Tuskegee University Center for Biomedical Research/ RCMI

项目摘要 塔斯基吉大学生物医学研究中心的总体目标 少数民族机构中心（TU CBR/RCMI）计划是建立在和扩大 大学的研究基础设施和发展研究人员进行与健康有关的研究 差距。该倡议的核心是：1）提供必要的基础设施，资源， 服务和技术支持，以提高大学的研究人员留在 多学科基础生物医学/临床健康/和人口研究的前沿 关注健康差距; 2）支持博士后的研究和职业发展 研究员、初级和中级研究员; 3）通过以下方式提高研究水平 促进征聘具有竞争力和高度专业的研究科学家。这些目标 主要通过以下目标实现：1）提供试点资金， 发展和扩大TU的研究能力; 2）提供核心研究设施 配备基础设施、仪器和人员，以支持TU的需求 研究社区; 3）通过RCMI赞助的活动参与社区，包括 4）扩大目前倡议中的临床卫生研究部分; 及5）提供导师及职业辅导，以促进初级人员的过渡 独立科学家的调查。CBR/RCMI项目的总体目标（2023-2028） 继续发展其4个核心组成部分，即行政、调查员 发展、研究基础设施和社区外联基础设施，并增加 从事科学领域的少数民族科学家的人数和技能熟练程度， 生物医学、临床健康和人口研究的重点是健康差距。三 科学领域，基础生物医学，临床卫生和人口研究有研究 目标集中在乳腺癌，肥胖和宫颈癌，所有这些都不成比例地 影响非裔美国人和代表性不足的少数民族。目标是继续支持一个 竞争，多学科的合作环境，推动这些科学领域的发展， research.塔斯基吉大学有独特的优势，因为它位于心脏的 东南部，一个拥有大量历史上服务不足的非洲裔美国人的地区， 大量的少数民族教师以及本科生和研究生实习生。的 通过建立以下三个协同研究项目，将实现CBR/RCMI的目标 核心，并提供服务，以便能够对少数群体之间的卫生不公平现象进行调查研究， 特别是居住在亚拉巴马“黑带”县的非洲裔美国人。

PROJECT SUMMARY The overall objective of the Tuskegee University Center for Biomedical Research/Research Centers in Minority Institutions (TU CBR/RCMI) Program is to build upon and expand the University’s research infrastructure and develop researchers to conduct research related to health disparities. This initiative is centered around: 1) providing the necessary infrastructure, resources, services, and technical support to enhance the ability of the University’s researchers to stay on the cutting-edge of multidisciplinary basic biomedical/clinical health/ and population research focused on health disparities; 2) supporting the research and career development of post-doctoral fellows, junior- and mid-level investigators; and 3) enhancing the research excellence by facilitating the recruitment of competitive and highly expert research scientist. These objectives are to be achieved primarily through the following aims: 1) Provide pilot-level funding to support the development and expansion of the research capacity of TU; 2) Provide core research facilities equipped with the infrastructure, instrumentation, and personnel to support the needs of the TU research community; 3) Engage the community through RCMI-sponsored activities that include the research faculty; 4) Expand the clinical health research component in the current initiative; and 5) Provide mentorship and career guidance to enhance the transition of junior-level investigators into independent scientists. The overall goal of the CBR/RCMI project (2023-2028) is to continue the development of its 4 core components, Administrative, Investigator Development, Research Infrastructure and Community Outreach infrastructure and increase the numbers and skill proficiency of minority scientists engaged in scientific areas that includes basic biomedical, clinical health and population research focused on health disparities. The three scientific areas, basic biomedical, clinical health and population research have research objectives focused on breast cancer, obesity and cervical cancer, all of which disproportionately affect African Americans and underrepresented minorities. The goal is to continue support for a competitive, multidisciplinary collaborative environment that advances these scientific areas of research. Tuskegee University has distinctive strengths because it is located in the heart of the Southeast, a region with a large, historically underserved, African American population, and it has a large number of minority faculty members as well as undergraduate and graduate trainees. The goal of the CBR/RCMI will be accomplished through establishment of three synergistic research cores, with services to enable investigative research on health inequities among minority groups, especially African-Americans residing in the ‘Black Belt’ counties of Alabama.
