Core 2 - Osteopathic Core

与骨科手法医学研究发展中心（DCR-OMM）相关的每一个拟议的研究项目都有自己的科学价值，每个项目都有一个独立的研究团队，能够完成拟议的研究计划。然而，为了优化每个项目的效率和价值，很明显，研究团队必须在四个R-21项目之间有效地沟通。这对于本研究中与整骨手法医学（OMM）临床应用相关的独特整骨成分尤其如此。将建立一个骨科核心（O-Core），以提高每个R-21个体的研究效率

Each of the tour proposed research projects associated with this Developmental Center for Research in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (DCR-OMM) stands on its own scientific merit and each has an independent team of investigators capable of completing their research plans as proposed. However, in order to optimize the efficiency and value of each project, it is clear that the research teams must effectively communicate across the four R-21 projects. This is especially true for the uniquely osteopathic components of this research that relates to the clinical application of the osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). An Osteopathic Core (O-Core) will be established to enhance the research productivity of each individual R-21 project and that of the DCR-OMM as a whole. The O-Core is comprised of all of the osteopathic physicians who are listed as either PI or Co-I on each of the component R-21 projects of this DCR-OMM plus five other osteopathic physicians. The Director of the O-Core will represent the O-Core at the Internal Steering Committee meetings. The specific aims of the Osteopathic Core include: 1. Guide the DCR-OMM research to maintain focus on mechanisms of actions of OMM that are clinically relevant. 2. Enhance communication and synergy across the entire DCR-OMM and its component R-21 research projects. 3. Link the DCR-OMM to established local and national resources of OMM research expertise. 4. Ensure substantial involvement for OMM clinicians in present and future research planning. Regular communication between osteopathic physicians participating in the O-Core will help enhance the overall osteopathic relevance and synergy of this DCR-OMM. This O-Core is needed to ensure that all research projects maintain maximum focus on evaluating the mechanisms by which OMM has its clinical effects.
