NCCU-RCMI Partnership with a Practice-Based Clinical Research Network

NCCU-RCMI与基于实践的临床研究网络合作 摘要：北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）在少数民族大学获得了第一个研究中心。 2017年9月，RCMI拨款建立RCMI健康差异研究中心（RCHDR）。 这个新的RCMI中心专注于生物医学和行为研究，有3个完整的项目，一个研究 基础设施核心（RIC）、研究者发展核心（IDC）和社区参与核心（CEC）。到 为了解决与COVID-19相关的差异，我们利用RIC和CEC能力创建了先进的 COVID-19相关差异中心（雅阁），并开展卫生服务研究和社区 参与解决服务不足的北卡罗来纳州人的疫苗犹豫问题。这样做的目的 行政补充是为了进一步解决普遍存在的差距，重点是临床质量 在为弱势群体提供服务的初级保健实践中取得成果并改进保健提供系统。 我们将扩大我们的RIC能力，通过与当地合作开发临床和翻译单位（CTU）， 联邦合格的健康中心（NHC），林肯社区健康中心（LCHC）在临床领域 research.补充资料将使我们能够评估该中心的可行性、可接受性和所需的基础设施 与LCHC和其他农村社区卫生中心合作，建立一个基于实践的研究网络（PBRN）， 全面运作，作为一个反恐组的NCCU RCMI。这个CTU扩展到NCCU RCMI与我们当地的合作伙伴关系 和其他临床研究中心将提供必要的合作临床研究基础设施和环境， 建立一个由NCCU/LCHC领导的PBRN，进行旨在减少健康差距的研究，研究结果包括 与初级保健临床医生直接相关，易于转化为初级保健实践，可扩展， 可持续发展，造福许多人。

NCCU-RCMI Partnership with a Practice-Based Clinical Research Network Abstract: North Carolina Central University (NCCU) was awarded its first Research Centers at Minority Institutions (RCMI) grant in September 2017 to establish RCMI Center for Health Disparities Research (RCHDR). This new RCMI Center focuses on biomedical and behavioral research with 3 full projects, a Research Infrastructure Core (RIC), Investigator Development Core (IDC) and a Community Engagement Core (CEC). To address COVID-19 related disparities, our RIC and CEC capabilities were leveraged to create the Advanced Center for COVID-19 related Disparities (ACCORD) and conduct health services research and community engagement to address vaccine hesitancy among underserved North Carolinians. The purpose of this administrative supplement is to further address widespread disparities with an emphasis on quality of clinical outcomes and improvement of systems of care delivery in primary care practices serving vulnerable populations. We will extend our RIC capabilities to develop a Clinical and Translational Unit (CTU) by partnering with local federally qualified health center (FQHC), Lincoln Community Health Center (LCHC) in the area of clinical research. The supplement will allow us to assess feasibility, acceptability and infrastructure needed for FQHC partnership with LCHC and other rural FQHCs toward a practice-based research network (PBRN) that will be fully operationalized as a CTU of NCCU RCMI. This CTU expansion to NCCU RCMI in partnership with our local and other FQHCs will provide the necessary collaborative clinical research infrastructure and environment to establish a NCCU/LCHC-led PBRN to conduct research designed to reduce health disparities, with findings of immediate relevance to primary care clinicians, readily translated into primary care practice, and scalable and sustainable for the benefit of many.
