拟议的沟通障碍核心中心（CCCD）与我们前两个周期的通用核心中心不同，因为它有一个研究基地，包括内布拉斯加大学林肯分校（UNL）和克雷顿大学医学中心（CREighton University Medical Center）以及男孩镇国家研究医院（BTNRH）的教职员工。基地的地理扩展并不一定符合目前的资金水平，也不一定能为任何特定的核心提供足够数量的用户，但它将使我们能够开发一个更有活力、更注重增长的核心中心。我们的目标是实现进一步的扩展，其中包括内布拉斯加大学医学中心（UNMC）和内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校（UNO）的赠款，以及作为未来研究基地的一部分的UNL。更大的，多机构的中心将需要更多的照顾，在中心资源的分配比必要时，核心中心和BTNRH研究计划是同义词彼此和同一个人担任两者的主任。在“方法”一节中，我们概述了研究基地成员和潜在基地成员的资源分配之间的区别，将监测核心绩效和预算的CCCD治理结构，以及必要时进行调整的流程。 我们以往的经验表明，CCCD的现有核心将在提高研究基地的效率和协作方面发挥重要作用。我们可以通过接触潜在研究基地中更大的项目组来进一步提高效率和协作。这将使现有基础上的项目受益，至少与新项目一样多，因为它将扩大开展与沟通障碍有关的研究的项目范围。BTNRH和邻近机构的沟通障碍研究的增长依赖于核心中心的顺利运行。我们拥有必要的经验和各机构之间的联系，以制定确保成功的行政程序。

The proposed Core Center for Communication Disorders (CCCD) differs from our generic Core Center of the previous two cycles in that it has a research base that includes faculty members at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL) and Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC) as well as the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH). Geographic expansion of the base was not necessary to qualify for the current level of funding or to provide a sufficient number of users for any given core, but it will allow us to develop a more dynamic, growth-oriented Core Center. Our goal is to achieve further expansion that would include grants from the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) as well as CUMC and UNL as part of the future research base. The larger, multi-institutional center will require greater care in the allocation of center resources than was necessary when the Core Center and the BTNRH research program were synonymous with one another and the same individual served as director of both. Under Approach, we outline the distinctions to be made between allocation of resources for members of the research base and the potential base, the governance structure of the CCCD that will monitor core performance and budgets, and the processes that will be used to make adjustments where necessary. Our prior experience suggests that the ongoing cores of the CCCD will play a significant role in increasing efficiency and collaboration within the research base. We can achieve further increases in both efficiency and collaboration by reaching out to the larger group of programs in the potential research base. This will benefit the programs in the current base at least as much as it will benefit the new programs because it will broaden the scope of the programs conducting research related to communication disorders. The growth of communication disorders research at BTNRH and the neighboring institutions is dependent on the Core Center running smoothly. We have the necessary experience and ties among institutions to develop administrative procedures that will insure success.
