项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The existing University of Florida Center for Smell and Taste (UFCST) will provide the basis for a Biomedical Research Core Center for Smell and Taste at the University of Florida (Core Center). The existing research infrastructure and environment of the UFCST, including its human resources, will be incorporated into the Core Center. In addition to its inherent research infrastructure, the Core Center has access to the vast research infrastructure of the University of Florida. The proposal is targeted at hiring a new faculty member, Dr. Cedrick Dotson, whose qualifications will strengthen the scientific capacity of the Core Center in both clinical and animal research. The Core Center will contribute to Dr. Dotson's academic development by fostering strong links across the University of Florida. Dr. Dotson will receive a tenure track faculty position in the Department of Neuroscience. The Chairperson of the Department will be responsible for mentoring and monitoring the academic progress of Dr. Dotson with the help of the Director of the Core Center. Award of the P30 will be instrumental in leveraging this position from the university, which like many public universities is undergoing significant, permanent cuts in State funding that have curtailed new hiring. The ability of the P30 to 'bridge' the position for two years until the current financial crisis is likely to abate will be instrumental in the ability to hire Dr. Dotson. The Director of the Core Center will be responsible for evaluating the overall success of the P30 and reporting progress to the NIDCD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The senses of smell and taste play an increasingly appreciated role in our general quality of life as well as in diseases of growing importance such as dementia, diabetes, and obesity. This proposal reflects this awareness by proposing to establish a Biomedical Research Core Center for Smell and Taste around the existing University of Florida Center for Smell and Taste to study chemosensory deficits and their genetic basis in humans and animals.

描述（由申请人提供）：现有的佛罗里达大学味觉与味觉中心（UFCST）将为佛罗里达大学（核心中心）的味觉与味觉生物医学研究核心中心提供基础。UFCST现有的研究基础设施和环境，包括其人力资源，将被纳入核心中心。除了固有的研究基础设施外，核心中心还可以使用佛罗里达大学庞大的研究基础设施。Cedrick Dotson博士，其资格将加强核心中心在临床和动物研究方面的科学能力。核心中心将通过促进整个佛罗里达大学的紧密联系，为Dotson博士的学术发展做出贡献。Dotson博士将在神经科学系获得终身教职。该部门的主席将负责指导和监测博士的学术进展Dotson与核心中心主任的帮助。P30的授予将有助于利用大学的这一职位，像许多公立大学一样，大学正在经历国家资金的重大、永久性削减，从而减少了新的招聘。P30在目前的金融危机可能减弱之前，能够在两年内“弥合”这一职位，这将有助于聘请Dotson博士。核心中心主任将负责评估P30的总体成功情况，并向NIDCD报告进展情况。公共卫生相关性：嗅觉和味觉在我们的一般生活质量以及越来越重要的疾病（如痴呆症，糖尿病和肥胖症）中发挥着越来越重要的作用。该提案反映了这种意识，建议在现有的佛罗里达大学味觉和味觉中心周围建立一个味觉和味觉生物医学研究核心中心，以研究人类和动物的化学感觉缺陷及其遗传基础。
