BRAIN IMAGING CORE

介绍 大脑成像核心是韦斯曼行为和生物研究整合的核心 中心MRDDRC。它被提议作为一个新的核心，并在2001年的竞争性 Waisman Center MRDDRC的更新然而，在那个时候，魏斯曼中心的建设 北塔（脑成像核心所在）尚未完工。自2001年4月以来， 已全面投入运作，并实现了农村发展、民主与和解委员会项目数量的快速和持续增长 提供的支持和服务范围。例如，核心现在平均支付超过55美元， MRI扫描时间/周。2001年P30对这一核心的奖励仅限于两年的资助， 在此期间结束时，国家排雷中心审查了核心小组的进展情况，并认为其堪称典范。因此 其余三年的资金，以及对核心预算的补充，因为 2001年提交的报告中要求的资金不足以为核心的运作提供资金。补充有 支持继续扩大韦斯曼中心MRDDRC内的脑成像核心。这 申请书的一节描述了核心的拟议目标、现有设施和资源、 核心资源在过去五年中的急剧增长，以及该核心资源目前和拟议的利用情况。 应该强调的是，与许多其他的监测、复员和重返社会中心不同， 在他们的校园里，由其他学术单位控制， 中心MRDDRC是设在韦斯曼中心复杂，并完全融入和下 控制MRDDRC的行政结构，使其能够优先考虑魏斯曼中心 MRDDRC调查员。

INTRODUCTION The Brain Imaging Core is central to the integration of behavioral and biological research at the Waisman Center MRDDRC. It was proposed as a new Core and approved for the first time in the 2001 competitive renewal of the Waisman Center MRDDRC. At that time, however, the construction of the Waisman Center's North Tower (which houses the Brain Imaging Core) was not yet completed. Since April 2001, the Core has become fully operational and has achieved rapid and sustained growth in the number of MRDDRC projects supported and the range of services provided. For example, the Core is now averaging more than 55 paid hours of MRI scanning time/week. The 2001 P30 award for this Core was limited to two years of funding, at the end of which time the Core's progress was reviewed by NICHD and found to be exemplary. Therefore, the remaining three years of funding were awarded, as well as a supplement to the Core's budget because the funds requested in the 2001 submission were insufficient to fund the Core's operation. The supplement has supported the continued expansion of the Brain Imaging Core within the Waisman Center MRDDRC. This section of the application describes the Core's proposed objectives, the existing facilities and resources, the dramatic growth of the Core over the past five years, and current and proposed utilization of this Core. It should be emphasized that unlike many other MRDDRCs, which access imaging facilities located elsewhere on their campuses and which are controlled by other academic units, the Brain Imaging Core of the Waisman Center MRDDRC is housed within the Waisman Center complex and is fully integrated into and under the control of the MRDDRC administrative structure, which makes it possible to give priority to Waisman Center MRDDRC investigators.
