RETROVIRUS RESEARCH LEADERSHIP CORE: HIV/AIDS

逆转录病毒研究中心(RRC)是一个促进和促进研究波多黎各艾滋病毒和艾滋病流行的机构。RRC由领导核心和实验室核心组成。此外，它还与数据管理和统计研究支助股(数据管理和统计研究支助股)密切合作，该股管理着4,000多名艾滋病毒感染者的纵向数据库。这在波多黎各被认为是独一无二的，因为它是唯一一家将研究工作与医疗保健提供设施完全整合在一起的医院。RRC的目的是促进艾滋病毒感染的研究成为一个多学科的研究领域，在这个领域中，临床、免疫学、病毒学、心理社会和行为参数需要被整合到一个连贯的研究战略中。该中心聚集了多学科的研究人员，他们对根据生态学观点描述和理解艾滋病毒感染的关键因素感兴趣。研究中心在继续这一患者群体的研究议程方面发挥重要作用，目的是减少艾滋病毒流行病在该岛的传播性质。领导核心通过在产生假设驱动的研究中发挥积极作用，协调和促进艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的智力刺激环境。RRC的这一多学科愿景是对国家卫生研究院的愿景的回应，它们在研究疾病复杂性方面发挥了作用。我们未来五年的目标将包括1.通过规划和激励艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究、科学生产力和假说驱动的研究，为艾滋病毒感染的多方面研究提供支持。2.为艾滋病毒研究活动提供支持。这些资源包括艾滋病毒数据登记处、专门实验室以及血浆和淋巴细胞库。3.与DMSRSU和SRDU协调，为RRC教职员工和研究人员的研究发展事业做出贡献。4.继续支持社区参与研究活动。5.制定战略，成为RCMI独立的艾滋病毒研究中心。

The Retrovirus Research Center (RRC) is a facility that promote and stimulates research addressing the HIV and AIDS epidemic in Puerto Rico. The RRC is composed of a Leadership Core and a Laboratory Core. In addition it works intimately with the Data Management and Statistical Research Support Unit (DMSRSU), which manages a longitudinal database of over 4,000 patients with HIV infection. It's considered unique in Puerto Rico since it is the only one in which full Integration of the research effort with the health care delivery facility is In place. The aim of the RRC Is to promote the study of HIV- Infection as a multidisciplinary research arena In which the clinical, immunological, virological, psychosocial and behavioral parameters need to be integrated Into a coherent research strategy. The center agglutinates multidisciplinary researchers Interesting In describing and understanding key elements of HIV infection according to an ecological view. The RRC has an important role In continuing the research agenda with this patient population with the goal of diminishing the spreading nature of the HIV epidemic In the Island. The Leadership Core coordinates and facilitates an Intellectually stimulating environment for HIV/AIDS research by playing a proactive role In generating hypothesis-driven studies. This multidisciplinary vision of the RRC is responsive to the vision of the National Institutes of Health their role of studying the complexity of diseases. Our objectives for the next five years will Include 1. Provide the support for the study of the multidimensional aspects of HIV Infection, by planning and stimulating HIV/AIDS research, scientific productivity and hypothesis driven studies. 2. Provide support for HIV research activities. The resources Include the HIV Data Registry, the specialized laboratory and the plasma and lymphocyte repository. 3. Contribute to the research development career of the RRC faculty members and research staff in coordination with the DMSRSU and the SRDU. 4. Continue to provide support for community Involvement In research activities. 5. Develop strategies to become a RCMI Independent HIV Research Center.
