STROKE AND BRAIN IMAGING FACULTY RECRUITMENT - P51 RR000165-49-S2

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 根据我们的P51父母补助金的目标，耶基斯NPRC成功地开发了一个使用非人灵长类动物模型和脑成像技术研究中风和中风干预的项目。该计划的重点是直接关系到我们的P51父母补助金的组成部分，旨在加强适用于解决人类健康问题的研究，即，翻译研究具体而言，要求提供资金，以招聘中风和脑成像研究领域的首席科学家。Yerkes中心在其P51母基金的资助下，基于对非人类灵长类动物的研究，为新兴的中风和脑成像计划（MRI和PET）开发了重要的基础设施支持。此外，我们已经在耶基斯建立了一个活跃的初级研究人员研究小组，他们专注于使用脑成像在非人类灵长类动物中建立中风模型。我们在埃默里大学医学院有许多临床医生，他们积极参与我们的非人灵长类动物中风研究模型项目。此外，我们还与埃默里大学的其他几个成像小组合作。我们已经成功地完成了招聘过程，并相信中风/成像领域的领导者的存在不仅会对我们的研究计划产生积极影响，而且会对我们的研究人员，学生的培训以及我们竞争赠款和奖项的能力产生积极影响。

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. In line with the goals of our P51 parent grant, The Yerkes NPRC has successfully developed a program using nonhuman primate models and brain imaging technologies for studying stroke and stroke intervention. The focus of this program is related directly to the component of our P51 parent grant intended to enhance research applicable to the solution of human health problems, i.e., translational research. Specifically, funds were requested to recruit a lead scientist in the areas of stroke and brain imaging research. The Yerkes Center under its P51 parent grant has developed significant infrastructure support for an emerging stroke and brain imaging program (both MRI and PET) based on research with nonhuman primates. Additionally, we have established an active research group of junior investigators at Yerkes who focus on stroke models in nonhuman primates using brain imaging. We have a number of clinicians in the School of Medicine at Emory University who are strongly engaged in our program of nonhuman primate models for stroke research. Moreover, we link collaboratively to several other imaging groups throughout Emory University. We have successfully completed the recruitment process and believe the presence of a leader in stroke/imaging will positively impact not only our research program, but also our training of researchers, students and our ability to compete for grants and awards.
