 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rapid translation of basic information in cutaneous biology to preclinical studies and clinical practice is becoming a realistic prospect due to the ever-increasing sophistication of basic research on development, regeneration, immunology, and diseases of the skin, together with powerful new technologies for gathering and analyzing genome-wide and population-based data. The overall goals of the proposed Penn SBDRC are to leverage our strengths in basic and translational science and dermatoepidemiology to support outstanding basic research in cutaneous biology and diseases and to promote the critical transition from bench research to bedside practice. To achieve these goals we will establish Resource and Administrative Cores. The Resource Cores are designed to enable and enhance the speed and efficiency of skin research; provide unique expertise and access to cutaneous tissues and specialized reagents; provide guidance on appropriate study design; provide easy access to biostatistical and bioinformatics support personnel; and continuously innovate to maintain our research at the forefront of the field. They are: Core A - Skin Histology and Characterization; Core B - Skin Procurement and Engineering; and Core C - Study Design and Data Analysis. The aims of the Administrative Core are to: provide structure and oversight for the SBDRC; ensure the diversity and success of researchers in cutaneous biology and diseases; attract new investigators to cutaneous research; and foster exchange of ideas, collaboration, and interdisciplinary and basic-translational projects. To achieve these Aims, the Administrative Core will: (i) establish an Executive Committee to provide financial management and oversight; (ii) organize an Advisory Committee of internal and external experts to provide feedback and suggest improvements, and a Diversity Advisory Committee to advise the Executive Committee on strategies to ensure diversity through best hiring and retention practices; (iii) provide administrative support to the SBDRC and Core Directors; (iv) organize specific mentoring programs for junior faculty, senior trainees, women and diversity faculty and trainees, and Core Directors; (v) organize monthly Peer Mentoring research presentations/grant application discussions; (vi) establish a Community Outreach Program to attract students from the predominantly minority Philadelphia school district to the excitement and promise of cutaneous research; (vii) provide Pilot & Feasibility Studies funding to support young investigators, interdisciplinary and/or basic-translational collaborations, and investigators from outside Dermatology interested in skin-oriented research; (viii) sponsor Seminars related to cutaneous biology and disease; (ix) hold an Annual Research Retreat; (x) organize Communications functions including a quarterly newsletter and an SBDRC website to advertise SBDRC seminars and meetings, Core services, and membership information.

 描述（由申请人提供）：由于皮肤发育、再生、免疫学和疾病基础研究的日益复杂，以及用于收集和分析全基因组和基于人群的数据的强大新技术，将皮肤生物学的基本信息快速转化为临床前研究和临床实践正在成为现实的前景。拟议的宾夕法尼亚州 SBDRC 的总体目标是利用我们在基础和转化科学以及皮肤流行病学方面的优势，支持皮肤生物学和疾病方面的杰出基础研究，并促进从实验室研究到临床实践的关键转变。为了实现这些目标，我们将建立资源和管理核心。资源核心旨在实现和提高皮肤研究的速度和效率；提供独特的专业知识并获得皮肤组织和专用试剂；提供适当研究设计的指导；方便联系生物统计和生物信息学支持人员；并不断创新，保持我们的研究处于该领域的前沿。它们是： 核心 A - 皮肤组织学和特征；核心 B - 皮肤采购和工程；和核心 C - 研究设计和数据分析。行政核心的目标是： 为 SBDRC 提供结构和监督；确保皮肤生物学和疾病研究人员的多样性和成功；吸引新的研究人员进行皮肤研究；促进思想交流、合作以及跨学科和基础转化项目。为了实现这些目标，行政核心将： (i) 建立执行委员会，提供财务管理和监督； (ii) 组织一个由内部和外部专家组成的咨询委员会，提供反馈并提出改进建议，并组织一个多元化咨询委员会，就通过最佳招聘和保留做法确保多样性的战略向执行委员会提供建议； (iii) 向发改委和核心董事提供行政支持； (iv) 为初级教师、高级实习生、女性和多样性教师和实习生以及核心董事组织具体的指导计划； (v) 每月组织同行指导研究报告/拨款申请讨论； (vi) 建立社区外展计划，以吸引来自以少数族裔为主的费城学区的学生，体验皮肤研究的兴奋和前景； (vii) 提供试点和可行性研究资金，以支持年轻研究人员、跨学科和/或基础转化合作以及对皮肤研究感兴趣的皮肤科以外的研究人员； (viii) 赞助与皮肤生物学和疾病相关的研讨会； (ix) 举办年度研究静修会； (x) 组织通讯职能，包括季度通讯和 SBDRC 网站，以宣传 SBDRC 研讨会和会议、核心服务和会员信息。
