CORE CLINICAL NUTRITION RESEARCH CENTER

主要目的是继续进行各种跨学科的研究 活动，临床营养支持程序的开发，以及 过去六年来取得进展的特点 年 明年内，希望执行几项新的 这些项目已经处于发展阶段多年。 其中之一是完成了营养研究实验室， 科学大楼，其中有大约10,000平方英尺的 “空”的空间，就是为了这个目的。 希望资金能成为 可供在来年完成这方面的工作。 另一个主要目标是研究生课程，导致博士学位。人 营养 由于该计划将在医疗中心提供， 不仅强调营养科学， 营养对个人和人口健康的作用， 患有各种疾病的个人的护理和治疗。 是 相信核心营养中心会加强培训， 环境，也将受益于努力和知识 激励研究生。 另一个目标是使实验动物设施投入使用 并进行了一系列关于营养与癌症的研究， 包括癌症化学预防的研究。 我们希望延长 通过提供自动化检测，提高诊断实验室的能力 为了增加微量营养素的数量，包括维生素氨基酸 和微量元素的研究。 最后是 预计核心基金将提供捐款， 几个大型营养相关项目，如果待决的赠款申请， 资金。

The principal aim is to continue to various interdisciplinary research activities, development of clinical nutrition support procedures, and educational functions that have characterized progress over the past six years. Within the next year it is hoped to implement several additional projects that have been in the developmental phase for several years. Among these is completion of research laboratories in the Nutrition Sciences building, which has approximately 10,000 square feet of "shelled-in" space for this purpose. It is hoped that funds will become available to permit completion of this area during the coming year. Another major goal is the graduate program leading to a Ph.D. in Human Nutrition. Since this program is to be offered in a Medical Center it will emphasize not only the science of nutrition in relation to maintaining the health of individuals and populations, but also the role of nutrition in the care and treatment of individuals with various diseases. It is believed that the Core Nutrition Center will enhance the training environment and will also benefit from the efforts and intellectual stimulation of graduate students. An additional goal is to make the experimental animal facility operational and to carry out a series of studies regarding nutrition and cancer, including studies on cancer chemoprevention. We expect to extend the capabilities of the diagnostic laboratories by offering automated assays for an increased number of micronutrients, including vitamins amino acids and trace elements, on small biological specimens. Finally, it is anticipated that the core facility will make contributions in support of several large nutrition-related projects if pending grant applications are funded.
