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NIH-NCRR支持的生物医学卓越研究中心(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的旗舰校园)和杜兰国家灵长类研究中心(TNPRC)之间的战略联盟。该中心的总体愿景是建立一个地区性传染病研究中心，由路易斯安那州立大学兽医学院领导，并受国立卫生研究院在TNPRC进行的传染病研究的大量投资的影响。最近，路易斯安那州立大学支持向量机和TNPRC签署了一份谅解备忘录，聘请一名联合教员，目前正在谈判任命TNPRC的一名初级教员担任这一职位。经过Cobre九年的支持，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协作计划，解决有关传染病病原体及其宿主相互作用的基本问题。在过去的九年里，CEIDR的强有力的指导使12名初级教员获得了独立的NIH资助(阿佩特雷、科米尔、巴特拉、杰亚西兰、马克林、考沙尔、马卡卢索、梁、莫尔斯、帕哈尔、杉本、恩伯斯)。此外，CEIDR最近招聘了两名由NIH资助的高级教员(马丁内斯-路易斯安那州立大学和Panganiban(TNPRC))，而NIH招聘了一名初级教员担任长期科学家职位(Peterson)。鼓舞人心的 虽然取得了重大进展，但该中心尚未成为设想中的一个完全独立的中心。我们的愿景将通过完成三个具体目标来实现：1)通过继续支持四个基本核心：行政核心(AC)、基因实验室核心(GeneLAB)、蛋白质核心实验室(PCL)、分子免疫病理学和显微核心(MIPC)，为CEIDR附属研究人员提供行政和科学基础设施和资源；2)促进和评估CEIDR附属研究人员的职业发展，提高其研究潜力；3)通过加强LSU和TNPRC之间的合作研究和学术关系，将CEIDR转变为国家认可的跨学科传染病卓越中心。
