MSM RCMI CLINICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE

通过少数民族机构研究中心(RCMI)临床研究基础设施倡议，请求继续为临床研究中心(CRC)提供支持。莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)的儿童权利公约是该机构开始履行其使命的第一个重要步骤，即在病人护理领域改善未得到充分服务的少数群体的健康。作为一家年轻的机构，MSM认识到临床研究中心发挥了悠久的历史作用，并提高了美国和世界的卫生保健标准。CRC在MSM的存在对教师们产生了巨大的影响，使他们将研究重点放在那些不成比例的美国少数民族和服务不足的人群的健康问题上。这导致了基础科学教师和临床教师在研究工作中更大的合作。它还进一步导致了与哈佛大学医学院、疾病控制中心(CDC)、埃默里大学、佐治亚州立大学、波士顿大学、阿拉巴马大学和富尔顿县卫生与健康部在临床教师培训和/或研究方面的合作。在RCMI的最后四年中，对MSM的CRC临床研究活动的支持从4个增加到27个由公共卫生服务(PHS)资助的临床研究(增加了67%)，其中一些正在审查中。研究中心资助的研究项目由1995至96学年的0项增加至1998至99学年的12项。要求继续提供支持，以帮助MSM继续努力建立临床研究计划，使其在政府和私人基金会的研究支持方面具有竞争力。在这项申请中，我们请求继续为行政和临床核心提供支持，并为卫生保健有效性和结果研究提供额外支持。这将增强我们在多个临床地点支持和协调临床研究的能力。这也将允许CRC协调多个临床地点的额外壁画研究。

Continued support is requested for the Clinical Research Center (CRC) through the Research Center for Minority Institutions (RCMI) clinical research infrastructure initiative. The CRC at the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM)( was the first major step in embarking the institution on fulfilling its mission of improving health of the underserved minority populations in the area of patient care. As a young institution, MSM recognizes the long history that clinical research centers have played in and improving the standards of health care in America and the world. The presence of the CRC at MSM has had great influence upon the faculty to focus research on those health problems that disproportionately minorities and underserved populations of the U.S. This has led to greater collaboration between the basic science faculty and the clinical faculty in research endeavors. It has further led to collaborations for training and/or research of clinical faculty with Harvard University School of Medicine, Center for Disease Control (CDC), Emory University, Georgia State University, Boston University, University of Alabama and Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness. During the last four years of the RCMI, support for the CRC clinical research activity at MSM has increased from 4 to 27 Public Health Service (PHS) funded clinical research oriented studies (67% increase), with a number under review. Research projects supported through the CRC have increased from 0 during 1995 to 96 academic year to 12 in 1998-99. Continued support is requested to aid MSM in continuation of its effort to build a research program in clinical research to make it competitive for research support from government and private foundations. In this application, we are requesting continued support for the Administrative and Clinical Core with additional support of Health Care Effectiveness and Outcome Research. This will enhance our ability to support and coordinate clinical studies at multiple clinical sites. This will also allow the CRC to coordinate extra mural studies at multiple clinical sites.
