DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) RCMI Center of Excellence in Clinical and Translational Research (R-CENTER) is to train the next generation of minority clinical and translational scientists to pursue multidisciplinary approaches to discovery science that translate into the amelioration of health disparities. MSM has experienced tremendous growth and success of its research enterprise over the past decade based on a strategic plan that focuses our talent and resources in discrete areas that will serve the needs of minority communities. This R-CENTER proposal builds upon the foundational infrastructure developed with the careful stewardship and investments of RCMI resources over the past decade. Our approach is to further enhance our research capacity in clinical and translational science by building effective partnerships and seeking synergies that leverage the collective strengths of our talented faculty, trainees, students and collaborators. The R-CENTER's institution-wide organizational framework and key functions are designed to promote transformative changes in our research environment that will enhance our research capacity in clinical/translational science by pursuing the following specific aims Aim I: Transform Our Institution. Establish an organizational framework for conducting clinical/ translational research that promotes multidisciplinary approaches to addressing health disparities. Aim II: Transform Our Research Environment. Establish a robust research infrastructure and vibrant training environment that fosters innovative, multidisciplinary clinical/translational research. Aim III: Transform the Community of Biomedical Scientists - Training the Next Generation. Establish an institution-wide mechanism for recruiting, training and mentoring a critical mass of talented faculty engaged in multidisciplinary clinical/translational research. Aim IV: Transform Our Community. Establish a community-centered model of clinical/translational research that advances discovery science and translates new knowledge into improvements in the health status of minority communities. Overall, the implementation of these specific aims will enable MSM to fulfill its long-term goal of translating discovery science into community-based solutions that ameliorate health disparities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVENCE (provided by the applicant): Minority-serving academic health centers such as MSM are strategically poised to make important scientific contributions that address the devastating problem of racial/ethnic disparities of health in the US. The proposed R-CENTER program will enable MSM investigators to establish the research infrastructure and capacity necessary to pursue discovery science that will translate into improvements in the health status of the minority communities we serve.

描述（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯医学院 (MSM) RCMI 临床和转化研究卓越中心 (R-CENTER) 的长期目标是培养下一代少数族裔临床和转化科学家追求多学科发展发现科学的方法可以转化为改善健康差距的方法。在过去的十年里，MSM 的研究事业取得了巨大的发展和成功，其战略计划将我们的人才和资源集中在离散领域，以满足少数族裔社区的需求。该 R-CENTER 提案建立在过去十年中通过 RCMI 资源的精心管理和投资而开发的基础设施之上。我们的方法是通过建立有效的合作伙伴关系并寻求利用我们才华横溢的教师、实习生、学生和合作者的集体优势的协同效应，进一步增强我们在临床和转化科学方面的研究能力。 R-CENTER 的全机构组织框架和关键职能旨在促进我们研究环境的变革，通过追求以下具体目标来增强我们在临床/转化科学方面的研究能力 目标一：改变我们的机构。建立一个进行临床/转化研究的组织框架，促进多学科方法来解决健康差异。 目标二：改变我们的研究环境。建立强大的研究基础设施和充满活力的培训环境，促进创新、多学科临床/转化研究。 目标三：改变生物医学科学家社区 - 培训下一代。建立全机构范围的机制，招募、培训和指导一批从事多学科临床/转化研究的优秀教师。 目标四：改变我们的社区。建立以社区为中心的临床/转化研究模型，推进发现科学并将新知识转化为少数民族社区健康状况的改善。 总体而言，这些具体目标的实施将使 MSM 实现其将发现科学转化为改善健康差距的基于社区的解决方案的长期目标。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：MSM 等为少数族裔服务的学术健康中心在战略上做好了做出重要科学贡献的准备，以解决美国种族/民族健康差异这一破坏性问题。拟议的 R-CENTER 计划将使 MSM 研究人员能够建立追求发现科学所需的研究基础设施和能力，从而改善我们所服务的少数族裔社区的健康状况。
