PREDICT (Precision Medicine, Education, Data Informatics and Community Translation) Institute

项目摘要摘要 路易斯安那州泽维尔大学寻求美国国立卫生研究院国家少数民族研究所的支持 健康和健康差距，以补充学院的研究基础设施 通过一项新的倡议进行制药。拟议的倡议将建立Precision 医学、教育、数据信息学和社区翻译(预测)研究所， 创建一个全面的、可复制的框架的综合方案倡议 利用电子健康数据和社区翻译来影响决策- 制定改善健康结果的程序。该研究所将延长这项技术 泽维尔的研究交换(TREX)计划，包括当前和未来的培训 在卫生信息学最佳实践方面代表性不足的研究人员，以使 研究人员和利用以社区为基础的方法来增强临床 在弱势群体中的研究努力。这一要求既具有挑战性，也具有挑战性 机会主义时代，人们对健康差距的认识有所提高，在一些国家， 例如，新冠肺炎大流行加剧了这种情况。利用人口健康和 生物信息学数据是实现以下目标所需的集体方法的潜在工具 健康公平。预测研究所的具体目标是： 具体目标#1：通过增加以下内容来增强现有的泽维尔健康信息学基础设施 具备数据采集、数据仓库存储、数据访问、数据分析和技术 为解决少数群体社区的健康问题提供必要的援助。 具体目标2：加强大学的研究和外联基础设施，以 促进社区参与的转化/临床研究和健康促进，以减轻 健康差距。 具体目标#3：通过以下途径培养一支多样化、高度竞争的研究队伍 实施针对学生、博士后住院医师/研究员以及 早期/中期教职员工(预计为学者)。

Project Summary Abstract Xavier University of Louisiana seeks support from the NIH National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities to complement the research infrastructure in the College of Pharmacy through a new initiative. The proposed initiative will establish the Precision Medicine, Education, Data Informatics, and Community Translation (PREDICT) Institute, a comprehensive programmatic initiative creating a holistic and replicable framework for the utilization of electronic health data and community translation to affect the decision- making process to improve health outcomes. The Institute will extend the technical research exchange (TREX) program at Xavier to include training of current and future underrepresented researchers on health informatics best practices to diversify the research workforce and leverage community-based approaches to enhance clinical research efforts in vulnerable populations. This request comes at both a challenging and opportunistic time where an awareness of health disparities was heightened and, in some instances, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of population health and bioinformatics data are potential tools useful in collective approaches required to achieve health equity. The Specific Aims of the PREDICT Institute are: Specific Aim #1: To enhance the existing Xavier health informatics infrastructure by increasing capacity for data acquisition, data warehousing, data access, data analytics, and technical assistance necessary for addressing health outcomes in minority communities. Specific Aim #2: To strengthen the research and outreach infrastructure of the university to promote community-engaged translational/clinical research and health promotion to mitigate health disparities. Specific Aim #3: To develop a diverse, highly competitive research workforce through the implementation of training/mentoring programs for students, postdoctoral residents/fellows, and early-stage/mid-career faculty (PREDICT scholars).
