HEALTH DISPARITIES RESEARCH PROGRAM: ADMINISTRATIVE COMPONENT-AIDS PROGRAM

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。关于艾滋病-UPRMSC RCMI方案过去五年的目标是继续发展研究，重点是发展强大的基础设施，以便就波多黎各人口的健康差距进行研究。解决这一目标的研究方法从分子水平到临床水平不等。具体目标是：1）发展基础设施，并提供支持服务，以促进与健康差距相关的研究的进行; 2）针对与健康差距相关的研究的特定领域，并为校园内的这些研究活动提供一个协调中心;和3）促进研究教师和技术人员在这一领域工作的专业发展。为了实现这些目标，建议建立健康差异研究计划。该计划有三个组成部分：1）研究资源部，包括在分子遗传学，信息架构和图像分析领域提供研究支持服务的所有活动; 2）研究发展司将支持研究活动，解决人口中的健康差距，如艾滋病、妇女健康（乳腺癌、骨质疏松症）、新发传染病和血液病; 3）和研究促进司将提供机会，加强研究技能，获得生物统计学，流行病学和科学编辑方面的专业服务，奖励榜样，保护和商业化的想法，并访问研究相关的数据库。RCMI方案的第四个周期对保持我们迄今取得的进展至关重要，并通过重点关注影响波多黎各人口的健康差距，使我们取得更大的成就。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Regarding AIDS--The goal of the UPRMSC RCMI Program for the previous five years is to continue the development of research by focusing on the development of a strong infrastructure for conducting research related to health disparities in the Puerto Rican population. Research approaches to address this goal ranged from the molecular to clinical level. The Specific Aims were to: 1) develop infrastructure and provide support services to facilitate the conduct of research related to health disparities; 2) target specific areas of research related to health disparities and provide a focal point for these research activities on Campus; and 3) promote the professional development of the research faculty and technical personnel working in this area. To achieve these objectives, it is proposed to establish the Health Disparities Research Program. The Program has three components: 1) a Division of Research Resources, which will include all activities that provide research support services in the areas of molecular genetics, information architecture, and image analysis; 2) a Division of Research Development will support research activities addressing health disparities in the population such as AIDS, women's health (breast cancer, osteoporosis), emerging infectious diseases, and blood disorders; 3) and the Division of Advancement in Research will provide opportunities for strengthening research skills, obtaining specialized services on biostatistics, epidemiology and scientific editing, rewarding role models, protecting and commercializing ideas, and accessing research-related databases. The fourth cycle of the RCMI Program was critical to the preservation of the progress which has been made us far, and in permitting still greater levels of achievements by focusing on the health disparities that affect the Puerto Rican population.
