GENERAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

杜兰-路易斯安那州立大学-慈善医院GCRC有一个修订后的续签申请。最初的赠款是从1990年1月14日至1993年11月13日发放的，在此期间建造了研究设施，启动并迅速扩大了研究活动。从1993年12月1日至1998年11月30日，为第二次续签申请提供了资金。在此期间，该中心继续快速增长，住院患者数量，特别是门诊患者数量，超过了最初的预测。目前的申请是我们第二次续签五年。我们的具体目标是：(1)提供人员配备齐全并得到相当大的扩展的设施，以便为成人和儿科患者提供高质量的住院和门诊护理，这些患者是整个杜兰-路易斯安那州立大学-慈善医院医疗综合体框架内的研究项目的对象；(2)确保这些项目继续在受控条件下进行，并以科学的严谨性进行；(3)继续支持我们的核心实验室，该实验室为许多使用GCRC的研究人员处理标本和开发最先进的分析方法，从而提高科学生产率和降低成本；(4)在杜兰-路易斯安那州立大学-慈善医院医疗综合体内提供其他研究生、医学生、研究员、护士和某些辅助医疗人员；(5)使该设施成为利用新赠款的榜样，并通过将这些临床研究项目产生的进步应用于疾病诊断和治疗来提高患者护理质量。我们的节目将继续强调以下几点。(1)两所医学院之间强有力的跨学科努力；(2)两所学院院长的坚定承诺；(3)重视高质量的研究项目；(4)保持我们在杜兰大学、路易斯安那州立大学和慈善医院之间表现出的互动和富有成效的工作关系的记录。

There is a revised renewal request for the Tulane-Louisiana State University-Charity Hospital GCRC. The initial grant was awarded from 1/14/90 through 11/13/93 during which time the research facility was constructed and research activities were initiated and rapidly expanded. A second renewal request was funded from 12/1/93 to 11/30/98. During this time the Center continued to grow rapidly with numbers of inpatients and particularly outpatients, exceeding those initially projected. The current application is for our second five year renewal. Our specific aims are to: (1) provide a well-staffed and considerably expanded facility that will allow quality inpatient and outpatient care for adult and pediatric patients who are subjects of research projects within the framework of the overall Tulane-LSU-Charity Hospital Medical Complex; (2) to ensure that these projects continue to be performed under controlled conditions and with scientific rigor; (3) to continue support of our Core Laboratory which processes specimens and develops state-of-the-art assays for many of the researchers who use the GCRC resulting in increased scientific productivity and reduced costs; (4) to provide other postgraduate students, medical students, fellows, nurses, and certain paramedical personnel within the Tulane-LSU-Charity Hospital MEDICAL Complex; (5) to have the facility serve as a role model for leveraging new grants and improving quality of patient care by applying the advances resulting from these clinical research projects to disease diagnosis and therapy. Our program will continue to stress the following. (1) a strong interdisciplinary effort by both medical schools; (2) a strong commitment from the Deans of both institutions; (3) emphasis on quality research projects; (4) maintaining our track record of demonstrated interaction and productivity working relationships between Tulane, LSU, and Charity Hospital.
