DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry is building a comprehensive, cutting-edge research program. As a result of external and self-evaluation, the College has developed an infrastructure enhancement plan which is embodied in the structure of the "Interdisciplinary Research in Cancer Care from an Oral Perspective". Building upon existing College strengths, faculty in this program will collaborate with researchers within the College and University, and with the research community in Chicago, which includes Northwestern University, Loyola University, the University of Chicago, and the US Military Dental Research Institute at Great Lakes. The program will develop research aimed at improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment, quality of life and rehabilitation of the patient with oropharyngeal/head and neck cancers and patients with adverse oral reactions to therapy for cancer in other body regions. The planned enhancements in research infrastructure will build an interdisciplinary team which will make advances in cancer care for a diverse population of Americans by the discovery of new knowledge and its transfer to health care practitioners. The College has assembled faculty from the UIC Comprehensive Cancer Center, College of Medicine, Bioengineering, School of Public Health, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Applied Health Sciences to collaborate in this interdisciplinary research program, which is congruent with the NIH Roadmap model. UlC's senior administration has demonstrated strong support for the initiative by committing more than $2.4 million in matching funds for the U24 grant. The enhancement plan calls for 1) recruiting two magnet and six junior investigators, 2) developing collaborations among scientists from diverse fields, 3) providing faculty development training opportunities for cutting edge research techniques and clinical research, 4) recruitment of a new cadre of oral health scientists. The funding of this proposal would dramatically increase research productivity in the College and significantly improve clinical care of cancer patients.

描述（由申请人提供）：伊利诺伊大学芝加哥牙科学院正在建立一个全面的、前沿的研究项目。根据外部和自我评估的结果，学院制定了一项基础设施增强计划，该计划体现在“从口腔角度进行癌症护理的跨学科研究”的结构中。在学院现有优势的基础上，该项目的教师将与学院和大学的研究人员以及芝加哥的研究界合作，其中包括西北大学、洛约拉大学、芝加哥大学和五大湖美国军事牙科研究所。该项目将开展旨在改善口咽癌/头颈癌患者以及对其他身体部位癌症治疗出现口腔不良反应的患者的预防、诊断、治疗、生活质量和康复的研究。计划增强的研究基础设施将建立一个跨学科团队，通过发现新知识并将其转移给医疗保健从业人员，为不同美国人群体的癌症护理取得进展。该学院汇集了来自伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校综合癌症中心、医学院、生物工程学院、公共卫生学院、药学学院、护理学院和应用健康科学学院的教职员工，共同开展这一跨学科研究项目，该项目与 NIH 路线图模型一致。 ULC 的高级管理人员承诺为 U24 补助金提供超过 240 万美元的配套资金，表明了对该倡议的大力支持。该增强计划要求：1）招募两名优秀研究员和六名初级研究员，2）发展不同领域科学家之间的合作，3）为尖端研究技术和临床研究提供教师发展培训机会，4）招募新的口腔健康科学家骨干队伍。该提案的资助将极大地提高学院的研究生产力，并显着改善癌症患者的临床护理。
