DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is in response to a recent program announcement by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke requesting institutional center core grants to support neuroscience research. Consistent with this program announcement, the current application seeks to create the VCU Neuroscience Center Core Grant to accelerate the research projects of 10 NINDS-funded investigators within the Institution while also making available new resources and equipment to University-wide NIH funded faculty. The current application asks for the creation of four core facilities, an Information Technology and Administrative Core, an Ultrastructural Neurobiology Core, an Imaging and Stereology Core and a Molecular Biology Core. The majority of the requested cores will be built upon the framework of existing cores via the provision of new equipment as well as additional technical help to assure that the cores will run in the most highly efficient fashion, guaranteeing the optimal productivity of our NINDS funded investigators. The proposed cores will support the efforts of 10 investigators whose research efforts focus primarily on either traumatic brain injury or epilepsy. All participating investigators have existing and projected need for the proposed core facilities and their dedicated support staff. The cores as proposed are intended to continue to foster a cooperative and interactive research environment by minimizing facility downtime, facilitating rapid communication of data and information and allowing for the development of new research strategies. The resources requested are intended to upgrade and expand the research capabilities of our NINDS-funded investigators and they are not redundant with the existing core facilities. The identified core directors have the appropriate scientific and administrative ability to lead the four identified cores. Together with the P.I., there is every expectation that they will function in a highly productive fashion, assuring the overall success of this application.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这项申请是对国家神经疾病和中风研究所最近宣布的一项计划的回应，该计划要求机构中心核心赠款支持神经科学研究。与此计划公告相一致，目前的申请旨在创建VCU神经科学中心核心补助金，以加速该机构内10名NINDS资助的研究人员的研究项目，同时也为全校NIH资助的教师提供新的资源和设备。目前的申请要求建立四个核心设施，一个信息技术和行政核心，一个超微结构神经生物学核心，一个成像和体视学核心和一个分子生物学核心。大多数请求的核心将通过提供新设备和额外的技术帮助建立在现有核心的框架上，以确保核心将以最高效的方式运行，保证我们NINDS资助的研究人员的最佳生产力。拟议的核心将支持10名研究人员的努力，他们的研究工作主要集中在创伤性脑损伤或癫痫。所有参与调查的调查员都有对拟议核心设施及其专职支助人员的现有和预计需求。拟议的核心是为了继续促进合作和互动的研究环境，尽量减少设施停机时间，促进数据和信息的快速交流，并允许制定新的研究战略。所要求的资源是为了提高和扩大我们由国家核安全研究所资助的调查人员的研究能力，这些资源与现有的核心设施并不多余。确定的核心主任具有适当的科学和行政能力，能够领导四个确定的核心。和私家侦探一起人们完全期望它们将以高生产力的方式发挥作用，确保这一申请的全面成功。
