DESCRIPTION, OVERALL (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks new funding for a Baltimore Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC). The proposed Center will involve investigators from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland. These investigators have primary appointments in numerous departments within and between these Institutions; and while their scientific backgrounds are diverse, they share a common interest in diabetes and endocrinology research and many have established collaborations. The aims of the Center are the following: 1) to foster collaborative, multidisciplinary diabetes and endocrinology research in a supportive environment; 2) to enhance the clinical and basic research capabilities of established diabetes investigators; 3) to encourage investigators not involved in diabetes research to become interested in pursuing problems related to diabetes and endocrinology; 4) to develop and implement programs for the training of health care professionals in the diagnosis and management of diabetes; 5) to develop, implement and evaluate programs that deliver cost effective health care for the treatment of persons with diabetes; 6) to speed the translation of advances in basic biomedical and genetic research to the clinical arena where they may be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of persons with diabetes; and 7) to inform others in both professional and lay settings of the accomplishments, opportunities and advancements in diabetes research and training. This application contains four separate components: Administrative, Biomedical Research, and Pilot and Feasibility and Enrichment. The Administrative Component will be responsible for overseeing the operation of the Center as a whole. The Biomedical Research Component will consist of six Core Laboratories to foster collaborative diabetes research. A Pilot and Feasibility Component will foster the participation and interaction of junior investigators with established investigators in research related to diabetes. The Enrichment Program will facilitate the interaction within and between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland. Since these Institutions have complementary research interests, the Enrichment Program as well as the proposed Biomedical Research Cores will strengthen collaborative ties between the Institutions. Taken together, these objectives and components define the new Baltimore Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC).

总体描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案为巴尔的摩糖尿病研究和培训中心（DRTC）寻求新的资金。 拟议中的中心将涉及来自约翰霍普金斯大学和密歇根大学的研究人员。 马里兰州。这些研究人员在这些机构内部和之间的许多部门都有主要任命;虽然他们的科学背景不同，但他们对糖尿病和内分泌学研究有着共同的兴趣，许多人已经建立了合作关系。该中心的目标如下：1）在一个支持性的环境中促进协作性的、多学科的糖尿病和内分泌学研究; 2）提高已建立的糖尿病研究者的临床和基础研究能力; 3）鼓励未参与糖尿病研究的研究者对追求与糖尿病和内分泌学相关的问题感兴趣;（4）制定和实施糖尿病诊断和管理方面的医疗保健专业人员培训计划;（5）制定、实施和评估为糖尿病患者治疗提供具有成本效益的医疗保健的计划; 6）加速将基础生物医学和遗传学研究的进展转化为临床竞技场，从而可将其应用于糖尿病患者的诊断和治疗;以及7）告知其他专业和非专业人士糖尿病研究和培训的成就，机会和进展。该应用程序包含四个独立的组件：行政，生物医学研究，试点和可行性和丰富性。行政部门将负责监督整个中心的运作。生物医学研究部分将由六个核心实验室组成，以促进糖尿病合作研究。试点和可行性部分将促进初级研究者与糖尿病相关研究中的资深研究者的参与和互动。丰富计划将促进约翰霍普金斯大学和马里兰州大学内部和之间的互动。由于这些机构有互补的研究兴趣，丰富计划以及拟议的生物医学研究核心将加强机构之间的合作关系。总之，这些目标和组成部分定义了新的巴尔的摩糖尿病研究和培训中心（DRTC）。
