Jackson State University was recently awarded a five year contract to implement the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) Community Outreach Center (CORC). The contract period is from 8/16/2013-8/15/2014 for a total amount of 3,086,081. The CORC is an expansion of the highly successful operation of the Community Partnership Office (CPO), in the Jackson State University Coordinating Center, which operated from 1999-2013. During the era of the CPO, relationships and partnerships were developed with over 100 churches, community based organizations, governmental agencies, private non-profit organizations, other institutions of higher learning and individual partners. A community based participatory research (CBPR) component has been added under this new contract period.

We are no longer accepting Vanguard Center Applications.

Jackson Heart Study Vanguard Centers

Vanguard Collaborative Centers offer an additional mechanism for sharing Jackson Heart Study (JHS) data to foster collaborations and increase scientific productivity. JHS Vanguard Centers will enhance the scientific productivity of the JHS by participating in and contributing to JHS collaborations in the development of manuscript and ancillary study proposals and manuscripts.

Benefits of JHS Vanguard Centers

a. Vanguard Centers will receive a JHS Data Package from the JHS Coordinating Center, please see the JHS Vanguard Center Package Contents document for the latest package description.

b. JHS Vanguard Centers with expertise and experience in analysis of genetic data and with approved access to JHS dbGap data may request access to genetic data on JHS participants who have provided consent for such collaborations.

c. The JHS Coordinating Center will assist in answering queries from the Vanguard Centers regarding the JHS data.

b. Have a data curator to serve as the primary contact for receipt of JHS Vanguard Center data updates and manage JHS datasets for Vanguard Center Investigators.

c. Have additional investigators at the same institution willing and able to collaborate on manuscript and ancillary study proposals and on manuscripts and ancillary studies of cardiovascular diseases among JHS participants.

Each JHS Vanguard Center is expected to:

a. Provide its own internal administrative support.

b. Participate in reviews of: 2 or more manuscript proposals; 2 or more ancillary study

proposals per year; and 2 or more penultimate manuscripts as requested by theJHS Publications and Presentations Subcommittee (PPS) and the Ancillary Studies Subcommittee (ANSS).
