This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Introduction: The Biomedical Equipment Core provides one mechanism to enhance the collaborative efforts within individual research projects, while also acting as a nexus for interaction between members of the various research foci. The Biomedical Equipment Core provides researchers with the equipment and technical expertise to rapidly advance their individual research projects. Methods: The Core houses and maintains a variety of multi-user items of equipment. The Core also provides technical advice and expertise useful to a variety of Center researchers. During this funding period, the Core was to hire a new manager and acquire several pieces of shared equipment. In addition, the Core was to reorganize its existing space in order to optimize equipment use. Results: During year 4 of this project, the Core has undergone some major changes. Following Hurricane Katrina, the research enterprises of the COBRE were moved first to Baton Rogue and then back to New Orleans. In the last year, all of he Core equipment was physically moved to the Medical Education Building, some five miles from its original location in the School of Dentistry. There it has undergone extensive inspection, service and maintenance in order to provide continuing support for our investigators. This has been overseen by a newly hired Core manager, who maintains the equipment as well as provides technical support for researchers. In addition, the Core has acquired and operated two new major instruments, an Atomic Force Microscope and a Laser Dissection Microscope. As the year draws to a close, the Core is being prepared for an upcoming move back to our permanent laboratory space at the School of Dentistry. Thus in year 4, the Core will have been moved and re-organized completely, twice. Discussion: The recent events have required unprecedented changes in the Core laboratories. The expansion of the Center of Excellence in Oral and Craniofacial Biology and the newly established Department of Oral Biology has been greatly enhanced by the existence of centralized Core Facilities. Many faculty and staff are now utilizing its equipment and services, and we anticipate this to increase over the next year. The recent progress of the Core has met with approval from the EAC.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 简介：生物医学设备核心提供了一种机制，以加强个别研究项目内的合作努力，同时也作为各种研究重点成员之间的互动纽带。 生物医学设备核心为研究人员提供设备和技术专业知识，以快速推进他们的个人研究项目。 方法：核心房屋和维护各种多用户设备项目。 核心还提供技术咨询和专业知识，对各种中心研究人员有用。 在此期间，核心将聘请一名新经理，并获得几件共享设备。 此外，核心将重组其现有空间，以优化设备使用。 结果：在该项目的第4年，核心发生了一些重大变化。 在卡特里娜飓风之后，眼镜蛇的研究企业首先转移到巴吞鲁日，然后回到新奥尔良。 去年，所有的内核设备都被搬到了医学教育大楼，距离牙科学校的原始位置大约五英里。 在那里，它经历了广泛的检查，服务和维护，以便为我们的调查人员提供持续的支持。 这是由一位新聘请的核心经理监督的，他负责维护设备并为研究人员提供技术支持。 此外，该中心还购置并操作了两台新的主要仪器，一台原子力显微镜和一台激光解剖显微镜。 随着今年即将结束，核心正在准备即将搬回我们在牙科学院的永久实验室空间。 因此，在第四年，核心将被完全移动和重组，两次。 讨论内容： 最近的事件要求内核实验室进行前所未有的变革。 卓越的口腔和颅面生物学中心和新成立的口腔生物学系的扩展已经大大加强了集中的核心设施的存在。 许多教师和工作人员现在正在利用其设备和服务，我们预计这将在明年增加。 核心方案的最新进展得到了选管会的批准。
