DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado School of Dentistry (SOD) is a regional school with the potential for excellence in oral health research. In the past five years, SOD has improved its standing in terms of MDCR research funding from 48th-21st. It has obtained a construction grant from the NCRR to complete state-of-the-art laboratories at the new Fitzsimons Campus of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and an NIDCR R24 award to develop its Infrastructure Enhancement Plan (IEP). The school has successfully recruited new research faculty, thereby expanding its research focus and collaborations. OBJECTIVES: SOD now seeks NIDCR funds to support the implementation of an IEP designed to enhance its research capacity and competitiveness. Part I describes the process by which we undertook an assessment of critical needs. As a result of this self study, we have identified three programmatic areas for which a critical mass of scientific investigators and collaborative partnerships will be created to add depth and breadth to the research endeavors of the school. These areas include: Craniofacial Developmental Biology, Biomaterials/Bioengineering, and Head and Neck Cancer. We are also committed to improving research training of undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students. Our long-term objective is the establishment of a regional Comprehensive Center for Oral Health within SOD. In Part H we describe our Infrastructure Improvement Plan by which we intend to recruit new faculty to the identified programmatic areas, and increase our students' interest in pursuing careers in oral health research. Members of our Internal Advisory Committee (IAC) and External Scientific and Program Advisory Committee (ESPAC) are identified. In Part HI, we describe the methods by which the recruitment of new faculty and training of students will precede. In Part IV we list Letters of Commitment for space and tenure, as well as Letters of Support from our ESP AC to assist us with the implementation of our plan.

描述（由申请人提供）：牙科（SOD）的科罗拉多大学的学校是一个地区性的学校，在口腔健康研究卓越的潜力。在过去的五年里，SOD在MDCR研究资金方面的地位从第48位提高到第21位。它已经获得了NCRR的建设赠款，以完成科罗拉多健康科学中心大学新菲茨西蒙斯校区的最先进的实验室，并获得了NIDCR R24奖，以制定其基础设施增强计划（IEP）。学校成功地招募了新的研究人员，从而扩大了研究重点和合作。提议：SOD现在寻求NIDCR资金，以支持旨在提高其研究能力和竞争力的IEP的实施。第一部分介绍了我们对关键需求进行评估的过程。作为这种自我研究的结果，我们已经确定了三个方案领域，其中科学调查人员和合作伙伴关系的临界质量将被创建，以增加深度和广度的学校的研究工作。这些领域包括：颅面发育生物学，生物材料/生物工程和头颈癌。我们还致力于改善本科生，研究生和博士后学生的研究培训。我们的长期目标是在SOD内建立一个区域口腔健康综合中心。在H部分，我们描述了我们的基础设施改善计划，我们打算招募新的教师到确定的方案领域，并提高我们的学生在追求职业生涯的兴趣在口腔健康研究。我们的内部咨询委员会（IAC）和外部科学和计划咨询委员会（ESPAC）的成员被确定。在第三部分中，我们描述了新教师的招聘和学生的培训将提前的方法。在第四部分中，我们列出了空间和任期的承诺书，以及ESP AC的支持信，以帮助我们实施计划。
