Enrichment Program

浓缩计划 项目总结 德克萨斯大学西南部NORC的铀浓缩计划的设计考虑到了三个突出的目标。 第一个目标是为德克萨斯大学之间的知识传播和交流提供机会 西南大学学生、首席研究人员和他们的研究团队，以及卫生保健专业人员 对营养学和肥胖症研究以及肥胖症患者的循证临床护理感兴趣。这个 第二个目标是促进德克萨斯大学西南分校营养与肥胖研究人员之间的互动 在NORC资助的其他机构以及没有NORC资助的机构，作为促进 思想交流和合作。第三个目标是让德克萨斯州北部和更广泛的社区参与进来 -家庭和卫生专业人员-努力向他们提供关于背后的科学知识 超重和肥胖，以更好地装备他们以证据为基础的最佳实践战略，以改善 新陈代谢健康，并让他们熟悉德克萨斯大学与翻译肥胖相关的研究机会 西南部。为了实现这些目标，我们的计划将建立以下要素：1)UT 西南NORC研讨会系列，2)德克萨斯大学西南NORC McGarry研讨会，3)课程和 在新的分子代谢和新陈代谢疾病研究生轨道上为学生开设的期刊俱乐部 对营养和肥胖感兴趣的学生，目前由几个T32培训计划资助 校园，4)德克萨斯大学西南部NORC核心设施研讨会介绍，5)社区外展 名为“德克萨斯大学西南体重健康和健康生活方式日”的节目，6)正在进行的播客，7) 保持活跃的和最新的社交媒体存在。这一计划将有助于传播 和知识交流，将增加教育机会，并将提供外联机会 对社区的影响。

ENRICHMENT PROGRAM PROJECT SUMMARY The Enrichment Program of the UT Southwestern NORC has been designed with three overlying goals in mind. The first goal is to provide opportunities for the dissemination and exchange of knowledge among UT Southwestern students, principal investigators and their research teams, and health care professionals interested in nutrition and obesity research and in evidence-based clinical care of individuals with obesity. The second goal is to foster interactions between nutrition and obesity researchers at UT Southwestern with those at other NORC-funded institutions as well as institutions without NORC funding, as a means of facilitating the exchange of ideas and collaborations. The third goal is to engage the North Texas and wider community at large – both families and health professionals – in an effort to provide them knowledge on the science behind overweight and obesity, to better equip them with evidence-based, best practice strategies for improving metabolic health, and to familiarize them with the translational obesity-related research opportunities at UT Southwestern. In order to achieve these goals, our program will institute the following elements: 1) a UT Southwestern NORC Seminar Series, 2) the UT Southwestern NORC McGarry Symposium, 3) coursework and journal clubs for students in a new Molecular Metabolism and Metabolic Diseases Graduate Track and for students interested in nutrition and obesity who are currently funded by several T32 Training Programs on Campus, 4) an Introduction to the UT Southwestern NORC Core Facilities Workshop, 5) a community outreach program entitled, “UT Southwestern Weight Wellness and Healthy Lifestyle Day”, 6) an ongoing Podcast, and 7) maintenance of an active and up-to-date social media presence. This program will facilitate the dissemination and exchange of knowledge, will enhance educational opportunities, and will provide opportunities for outreach to the community.
