GENERAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

杜兰-路易斯安那州立大学-慈善医院（GCRC）有一份修订后的续期申请。最初的拨款从1990年1月14日到1993年11月13日，在此期间，研究设施被建造，研究活动被启动并迅速扩大。第二次延期申请从1993年1月12日至1998年11月30日供资。在此期间，该中心的住院病人，特别是门诊病人的数量继续快速增长，超过了最初的预测。目前的申请是我们的第二个五年续签。我们的具体目标是：(1)提供一个人手充足且规模相当大的设施，为杜兰-路易斯安那州立大学慈善医院医疗综合体整体框架内研究项目的成人和儿科患者提供高质量的住院和门诊服务；(2)确保这些项目在受控条件下和科学严谨的情况下继续进行；(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并开发最先进的分析方法，从而提高了科学生产力并降低了成本；(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)通过将这些临床研究项目的进展应用于疾病诊断和治疗，使该设施成为利用新拨款和提高患者护理质量的榜样。我们的节目将继续强调以下几点。(1)两所医学院强有力的跨学科努力；(2)双方院长的坚定承诺；(3)重视优质科研项目；(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展示的互动和生产力工作关系的记录。

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.
