BRAIN IMAGING CORE

引言 脑成像核心是韦斯曼的行为和生物学研究整合的核心 MRDDRC中心。它被提议为新的核心，并在2001年的竞争中首次获得批准 韦斯曼中心MRDDRC更新。然而，在当时，韦斯曼中心的建设 北塔(大脑成像核心所在)还没有完工。自2001年4月以来，核心已经 全面投入运作并实现了复员方案项目数量的快速和持续增长 所支持的服务和提供的服务范围。例如，Core现在的平均薪酬超过55英镑 每周数小时的MRI扫描时间。2001年的P30奖仅限于两年的资助，在 在这段时间结束时，NICHD审查了核心的进展情况，认为它堪称典范。因此， 发放了剩余的三年经费，以及核心预算的一项补充，因为 2001年提交的材料中要求的资金不足以为核心的运作提供资金。这份副刊有 支持继续扩展韦斯曼中心MRDDRC内的脑成像核心。这 申请书的部分描述了核心的拟议目标、现有设施和资源、 核心在过去五年中的显著增长，以及该核心的当前和拟议利用情况。 应该强调的是，与许多其他MRDDRC不同的是，它们访问位于其他地方的成像设施 在他们的校园里，由其他学术单位控制，韦斯曼的大脑成像核心 中心MRDDRC位于韦斯曼中心建筑群内，完全集成在 对MRDDRC行政结构的控制，这使得有可能优先考虑韦斯曼中心 MRDDRC调查人员。

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.
