Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute

迈阿密临床和翻译科学研究所(CTSI)于2012年作为CTSA资助，是迈阿密的 跨学科临床和转化(C/T)研究、创新和培训的学术中心。我们的使命 是加快科学发现，使其成为改善健康的干预措施，重点是少数群体。 我们成功战略的基石是持续支持充满活力的文化合作伙伴关系 健康科学-调整我们的研究，使其在文化上与不同的利益相关者社区保持一致 我们的合作伙伴包括C/T研究、研究培训，以及重要的研究翻译。在一个地区， 超过88%的种族/少数民族，我们已经修改了研究方法，以更好地适应文化，语言， 识字率和与我们合作的群体的规范，并从根本上改变了研究工具和方法 为了更准确地捕捉对C/T研究方方面面都有很大影响的文化复杂性。我们已经投资了 大量投入新的研究设施和IT/信息学，包括临床数据仓库和我们的 计算科学-美国最大的集中式学术网络基础设施之一。至 为了发展我们的员工队伍，我们彻底改变了我们的临床研究专业框架，并启动了 为包括社区卫生工作者在内的所有研究利益相关方提供广泛的指导计划。放贷 社区声音研究和扩展我们的枢纽超越我们的传统围墙，我们的CTSI帮助创建了 拥有数据信托和全州城乡医疗保健网络的One佛罗里达临床研究联盟 服务提供者和佛罗里达州近1100万不同的患者。作为CTSA网络的创新者，我们 参与了财团范围内活动的共同领导，包括加强临床研究 专业人员培训和资格补充奖，并作为i-Corps™在NCATS的试点站点 程序。 为CTSA 2.0定位良好，我们的总体具体目标是：(1)提供教育、培训、职业 开发和指导，以提高我们的C/T研究人员的研究能力；(2)促进C/T 通过伙伴关系和吸引不同利益攸关方参与的创新方法进行研究；(3)整合 学科和翻译阶段，以加快发现，造福于不同人群的健康和 整个生命周期中的个人；(4)确保研究过程加快进行研究并增加我们的 理解翻译科学的发展原则；(5)管理信息学的动态课程 以及计算功能、培训、咨询和开发，供研究人员有效使用 技术来推进他们的研究。

Funded as a CTSA in 2012, the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) serves as Miami’s academic Hub for interdisciplinary clinical and translational (C/T) research, innovation, and training. Our mission is to accelerate scientific discoveries into interventions that improve health, with a focus on minority populations. The cornerstone of our successful strategy is the sustained support of dynamic partnerships in culturalizing health science—adapting our research to be culturally congruent with diverse stake-holder communities with whom we partner in C/T research, research training, and, importantly, research translation. In a region that is over 88% racial/ethnic minorities, we have modified research techniques to better suit the culture, language, literacy, and norms of groups with whom we work and have fundamentally changed research tools and methods to more precisely capture cultural complexity that greatly affects all aspects of C/T research. We have invested heavily in new research facilities and IT/informatics, including a clinical data warehouse and our Center for Computational Science – one of the largest centralized academic cyber infrastructures in the United States. To develop our workforce, we completely revamped our Clinical Research Professional framework and initiated extensive mentorship programs for all research stakeholders, including Community Health Workers. To lend community voice to research and expand our Hub beyond our traditional walls, our CTSI helped create the OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium with a data trust and statewide network of urban and rural health care providers and nearly 11M diverse patients across Florida. And as an innovator in the CTSA Network, we participated in shared leadership of consortium-wide activities including the Enhancing Clinical Research Professionals’ Training & Qualifications Supplement Award, and as a pilot site for the i-Corps™ at NCATS program. Well-positioned for CTSA 2.0, our Overall Specific Aims are to: (1) Provide education, training, career development, and mentoring to enhance research excellence in our C/T research workforce; (2) Advance C/T research through partnerships and innovative methods of engaging diverse stakeholders; (3) Integrate disciplines and translational phases to accelerate discovery that benefits the health of diverse populations and individuals across the lifespan; (4) Ensure research processes expedite the conduct of research and add to our understanding of the principles of advancing translational science; (5) Manage a dynamic program of informatics and computational functionality, training, consultation, and development for researchers to effectively use technology to advance their research.
