DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our objective is to enhance the research infrastructure at the UCONN School of Dental Medicine and to become a leader in research in Craniofacial Tissue Repair and Regeneration (CTRR). The Critical Needs Assessment planning process carried out for the past two years led to the selection of the theme of CTRR. The greatest need was for additional research faculty members who would bridge the disciplinary gaps in existing expertise and create synergy to expand and enhance our research productivity. The Infrastructure Enhancement Plan will: a) establish a program in CTRR leading to a department of Regenerative Medicine and Skeletal Development; b) recruit one senior magnet investigator in the School Of Dental Medicine who will lead the effort to develop the new department and coordinate program goals with the Musculoskeletal Signature Program; c) recruit 2-3 additional faculty members to the School of Dental Medicine in CTRR; d) work with the Director of the Musculoskeletal Signature Program to recruit investigators in the School of Medicine whose research is integrated with the goals and objectives of the CTRR; e) recruit 2-3 faculty members with expertise in epidemiology and biostatistics who will support the development of clinical trials; f) enlist established clinical investigators to collaborate with CTRR investigators in the translation of scientific discoveries into clinical applications; g) provide mentored research experiences for existing clinical faculty to enhance research skills to become active collaborators in translational research. Implementation of the Plan will begin with the recruitment of a magnet investigator followed by recruitment of 2 additional faculty members to the School of Dental Medicine in complementary scientific areas, such as craniofacial biology or translational research. A CTRR core lab will be created to support collaborative activities and house shared equipment. The UCONN 21st Century initiative, an infrastructure enhancement program of $297 million dollars over 10 years, will support a new research building and renovation of existing labs to create state of the art research space. Letters of Support from the dean of the School of Dental Medicine, the Vice- President for Health Affairs and the President of the University of Connecticut demonstrate strong support through commitment of faculty positions, space, and equipment. Our vision is to create a rich environment of interdisciplinary research that spans basic, translational and community based research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的目标是增强UConn牙科医学学院的研究基础设施，并成为颅面组织修复和再生研究（CTRR）研究的领导者。过去两年进行的关键需求评估计划过程导致了CTRR主题的选择。最大的需求是将跨越现有专业知识的学科差距弥合纪律处分并创造协同作用以扩大和提高我们的研究生产率的协同作用。基础设施增强计划将：a）在CTRR中建立一个计划，导致再生医学和骨骼发展部； b）在牙科医学学院招募一名高级磁铁调查员，他们将领导开发新部门并与肌肉骨骼签名计划协调计划目标； c）招募2-3名额外的教职员工进入CTRR牙科医学学院； d）与肌肉骨骼签名计划主任合作，招募医学院的研究人员，其研究与CTRR的目标和目标融合在一起； e）招募2-3名具有流行病学和生物统计学专业知识的教职员工，他们将支持临床试验的发展； f）招募既定的临床研究人员与CTRR研究人员合作，将科学发现转化为临床应用； g）为现有的临床教师提供指导的研究经验，以增强研究技能，成为转化研究中的积极合作者。该计划的实施将从招募磁铁调查员开始，然后招募另外2名教职员工到辅助科学领域的牙科医学学院，例如颅面生物学或转化研究。将创建一个CTRR核心实验室，以支持协作活动和房屋共享设备。 UConn 21世纪倡议是一项基础设施增强计划，为10年内为2.97亿美元，将支持对现有实验室的新研究建设和翻新，以创建最先进的研究领域。牙科医学院院长，卫生事务副校长和康涅狄格大学校长的支持证明，通过承诺，通过教师职位，空间和设备来表现出强烈的支持。我们的愿景是创造一个跨学科研究的丰富环境，涵盖基础，转化和社区的研究。
