尽管自俄克拉荷马州共享临床和翻译资源以来已经取得了一些改善 (OSCTR)启动，俄克拉荷马州在总体健康状况方面一直保持在或接近垫底10%的州 它的人口。俄克拉荷马州的居民不成比例地患有慢性健康问题，如肥胖， 糖尿病、心血管疾病和关节炎/自身免疫。俄克拉荷马州人的预期寿命为4年 比美国公民平均寿命短，而美国印第安人的预期寿命超过7岁 比美国境内的其他团体都要短。农村人口(34%)和部落人口(16%)的比例很高， 俄克拉荷马州在实施临床和转化研究(CTR)方面面临着独特的挑战和机遇 旨在改善健康和疾病成果的项目、传播和实施研究。《临床》 OSCTR的核心资源(ClinRes)建立了一个支持人类受试者研究的中央系统 重点关注了这些问题。该中心提供临床研究设施和工作人员来协助参与者 招聘和监管批准，一个CAP认证的生物库，允许OSCTR采用或 建立登记处、存储库和队列，帮助调查人员获得和利用高质量的 用于支持其研究工作的样本，以及用于访问已取消身份的患者数据以支持 临床研究项目。这些努力使Core能够支持多个CTR的职业生涯 调查人员，包括作为代表不足的少数族裔社区成员的研究人员 州政府。ClinRes Core将继续提供这种宝贵的样本收集途径，同时支持 建立和发展新的资料库，重点关注我们最关心的健康问题 人群，包括癌症、糖尿病和关节炎。ClinRes核心将继续与 社区参与和外联(CEO)核心，建立在与较小规模的 在新冠肺炎大流行期间，全州的社区组织。总而言之，这些合作 增强我们的CTR研究人员的整体机会，将临床研究和试验扩大到居民 在全州范围内帮助增加参与者的多样性，并解决我们农村和少数民族的健康差距。 ClinRes Core将继续通过机构IRB向初级调查人员提供必要的协助 应用程序、协议、数据安全监控板和其他法规要求，并将与 管理核心，使研究人员、临床医生、 临床研究人员和参与者通过Gateway到俄克拉荷马州门户网站。与首席执行官部落 参与股，我们将协助调查人员与印度卫生服务和部落IRB合作， 确保保护个人人类臣民和部落社区人口。最后，我们会 继续开发和支持资源，以增强我们的临床研究信息学能力，以促进 地方和国家的研究努力。

Although some improvement has been made since the Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources (OSCTR) initiation, Oklahoma remains consistently in or near the bottom 10% of states for the overall health of its population. Oklahoma’s residents disproportionately suffer from chronic health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis/autoimmunity. Oklahomans have a life expectancy of 4 years shorter than the average US citizen, while American Indians have a life expectancy of more than 7 years shorter than other groups within the US. With high percentages of rural (34%) and tribal (16%) populations, Oklahoma has unique challenges and opportunities to implement clinical and translational research (CTR) projects and dissemination and implementation research to improve health and disease outcomes. The Clinical Resources (ClinRes) Core of the OSCTR has built a centralized system to support human subjects research focused on these issues. The Core provides clinical research facilities and staff to assist with participant recruitment and regulatory approvals, a CAP-certified Biorepository that has allowed the OSCTR to adopt or establish registries, repositories, and cohorts to assist investigators in obtaining and utilizing high-quality samples to support their research efforts, and infrastructure for accessing de-identified patient data to support clinical research projects. These efforts have allowed the Core to support the careers of multiple CTR investigators, including researchers who are members of the under-represented minority communities in the state. The ClinRes Core will continue to provide this invaluable access to sample collections while supporting the establishment and growth of new repositories focusing on the health issues of greatest concern to our populations, including cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. The ClinRes core will continue to work with the Community Engagement and Outreach (CEO) Core to build on the strong relationships developed with smaller community organizations across the state during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, these collaborations enhance the overall opportunities of our CTR investigators to expand clinical study and trial access to residents throughout the state to help increase participant diversity and address our rural and minority health disparities. The ClinRes Core will continue to provide junior investigators with essential assistance with institutional IRB applications, protocols, data safety monitoring boards, and other regulatory requirements and will work with the Administrative Core to make access to resources and information more accessible to investigators, clinicians, clinical research staff, and participants through the Gateway to Oklahoma portal. With the CEO Tribal Engagement Unit, we will assist investigators in working with the Indian Health Service and tribal IRBs, ensuring the protection of both individual human subjects and tribal community populations. Finally, we will continue developing and supporting resources to grow our clinical research informatics capacity to facilitate local and national research efforts.
