The Research Capacity Core (RCC) at NCCU's RCMI Center for Health Disparities Research enhances research excellence by supporting faculty and staff through five specialized sub-cores. Together, they provide tailored services — from protocol design and data analytics to compliance and infrastructure — ensuring purpose takes flight in every project.
Each sub-core plays a distinct role in advancing research development, tools, and compliance.
The PEEC sub-core assists in cultivating partnerships and creating opportunities for resource sharing, mentoring, community engagement, and collaborative research while ensuring compliance with University policies and ethical research standards.
The DARM sub-core supports the selection of adequate statistical plans, research design, and methodologies to achieve robust and trustworthy research.
The HLC sub-core helps develop messages for outreach, community engagement, and strategies for disease or risk prevention.
The PHS sub-core supports investigators in improving access, availability, and continuity of care for North Carolinians via translation of evidence-based and outcome-focused interventions.
The BRM sub-core manages, expands the capacity, and advertises the equipment(s) housed within the Julius L. Chambers Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Institute and within the NCCU Animal Research Complex.
