DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is presented on behalf of the Mouse Metabolic and Phenotyping Center (MMPC) network () and its Advisory Committee. The MMPC network groups five Centers (located at Case Western Reserve University, University of Cincinnati, University of Texas SouthWestern, University of Washington, Vanderbilt University, Yale University) and a Coordinating and Bioinformatics Unit (located at the Medical College of Georgia). The goal of this five-year project is to expand the educational and training activities of the MMPC network by organizing a series of courses and hand-on workshops on the use of isotopic techniques for metabolic investigations. Although the MMPC network was created to provide phenotyping testing in mice, it is integrated in the wider research and training activities of NIDDK, NHLBI and the NIH. Therefore, the scope of the planned courses and workshops on isotope technology will not be limited to investigations of mouse metabolism. The faculty who will run the courses and workshops have wide expertise in the use of isotopes for metabolic studies in animals and humans. They are also involved in the development of new isotopic, metabolomic and proteomic techniques which will allow major expansion of metabolic investigations conducted from the mouse to the bedside. This project builds on the teaching and training expertise of Dr Robert R. Wolfe, a member of the MMPC External Advisory Committee. Dr Wolfe has created in 1992, and taught eight times with colleagues, a course on the use of isotopes for metabolic studies. This course drew trainees from all over the United States. In October 2007, Dr Wolfe and MMPC faculty joined forces to teach a new version of the isotope course. This new course, which was very well received by about 80 trainees, is the template for the courses to be taught under the present application. In addition, we plan to conduct each year one specialized hand-on workshop in the laboratory of a member of the course faculty.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该应用代表小鼠代谢和表型中心（MMPC）网络（）及其咨询委员会提出。 MMPC网络组五个中心（位于辛辛那提大学凯斯西部储备大学，德克萨斯大学西南大学，华盛顿大学，范德比尔特大学，耶鲁大学）和一个协调和生物信息学部（位于乔治亚医学院）。 这个五年项目的目标是通过组织一系列课程和有关使用同位素技术进行代谢研究的课程和手工启动研讨会，扩大MMPC网络的教育和培训活动。尽管创建了MMPC网络是为了在小鼠中提供表型测试，但它仍集成在NIDDK，NHLBI和NIH的更广泛的研究和培训活动中。因此，关于同位素技术的计划课程和研讨会的范围将不仅限于对小鼠代谢的研究。将在课程和讲习班的教职员工使用同位素用于动物和人类代谢研究方面具有广泛的专业知识。他们还参与了新的同位素，代谢组和蛋白质组学技术的发展，这将允许大量扩展从小鼠进行的代谢研究。 该项目以MMPC外部咨询委员会成员Robert R. Wolfe博士的教学和培训专业知识为基础。沃尔夫（Wolfe）博士于1992年成立，并与同事们教了八次，这是一门用于代谢研究的课程。该课程吸引了来自美国各地的学员。 2007年10月，Wolfe博士和MMPC教师联手教授了同位素课程的新版本。这门新课程受到了大约80名学员的好评，是本申请中要教的课程的模板。此外，我们计划每年在课程教师的实验室中进行一个专门的手工研讨会。
