RI COBRE: BIOENGINEERING CORE

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 具体目标1：创建一个核心设施，协助所有Cobre科学家设计和实施生物力学测试方法，包括评估关节软骨和生长板完整性以及整体关节功能所需的方法。 具体目标2：提供执行科布雷项目所需的所有生物力学测试所需的资源(即空间、设备和人员)。 具体目标3：建立一个长期平台，加强项目绩效指标、核心主任和与生物力学测试和分析有关的外部资源之间的互动。 具体目标4：将生物工程服务扩展到综合医院和大学社区。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Specific Aim 1: To create a core facility that will assist all of the COBRE scientists in the design and implementation of biomechanical testing methods, including those required to evaluate articular cartilage and growth plate integrity, and overall joint function. Specific Aim 2: To provide the resources (i.e. space, equipment, and personnel) necessary to perform all of the biomechanical testing required by the COBRE projects. Specific Aim 3: To create a long-term platform to enhance the interaction between the Project PIs, the Core Directors, and external resources relating to biomechanical testing and analyses. Specific Aim 4: To extend the bioengineering services to the general hospital and university communities.
