RETROVIRUS RESEARCH LEADERSHIP CORE: HIV/AIDS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 逆转录病毒研究中心(RRC)是一个研究中心，在波多黎各促进和便利艾滋病毒/艾滋病和其他逆转录病毒的研究。该中心由中央加勒比大学及其在波多黎各巴亚蒙的医疗机构赞助。RRC的目的是促进艾滋病毒感染的研究成为一个多学科的研究领域，在这个领域中，临床、免疫学、病毒学、心理社会和行为参数需要被整合到一个连贯的研究战略中。该中心聚集了多学科的研究人员，他们对根据疾病的生态学观点描述和理解艾滋病毒感染的关键因素感兴趣。目前的提案将中心的结构安排在三个相互交错的核心设施中，这将为创新试点研究的发展提供支持。领导核心通过在产生假设驱动的研究中发挥积极作用，协调和促进艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的智力刺激环境。RRC的这一多学科愿景是对国家卫生研究院的愿景的回应，它们在研究疾病复杂性方面发挥了作用。我们的人口主要是西班牙裔，70%至80%的人感染艾滋病毒与药物滥用行为直接或间接有关。研究中心在继续这项研究方面发挥重要作用，最终目标是减少艾滋病毒流行病在该岛的传播性质。领导核心将通过其两个主要核心设施：艾滋病毒/艾滋病数据核心和实验室核心，提供行政基础设施和后勤支持研究活动。

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. The Retrovirus Research Center (RRC) is a research center that promotes and facilitates the study of HIV/AIDS and other retroviruses in Puerto Rico. The center is sponsored by the Universidad Central del Caribe and its health care facility in Bayamon Puerto Rico. The aim of the RRC is to promote the study of HIV- infection as a multidisciplinary research arena in which the clinical, immunological, virological, psychosocial and behavioral parameters need to be integrated into a coherent research strategy. The center agglutinates multidisciplinary researchers interesting in describing and understanding key elements of HIV-infection according to an ecological view of the disease. The current proposal organized the structure of the center in three interlacing core facilities, which will provide support for the development of innovative pilot studies. The Leadership Core coordinates and facilitates an intellectually stimulating environment for HIV/AIDS research by playing a proactive role in generating hypothesis-driven studies. This multidisciplinary vision of the RRC is responsive to the vision of the National Institutes of Health their role of studying the complexity of diseases. Our population is mostly Hispanic and between 70-80% have HIV- infection directly or indirectly related to substance abuse practices. The RRC has an important role in continuing the research with the ultimate goal of diminishing the spreading nature of the HIV epidemic in the island. The Leadership Core will provide an administrative infrastructure and logistic to support research activities through its main two core facilities: The HIV/AIDS Data Core and the Laboratory Core.
