ABSTRACT The University of Houston (UH) has approximately 400 faculty (~150 from communities underrepresented in the health sciences) conducting health-related research. These faculty span 12 Colleges and 28 academic units. This recent environmental scan suggests (1) there is a natural wellspring of scientists from a broad range of health disciplines that can leverage the Research Infrastructure Core (RIC) to advance their research; and (2) there is a tremendous opportunity to engage more scientists in innovative health-equity science that can discover novel solutions to disparities in addictions and cancer prevention afflicting our underserved and marginalized communities in Houston and beyond. The RIC will be executed by experienced scientists that are passionate about health-equity science. Ultimately, the proposed RCMI is uniquely situated to aggressively launch a centralized RIC capable of actualizing four specific aims: Aim 1. Execute a centralized research infrastructure that will enhance the scientific rigor, productivity, and impact of addictions and cancer prevention research at UH. Plan: Deliver state-of-the-art core services in the areas of (1) Research Methodology; (2) Laboratory Techniques and Facilities; (3) Data Management and Biostatistics; (4) Health Informatics; and (5) Responsible Conduct of Research, Ethics, and Compliance in health-disparities research; Aim 2. Develop an intellectual incubator that generates transdisciplinary research teams linking investigators underrepresented in the health sciences with established investigators at UH. Plan: Execute a comprehensive marketing plan that targets and encourages University leadership, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows to leverage RIC services to advance their science while taking the opportunity to build new transdisciplinary research teams that pursue novel solutions to complex health challenges; Aim 3. Provide dynamic core services for RCMI scientists that are cost-effective, accessible, efficient, and with excellent customer service. Plan: Execute a user-friendly electronic ticketing and tracking system that will monitor service utilization and satisfaction in real-time, while also informing the data-driven redistribution of resources to maximize end-user needs and demonstrate a substantial return-on-investment; Aim 4. Pursue collaborations that minimize University duplication of resources and build bridges with local and national exemplars. Plan: Work with the Directors of the local and national exemplars to engage in a shared vision that advances health-equity science. Ultimately, large-scale innovative research that has strong scientific rigor, transparency, and reproducibility cannot be fully actualized without an efficient state-of-the-art research infrastructure.

抽象的 休斯顿大学（UH）有大约400名教职员工（社区约150位 在健康科学中的代表性不足）进行了与健康有关的研究。这些教师跨越12 大学和28个学术单位。最近的环境扫描表明（1）有一个天然的弹簧 来自广泛的健康学科的科学家，可以利用研究基础设施核心（RIC） 推进他们的研究； （2）有一个巨大的机会让更多的科学家参与创新 健康平衡科学可以发现成瘾和预防癌症差异的新颖解决方案 折磨了我们在休斯顿及其他地区的服务不足和边缘化的社区。 RIC将由 对健康平衡科学充满热情的经验丰富的科学家。最终，拟议的RCMI是 独特的位置，可以积极推出一个能够实现四个特定目标的集中式RIC：AIM 1。 执行集中研究基础设施，以提高科学严谨，生产力， 在UH上成瘾和预防癌症研究的影响。计划：提供最先进的核心服务 （1）研究方法的领域； （2）实验室技术和设施； （3）数据管理和 生物统计学； （4）健康信息学； （5）负责任的研究，道德和合规性 健康分散性研究；目标2。开发一种产生跨学科的智力孵化器 与既定研究者相关的研究团队的研究团队与卫生科学的人数不足 在呃。计划：执行针对和鼓励大学领导的全面营销计划， 教师和博士后研究员利用RIC服务来推进他们的科学，同时抓住机会 建立新的跨学科研究团队，以寻求新的解决方案，以应对复杂的健康挑战；目标3。 为RCMI科学家提供动态的核心服务，这些科学家具有成本效益，易于访问，高效 出色的客户服务。计划：执行将使用用户友好的电子票务和跟踪系统 实时监视服务利用和满意度，同时也告知数据驱动的重新分布 资源以最大程度地提高最终用户需求并证明重大投资回报；目标4。追求 合作，使大学重复资源的重复并与本地和国家建造桥梁 典范。计划：与地方和国家典范的董事合作，以共同的愿景来参与 进步健康平等科学。最终，具有强大科学严谨的大规模创新研究， 如果没有有效的最先进的研究，透明度和可重复性就无法完全实现 基础设施。
