯L。钱伯斯生物医学/生物技术研究 研究所（BBRI）。该中心专注于基础和行为生物医学研究，将利用资源， 在三角研究区的邻近机构，社区组织和 全国RCMI转化研究网络（RTRN）推进以下具体目标：（1） 加强NCCU在基础生物医学和行为研究领域的研究能力， 开展三项创新和重大的研究项目;以及建立强大的研究基础设施 核心和社区参与核心，研究人员将获得基础/生物医学工具， 行为科学;（2）准备和启用各级调查人员（包括博士后，研究跟踪， 终身教职和终身教职）成为成功的校外资助的健康差距研究人员， 建立调查员发展核心，并为侧重于卫生的试点项目提供资金 差异研究，由NCCU经验丰富的调查员提供强有力的指导和/或合作 （3）提供辅助活动，促进有利于职业发展的协作环境 通过提供多种职业提升活动和合作活动来提升;以及（4）建立 与邻近的研究和社区组织以及RTRN网络建立可持续的关系， 在NCCU推进尖端健康差距研究。利用现有的生物医学承诺， 在国立政治大学成立这样一个综合性的RCMI中心，将大大提高大学的研究能力。 这一HBCU，并推动它实现其解决健康差距的使命。

Abstract The North Carolina Central University (NCCU) proposes to establish a RCMI - Center for Health Disparities (RCHDR) to conduct cutting edge research for addressing health disparities. The Center is a collaborative effort within multiple NCCU units and will be housed at the Julius L. Chambers Biomedical/Biotechnology Research Institute (BBRI). Focusing on basic and behavioral biomedical research, the Center will leverage resources and partnerships at the neighboring institutions in the Research Triangle area, community based organizations and the nationwide RCMI Translational Research Network (RTRN) to advance the following specific aims: (1) Enhance the research capacity of NCCU within the areas of basic biomedical and behavioral research by conducting three innovative and significant research projects; and developing a strong research infrastructure core and community engagement core where investigators will have access to the tools for basic/biomedical and behavioral sciences; (2) Prepare and enable all levels of investigators (including postdocs, research track, tenure-track and tenured faculty) to become successful extramurally funded health disparities researchers by developing an Investigator Development Core (IDC) and providing funding for pilot projects focused on health disparities research with robust mentoring by an experienced investigator from NCCU and/or partnering institutions; (3) Provide ancillary activities and promote a collaborative environment conducive to career enhancement by offering a multitude of career enhancement activities and collaborative events; and (4) establish sustainable relationships with neighboring research and community-based organizations and RTRN network to advance cutting edge health disparities research at NCCU. Leveraging the existing biomedical commitment of NCCU and establishing such an integrated RCMI Center at NCCU will greatly enhance the research capacity at this HBCU and drive it towards achieving its mission of addressing health disparities.
