Clinical Neuroscience Core Renovation for Psychology at University of New Mexico

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥州大学（UNM）要求提供资金，将心理学系9,363平方英尺的过时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%的教师将直接受益于改造。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资助的研究。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）促进新的NIH资助的研究项目和早期研究人员的发展。CNC将包括翻新的临床神经科学实验室（儿科和成人EEG，经颅刺激），成像和数据分析中心，与合作机构（如心智研究网络（MRN）），神经心理测试室，协作/计算机化工作区，服务器室和安全数据存储的高速IT链接。CNC将包括该州唯一的立体定向经颅磁刺激（TMS）系统与TMS兼容的脑电图。重要的是，CNC将支持MRN的神经影像和遗传数据与CNC数据的整合，从而为研究人员提供跨研究、模式、站点和学科的大量共享数据。经验丰富的调查人员和新的调查人员之间将有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。UNM是两所大学之一，被指定为卡内基研究型大学，具有非常高的研究活动和西班牙裔服务机构。心理学教师和附属合作者持有27个活跃的赠款和合同，每年总额为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The University of New Mexico (UNM) requests funding to renovate the Psychology Department's 9,363 square foot outdated neuroscience research space into a state-of-the-art Clinical Neuroscience Core (CNC) facility.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.
