ABSTRACT The University of Houston (UH) has approximately 400 faculty (~150 from communities underrepresented in the health sciences) conducting health-related research. These faculty span 12 Colleges and 28 academic units. This recent environmental scan suggests (1) there is a natural wellspring of scientists from a broad range of health disciplines that can leverage the Research Infrastructure Core (RIC) to advance their research; and (2) there is a tremendous opportunity to engage more scientists in innovative health-equity science that can discover novel solutions to disparities in addictions and cancer prevention afflicting our underserved and marginalized communities in Houston and beyond. The RIC will be executed by experienced scientists that are passionate about health-equity science. Ultimately, the proposed RCMI is uniquely situated to aggressively launch a centralized RIC capable of actualizing four specific aims: Aim 1. Execute a centralized research infrastructure that will enhance the scientific rigor, productivity, and impact of addictions and cancer prevention research at UH. Plan: Deliver state-of-the-art core services in the areas of (1) Research Methodology; (2) Laboratory Techniques and Facilities; (3) Data Management and Biostatistics; (4) Health Informatics; and (5) Responsible Conduct of Research, Ethics, and Compliance in health-disparities research; Aim 2. Develop an intellectual incubator that generates transdisciplinary research teams linking investigators underrepresented in the health sciences with established investigators at UH. Plan: Execute a comprehensive marketing plan that targets and encourages University leadership, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows to leverage RIC services to advance their science while taking the opportunity to build new transdisciplinary research teams that pursue novel solutions to complex health challenges; Aim 3. Provide dynamic core services for RCMI scientists that are cost-effective, accessible, efficient, and with excellent customer service. Plan: Execute a user-friendly electronic ticketing and tracking system that will monitor service utilization and satisfaction in real-time, while also informing the data-driven redistribution of resources to maximize end-user needs and demonstrate a substantial return-on-investment; Aim 4. Pursue collaborations that minimize University duplication of resources and build bridges with local and national exemplars. Plan: Work with the Directors of the local and national exemplars to engage in a shared vision that advances health-equity science. Ultimately, large-scale innovative research that has strong scientific rigor, transparency, and reproducibility cannot be fully actualized without an efficient state-of-the-art research infrastructure.

抽象的 休斯顿大学 (UH) 拥有大约 400 名教职人员（约 150 名来自社区） 在健康科学领域代表性不足）进行与健康相关的研究。这些教师涵盖 12 学院和28个学术单位。最近的环境扫描表明 (1) 存在天然源泉 来自广泛健康学科的科学家可以利用研究基础设施核心 (RIC) 推进他们的研究； (2) 有巨大的机会让更多科学家参与创新 健康公平科学可以发现解决成瘾和癌症预防差异的新方法 困扰着休斯顿及其他地区服务不足和边缘化的社区。 RIC 将由 热衷于健康公平科学的经验丰富的科学家。最终，拟议的 RCMI 是 其独特的优势在于积极推出集中式 RIC，能够实现四个具体目标：目标 1。 建立一个集中的研究基础设施，以提高科学严谨性、生产力、 以及呃成瘾和癌症预防研究的影响。计划：提供最先进的核心服务 (1) 研究方法论； （二）实验室技术和设施； (3) 数据管理和 生物统计学； (4)健康信息学； (5) 负责任的研究行为、道德和合规性 健康差异研究；目标 2. 开发一个能够产生跨学科知识的孵化器 研究团队将健康科学领域代表性不足的研究人员与成熟的研究人员联系起来 在呃。计划：执行一项全面的营销计划，以并鼓励大学领导力， 教师和博士后研究员利用 RIC 服务来推进他们的科学发展，同时抓住机会 建立新的跨学科研究团队，寻求针对复杂健康挑战的新颖解决方案；目标3。 为 RCMI 科学家提供具有成本效益、易于获取、高效且具有成本效益的动态核心服务 优秀的客户服务。计划：执行一个用户友好的电子票务和跟踪系统，该系统将 实时监控服务利用率和满意度，同时还通知数据驱动的重新分配 最大限度地提高最终用户需求并展示可观的投资回报的资源；目标 4. 追求 最大限度地减少大学资源重复并与地方和国家建立桥梁的合作 榜样。计划：与地方和国家典范的董事合作，实现共同愿景， 推进健康公平科学。最终，具有强大科学严谨性的大规模创新研究， 如果没有有效的、最先进的研究，透明度和可重复性就无法完全实现 基础设施。
