研究核心 A.研究核心的总体目标和目标 这个核心的总体意图是提供所需的研究基础设施来支持我们的计划 目标有三个方面： ？进行原创性和创新性的基础实验室、行为、临床和人群研究 旨在消除与糖尿病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的健康差距，以及 高血压/心血管疾病； ？将卫生服务研究成果转化为温斯顿-塞勒姆相当大的改善 少数民族人口与12县山前三合会地区人口 社区伙伴关系；以及 ？为本科生/研究生和初级教员创造新的培训机会 对少数群体健康或健康差距的研究兴趣。 这些目标意义重大，将是我们方案和机构努力的主要重点 消除我们社区的健康差距。我们的生物医学研究中心由研究支持 少数民族机构基础设施(RIMI)和其他研究支持方案在以下方面非常有帮助 为教师发展提供研究培训场所，并为学生提供进入 研究生课程。例如，从事生物医学、行为、临床、 旨在消除健康差距的基于人口的研究从2000年的平均6项增加到 卫生相关科室从2000年到2006年的25名教研员。同样，研究生入学人数 WSSU的少数族裔毕业生在生物医学或医学专业的医学、牙科和博士课程中人数不足 行为科学从118名生物医学/心理学毕业生中的8名增加了一倍多 1999年和2000年(占少数族裔毕业生总数的7%)至179名这些系毕业生中的18名 (占少数族裔毕业生总数的10%)。在2005-2006学年， 大约7个与少数群体健康有关的正在进行的不同生物医学研究项目，总成本适中 180万美元的外部资金。美国国立卫生研究院的资助金额超过170万美元(占 该年的外部资金总额)。因此，WSSU的研究环境很好，意义重大。 鉴于我们的学生人口规模，培训少数民族学生的机会是存在的。热切的、忠诚的 此应用程序中这些项目背后的团队能够提供强大的研究-培训环境 这将继续服务于WSSU的学生和更大的研究社区的需求。

RESEARCH CORE A. OVERALL GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH CORE The overall intent of this core is to provide the required research infrastructure to support our program objectives that are threefold: ¿ to conduct original and innovative basic laboratory, behavioral, clinical, and population-based research aimed at eliminating health disparities as they relate to diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and hypertension/cardiovascular disease; ¿ to translate health services research outcomes into improvements for the Winston-Salem's sizeable minority population and the 12 county Piedmont Triad region's population by leveraging WSSU's longstanding community partnerships; and ¿ to create new training opportunities for undergraduate/graduate students and junior faculty to pursue research interests in minority health or health disparities. These objectives are significant and will be the main focus of our programmatic and institutional efforts to eliminate health disparity in our community. Our Biomedical Research Center supported by Research Infrastructure in Minority Institution (RIMI) and other research support programs have been quite helpful in providing a research training ground for faculty development as well as for students to matriculate into leading graduate programs. For example, the number of faculty members engaged in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and population-based research aimed at eliminating health disparities has increased from an average of six in health-related departments in 2000 to 25 faculty researchers in 2006. Likewise, post-graduate enrollment of under-represented minority graduates of WSSU in medical, dental and PhD programs in biomedical or behavioral sciences has more than doubled, from 8 of 118 graduates from the biomedical / psychology departments in 1999 and 2000 (7% of total minority graduates) to 18 of 179 graduates from those departments (10% of total minority graduates) in the past three years. In the academic year 2005-2006, there were approximately 7 different ongoing biomedical research projects related to minority health for a modest total cost of $1.8 million extramural funding. The amount of NIH funding was over $1.7 million (representing 93% of the total extramural funding for that year). Thus, the environment for research at WSSU is good and significant opportunities exist for training minority students given the size of our student population. The eager, committed team behind these projects in this application is capable of providing a strong research-training environment that will continue to serve the needs of students at WSSU and the larger research community.
