UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS)

描述（由申请人提供）：为了支持创新的，跨T1-T4谱的跨学科研究，以改善人类健康和医疗保健服务，UAB临床和转化科学中心（CCTS）创建了一个充满活力的研究环境，促进团队研究科学方法。作为“研究者的声音”和“参与者的倡导者”，CCTS在塑造机构研究计划方面的领导作用对于我们推动持续改进研究环境的能力至关重要，这将加速发现、开发和知识的传递。我们意识到签约的机会和集体的协同作用，我们已经组建了一个合作伙伴网络，以提供跨机构边界的互利。我们致力于通过我们的网络教育和发展我们的学员、教师和学习者社区。为此，CCTS在一个综合之家内协调其项目和服务，将：1)代表我们的社区提供愿景和领导，倡导改善临床和转化研究环境；2)通过内部和外部合作伙伴关系扩大我们的研究能力，推广最佳实践，确定协同效应和效率机会；3)提供一个强大的临床生态系统，包括对人类受试者研究的安全和道德行为负责的文化；4)在提供世界一流的资讯资源以促进研究、医疗保健和教育时，采用高标准的资料保安；5)通过我们的研究共享资源支持转化科学领域的创新研究、新方法和团队方法；6)通过良好的资源管理确保可持续发展。我们的愿景是加速整个转化研究领域的发现，以改善人类健康。我们的策略包括改善我们的机构研究环境，通过伙伴关系扩大我们的研究能力，提高我们教师的专业知识和技能，并通过良好的资源管理和责任确保可持续发展。我们看到了跨越传统学科和机构界限的机会，不仅可以实现专业知识的协同，而且可以提高效率而不重复。我们还看到，有机会与本区域的人口流行病学合作，解决关键的保健问题，制定和实施最佳办法和最佳做法，以推进我们改善人类健康的集体使命。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To support innovative, transdisciplinary research across the T1-T4 spectrum in order to improve human health and health care delivery, the UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) has created a vibrant research environment fostering team approaches to science. As 'voice of the investigator' and 'advocate for the participant,' the role of CCTS leadership in shaping the institution's research initiativesis central to our ability to drive ongoing improvements in the research environment that will accelerate discovery, development and delivery of knowledge. Realizing signature opportunities as well as collective synergy, we have assembled a Partner Network to provide mutual benefit across institutional boundaries. We are committed to the education and development of our trainees, faculty and community of learners throughout our Network. To these ends, the CCTS has coordinated its programs and services within an integrated Home that will: 1) provide vision and leadership to advocate for improvements in the clinical and translational research environment on behalf of our communities; 2) expand our research capacity through internal and external partnerships, extending best practices and identifying synergies and opportunities for efficiency; 3) offer a robust clinical ecosystem embracing a culture of responsibility for the safe and ethical conduct of human subjects research; 4) embrace high standards for data security in the provision of world class informatics resources enabling research, health care and education; 5) support innovative research, novel methodologies, and team approaches in translational science through our Research Commons; and 6) ensure sustainability through good stewardship of resources. Our vision is to accelerate discovery across the entire spectrum of translational research to improve human health. Our strategy involves improving our institutional research environments, expanding our research capacity through partnerships, enhancing the expertise and skills of our faculty, and ensuring sustainability through good stewardship of resources and responsibility. We see opportunity by cutting across traditional disciplines and institutional boundaries not only for synergy of expertise but also for efficiency without duplication. We also see opportunity in working with the population epidemiology of our region to address key health care issues to develop and implement optimal approaches and best practices to advance our collective mission of improving human health.
