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

NCCU-RCMI与以实践为基础的临床研究网络合作 摘要：北卡罗来纳中央大学(NCCU)荣获首批少数民族研究中心 各机构(RCMI)于2017年9月拨款成立RCMI健康差距研究中心(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)、调查员开发核心(IDC)和社区参与核心(CEC)。至 解决与新冠肺炎相关的差距，我们的RIC和CEC能力被利用来创建先进的 新冠肺炎相关差异中心(ACCORD)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对疫苗的犹豫不决。这样做的目的是 行政补充是进一步解决广泛存在的差距，强调临床质量 在为弱势人口服务的初级保健做法中取得的成果和改进的保健提供系统。 我们将通过与当地合作伙伴合作，扩展我们的RIC能力，开发临床和翻译单位(CTU) 联邦合格卫生中心(FQHC)、林肯社区卫生中心(LCHC)在临床领域 研究。该补充资料将使我们能够评估FQHC的可行性、可接受性和所需的基础设施 与LCHC和其他农村FQHC合作，建立以实践为基础的研究网络(PBRN)，这将是 作为NCCU RCMI的CTU全面运作。CTU扩展到NCCU RCMI与我们当地的合作伙伴 和其他FQHC将提供必要的协作临床研究基础设施和环境，以 建立一个由NCCU/LCHC领导的PBRN，进行旨在减少健康差距的研究，结果是 与初级保健临床医生直接相关，易于转化为初级保健实践，并且可扩展和 可持续的，造福于许多人。

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.
