Research Training Core

研究培训/教育核心将在我国首都健康差距英才中心为少数群体的健康和健康差距研究、教育和培训提供一个单一的综合之家。该中心提供的服务将涵盖乔治敦大学(GU)和霍华德大学(HU)现有的教育和培训项目，以及CEHD将开发的新项目。 背景 显然需要增加受过必要培训的临床调查人员的人数，以进行有关诊断和治疗影响城市少数群体和贫困人口的疾病的研究。顾、胡和CEHD的其他合作者提供了哥伦比亚特区(DC)的大部分机构医疗、神经学、精神病学、高危产科和康复医学护理；卫生专业的研究生教育；以及临床培训。因此，这些机构拥有广泛的渠道和与区议会社区的紧密联系，从而促进了跨学科培训和临床研究的机会。每个机构都为CEHD带来了互补的优势和利益，并将加强努力，招募代表性不足的少数族裔、妇女和残疾人参加临床研究培训。CEHD的研究培训和教育将通过GU和HU强大的翻译和基础科学计划得到加强，特别是在临床和基础药理学、神经科学、癌症、分子遗传学、酒精中毒和药物滥用以及药物发现方面。MedStar Health在设计和协调大型多中心观察性研究、干预试验和社区参与性研究方面具有优势，特别是在糖尿病和心血管疾病方面，以及专注于残疾、康复和急性后护理的研究。

The Research Training/Education Core will provide a single integrated home for minority health and health disparities research education and training in the Center of Excellence for Health Disparities in our Nation's Capital (CEHD). The core's offerings will span the existing education and training programs at Georgetown University (GU) and Howard University (HU) and the new programs that the CEHD will develop. BACKGROUND A clear need exists to increase the number of clinical investigators who have the training necessary to conduct research in diagnosing and treating diseases that affect urban minority and poor populations. GU, HU, and the other CEHD collaborators provide most of the institutional medical, neurologic, psychiatric, high-risk obstetric,and rehabilitation medicine care; health professions' graduate education; and clinical training in the District of Columbia (DC). Thus, these institutions possess broad access to and strong ties with the DC community that facilitate for cross-disciplinary training and opportunities for clinical investigation. Each institution brings complementary strengths and interests to the CEHD and will enhance efforts to recruit underrepresented minorities, women, and people with disabilities to clinical research training. Research training and education within the CEHD will be enhanced through the strong translational and basic science programs at GU and HU, especially in clinical and basic pharmacology, neuroscience, cancer, molecular genetics, alcoholism and drug abuse, and drug discovery. MedStar Health brings strengths in the design and coordination of large multicenter observational studies, intervention trials, and community participatory research, particularly in diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well as research focused on disabilities, rehabilitation, and post-acute care.
