Development of Office of Research& Sponsored Programs at Texas Woman's University

项目总结/摘要 这个拟议的布拉德奖项目的目的是消除发展的主要障碍， 德克萨斯女子大学（TWU）达拉斯健康科学研究所的重要临床研究路线 中心（IHS-Dallas）与周围医学界的其他医学研究人员合作。 目前，没有研究和赞助计划办公室（ORSP）和服务的存在 由IHS-达拉斯的这个办公室提供的是教师建立生产线研究的障碍。的 实现本项目具体目标的直接效果将是提高教师的研究生产力， TWU IHS-达拉斯，并增加与周边机构的研究合作，如大学 德克萨斯州（UT）西南医学中心。这些合作将导致临床研究， 有可能改善德克萨斯州和全国人民的健康状况。增加的一代 我们预计，为实现本项目的具体目标， 在达拉斯的TWU IHS持续研究生产力的文化。我们预计， 建议将是外部赠款支持沿着机构支持，以维持ORSP人员的资金 超越了布拉德奖多年来的资助。建议的项目大致涉及两个主要目的：1） 在TWU IHS--达拉斯开发一个ORSP，为教师提供领导和支持， 规划，开发和执行外部资助的跨学科研究，以及2）促进 在达拉斯的TWU IHS研究生产力文化是可持续的。拟议的项目将使 在达拉斯校区提供的奖前服务，并提供一个联络，以提供服务的主要 在丹顿的校园，不能有效地复制在达拉斯。拟议的布拉德项目将解决差距 在达拉斯的TWU IHS现有的研究支持中。循证干预和培训 为解决这些差距而提出的方法包括支持现场ORSP，并配备训练有素的人员， IHS达拉斯，培训教师，并形成跨学科的赠款团队。此外，我们建议 与周围UT西南医学中心的研究人员开展合作。我们的导师 提议的布拉德项目是UT西南医学中心的研究副院长。在 除了提供研究管理方面的专业知识外，我们的导师还将协助校外助理， 确定TWU教师和UT西南教师和临床医生之间的共同研究兴趣， 促进多中心协作。

Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of this proposed BRAD award project is to remove the primary barriers to the development of important lines of clinical research at the Texas Woman's University (TWU) Institute of Health Sciences-Dallas Center (IHS-Dallas) in collaboration with other medical researchers in the surrounding medical community. Currently, not having the presence of an Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) and the services provided by this office at the IHS- Dallas is a barrier to establishing productive lines of research by faculty. The direct effect of achieving the specific aims for this project will be enhanced research productivity by faculty at the TWU IHS-Dallas, and increased research collaboration with surrounding institutions such as University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center. These collaborations will result in clinical research that has great potential to improve the health of the people in the state of Texas and the nation. The increased generation of external funds that we anticipate as a result of achieving the specific aims for this project would promote a culture of sustained research productivity at the TWU IHS--Dallas. We anticipate that an outcome of this proposal will be external grant support along with institutional support to sustain funding of ORSP personnel beyond the years of funding by the BRAD award. The proposed project broadly addresses 2 major purposes: 1) Developing an ORSP at the TWU IHS--Dallas that will provide leadership and support to faculty for successful planning, development, and execution of externally funded interdisciplinary research, and 2) Promoting a culture of research productivity at the TWU IHS--Dallas that is sustainable. The proposed project will make pre-award services available on the Dallas campus and provide a liaison to services available on the main campus in Denton that cannot be efficiently duplicated in Dallas. The proposed BRAD project will address gaps in existing research support at the TWU IHS--Dallas. Evidence-based interventions and training methodologies proposed to address these gaps include support for an on-site ORSP with trained personnel at the IHS-Dallas, training for faculty, and formation of interdisciplinary grant teams. Additionally, we propose to develop collaborations with researchers in the surrounding UT Southwestern Medical Center. Our mentor for the proposed BRAD project is the Associate Dean for Research at the UT Southwestern Medical Center. In addition to providing expertise in research administration, our mentor will assist the Extramural Associate in identifying common research interests between TWU faculty and UT Southwestern faculty and clinicians to facilitate multicenter collaboration.
