The Tracking and Evaluation Core of Rhode Island Advance-CTR conducted an online needs assessment survey at the program's inception in 2016 and again in 2021. Now dealing with well-established support systems provided by the grant, we were particularly interested in how the perceived needs of the research community in Rhode Island might have changed over five years. Specifically, what barriers have been reduced or eliminated and which have persisted or increased? How do those barriers vary by demographic status and what implications do those differences have for the CTR? An online survey was completed by 199 researchers, who reported the extent to which they perceived the lack of access to a range of research supports as a barrier to conducting research at their institution. Overall, researchers indicated statistically significant changes from 2016 to 2021 such that a lack of and had decreased as barriers, while , and , had increased. Statistically significant differences in the salience of particular barriers by some demographic variables were also noted and the results of this study suggest Centers for Clinical and Translational Research can have salutary effects on the research paradigm within their partnering institutions in a relatively short time.
罗得岛州先进转化研究计划的跟踪和评估核心在该计划于 2016 年启动时以及 2021 年再次进行了在线需求评估调查。现在，该计划已经有了成熟的资助支持体系，我们特别关注的是，在过去五年中，罗得岛研究社区的感知需求可能发生了怎样的变化。具体来说，哪些障碍已经减少或消除，哪些仍然存在或增加？这些障碍在多大程度上因人口统计学特征而有所不同，这些差异对 CTR 有何影响？199 名研究人员完成了在线调查，报告了他们认为在自己的机构进行研究时缺乏一系列研究支持的程度。总体而言，研究人员报告称，2016 年至 2021 年期间发生了统计学上显著的变化，缺乏 和 作为障碍的程度有所降低，而 、 和 作为障碍的程度有所增加。一些人口统计学变量的特定障碍的显著性差异也得到了注意，这项研究的结果表明，临床和转化研究中心可以在相对较短的时间内对其合作机构的研究范式产生有益影响。
