Clinical Neuroscience Core Renovation for Psychology at University of New Mexico

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥大学（UNM）申请资金，将心理学系9,363平方英尺过时的神经科学研究空间改造成最先进的临床神经科学核心（CNC）设施。根据研究兴趣，该系72%的教师将直接从改造中受益。具体目标是：1)巩固和升级临床神经科学研究设施，从而支持最高质量的nih资助研究。这个新的共享研究环境将容纳目前独立的实验室，并包含更新的设备和IT能力；2)促进美国国立卫生研究院资助的新研究项目和早期研究人员的发展。CNC将包括经过翻新的临床神经科学实验室（儿童和成人脑电图、经颅刺激）、成像和数据分析中心，这些中心具有与精神研究网络（MRN）等合作机构的高速IT连接、神经心理学试验室、协作/计算机化工作区、服务器室和安全数据存储。CNC将包括该州唯一的立体定向经颅磁刺激（TMS）系统，该系统与TMS兼容。重要的是，CNC将支持MRN的神经成像和遗传数据与CNC数据的集成，从而为研究人员提供跨研究、模式、地点和学科的大量共享数据。经验丰富的和新的研究人员之间将产生新的协同和合作机会。这项为期26个月的翻新工程将耗资550万美元。新墨西哥大学是被指定为卡内基研究大学和西班牙裔服务机构的两所大学之一。心理学教师和附属合作者每年有27笔有效的赠款和合同，总额为9,352,426美元。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of New Mexico (UNM) requests funding to renovate the Psychology Department's 9,363 square foot outdated neuroscience research space into a state-of-the-art Clinical Neuroscience Core (CNC) facility. Based on research interests, 72% of the department's faculty will benefit directly from the renovation. Specific Aims are: 1) to consolidate and upgrade the clinical neuroscience research facility and thereby support the highest quality NIH-funded research. This new shared research environment will house the currently independent laboratories and contain updated equipment and IT capabilities; 2) to facilitate the development of new NIH-funded research programs and early stage investigators. The CNC will consist of renovated clinical neuroscience laboratories (Pediatric and Adult EEG, Transcranial Stimulation), imaging and data analysis centers with high-speed IT links to collaborating institutions such as the Mind Research Network (MRN), neuropsychological testing rooms, collaborative/computerized work areas, a server room, and secure data storage. The CNC will include the state's only system for stereotactic transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with a TMS-compatible EEG. Importantly, the CNC will support the integration of MRN's neuroimaging and genetic data with CNC data, thereby offering researchers access to vast amounts of shared data across studies, modalities, sites, and disciplines. New opportunities for synergy and collaboration will result between seasoned and new investigators. This 26-month renovation will cost $5.5 million. UNM is one of two universities designated as both a Carnegie Research University with Very High Research Activity and a Hispanic-serving Institution. The psychology faculty and affiliated collaborators hold 27 active grants and contracts totaling $9,352,426 annually.
