DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Rhode Island (URI), the state's flagship public research university, received $86 million in sponsored program awards in FY 2009. Approximately 80% of this research was federally funded, with approximately 32%, or $22 million, focused on biomedical and bio-behavioral research. A significant portion was for behavior change research, such as smoking cessation, weight management and medication adherence. URI is moving forward on a quarter-billion dollar master plan for health science infrastructure investment in the Health Sciences Quadrangle campus. This Health Sciences North District includes the Chafee Social Science Center, the Social Science Research Center, Nursing, the new Biotechnology and Life Sciences Building, and soon to be constructed buildings for Pharmacy and Chemistry. The subject of this proposal is a centralized behavior change research facility (BCRF) to be developed through renovation of space that is at the center of the Health Sciences district. This facility will integrate four fragmented services: Quantitative and Methodology, Intervention and Training, Telemetrics and Telecommunications, and Survey and Outreach into a full service facility that can provide collaboration and consultation from initial research and behavior change intervention design and outreach and recruitment to treatment training and delivery to quantitative analyses of outcomes. The BCRF will support current research and enhance the development of future PHS-funded research projects in our internationally recognized behavior change research programs. Behavioral research at URI is dedicated to changing single and multiple behaviors to prevent and manage a broad range of chronic diseases. The AARA funds will support 12 FTEs in a state suffering the second worst economy in the nation. This investment in a centralized BCRF will advance URI's bio-behavior change research programs that impact on behaviors that account for about 60% of total health care costs, thus contributing substantially to innovation in enhancing health while controlling health care costs and to Rhode Island's science- and technology-based economy.

描述（由申请人提供）：罗德岛大学（URI）是该州的旗舰公立研究型大学，在2009财年获得了8600万美元的赞助计划奖励。大约80%的研究是由联邦政府资助的，其中大约32%，即2200万美元，主要用于生物医学和生物行为研究。很大一部分用于行为改变研究，如戒烟、体重管理和药物依从性。URI正在推进一项2.5亿美元的健康科学基础设施总体规划，投资于健康科学四合院校园。健康科学北区包括Chafee社会科学中心、社会科学研究中心、护理、新的生物技术和生命科学大楼，以及即将建成的药学和化学大楼。该提案的主题是一个集中的行为改变研究设施（BCRF），将通过对健康科学区中心空间的改造来开发。该设施将整合四项分散的服务：定量和方法论、干预和培训、遥测和电信、调查和外展，形成一个全面的服务设施，可以提供合作和咨询，从最初的研究和行为改变干预设计、外展和招聘到治疗培训和交付，再到结果的定量分析。BCRF将支持当前的研究，并在我们国际公认的行为改变研究项目中加强phs资助的未来研究项目的发展。URI的行为研究致力于改变单一和多种行为，以预防和管理广泛的慢性疾病。AARA的资金将支持该州的12名全职员工，该州的经济状况位居全国第二。这项对集中BCRF的投资将推进URI的生物行为改变研究项目，该项目对占医疗保健总成本约60%的行为产生影响，从而为在控制医疗保健成本的同时提高健康水平的创新和罗德岛以科技为基础的经济做出重大贡献。
