The RADx-rad Discoveries and Data Coordinating Center (DCC)
The RADx-rad Discoveries and Data Coordinating Center (DCC) is a partnership of the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) that brings together informatics/data scientists and infectious diseases specialists to facilitate data collection, harmonization, and sharing, as well as to provide standardized viral samples and testing protocols to support RADx-rad awardees. Our goal is to support awardees in the development, evaluation and pathway to approval for novel diagnostics to assure rapid and scalable impact during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
RADx-rad DCC leadership includes PREPARE faculty Lucila Ohno-Machado, MD, PhD and Eliah Aronoff-Spencer, MD, PhD.
Dissemination and implementation research intends to bridge the gap between research, practice, and policy by building a knowledge base about how health information, effective interventions, and new clinical practices, guidelines and policies are communicated and integrated for public health and health care service use in specific settings. (NIH PAR-19-274). In response to the need for increased capacity in D&I research, training and leadership, the UC San Diego DISC was established in 2020 as a center focusing on dissemination and implementation science across UC San Diego Health Sciences. Key activities provided by the UC San Diego ACTRI DISC include training, consultation, technical assistance, and mentoring to advance D&I science with a local, national, and global impact.
ACTRI DISC is co-directed by PREPARE faculty Borsika Rabin, PhD, PharmD, MPH and Nicole Stadnick, PhD, MPH.
