DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Starting May 2000 we have been functioning as the Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center (PMBC-I) dedicated to: a) understanding shared psychological, behavioral, and psychobiological pathways that contribute to the onset of and recovery from diverse physical illnesses; and b) providing a training resource locally and nationally regarding mind-body relationships and health. We are now proposing to continue PMBC-II for an additional five years through the "Mind-Body Interactions and Health: Research Infrastructure Program (RFA OB-03- 004)". Based upon our accumulated research experience and accomplishments of the last 3 years, we intend to evaluate further the shared pathways model guiding our PMBC-I work in three ways: 1) unpacking key relevant concepts in the model, decomposing them and subjecting them to more micro-level analysis; 2) testing the influence of the life course on the pathways; and 3) extending the shared pathways model to diseases not already studied in PMBC-I. To carry out this work, we will have 5 research cores that will function in an orchestrated fashion: (A) Administration and Planning; (B) Data Management and Statistical Resources; (C) Psychosocial and Health Behavior Assessment; (D) Sleep Assessment and Resources; and (E) Biological and Biomedical Measurement. To continue our research development and training mission, we will establish three infrastructure components: Innovative Pilot Research; Faculty Development; and Summer Institutes. Addressing the first aim of PMBC-II, an R01-like project (Stress and Brain Pathways to Reactivity) examines the central nervous system underpinning of cardiovascular reactivity to acute stress. The significance of PMBC-II rests upon the realization that many of the key mind-body concepts may be similar across diseases; that there is no home in mainstream health research for cross-disease research because of the specificity of most funding agencies; and that there is a potential for a multiplier effect from understanding shared pathways for explicating other diseases not directly part of the PMBC work. The infrastructure provided by PMBC-II will serve to integrate and promote research on the themes and research questions that the Center is designed to address. Support-in-kind from the host institutions will enable us to leverage the funds provided by the RFA to expand Center activities that would not otherwise be possible.

描述（由申请人提供）：从2000年5月开始，我们一直作为匹兹堡身心中心（PMBC-I）致力于：a）了解共同的心理，行为和心理生物学途径，有助于各种身体疾病的发作和恢复;和B）提供关于身心关系和健康的本地和全国性培训资源。我们现在建议通过“身心互动与健康：研究基础设施计划（RFA OB-03- 004）”继续PMBC-II五年。基于我们过去3年积累的研究经验和成就，我们打算通过三种方式进一步评估指导我们PMBC-I工作的共享途径模型：1）解开模型中的关键相关概念，分解它们并对其进行更微观层面的分析; 2）测试生命历程对途径的影响;和3）将共享途径模型扩展到尚未在PMBC-I中研究的疾病。为了开展这项工作，我们将有5个研究核心，将以协调的方式运作：（A）管理和规划;（B）数据管理和统计资源;（C）心理社会和健康行为评估;（D）睡眠评估和资源;（E）生物和生物医学测量。为了继续我们的研究发展和培训使命，我们将建立三个基础设施组成部分：创新试点研究;教师发展;和暑期学院。为了实现PMBC-II的第一个目标，一个类似R 01的项目（应激和大脑反应途径）研究了心血管对急性应激反应的中枢神经系统基础。PMBC-II的意义在于认识到许多关键的身心概念可能在不同疾病之间是相似的;由于大多数资助机构的特殊性，主流健康研究中没有交叉疾病研究的家;并且理解解释其他疾病的共享途径有可能产生乘数效应，而这些疾病不是PMBC工作的直接部分。PMBC-II提供的基础设施将有助于整合和促进对该中心旨在解决的主题和研究问题的研究。东道机构的实物支助将使我们能够利用外地住房基金提供的资金，扩大中心的活动，否则这些活动是不可能的。
