DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To expand the scope of its research programs in neuroimaging and addiction research, the GCRC of the SUNYSB School of Medicine proposes to establish an outpatient GCRC facility at BNL in Upton, New York. BNL is located approximately 20 miles from SUNYSB; the two institutions have had a strong ongoing relationship both academically and administratively. In addition to the expansion of the range of research projects that will be conducted at the GCRC, the establishment of this facility will enable and foster additional collaborative research by investigators at both locations. Further, it will allow access for all GCRC investigators to highly specialized technological resources, including state-of-the-art positron emission tomography (PET) and a high-field (4 Tesla) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. Physical facilities and resources for the outpatient GCRC at BNL would consist of: 1) a Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health and Care Organization (JCAHO) accredited outpatient study unit with a spacious reception area and three recently renovated examination rooms; 2) the recently expanded PET Building which houses two new Siemens HR+ PET scanners, a micro-PET, subject preparation and post-scan discharge areas and hot laboratories; 3) the High-Field MRI Building which contains the 4 Tesla Varian MR whole body scanner upgraded with the Siemens Sonata echo-planar imaging gradient, computer rooms, as well as subject preparation areas; and; 4) a Biostatistics and Informatics Core facility. Program Direction for the proposed BNL outpatient GCRC facility would include: Linda Chang, M.D., as the Associate GCRC Program Director (PD), Gene-Jack Wang, M.D., as the Assistant PD, and the GCRC Advisory Committee (GAC). Both the SUNYSB GCRC principal investigator, Dr. Norman Edelman, and the GCRC PD, Dr. Marie Gelato, as well as the BNL Laboratory Director, Dr. Peter Paul, and the SUNYSB all concur that the establishment of the BNL outpatient facility as an NCRR-supported GCRC facility would greatly benefit the clinical research that is being conducted at both institutions. INVESTIGATORS: Linda Chang, M.D., is the proposed Associate PD of the BNL site. Dr. Chang is currently the Medical Department Chairperson at BNL and a certified neurologist. She is the principal investigator on three NIH-sponsored clinical research studies and co-investigator on others. She will provide general oversight of the BNL and will be the primary contact for the parent GCRC. Gene-Jack Wang, M.D., is proposed as an Assistant PD. He is a PET physician and board-certified in nuclear medicine. He has over 15 years experience in clinical research and is principal investigator of one protocol. He will assist Dr. Chang in administration of the BNL facility. Julia Yang, M.D., M.B.A., is proposed as an Associate Administrative Manager. She has extensive administrative experience in medical research at the university and industry levels. She will oversee day-to-day operations, administer budgets, prepare applications, monitor equipment needs, and oversee all fiscal operations. All staff listed are qualified to run and carry out studies as specified.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了扩大其在神经影像学和成瘾研究方面的研究计划范围，SUNYSB医学院的GCRC建议在纽约厄普顿的BNL建立一个门诊GCRC设施。 BNL距离SUNYSB约20英里;这两个机构在学术和行政上都有着密切的持续关系。 除了扩大将在GCRC进行的研究项目的范围外，该设施的建立将使两个地点的研究人员能够进行更多的合作研究。 此外，该中心的所有调查人员都可以利用高度专业化的技术资源，包括最先进的正电子发射断层扫描仪和高场（4特斯拉）磁共振成像扫描仪。 BNL门诊GCRC的物理设施和资源将包括：1）卫生和保健组织认证联合委员会（JCAHO）认证的门诊研究单位，具有宽敞的接待区和三个最近翻新的检查室; 2）最近扩建的PET大楼，其中包括两台新的西门子HR + PET扫描仪，一台微型PET，受试者准备和扫描后出院区和热实验室; 3）高场MRI大楼，其中包含4特斯拉瓦里安MR全身扫描仪，升级为西门子Sonata回波平面成像梯度，计算机室以及受试者准备区;以及; 4）生物统计学和信息学核心设施。 拟议的BNL门诊GCRC设施的项目指导将包括：琳达常，医学博士，作为GCRC项目副主任（PD），Gene-Jack Wang，M.D.，作为助理PD和GCRC咨询委员会（GAC）。 SUNYSB GCRC主要研究者Norman Edelman博士和GCRC PD玛丽Gelato博士以及BNL实验室主任Peter Paul博士和SUNYSB都同意，将BNL门诊设施建立为NCRR支持的GCRC设施将极大地有利于正在两家机构进行的临床研究。 医生：琳达·张，医学博士，是BNL场地的拟定副PD。 Chang博士目前是BNL的医学部主席和认证的神经学家。 她是三项NIH赞助的临床研究的主要研究者，也是其他研究的共同研究者。 她将对BNL进行全面监督，并将是母公司GCRC的主要联系人。 Gene-Jack Wang，医学博士，被任命为助理PD。 他是一名PET医师，并获得核医学委员会认证。 他在临床研究方面拥有超过15年的经验，是一项方案的主要研究者。 他将协助张博士管理BNL设施。 Julia Yang医学博士，工商管理硕士拟任副行政经理。 她在大学和行业层面的医学研究方面拥有丰富的行政经验。 她将监督日常运作，管理预算，准备申请，监测设备需求，并监督所有财政业务。列出的所有工作人员都有资格按照规定运行和开展研究。
