The major goal of the Clinical Nutrition Research Unit (CNRU) at the University of Washington is to promote and enhance interdisciplinary nutrition research by bringing together basic science and clinical investigators on a cooperative basis. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of nutrition, close interaction across disciplines and optimal use of resources is necessary to better understand the relationships among diet, health and disease states. By providing a number of Core facilities, the CNRU integrates and coordinates research activities in the field of nutrition and aims to foster new interdisciplinary research collaboration, stimulate new research activities, improve nutrition education at multiple levels and facilitate the nutritional management of patients. The four Cores are: 1) an Animal Studies Core, the Physiology Component of which measures body composition and energy expenditure in rodents, and a Genetic Component, which provides geneticallydefined mouse models for use in studies of nutrient-gene interactions; 2) an Analytic Core to provide Affiliate Investigators with cost-efficient state-of-the-art nutritional assays in both human subjects and experimental animals, and to help with new methods development; 3) a Human Studies Core to provide facilities and assistance for investigators with their clinical research, and 4) an Administrative and Enrichment Core that is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the CNRU. This Core also arranges a series of seminars, retreats, and Visiting Professorships, and administers the Pilot and Feasibility and New Investigator Programs. These programs are aimed at stimulating nutrition research by junior investigators and by more established investigators new to the field of nutrition in response to evolving research interests at the University of Washington. This Core also contains a biostatistical component that supports both basic and clinical research. Thus, the CNRU provides facilities and support for the large and varied nutrition research base of the University, which consists of 78 Affiliate Investigators. The major research foci of the University of Washington's CNRU are lipids and atherosclerosis, diabetes and body weight regulation, and obesity, i.e chronic diseases of major importance to the health of the nation. The presence of the CNRU at the University of Washington stimulates not only research, but also educational and clinical activities in the area of nutrition.

华盛顿大学临床营养研究中心的主要目标是 促进和加强跨学科的营养研究，将基础科学和临床 调查人员在合作的基础上。由于营养学的多学科性质， 跨学科和最佳利用资源是必要的，以更好地了解之间的关系 饮食、健康和疾病状态。通过提供一些核心设施，CNRU整合和 协调营养领域的研究活动，旨在促进新的跨学科研究 合作，促进新的研究活动，改善多层次的营养教育， 病人的营养管理。 这四个核心是：1）动物研究核心，其生理学部分测量身体 啮齿类动物的组成和能量消耗，以及遗传成分，其提供遗传定义的 用于研究营养素-基因相互作用的小鼠模型; 2）分析核心， 在人类受试者中提供具有成本效益的最先进营养测定的附属研究者， 实验动物，并帮助新方法的开发; 3）人类研究核心，提供 为研究者的临床研究提供设施和协助，以及4）行政和 Enrichment Core负责CNRU的日常管理。该核心还 安排一系列的研讨会，务虚会，和客座教授，并管理试点和 可行性和新的研究者计划。这些计划旨在通过以下方式促进营养研究： 初级研究人员和更成熟的研究人员新的营养领域，以应对 在华盛顿大学不断发展的研究兴趣。该核心还包含生物统计学 它支持基础和临床研究。 因此，CNRU提供设施和支持的大型和多样化的营养研究基地， 大学，由78名附属研究者组成。大学的主要研究重点是 华盛顿的CNRU是血脂和动脉粥样硬化、糖尿病和体重调节以及肥胖，即 对国民健康有重大影响的慢性病。CNRU的存在 华盛顿大学不仅促进研究，而且还促进教育和临床活动， 营养领域。
