# Clinical Sciences Core (Core C)

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE · 2021 · $222,734

## Abstract

The Clinical Sciences Core (Core C) is led by Dr. Rafael Campo as Director, Drs. Charles Mitchell and Margaret
Fischl as Co- Directors, and Dr. David Ludwig as Biostatistical Subcore leader. During the past 4 years, Core C
provided essential services that both enhanced the productivity of new and established investigators and
fostered collaborative research among basic, translational, behavioral, social, and clinical scientists. Core C
provided support and services for over 70 projects supported by various NIH institutes and networks, the CDC,
the HRSA, and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as pilot awards. Among notable Core C successes, we have
added a second clinical research unit through synergistic interactions with diverse stakeholders and we have
identified large databases that will offer new avenues for research. The mission and goals of Core C are driven
by the research priorities of the Miami CFAR investigators, and the Core makes every possible effort to support
these needs in a manner that fosters synergy and collaboration between CFAR cores and investigators and
produces economies of scale and effort. The support provided by Core C is indispensable to our investigators in
general and to our young investigators in particular because, in many instances, this support would not be
available were it not for the existence of the CFAR. Specific aims are: Aim 1. Provide state-of-the-art facilities
for implementation of, clinical research and services including sample and data collection and to facilitate training
/education of junior investigators. Aim 2. Provide research design methodology and technical assistance to meet
regulatory standards in research that involves human subjects, human data, and biological specimens, and; Aim
3. Provide research design and biostatistical support through a CFAR Biostatistics Sub-core. Core C will serve
as a valuable resource that provides investigative tools and mentoring support beyond that which is available
through routine grant mechanisms.
