Core--Clinical Facility

自从近两年前路易斯安那性病研究中心（LaSTDRC）成立以来，新奥尔良的研究小组了解到，集中临床资源，包括临床研究设计和政府将方面的专业知识，是临床研究项目中更有效的患者登记方法。因此，我们建议在这个CRC应用中形成一个临床核心。该核心将做以下工作：A.从新奥尔良用于性传播感染研究的三个主要临床站点将患者纳入结直肠癌临床方案。新奥尔良路易斯安那州医学中心HIV门诊（HOP）诊所。2. 新奥尔良性传播疾病诊所（也称为德尔加多诊所）是该市卫生部门的一个组成部分。3. 奥尔良教区计划生育诊所（也称为妇女健康诊所）。该诊所由州卫生部门的计划生育项目管理，由路易斯安那州地区负责

Since the founding of Louisiana STD Research Center (LaSTDRC) nearly two years ago the New Orleans group of investigators learned that centralization of clinical resources including expertise in clinical study design and administration would be a more efficient approach to patient enrollment in clinical research projects. Thus, we are proposing to form a Clinical Core in this CRC application. This core will do the following: A. Enroll patients into CRC clinical protocols from the three primary clinical sites used for STI research in New Orleans: 1. The HIV Outpatient (HOP) Clinic of the Medical Center of Louisiana in New Orleans (MCLNO). 2. The New Orleans Sexually Transmitted Disease (NOSTD) clinic (also known as the Delgado Clinic) which is a component of the city's health department. 3. The Orleans Parish Family Planning (FP) clinic (also known as the Women's Health Clinic). This clinic is administered through the family planning program of the state health department and is the responsibility of Louisiana's Regional Public Health District. B. Assist project leaders in developing protocols that are suitable for the clinical setting in which they are to be carried out. C. Insure that optimal methods are followed to obtain relevant behavioral data from all clinical protocols and assist investigators in the analyses of these data. D. Insure that CRC protocols are carried out in such a way as to interfere the least with normal clinic operations and integrate research personnel into the clinic work flow in such a way that the research protocol actually contributes to the clinics primary mission when possible. E. Act as liaison between CRC project leaders and clinic administration as well as with the public health department or hospital that has ultimate responsibility for the clinic sites where research will be conducted. F. Organize data safety monitoring board (DSMB) meetings as needed.
