Research strategy CDRC research strategy is arranged into four basic themes. under-funded infrastructure, and this scenario is repeated throughout the small-island BNR = Barbados National Registry for Chronic Non-Communicable Disease BES = Barbados Eye Studies Caribbean nations. To address these needs, the CDRC has embarked on setting up an “RCT BROS = Barbados Register of Strokes ready” research infrastructure at the CDRC, building on the state-of-the-art computing BNCS = Barbados National Cancer Study environment developed by the Cave Hill Campus IT services, with the capacity to offer outreach services to other researchers in the region. The outreach programme is built on The first theme in our research strategy is the initiation of chronic disease surveillance in a “GCP” (Good Clinical Practice)-compliant database environment equipped with a secure Barbados. This was motivated by the paucity of prospective data on chronic disease incidence website portal. A suite of open-source tools for managing research studies (OpenClinica) and mortality for Barbados and the wider Caribbean, and now forms the core of chronic and a series of simple advisories are available, and advice is also provided through a ‘research disease epidemiology within the department. clinic’ on all aspects of the research process. The aim is to help all studies utilizing the research infrastructure at the CDRC to attain GCP operating standards with respect to quality assurance, The second theme entails ‘layering’ a research agenda onto these registries, which enables us data management and data security. Our laboratory capacity-building programme co-ordinates to focus on the translation of registry data into practical information for public health policy– Caribbean-wide diagnostic training workshops and collaborates with external agencies to raise makers. A typical example is the Barbados National Cancer Study (BNCS), which focuses on quality standards of laboratories in the region. Staff at CDRC currently supervise five MPhil/ the aetiology and genetic determinants of breast and prostate cancers in Barbados. We are also PhD students in three areas (Genetics, Epidemiology and Immunology). embarking on an ambitious ‘Health Of The Nation’ cross-sectional survey, which will include an estimation, for the first time, of (i) chronic disease risk factor prevalences, (ii) quality of life Theme 1: Surveillance (QoL), (iii) cost of health care, and (iv) reference levels for diagnostic biochemical markers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and lipid distribution in the Barbadian population.

The need for such data has led to the implementation of the surveillance component of the CDRC’s research remit, which includes two distinct The third theme in our research agenda is inflammation and its role in wound-healing.

Both institutions have specific strengths with respect to instrumentation and technical expertise which the Faculty can benefit from under existing In this second year of the University’s Strategic Plan 2007–2012, the Faculty further Memoranda of Understanding.developed its Action Plan and continued in its curriculum renewal efforts at both the undergraduate and graduate level. During the year, we launched twelve new courses, discontinued another twelve, developed and gained approval for seven new courses and STUDENTS revised a further sixteen. The review of the entire Meteorology programme was a major component of this. The Faculty is particularly pleased that eleven of its academics enlisted Undergraduate registrations continued to grow sustainably with a total enrolment for 2008/9 in the new University Teaching Certificate Programme, a Strategic Plan initiative to improve of 1045, almost 6% greater than last year. Of some concern, the number of students graduating teaching quality. from the Faculty was only 111 (Table 5), 21% less than the previous year. A decline was also seen last year and may be attributed to the increasing proportion of students in recent years One of the two major focal areas of the Faculty Plan is the development of Earth Sciences opting for part-time study. If so, after this transition period, these numbers will rise to their at the undergraduate level as an interdisciplinary Faculty-managed programme. In 2008/9, previous level. This anomaly aside, the distribution of Honours awarded was as it has been for three new advanced Earth Sciences were mounted for the first time with good registrations several years with 9% of the graduands attaining First Class Honours and about 19% Upper and a further two advanced Earth Sciences courses were approved along with the Minor Second Class Honours (Table 1). in Earth Sciences. Based on the growth in registration of Level 1 Earth Sciences courses from 13 students in 2006/7 to 52 students in 2008/9 and the favourable response to the Students in the Faculty continue to pursue a wide range of programmes (Table 2). As always, new advanced courses this programme is successful and will hopefully soon be expanded Double Major combinations continue to be the most popular degree choice, but for the first to a Major. As part of the Meteorology revision three Level 1 courses were created, and to time the number of students opting for Single Majors with a Minor surpassed those choosing rationalize resources, one of these, Oceans & Climate, is taken by both Meteorology and a Single Major alone (Table 3). The Faculty prides itself on the freedom it gives students to Earth Sciences students (Table 7). combine disciplines within the Sciences and two such new combinations are Mathematics with Statistics and Microbiology & Physics (Table 2). This year, the percentage of Chemistry Our second main focus has been the improvement of our research output and in relation majors rebounded to previous levels while Computer Science and Information Technology, to this our infrastructural platform for research received a major boost with the Campus which together are typically half of all majors, are slightly lower than normal (Table 4).
