DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado School of Dentistry (SOD) is a regional school with the potential to be a model for research in the field of oral health. In the past three years, SOD has improved its standing in terms of NIDCR research funding from 48th to 24th, and has obtained a construction grant from the NCRR to complete state-of-the art laboratories at the new Fitzsimons campus of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. The school has successfully recruited new research faculty, thereby expanding its research focus in biomaterials, developmental craniofacial biology, cancer biology, salivary gland signaling, and neuroscience. Objectives: SOD seeks NIDCR support to 1) perform a critical needs assessment and 2) to develop a realistic plan to improve the research infrastructure of the school, thereby leading to the creation of a "Center of Excellence" in oral health research in the Rocky Mountain region. The school will undertake a rigorous self-study as pursuant to this RFA. For this purpose, in Part I, it will convene an Institutional Planning Committee composed of research faculty from SOD, the School of Medicine, the school of Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and The Children's Hospital in which the SOD's Department of Pediatric Dentistry is located. The faculty represents diverse expertise in many focal areas of research. The Institutional Planning Committee will be divided into two working subcommittees. One will focus on Basic Sciences and Biotechnology; the other, on Clinical, Behavioral, and Translational research. An External Advisory Committee will be formed from faculty experts in basic science and clinical dental research and administration, industry, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and technology transfer. The committees, working separately and then together, will identify several key research areas of potential success. In Part II, they will determine effective collaborative arrangements within and without the University. They will evaluate available resources to determine the feasibility of specific research areas, and will set goals and objectives for each area. Once final priorities are established and final collaborative commitments are secured, job descriptions for potential new faculty will be created, and the infrastructure improvement plan will be developed.

描述（由申请人提供）：牙科（SOD）的科罗拉多大学的学校是一个区域性的学校，有潜力成为口腔健康领域的研究模式。在过去的三年中，SOD已经提高了其在NIDCR研究资金方面的地位，从第48位到第24位，并获得了NCRR的建设赠款，以完成科罗拉多大学健康科学中心菲茨西蒙斯新校区的最先进的实验室。学校成功招募了新的研究人员，从而扩大了其在生物材料，发育颅面生物学，癌症生物学，唾液腺信号和神经科学方面的研究重点。 目的：SOD寻求NIDCR的支持，以1）进行关键需求评估和2）制定一个现实的计划，以改善学校的研究基础设施，从而导致在落基山脉地区的口腔健康研究的“卓越中心”的创建。学校将根据本RFA进行严格的自学。为此，在第一部分，它将召集一个机构规划委员会，由来自SOD的研究人员组成，医学院，科罗拉多大学博尔德分校工程学院，以及SOD儿童牙科部所在的儿童医院。该学院代表了许多重点研究领域的不同专业知识。体制规划委员会将分为两个工作小组委员会。一个将专注于基础科学和生物技术;另一个，临床，行为和转化研究。一个外部咨询委员会将由基础科学和临床牙科研究和管理、工业、生物技术、制药和技术转让方面的教师专家组成。这些委员会将分别工作，然后共同确定几个可能取得成功的关键研究领域。在第二部分，他们将确定大学内外的有效合作安排。他们将评估现有资源，以确定具体研究领域的可行性，并将为每个领域设定目标和目的。一旦确定了最终的优先事项，并确保了最终的合作承诺，将创建潜在的新教师的工作说明，并将制定基础设施改善计划。
