EXTRAMURAL FACILITIES IMPROVED PROGRAM PROJECTS

描述(由申请人提供)： 在国家研究资源中心(NCRR)和国家癌症研究所(NCI)的财政援助下，威斯康星大学医学院将建造19614平方米的建筑，并从其可自由支配的资源中获得大量匹配支持。英国《金融时报》在一个新的IRC中致力于转译癌症研究的空间。该项目的长期目标是加强和发展威斯康星大学综合癌症中心(UWCCC)的跨学科项目，以促进该中心及其成员的翻译研究目标。IRC的设计、位置和预计使用率将为多学科翻译研究团队的形成和运作提供更多机会。该应用程序的具体目标是在UWCCC，IRC塔楼建造一层楼，以容纳由基础科学家和临床研究人员组成的研究人员集群，他们将能够密切互动，将他们的实验室研究成果转化为临床试验测试，专门针对前列腺癌患者的病因、预防和治疗进行研究。通过为来自多个学科的研究人员提供大量的新研究空间，拟议的建设项目将使UWCCC能够扩大其最具生产力的研究计划的广度和范围，并极大地增强其改善其已经出色的研究记录的能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With financial assistance from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and with substantial matching support from its discretionary resources, the University of Wisconsin Medical School will construct 19,614 sq. ft. of space devoted to translational cancer research in a new IRC. The long-term objective of this project is to strengthen and grow the interdisciplinary programs of the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC) to foster the translational research goals of the Center and its members. The design, location, and projected occupancy of the IRC will enhance opportunities for the formation and function of multidisciplinary, translational research teams. The specific aim of this application is to construct a floor in the UWCCC, IRC tower to house a cluster of investigators comprised of basic scientists and clinical investigators who will be able to interact closely to translate their laboratory research findings to clinical trial testing specifically addressing the causes, prevention and treatment of patients with prostate cancer. By providing a significant amount of new research space that allows adjacency for investigators from multiple disciplines, the proposed construction project will allow the UWCCC to increase the breadth and scope of its most productive research programs and dramatically enhance its ability to improve its already outstanding research track record.
