EXTRAMURAL RESEARCH FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GCRC

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请寻求美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的配套资金，以建设物理设施，支持克利夫兰诊所基金会（CCF）的新综合临床研究中心（GCRC）。 GCRC申请于2002年6月提交给国家研究资源中心（NCRR），并于2002年底进行审查。 国家难民地位和恢复委员会咨询理事会于2003年1月23日建议提供资金。 CCF已承诺在克利夫兰诊所医院内提供充足的中心空间，以容纳GCRC。 这个空间是一个住院部，需要进行大规模的翻新，以满足本申请中描述的资助项目的特殊需求。 该建设项目的长期目标是提供所需的基础设施，以支持CCF GCRC内未来的转化和协作跨学科临床研究计划。该项目的具体目标是：1）建造一个实验室区域，以支持各种GCRC研究计划; 2）翻新和装备三个住院护理病房; 3）建造和装备六个门诊检查室; 4）建造办公室和会议空间，以支持GCRC研究功能和患者护理; 5）建造一个程序和恢复区，用于执行非侵入性医学研究程序; 6）建造一个电信室，以支持GCRC的计算机网络需求。 该建设项目的预期成果将是一个集中的设施，以进行创新，合作的临床研究方案，并培养新一代的医生科学家。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks matching funds from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to allow construction of physical facilities to support a new General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF). The GCRC application was submitted to National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) in June 2002, reviewed in late 2002. The NCRR Advisory Council recommended funding on January 23, 2003. CCF has committed ample space centrally located within the Cleveland Clinic Hospital to house the GCRC. This space is an inpatient hospital unit that requires extensive renovation to meet the special needs of the funded programs described within this application. The long-term objective of this construction project is to provide the infrastructure needed to support future translational and collaborative interdisciplinary clinical research initiatives within the CCF's GCRC. The project specific aims are to: 1) construct a laboratory area to support various GCRC research programs; 2) renovate and equip three patient rooms for inpatient care; 3) construct and equip six examination rooms for outpatient examinations; 4) construct office and meeting space to support GCRC research functions and patient care; 5) construct a procedure and recovery area for performing non-invasive medical research procedures; 6) construct a telecommunications closet to support computer network needs of the GCRC. The expected outcome of this construction project will be a centralized facility to conduct innovative, collaborative clinical research protocols and train a new generation of physician scientists.
