建立在VCU C.Kenneth和Dianne Wright临床和翻译研究中心及其 莱特临床与翻译科学区域中心(莱特区域CCTS) 是一个合作机构的合作伙伴，服务于弗吉尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州的地区，包括东部 弗吉尼亚医学院，弗吉尼亚州诺福克的一所以社区为重点的医学院，拥有强大的社区 从事低收入住房研究计划；Old Dominion大学，一所多元化的公立大学 弗吉尼亚州诺福克，在生物医学数据的机器学习和人工智能技术方面具有优势；弗吉尼亚州 联邦大学是弗吉尼亚州里士满的一所公立大学，自2010年以来一直是CTSA的中心， 在社区参与研究方面有优势；弗吉尼亚州立大学，历史上的黑人学院和 拥有促进劳动力多元化的专业知识的大学。 莱特地区CCTS的总体目标是通过积极推动卫生公平 参与不同的社区，培训不同的研究人员，并支持快速 与我们的合作伙伴和合作者一起实施创新的临床和转化科学(CTS) 在整个CTSA计划中。 这将通过以下具体目标来实现： 目标1：加强翻译研究队伍发展，重点放在多样性上，最终 加强不同患者群体对临床研究的招募。 目标2：使用健康结果数据开发工具和方法来记录健康差异 在社区内取得成果，以支持实现卫生公平的目标。 目标3：促进方案审查和监督，以提高临床研究的质量，减少 监管审批的时间表。 目标4：跨合作伙伴和协作机构合作，使用信息学数据和工具 促进高影响力临床研究数据的互操作性。 目标5：在我们现有的社区参与和远程医疗基础设施的基础上加强招聘 将难以触及的低收入和农村患者人群纳入临床研究。 影响：莱特地区CCTS将利用我们在社区参与研究方面的优势来支持 创新的转化科学工具，与我们的合作伙伴和社区合作，解决卫生公平问题。 我们将增强我们翻译研究人员的多样性和农村影响力，延长协议审查 和监督流程，以提高临床研究的质量和效率，开发创新方法 努力让低收入和农村患者群体参与临床研究，并传播和 在我们的社区和整个CTSA网络中实施成功的CTS计划。

Building on the VCU C. Kenneth and Dianne Wright Center for Clinical and Translational Research and its research endowment, the Wright Regional Center for Clinical and Translational Science (Wright Regional CCTS) is a collaboration of partner institutions that serves regions of Virginia and North Carolina, including Eastern Virginia Medical School, a community focused medical school in Norfolk, Virginia with a strong community engaged research program in low income housing; Old Dominion University, a diverse public university in Norfolk Virginia with strengths in machine learning and AI techniques for biomedical data; Virginia Commonwealth University, a public university in Richmond, Virginia which has been a CTSA hub since 2010, with strengths in community engaged research; and Virginia State University, a Historically Black College and University with expertise to advance workforce diversity. The Overall Objective of the Wright Regional CCTS is to advance health equity through actively engaging diverse communities, training a diverse research workforce, and supporting the rapid implementation of innovative clinical and translational science (CTS) with our partners and collaborators and throughout the CTSA program. This will be carried out though the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: Enhance translational research workforce development with a focus on diversity to ultimately enhance recruitment of diverse patient populations into clinical research. Aim 2: Use health outcomes data to develop tools and methods to document differences in health outcomes within the community to support the goal of achieving health equity. Aim 3: Promote protocol review and oversight to enhance the quality of clinical research and reduce the timeline for regulatory approval. Aim 4: Work together across partner and collaborator institutions to use informatics data and tools to promote interoperability of data for high impact clinical research. Aim 5: Build on our existing community engagement and telehealth infrastructure to enhance recruitment of hard-to-reach low income and rural patient populations into clinical research. Impact: The Wright Regional CCTS will build on our strengths in community engaged research to support innovative translational science tools to address health equity in collaboration with our partners and community. We will enhance the diversity and rural impact of our translational research workforce, extend protocol review and oversight processes to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical research, develop innovative methods to engaged hard to reach low-income and rural patient populations in clinical research, and disseminate and implement successful CTS programs in our community and across the CTSA network.
