DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cochrane Collaboration is an international, nonprofit, and independent organization dedicated to improving health care for the world's population by preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews. The CAM Field is the designated group within the Cochrane Collaboration focused on facilitating the conduct of Cochrane systematic reviews of complementary and alternative medicine therapies. The CAM Field is based within and sponsored by the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland, as it has been since inception in 1996, under the leadership of Brian Berman, co- founder and Convener of the CAM Field. Over the past four years the CAM Field has been supported through an R24 grant from NCCAM. The CAM Field has used the R24 funding to significantly further the priorities and goals of NCCAM by coordinating the preparation of high quality systematic reviews of CAM, improving research methods for CAM systematic review conduct, developing a specialized database of CAM RCTs, and widely disseminating information about systematic reviews, evidence-based CAM, and the Cochrane Collaboration, to CAM researchers, practitioners, the lay public, and policy-makers. However, many questions still remain to be answered regarding the effectiveness and safety of CAM therapies and much remains to be accomplished in the rigorous collection, evaluation, and dissemination of high quality information in CAM. To expand the CAM Field as a resource for research, the following four specific aims have been developed for this proposed renewal of our R24 funding: 1) Increase the number of high quality systematic reviews in CAM; 2) Increase promotion of the Cochrane CAM Field; 3) Improve and increase the database of randomized controlled trials of CAM interventions; and 4) Ensure effective and efficient communication between CAM Field members and members of other entities within the Cochrane Collaboration. As interest in and utilization of CAM therapies is only increasing in the US and worldwide, systematic reviews will continue to be essential to clinicians and patients as they seek to make informed, evidence-based health care decisions. Since its inception, the CAM Field has conducted valuable research related to systematic reviews, has served as a research resource for the worldwide medical community, and has served an important administrative role within the international Cochrane Collaboration. The productivity of the CAM Field will only increase in the coming years, due to the research infrastructure and worldwide network developed within it over the previous four years.

描述（由申请人提供）：Cochrane 协作组织是一个国际性、非营利性、独立的组织，致力于通过准备、维护和促进系统评价的可及性来改善世界人口的医疗保健。 CAM Field 是 Cochrane 协作组织内的指定小组，致力于促进补充和替代医学疗法的 Cochrane 系统评价。 CAM Field 位于马里兰大学综合医学中心并由该中心赞助，自 1996 年成立以来一直由 CAM Field 联合创始人兼召集人 Brian Berman 领导。在过去的四年里，CAM Field 得到了 NCCAM R24 拨款的支持。 CAM Field 利用 R24 资金，通过协调 CAM 的高质量系统评价的准备、改进 CAM 系统评价的研究方法、开发 CAM RCT 的专业数据库以及广泛传播信息，显着推进 NCCAM 的优先事项和目标向 CAM 研究人员、从业者、公众和政策制定者介绍系统评价、循证 CAM 和 Cochrane 协作。然而，关于 CAM 疗法的有效性和安全性的许多问题仍有待解答，在严格收集、评估和传播 CAM 高质量信息方面仍有许多工作要做。为了扩大 CAM 领域作为研究资源的范围，我们为 R24 资助的拟议更新制定了以下四个具体目标： 1) 增加 CAM 高质量系统评价的数量； 2）加大Cochrane CAM Field的推广力度； 3）完善和增加CAM干预随机对照试验数据库； 4) 确保 CAM Field 成员与 Cochrane 协作组织内其他实体的成员之间有效且高效的沟通。由于美国和世界各地对 CAM 疗法的兴趣和使用不断增加，系统评价对于临床医生和患者寻求做出明智的、基于证据的医疗保健决策仍然至关重要。自成立以来，CAM Field 开展了与系统评价相关的有价值的研究，成为全球医学界的研究资源，并在国际 Cochrane 协作组织中发挥了重要的管理作用。由于过去四年内开发的研究基础设施和全球网络，CAM 领域的生产力在未来几年只会提高。
