项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a research-intensive health sciences campus. With this award, the UCSF School of Dentistry will hire three new Assistant Professors to develop research projects within an existing multi-disciplinary biomedical core center, the UCSF Center to Address Disparities in Children's Oral Health, which includes faculty from multiple departments at UCSF and other universities. Faculty will also have access to collaborative activities across campus, particularly through the UCSF Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI), the Center for Health and Community, and the Center for Health Professions. The overall goal of this Center is to conduct research to reduce oral health disparities. The specific research focus is to improve our ability to understand, prevent, and eliminate early childhood caries through prevention, early diagnosis and treatment with children and their caregivers. The new investigators will enhance our efforts from three perspectives - laboratory-based cariology research, systems-based medical sociology/health policy research, and sophisticated statistical analysis. Each person will be appointed in a School of Dentistry home department that is committed to providing an additional two years of support beyond this award's initial two years. Each also will be jointly appointed in a second department in another UCSF school, either the School of Medicine or Nursing and have multiple, senior researchers as mentors. The specific aims are: To appoint three Independent, tenure-track equivalent research intensive Assistant Professors at the UCSF School of Dentistry, one with research training in cariology, one with training in sociology of healthcare systems and health policy, and one in biostatistics. To expand existing Institutional strengths, capacity and the scientific mission of the NIH-funded UCSF Center to Address Disparities in Children's Oral Health (NIH/NIDCR U54 DE019285). To provide career development resources, Infrastructure, mentoring and a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment to foster the scientific success of the new investigators as evidenced by their research productivity. These new investigators will strengthen our ability to understand oral health disparities from both micro and macro-levels, expand our overall impact on the research field, and build research capacity. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposal has strong public health relevance. It is responsive to the NIDCR draft strategic plan, 2009-13, Goal IV: Apply rigorous, multidisciplinary research approaches to eliminate disparities in oral, dental and craniofacial health. The dental caries focus is responsive to two Healthy People 2010 Oral Health Objectives: To reduce the proportion of young children aged 2-4 years with 1) dental caries experience in their primary teeth to 11 percent; and 2) with untreated dental caries in their primary teeth to 9 percent.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学旧金山大学（UCSF）是一家研究密集型健康科学校园。有了该奖项，UCSF牙科学院将聘请三名新的助理教授在现有的多学科生物医学核心中心（UCSF中心）中开发研究项目，以解决儿童口腔健康的差异，其中包括来自UCSF多个部门的教师。教职员工还将可以在校园中进行合作活动，特别是通过UCSF临床和转化科学研究所（CTSI），卫生与社区中心以及卫生专业中心。该中心的总体目标是进行研究以减少口腔健康差异。具体的研究重点是提高我们通过预防，早期诊断和对儿童及其护理人员的治疗来理解，预防和消除儿童早期龋齿的能力。新的研究人员将从三个角度来加强我们的努力 - 基于实验室的雕刻研究，基于系统的医学社会学/健康政策研究以及复杂的统计分析。每个人将被任命在牙科学校部门学校，该学校致力于在最初的两年之外提供另外两年的支持。每个人还将在UCSF医学院或护理学院的另一所UCSF学校的第二个部门共同任命，并拥有多位高级研究人员为导师。具体的目的是：任命UCSF牙科学院的三个独立的，终身训练的同等研究强化助理教授，一项接受了商品研究的研究培训，一种接受了医疗保健系统和健康政策的社会学培训，一项在生物统计学方面进行了培训。扩大NIH资助的UCSF中心的现有机构优势，能力和科学任务，以解决儿童口腔健康差异（NIH/NIDCR U54 DE019285）。提供职业发展资源，基础设施，指导和协作，多学科的环境，以促进新研究人员的科学成功，从而证明了其研究生产力。这些新的研究人员将增强我们了解微观和宏观层面的口腔健康差异，扩大我们对研究领域的整体影响并增强研究能力的能力。公共卫生相关性：该提案具有很强的公共卫生相关性。它对NIDCR战略计划（2009-13，目标IV：应用严格的多学科研究方法）的反应敏感，以消除口服，牙科和颅面健康的差异。龋齿的重点是对两个健康人的2010年口腔健康目标的反应：减少2-4岁的幼儿的比例，其中1）龋齿的经验至11％； 2）将未处理的牙齿龋齿放在其主要牙齿中，达到9％。
