CORE CLINICAL NUTRITION RESEARCH CENTER

主要目标是继续进行各种跨学科的研究 活动，制定临床营养支持程序，以及 过去六年取得进展的教育职能 好几年了。预计在未来一年内，它将实施另外几项 已处于开发阶段数年的项目。 其中包括完成营养研究实验室的建设 科学大楼，它有大约10,000平方英尺 为此目的的“炮击”空间。希望基金能够成为 可用于在来年完成这一区域。 另一个主要目标是研究生课程，以获得人类学博士学位 营养。由于该计划将在医疗中心提供，因此它将 不仅强调营养科学与维持 个人和人群的健康，但营养在 对患有各种疾病的个人的护理和治疗。它是 相信核心营养中心会加强培训 也将从环境和智力的努力中受益 对研究生的激励。 另一个目标是使实验动物设施投入使用 并开展一系列关于营养与癌症的研究， 包括癌症化学预防的研究。我们预计将延长 通过提供自动分析来提高诊断实验室的能力 对于增加的微量营养素，包括维生素和氨基酸 和微量元素，在小的生物标本上。最后，它是 预期核心设施将作出贡献，以支持 几个与营养相关的大型项目，如果悬而未决的赠款申请 有资金支持。

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.
