ABSTRACT The overall goal of the Northeast Ohio Alcohol Center (NOAC) is to identify specific molecular targets responsible for ethanol-induced tissue damage, as well as to understand the complex adaptive and maladaptive responses of cells and systems to that damage. This information will enable us to 1) target therapeutic interventions to slow and/or reverse the progression of alcohol-induced tissue injury and 2) develop specific assays that can assess the efficacy of novel therapeutic strategies in relevant clinical populations. The NOAC brings together an outstanding team of interdisciplinary investigators including geneticists, cell biologists, oxidation biochemists, biomarker experts, synthetic chemists and clinical translational investigators. A critical element to leveraging the expertise of our team of investigators is to provide support for pilot projects. Pilot projects bring innovative and promising new approaches to the alcohol field and facilitate collaborations between team members and outside investigators to build onto their existing individual research programs. Pilot projects are supported by our Animal and Cell Models Core and Clinical Core, facilitating rapid progress for investigators new to the area of alcohol research. Importantly, the supportive intellectual environment with broad expertise in biomedical and clinical investigations will allow for the continued development of novel and innovative pilot projects. Therefore, support for pilot projects will likely have a large impact on the progress of research on mechanisms and treatments for ethanol-induced tissue injury. The Specific Aims of the Pilot Projects Core are to 1) Advertise the availability of Pilot Projects and invite pilot projects from faculty at Cleveland Clinic, Case Western Reserve University, MetroHealth Medical Center, Northeast Ohio College of Medicine and National Children’s Hospital, organize their review and ranking, 2) Provide support for junior investigators in implementing their proposals and 3) Monitor progress of Pilot Projects on a yearly basis. Implementation of the Pilot Projects Core will allow for funding of novel and innovative hypotheses with a rapid turnaround from conceptualization to actualization, facilitate collaborations between basic and clinical investigators and provide seed money to test exciting new approaches to understanding pathophysiology of ethanol-induced tissue injury, as well as development of biomarkers for disease progression and susceptibility. Importantly, the Pilot Projects Core will also extend the numbers of participating investigators in the NOAC and continue to build a community able and willing to conduct cutting edge basic and clinical alcohol-related research.

摘要 俄亥俄州东北酒精中心(NOAC)的总体目标是确定特定的分子目标 对于酒精引起的组织损伤，以及理解复杂的适应和适应不良反应 对细胞和系统造成的损害。这些信息将使我们能够1)针对治疗干预减缓 和/或逆转酒精诱导的组织损伤的进展，以及2)开发能够评估 新的治疗策略在相关临床人群中的疗效。NOAC汇集了一支 杰出的跨学科研究团队，包括遗传学家、细胞生物学家、氧化生物化学家、 生物标记物专家、合成化学家和临床翻译研究人员。一个关键因素是利用 我们调查团队的专业知识是为试点项目提供支持。试点项目带来创新和 前景看好的酒精领域新方法，并促进团队成员和外部人员之间的合作 研究人员在现有的个人研究计划的基础上再接再厉。试点项目得到了我们动物基金的支持 和细胞模型核心和临床核心，促进酒精领域新手研究人员的快速进步 研究。重要的是，在生物医学和临床方面具有广泛专业知识的支持性智力环境 调查将使新的和创新的试点项目得以继续发展。因此，支持 因为试点项目可能会对疾病机制和治疗的研究进展产生很大影响。 乙醇诱导的组织损伤。试点项目核心的具体目标是1)宣传可获得性 试点项目，并邀请克利夫兰诊所、凯斯西储大学、 大都会健康医疗中心，东北俄亥俄医学院和国家儿童医院，组织 他们的审查和排名，2)为初级调查人员实施他们的建议提供支持，3) 每年监测试点项目的进展情况。试点项目核心的实施将使 资助新的和创新的假设，从概念到实现迅速转变， 促进基础和临床研究人员之间的合作，并提供种子资金来测试令人兴奋的新技术 酒精性组织损伤的病理生理学研究进展 疾病进展和易感性的生物标志物。重要的是，试点项目核心还将延长 参与NOAC的调查人员的数量，并继续建立一个能够并愿意进行 与酒精相关的前沿基础和临床研究。
