性病护理点测试（POCT）开发和测试中心的目标是支持 开发这些测试，并与其他中心合作，试点这项技术，并确保它是 可供临床医生和其他最终用户使用。这一目标与《国家行动计划》所述目标一致。 卫生研究院（NIH），国家生物医学成像和生物工程研究所（NIBIB）和职位 中心，以促进该机构的任务。为了支持中心的目标，核心4的目标是 成功地教育实验室科学家关于临床医生和家庭用户确定的测试方法。 这些教育计划将说明这些测试将被执行的设置的现实情况 并说明测试将在解决公共卫生优先事项方面发挥的重要作用。具体目标为 这些戈尔措施包括：为使用因特网的实验室科学家开展培训计划;确保内容 这说明了对这些测定的需要;并为科学家提供简短的见习工作， 将进行POCT。我们的培训将加强这一理念，即负担得起的，敏感的，具体的，用户 友好、快速、稳健、无需设备、可交付的非侵入性检测对于支持临床护理至关重要 和疾病预防。通过提高意识，1）这些测试提供了供应商和家庭 用户有机会进行测试并获得即时结果; 2）临床实践中的快速测试结果将 确保早期有效的治疗和疾病干预; 3）即时结果的家庭测试可以增强 个人了解他们的状况，并寻求早期治疗和咨询;以及4）早期治疗， 咨询在干预疾病进展和传播方面是必不可少的， 公共卫生职能和原则的知识，并表明与 科学家们对社区健康的贡献。核心4支持中心强大的公共卫生 注重并积极展示评估、保证和沟通的公共卫生职能。

The goal of the Center for Developing and Testing of Point of Care Tests (POCT) for STDs" is to support the development of these tests and work with other Centers to pilot this technology and assure that it is made available to clinicians and other end users. This goal is compatible with the stated goal of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and positions the Center to further the agency's mandate. To support the Center's goal, the goal of Core 4 is to successfully educate bench scientists regarding the test requisites identifed by clinicians and home users. These educational programs will illustrate the realities of the settings in which these tests will be performed and illustrate the essential role the tests will play in addressing public health priorities. The specific aims for this Gore include: conducting training programs for laboratory scientists using the Internet; ensuring content that illustrates the need for these assays; and offering brief clerkships to the scientists in settings where the POCTs,will be performed. Our training will reinforce the philosophy that affordable, sensitive, specific, user friendly, rapid, robust, equipment-free, deliverable non-invasive assays are essential to support clinical care and disease prevention. By increasing the awareness that 1)these tests offer both providers and home users the opportunity to perform tests and get immediate results; 2)rapid test results in clinical practice will assure early effective treatment and disease intervention; 3)home tests with immediate results may empower private individuals to learn their status and seek early treatment and counseling; and 4)early treatment and counseling are imperative in intervening on disease progression and transmission, the training will advance the knowledge of public health functions and principles and demonstrate the importance of partnership with scientists at the bench to the health of the community. Core 4 supports the Center's strong public health focus and actively demonstrates the public health functions of assessment, assurance and communication.
