GENERAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

我们建议继续慈善事业的整体研究方向 杜兰大学路易斯安那州立大学 GCRC 医院，沿线成立 在过去的项目期间。 我们计划 GCRC 继续 作为基于患者的应用和基础研究的设施。 的 GCRC 的具体目标仍将是： (1) 提供 人员配备齐全且扩建的设施，将允许住院和 为研究项目对象的个人提供门诊护理； (2) 继续支持小型核心实验室，该实验室将提供 许多使用这些设施作为衡量标准的研究人员进行的分析 提高生产力并降低成本； （三）提高质量 整个慈善医院-杜兰-路易斯安那州立大学医疗综合体的患者护理 通过继续应用这些临床研究工作中取得的进展 疾病诊断和治疗； (4) 继续提供并 扩大我们在方法和设计培训方面的努力 临床研究项目作为研究生教学的一种形式 研究住院医师、实习生、医学生、研究员、护士和其他 辅助医务人员。 涉及两个主要部门的临床研究项目 医学院以及几个主要的中心或机构 GCRC 目前已针对特定疾病制定了相关规定。 跨学科 期间的努力得到了强调并且取得了特别成功 经营的最初几年。 我们计划继续强调 医学院和多个部门的跨学科努力 每个学校内。 GCRC 仍将主要是一个成人单位， 但它的整体构成将继续扩大 有传染性的儿科患者和研究对象的数量 其整体构成中的疾病。

We propose to continue the overall research direction of the Charity Hospital-Tulane-Louisiana State University GCRC, along lines established during the past project period. We plan for the GCRC to continue to serve as a facility for patient-based applied and basic research. The specific aims of the GCRC will continue to be: (1) to provide a well-staffed and expanded facility that will allow inhospital and outpatient care for individuals who are subjects of research projects; (2) to continue to support a small Core Laboratory which will provide assays for many of the researchers who use the facilities as a measure to increase productivity and reduce cost; (3) to improve the quality of patient care in the overall Charity Hospital-Tulane-LSU medical complex by continuing to apply advances made in these clinical research endeavors to disease diagnosis and therapy; (4) to continue to provide and to expand our efforts with regard to training in methodology and design of the clinical research projects as a form of teaching for postgraduate research residents, interns, medical students, fellows, nurses, and other paramedical personnel. Clinical research programs involving all major departments in both medical schools plus several major centers or institutes concerned with specific diseases are currently in place in the GCRC. Interdisciplinary efforts have been stressed and have been particularly successful during the initial years of operation. We plan to continue to stress a strong inter-disciplinary effort by both medical schools and several departments within each school. The GCRC will remain predominantly an adult unit, but it will continue to have within its overall makeup an expanding number of pediatric patients and study subjects who have contagious diseases within its overall makeup.
