Enrichment Program

浓缩计划 项目摘要 UT西南NORC的丰富计划在设计时考虑了三个目标。 第一个目标是为UT之间传播和交流知识提供机会。 西南大学的学生、主要研究人员及其研究团队，以及卫生保健专业人员 对营养和肥胖研究以及肥胖患者的循证临床护理感兴趣。的 第二个目标是促进UT西南大学营养和肥胖研究人员与那些 在其他NORC资助的机构以及没有NORC资助的机构，作为促进 思想交流与合作。第三个目标是让北德克萨斯州和更广泛的社区参与进来 - 家庭和卫生专业人员-在努力为他们提供知识的科学背后， 超重和肥胖，以更好地为他们提供基于证据的最佳实践策略， 代谢健康，并使他们熟悉UT的转化肥胖相关研究机会 西南部为了实现这些目标，我们的计划将制定以下要素：1）UT 西南NORC研讨会系列，2）UT西南NORC麦加里研讨会，3）课程和 期刊俱乐部的学生在一个新的分子代谢和代谢疾病研究生轨道和 对营养和肥胖感兴趣的学生，目前由几个T32培训项目资助， 校园，4）介绍UT西南NORC核心设施研讨会，5）社区外展 节目题为“UT西南体重健康和健康生活方式日”，6）一个持续的播客，和7） 保持活跃和最新的社交媒体存在。该计划将促进传播 和知识交流，将增加教育机会，并将提供推广机会， 对社区的贡献

ENRICHMENT PROGRAM PROJECT SUMMARY The Enrichment Program of the UT Southwestern NORC has been designed with three overlying goals in mind. The first goal is to provide opportunities for the dissemination and exchange of knowledge among UT Southwestern students, principal investigators and their research teams, and health care professionals interested in nutrition and obesity research and in evidence-based clinical care of individuals with obesity. The second goal is to foster interactions between nutrition and obesity researchers at UT Southwestern with those at other NORC-funded institutions as well as institutions without NORC funding, as a means of facilitating the exchange of ideas and collaborations. The third goal is to engage the North Texas and wider community at large – both families and health professionals – in an effort to provide them knowledge on the science behind overweight and obesity, to better equip them with evidence-based, best practice strategies for improving metabolic health, and to familiarize them with the translational obesity-related research opportunities at UT Southwestern. In order to achieve these goals, our program will institute the following elements: 1) a UT Southwestern NORC Seminar Series, 2) the UT Southwestern NORC McGarry Symposium, 3) coursework and journal clubs for students in a new Molecular Metabolism and Metabolic Diseases Graduate Track and for students interested in nutrition and obesity who are currently funded by several T32 Training Programs on Campus, 4) an Introduction to the UT Southwestern NORC Core Facilities Workshop, 5) a community outreach program entitled, “UT Southwestern Weight Wellness and Healthy Lifestyle Day”, 6) an ongoing Podcast, and 7) maintenance of an active and up-to-date social media presence. This program will facilitate the dissemination and exchange of knowledge, will enhance educational opportunities, and will provide opportunities for outreach to the community.
