PREDICT (Precision Medicine, Education, Data Informatics and Community Translation) Institute

项目摘要 路易斯安那州泽维尔大学寻求NIH国家少数民族研究所的支持 健康和健康差异，以补充研究基础设施在大学 通过一项新的倡议。拟议的倡议将建立精确的 医学，教育，数据信息学和社区翻译（PREDICT）研究所， 一项全面的方案举措，为以下方面建立一个全面和可复制的框架： 利用电子健康数据和社区翻译来影响决策- 改善健康结果的过程。该研究所将扩大技术 研究交流（TREX）计划在泽维尔，包括培训的当前和未来 代表性不足的研究人员关于卫生信息学最佳做法的报告， 研究人员和利用社区为基础的方法，以提高临床 在弱势群体中开展研究。这一要求既具有挑战性， 机会主义时期，人们对健康差距的认识得到提高， COVID-19疫情加剧了这种情况。利用人口健康和 生物信息学数据是潜在的工具，可用于实现 健康公平。预测研究所的具体目标是： 具体目标#1：通过增加现有的Xavier卫生信息基础设施， 数据采集、数据仓库、数据访问、数据分析和技术支持能力 为解决少数民族社区的健康问题提供必要的援助。 具体目标#2：加强大学的研究和外联基础设施， 促进社区参与的转化/临床研究和健康促进，以减轻 健康差距。 具体目标#3：通过建立一个多样化的，具有高度竞争力的研究队伍， 为学生、博士后住院医师/研究员实施培训/指导计划，以及 早期/中期职业教师（预测学者）。

Project Summary Abstract Xavier University of Louisiana seeks support from the NIH National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities to complement the research infrastructure in the College of Pharmacy through a new initiative. The proposed initiative will establish the Precision Medicine, Education, Data Informatics, and Community Translation (PREDICT) Institute, a comprehensive programmatic initiative creating a holistic and replicable framework for the utilization of electronic health data and community translation to affect the decision- making process to improve health outcomes. The Institute will extend the technical research exchange (TREX) program at Xavier to include training of current and future underrepresented researchers on health informatics best practices to diversify the research workforce and leverage community-based approaches to enhance clinical research efforts in vulnerable populations. This request comes at both a challenging and opportunistic time where an awareness of health disparities was heightened and, in some instances, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of population health and bioinformatics data are potential tools useful in collective approaches required to achieve health equity. The Specific Aims of the PREDICT Institute are: Specific Aim #1: To enhance the existing Xavier health informatics infrastructure by increasing capacity for data acquisition, data warehousing, data access, data analytics, and technical assistance necessary for addressing health outcomes in minority communities. Specific Aim #2: To strengthen the research and outreach infrastructure of the university to promote community-engaged translational/clinical research and health promotion to mitigate health disparities. Specific Aim #3: To develop a diverse, highly competitive research workforce through the implementation of training/mentoring programs for students, postdoctoral residents/fellows, and early-stage/mid-career faculty (PREDICT scholars).
