GENERAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

这是一项建立综合临床研究中心(GCRC)的建议 鲍曼·格雷医学院(BGSM)/北卡罗来纳州浸信会 NCBH医院医疗中心。GCRC旨在：1)促进， 通过以下途径支持和促进生物医学研究的卓越 进行高效和富有成效的临床调查；2)提供 研究计划和教育活动的核心 发展和加强；3)进一步促进 内科科学家和基础科学家；4)提供一个重点 激励初级教职员工，以及学生、房屋工作人员和 受训研究员，将创造性的临床研究纳入他们的 职业目标；以及5)作为培训的教育资源 在临床研究中。GCRC的实体设施具有战略意义 位于并将包括住院床位、门诊检查室、 程序室，核心实验室，代谢厨房，护士站， 会议室、电脑室和项目主任办公室， 副主任、行政主管和护士长。中锋很容易 门诊部，离其他医院很近 单位。GCRC将由BGSM和NCBH联合运营 关于相互承诺和责任；它将向所有人提供 医学中心的学科。 最初的临床调查涉及内科部门 医学、神经学、外科、儿科学、麻醉学、公共卫生 科学、生物化学、微生物学和免疫学。这项研究 还涉及在 机构：维克森林大学综合癌症中心， 动脉粥样硬化SCOR计划，卒中中心，计划在 分子遗传学，炎症生物学项目，以及 J.保罗·斯蒂希特老龄化研究中心。研究主题包括： 内分泌代谢、心脏病学、肿瘤学、肺科和重症监护 医学、传染病、胃肠病、肌肉骨骼疾病、 血管外科和流行病学。合作关系存在于 临床科学以及微生物学和免疫学的基础科学， 生物化学和分子遗传学。在它成立50周年之际， 该机构准备建立GCRC的基础是：1)增加 该机构临床研究的数量和质量；2)增长 作为生物医学研究和患者护理的BGSM/NCBH医学中心 中心；3)部门和规划之间的密切互动 研究努力；以及4)增加协作的数量 基础科学和临床教师之间的课程。设立 GCRC证书对于促进该专业的进一步学术成熟至关重要。 医疗中心，并在20世纪90年代启动这一GCRC将允许 以人群为基础的临床基础模式的新发展 适合新兴生物医学科学的合作研究 21世纪的世界。

This is a proposal to establish a General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine (BGSM)/North Carolina Baptist Hospital (NCBH) Medical Center. The GCRC is designed to: 1) promote, support, and enhance excellence in biomedical research through the conduct of efficient and productive clinical investigations; 2) provide a nucleus upon which research programs and educational activities can be developed and strengthened; 3) further facilitate interactions between physician scientists and basic scientists; 4) provide a focus which stimulates junior faculty, as well as students, house staff, and fellows-in-training, to include creative clinical research in their career objectives; and 5) serve as an educational resource for training in clinical research. The GCRC physical facility is strategically located and will consist of inpatient beds, outpatient examining rooms, procedure room, core laboratory, metabolic kitchen, nurses' station, conference room, computer room, and offices for program director, associate director, administrator, and head nurse. The center is easily accessed by outpatients, and it is in close proximity to other hospital units. The GCRC will be jointly operated by the BGSM and the NCBH based on mutual commitments and responsibilities; it will be available to all disciplines in the medical center. The initial clinical investigations involve the Departments of Internal Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Public Health Sciences, Biochemistry, and Microbiology and Immunology. The research also involves interdisciplinary programmatic efforts within the institution: The Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University, the Atherosclerosis SCOR Program, the Stroke Center, the Program in Molecular Genetics, the Program on the Biology of Inflammation, and the J. Paul Sticht Center on Aging. Research themes include: endocrine-metabolism, cardiology, oncology, pulmonary and critical care medicine, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, musculoskeletal disease, vascular surgery, and epidemiology. Collaborations exist between clinical sciences and the basic sciences of microbiology and immunology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics. At its 50th anniversary, the institution is poised to establish a GCRC based on: 1) increases in the quantity and quality of clinical research at the institution; 2) growth of the BGSM/NCBH Medical Center as a biomedical research and patient care center; 3) close interactions among departmental and programmatic research efforts; and 4) increases in the number of collaborative programs between basic science and clinical faculty. Establishment of a GCRC is critical to fostering further academic maturation at this medical center, and initiating this GCRC in the 1990s will allow the development, de novo, of a model of basic clinical-population-based collaborative research appropriate to the emerging biomedical sciences of the 21st century.
