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气味与品味中心（UFCST）将为佛罗里达大学（核心中心）的生物医学研究核心中心提供嗅觉和品味中心的基础。 UFCST的现有研究基础设施和环境（包括其人力资源）将纳入核心中心。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的庞大研究基础设施。该提案的目的是雇用一名新教师Cedrick Dotson博士，其资格将增强临床和动物研究中核心中心的科学能力。核心中心将通过在佛罗里达大学建立牢固的联系来为Dotson博士的学术发展做出贡献。 Dotson博士将在神经科学系担任终身教师职位。该部门主席将在核心中心主任的帮助下指导和监视多森博士的学术进步。 P30的奖励将在利用大学的这一职位方面发挥作用，就像许多公立大学一样，该大学正在经受重大，永久削减的国家资金，这些资金减少了新的招聘。 P30在当前的金融危机可能减轻之前将职位“桥接”职位的能力将有助于聘请Dotson博士。核心中心主任将负责评估P30的整体成功并向NIDCD报告进展。公共卫生相关性：气味和味道的感觉在我们的一般生活质量以及诸如痴呆症，糖尿病和肥胖等重要性越来越重要的疾病中起着越来越多的作用。该建议通过提议在佛罗里达大学现有大学的气味和品味中建立生物医学研究核心中心，以研究化学感应缺陷及其在人类和动物中的遗传基础，以建立一个生物医学研究核心中心，以反映出这种意识。
