DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The LSU -Tulane Center for Experimental Infectious Diseases Research (CEIDR) was established as a NIH-NCRR-supported Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) 1P20RR020159-01 in 2004, as a strategic alliance between LSU Baton Rouge (flagship campus of the LSU System) and the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC). The overall vision of the Center has been to establish a regional center in infectious disease research led by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) collaborating and influenced by the substantial NIH investment in infectious disease research carried out at TNPRC. Recently, LSU-SVM and TNPRC signed a memorandum of understanding for hiring a joint faculty member and negotiations are under way to appoint a TNPRC junior faculty member in this position. After nine years of COBRE support, we are now within reach to realize our goal to develop an interdisciplinary and collaborative program in infectious diseases that addresses fundamental questions about infectious disease agents and their host interactions. CEIDR's strong mentoring has enabled 12 junior faculty during the last nine years to obtain independent NIH funding (Apetrei, Cormier, Batra, Jeyaseelan, Maclean, Kaushal, Macaluso, Liang, Mores, Pahar, Sugimoto, Embers). Additionally CEIDR has recently recruited two senior NIH-funded faculty (Martinez-LSU and Panganiban (TNPRC), while one junior faculty was recruited by NIH for a permanent staff scientist position (Peterson). Inspite of significant progress, CEIDR has not yet become a fully independent center envisioned. Our vision will be realized by completing three specific aims:1)To provide administrative and scientific infrastructure and resources to CEIDR - affiliated investigators through continued support of four essential Cores: Administrative Core (AC), GeneLab Core (GeneLab), Protein Core Laboratory(PCL), Molecular Immunopathology and Microscopy Core (MIPC); 2) promote and evaluate career development and enhance research potential of CEIDR - affiliated investigators; 3)transition CEIDR to a nationally recognized, interdisciplinary Infectious Disease Center of Excellence by strengthening collaborative research and academic relationships between LSU and TNPRC.

描述（由申请人提供）：路易斯安那州立大学-杜兰实验传染病研究中心（CEIDR）成立于2004年，是由nih - ncrr支持的生物医学研究卓越中心（COBRE） 1P20RR020159-01，是路易斯安那州立大学巴吞鲁日分校（路易斯安那州立大学系统旗舰校区）和杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（TNPRC）之间的战略联盟。该中心的总体愿景是建立一个由路易斯安那州立大学兽医学院（SVM）领导的传染病研究区域中心，并受NIH在TNPRC进行的传染病研究的大量投资的影响。最近，LSU-SVM和TNPRC签署了一份关于聘请联合教员的谅解备忘录，并正在就任命TNPRC的初级教员担任该职位进行谈判。经过9年的COBRE支持，我们现在可以实现我们的目标，即在传染病领域开发一个跨学科的合作项目，解决有关传染病病原体及其宿主相互作用的基本问题。CEIDR的强大指导使12名初级教师在过去九年中获得了独立的NIH资助（Apetrei, Cormier, Batra, Jeyaseelan, Maclean, Kaushal, Macaluso, Liang, Mores, Pahar, Sugimoto, Embers）。此外，CEIDR最近还招募了两名美国国立卫生研究院资助的高级教师（Martinez-LSU和Panganiban (TNPRC)），而一名初级教师被美国国立卫生研究院招募为长期工作人员科学家职位（Peterson）。就算
