DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC) at Vanderbilt is one of a network of Core Centers established by the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to conduct research and training in diabetes mellitus and related endocrine and metabolic disorders consistent with the National Diabetes Mellitus Research and Education Act, the report of the National Commission on Diabetes, and the Administrative Guidelines for DRTCs, as promulgated by the NIDDK. The Vanderbilt DRTC is a multi-disciplinary program with 111 participating faculty and staff members distributed among 13 departments in 2 schools and 3 colleges of the University. The Biomedical Research Component consists of a research base of 81 investigators in the following interest areas: Etiology, Gene Regulation/Function, Beta Cell Function/Channel Biology, Complications, Nutrition/Obesity, Metabolic Regulation, Signal Transduction These investigators are supported by seven Biomedical Research core facilities including Hormone Assay, Amino Acid Assay, Cell Imaging, Transgenic Mouse/ES Cell, Animal Resources, DNA Microarray and DNA Sequencing. Research formerly supported by a Model Demonstration Unit-Education/Evaluation component of the DRTC is now supported by an independently acquired research base in the Prevention/Control and Clinical Component. A major focus of this research is the disparity in diabetes care in underserved populations. This research, by 7 investigators, is supported by a Clinical Outcomes and Behavioral Sciences core. Four faculty members from Meharry Medical College also participate in this aspect of the DRTC through a Meharry Behavioral Health Disparities Core subcontract. A Pilot and Feasibility Studies Program provides up to two years of support in an effort to help new investigators initiate their research programs in diabetes or a related area. Established investigators who wish to enter the field of diabetes are also eligible. The Center coordinates three NIH/NIDDK-sponsored training programs that provide education and laboratory training in diabetes /endocrinology to medical students and graduate students and postdoctoral training for MDs and PhDs. An Enrichment Program provides continuing education through a Diabetes Research Day, a seminar series and symposia. The Administrative Component provides both scientific and administrative leadership for the total program.

描述（由申请人提供）： 范德比尔特的糖尿病研究和培训中心（DRTC）是一个 国家糖尿病研究所建立的核心中心网络， 消化和肾脏疾病（NIDDK）进行研究和培训， 糖尿病及相关内分泌和代谢紊乱符合 国家糖尿病研究和教育法案， 国家糖尿病委员会和DRTC管理指南， 由NIDDK颁布。 该范德比尔特DRTC是一个多学科的计划与111参与 教师和工作人员分布在13个部门在2所学校和3 大学的学院。生物医学研究部分包括一个 81名研究人员的研究基地，涉及以下领域： 病因学，基因调控/功能，β细胞功能/通道生物学， 并发症，营养/肥胖，代谢调节，信号转导 这些研究人员得到七个生物医学研究核心设施的支持 包括激素测定、氨基酸测定、细胞成像、转基因小鼠/ES 细胞，动物资源，DNA微阵列和DNA测序。研究以往 由联合国教育、科学及文化组织的一个示范单位-教育/评价组成部分提供支助， DRTC现在得到了一个独立收购的研究基地的支持， 预防/控制和临床组成部分。这项研究的一个主要重点是 服务不足人群的糖尿病护理差异。这项研究，7 研究人员，是由临床结果和行为科学的支持， 核心来自梅哈里医学院的四名教员也参加了 通过Meharry行为健康差异核心， - 是的试点和可行性研究计划提供长达两年的时间 帮助新的研究人员开始他们的研究 糖尿病或相关领域的项目。已建立的调查人员希望 进入糖尿病领域也是符合条件的。中心协调三个 NIH/NIDDK赞助的培训计划，提供教育和实验室 对医学生和研究生进行糖尿病/内分泌学培训 以及对医学博士和博士的博士后培训。一个丰富的计划提供 通过糖尿病研究日、系列研讨会和 专题讨论会。行政部门提供科学和 对整个计划的行政领导。
