RI COBRE: BIOENGINEERING CORE

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。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 具体目标1：创建一个核心设施，帮助所有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。 具体目标二：提供执行COBRE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PI、核心总监和与生物力学测试和分析相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. 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. 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.
