Cores

 

Admin Core

The Administrative Core will provide key oversight to ensure that the proposed ACHIEVE GREATER Center is a fully integrated, well-oiled machine whose investigators are successful in training the next generation of disparities researchers, while conducting research that accomplishes the overall goal of improving downstream lifespan equality by controlling major cardiometabolic risk factors that contribute disproportionately to midlife mortality in minority populations

Investigator Development Core

The overarching goal of the Investigator Development Core (IDC) is to create a climate where collaborative and innovative research can thrive, leading to improved population health through sound research and implementation science. The IDC provides opportunities for a diverse cohort of highly skilled early-stage investigators (ESI) to develop and pilot innovative research studies by efficiently leveraging existing resources across three major research institutions in the proposed ACHIEVE GREATER.
