The continuing goal of the Clinical Nutrition Research Unit is to foster nutrition research by the basic science and clinical faculty at the University of Chicago and affiliated institutions. This is accomplished by offering special expertise, analytical services, support for young investigators, and enrichment programs. Core laboratories provide resources in: 1. stable isotopes/macronutrient metabolism; 2. trace elements/mass spectrometry; 3. vitamins/bone minerals; 4. lipids; 5. radioimmunoassays; 6. nutritional assessment and support; and 7. membrane biochemistry. The CNRU interacts with the large base of funded investigators in nutrition-related areas such as: atherosclerosis and cardiolvascular disease; digestive diseases; diabetes; cancer; growth and development; bone and mineral metabolism; and clinical pharmacology. In this renewal proposal, a mass spectrometry component has been added to the trace element laboratory to expand our already strong stable isotope program into the area of trace elements. This will further increase utilization by our University of Chicago research base as well as by investigators throughout the country. The vitamin laboratory has incorporated a bone mineral component to increase services offered to investigators studying vitamin D, calcium, and bone metabolism. A new membrane biochemistry core is proposed to encourage sophisticated studies of nutrient transport, metabolism, and action at the cell level. New research initiatives are being developed between the CNRU and faculty concerned with geriatrics, behavioral research, and public policy issues. Support for Pilot and Feasibility studies encourages young faculty to pursue nutritional research and established investigators to add innovative nutritional dimensions to their programs. A New Investigator Award is given to assist a young faculty member in developing nutrition research that will be competitive for independent funding. The CNRU cooperates with the academic Committee on Human Nutrition and Nutritional Biology to sponsor a seminar series, special lectureships, and other educational events. These activities encourage medical students, house officers, and graduate students to pursue careers in nutrition research. The CNRU enrichment programs also foster increased awareness of the importance of nutrition in disease prevention and management, and provide nutrition education to health professionals and to the lay public.

临床营养研究室的持续目标是 促进基础科学和临床教师的营养研究 在芝加哥大学及其附属机构。 这是 通过提供特殊的专业知识、分析服务来实现， 对年轻研究者的支持和丰富项目。 核 实验室提供以下方面的资源： 1. 稳定 同位素/宏量营养素代谢； 2.微量元素/质量 光谱测定； 3.维生素/骨矿物质； 4. 脂质； 5. 放射免疫测定； 6. 营养评估和支持；和 7. 膜生物化学。 CNRU与大基地互动 营养相关领域受资助的研究人员数量，例如： 动脉粥样硬化和心血管疾病；消化系统疾病； 糖尿病;癌症;成长和发展；骨骼和矿物质 代谢;和临床药理学。 在这次更新提案中， 质谱成分已添加到迹线中 元素实验室扩大我们已经强大的稳定同位素 编程到微量元素区域。 这将进一步 提高我们芝加哥大学研究基地的利用率 以及全国各地的调查人员的调查。 维生素 实验室已加入骨矿物质成分以增加 为研究维生素 D、钙和维生素 D 的研究人员提供的服务 骨代谢。 提出了一种新的膜生化核心 鼓励对营养物质运输的复杂研究， 新陈代谢和细胞水平的作用。 新的研究举措 正在 CNRU 和相关教师之间制定 老年病学、行为研究和公共政策问题。 对试点和可行性研究的支持鼓励年轻教师 进行营养研究并建立研究人员来补充 他们的计划具有创新的营养维度。 一个新的 研究者奖旨在协助年轻教师 开展具有竞争力的营养研究 独立资助。 CNRU与学术界合作 人类营养和营养生物学委员会赞助 研讨会系列、特别讲座和其他教育活动 事件。 这些活动鼓励医学生、家庭 官员和研究生从事营养事业 研究。 CNRU 的丰富项目还培养了更多 认识营养在疾病预防中的重要性 和管理，并提供健康营养教育 专业人士和普通公众。
