Institutional CTSA Planning Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：佛罗里达大学（UF）拥有非常丰富的学院环境，最先进的实验室和临床研究设施，多学科研究中心和研究所以及杰出的教师队伍。这些资源独特地定位UF在机构的最前沿，以培养下一代临床和转化研究人员和多学科研究团队的领导者。UF已经进行了大量的投资，专门用于实现这一目标。此外，为了直接响应临床和转化科学奖路线图倡议，它承诺提供大量新的空间、人员和课程，并计划对其传统的报告、研究和培训业务进行重大改组，以创建一个跨机构的综合卫生科学中心。该中心将为佛罗里达大学的临床和转化研究和培训提供新的智力家园，整合和协同11个学院，5个研究所，19个中心，11家医院，众多门诊诊所和佛罗里达州67个县的科学和教育活动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Florida (UF) has an exceptionally rich environment of colleges, state of the art laboratory and clinical research facilities, multidisciplinary research centers and institutes and a distinguished faculty. These resources uniquely position UF at the forefront of institutions to train the next generation of clinical and translational investigators and leaders of multidisciplinary research teams. UF has already made considerable investments dedicated exclusively to accomplish this goal. Furthermore, in direct response to the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Roadmap initiative, it is committed to providing substantial new space, personnel and curricula and plans to undertake significant restructuring of its traditional reporting, research and training operations to create a trans-institutional Center for Integrated Health Sciences (CIHS). This Center would provide the new intellectual home for clinical and translational research and training at UF, integrating and synergizing the scientific and educational activities of 11 colleges, 5 institutes, 19 centers, 11 hospitals, numerous outpatient clinics and the 67counties in the State of Florida. Accordingly, this Planning Grant proposal sets forth the following specific aims to be accomplished in the design of an Institutional CTSA program: Specific Aim 1: Create a planning structure through which individuals from diverse disciplines can interact, needed research resources, services and technologies can be identified and developed and local and regional barriers to collaborative research can be addressed. Specific Aim 2: Increase trainee participation in educational and research activities across the preclinical-community practice continuum. Specific Aim 3: Establish the principal scientific and training strengths on which a successful CTSA application will be built and define the innovative and transforming elements to be derived from an established CIHS.
