This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lung disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. While all other major causes of death are decreasing, age-adjusted mortality due to lung disease continues to rise. The overall purpose of this COBRE Phase III renewal application is to continue the development of the research program in Lung Biology and Disease at The Vermont Lung Center (VLC) of the University of Vermont College of Medicine. The keystone of the VLC program is excellence. The scientific strengths include airway epithelial cell biology, cystic fibrosis, asthma inflammation, lung physiology, translational animal studies, and clinical investigation into the pathogenesis of lung disease. In the last funding cycle e we have continued to amass a record of productivity including: recruitment of a critical mass of well trained PhD and MD pulmonary scientists, high-impact peer-reviewed publications and continued as well as considerable increase in extramural funding. A critical requirement for the continued success of the Vermont Lung Center is the stimulating environment in which optimal career development can occur. The current goals of the VLC-COBRE are therefore to: 1) Develop the careers of a group of talented MD and PhD biomedical investigators 2) Provide skilled mentoring and consultation on competitive scientific approaches 3) Maintain a "cutting edge" research milieu 4) Develop a clinical studies core, maintain transgenic/knockout animal and small animal phenotyping core, This proposed program will build towards sustainability of the VLC by forming the nexus from which center grant applications will be created. This proposal also addresses the urgent need to expand and support translational multidisciplinary research at UVM, because this is how advances in basic molecular, cellular and genetic science are converted into new methods of diagnosis and therapy. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Lung disease represents a huge burden on society in terms of death and disease. The purpose of this proposal is to further the development of the Vermont Lung Center that supports research into lung biology and disease.

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 描述（由申请人提供）：肺病是美国发病和死亡的一个重要原因。尽管所有其他主要死因都在下降，但肺病导致的年龄调整死亡率却持续上升。 COBRE III 期续展申请的总体目的是继续开发佛蒙特大学医学院佛蒙特肺中心 (VLC) 的肺生物学和疾病研究项目。 VLC 计划的基石是卓越。科学优势包括气道上皮细胞生物学、囊性纤维化、哮喘炎症、肺部生理学、转化动物研究以及肺部疾病发病机制的临床研究。在上一个资助周期中，我们继续积累了生产力记录，包括：招募了足够数量的训练有素的博士和医学博士肺科科学家、高影响力的同行评审出版物以及持续大幅增加的外部资金。佛蒙特州肺脏中心持续成功的一个关键要求是能够实现最佳职业发展的激励环境。因此，VLC-COBRE 当前的目标是： 1) 培养一批才华横溢的 MD 和 Ph.D 生物医学研究人员的职业生涯 2) 提供有关竞争性科学方法的熟练指导和咨询 3) 维持“尖端”研究环境 4) 开发临床研究核心，维持转基因/基因敲除动物和小动物表型分析核心。该拟议计划将通过与中心资助建立联系，从而实现 VLC 的可持续性 将创建应用程序。该提案还解决了UVM扩大和支持转化性多学科研究的迫切需要，因为这是将基础分子、细胞和遗传科学的进步转化为新的诊断和治疗方法的方式。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：肺病在死亡和疾病方面给社会带来了巨大的负担。该提案的目的是进一步发展佛蒙特州肺中心，支持肺生物学和疾病的研究。
