Center for Translational Neuroscience

我们的总体目标是建立一个致力于翻译神经科学(CTN)的永久中心 为，a)提供支助，以维持和扩大在 第一阶段和第二阶段对于继续开展基础、临床、转化性和社区活动至关重要 以研究为基础，以及b)通过以下方式维持协作的多学科研究环境 支持试点研究项目以及指导和培训部分。为了实现这一目标，我们 制定了以下具体目标：目标1：通过支持加强对CTN至关重要的基础设施， 升级和精简三大核心设施。目标2：加强和加强翻译任务 通过指导有前途的早期职业临床医生和基础科学家进行相关研究， 敬业的资深导师。目标3：为CTN扩展我们的成功职业发展计划 研究人员并为成熟的和年轻的研究人员建立一个新的领导力课程，他们将 需要满足特定的业绩里程碑。目标4：支持翻译先导研究 尖端科学计划，促进全州范围内和机构内部的其他合作，以及 创造机会来开发和维持有竞争力的研究项目。目标5：系统地 收集、分析和使用CTN信息来回答有关项目、核心和政策的问题，尤其是 关于他们的效率和效力。一个经验丰富的核心咨询委员会(CAC)将监督 所有核心设施的运营和使用。外部咨询委员会(EAC)将监督 先导研究的科学竞争力和审查职业发展方案的进展和 合作研究。内部咨询委员会(Lac)将监督早期职业生涯的整合 调查人员和与招聘、空间、晋升和终身教职有关的问题。这些目标将有一个 在像我们这样的小机构中产生更大的影响，并促进成功和 富有成效的CTN将为国家计划树立榜样。我们可能的成功是通过产生 超过3000万美元的新赠款支持，并在第一和第二阶段发表了450多篇文章和章节。

Our overall goal is the establishment of a permanent Center for Translational Neuroscience (CTN) dedicated to, a) providing support for maintaining and expanding self-sufficient research cores developed during Phases I and II that are essential for the continuing conduct of basic, clinical, translational, and community based research, and b) sustaining a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment by providing support for pilot study projects, as well as mentoring and training components. To attain this goal, we designed the following specific aims: Aim 1: To enhance the infrastructure critical to the CTN by supporting, upgrading, and streamlining three Core Facilities. Aim 2: To strengthen and augment translational mission relevant research through mentoring promising early career clinicians and basic scientists by established, dedicated senior Mentors. Aim 3: To expand our successful Career Development Program for CTN investigators and institute a new Leadership Program for established and young researchers, who will be required to meet specific Performance Milestones. Aim 4: To support a translational pilot study research program of cutting edge science, promote state wide and additional collaborations within the institution, and create opportunities to develop and maintain competitive research programs. Aim 5: To systematically collect, analyze, and use CTN information to answer questions about projects, cores, and policies, especially about their efficiency and effectiveness. An experienced Core Advisory Committee (CAC) will oversee operation and utilization of all the Core Facilities. The External Advisory Committee (EAC) will oversee scientific competitiveness of pilot studies and review progress of the Career Development Program and collaborative research. The Internal Advisory Committee (lAC) will oversee integration of early career investigators and issues related to recruitment, space, and promotion and tenure. These aims will have a greater impact at a small institution such as ours and facilitate the solidification of a successful and productive CTN that will set an example for national programs. Our likely success is certified by generating over $30 million in new grant support and publishing over 450 articles and chapters in Phses I and II.
