Enrichment Program

项目总结/摘要（ENRICHMENT彭宁顿/LOUISANA NORC） 浓缩方案开展的活动支持彭宁顿/路易斯安那州NORC的使命， 旨在“促进和促进合作和多学科的互动， 研究思路，并加强将基础营养研究成果转化为临床研究竞技场 并最终进入临床应用”。它提供了机会，促进多学科的办法， 营养/肥胖研究，并吸引新的研究人员或具有相关专业知识的研究人员到该领域。的 该计划通过以下方式实现这一目标：1）改善NORC成员之间的沟通，2）监控 研究人员参与与NORC赠款相关的丰富活动，3）提高认识 NORC和传播有关其研究成果的信息给其他科学家，卫生保健 专业人员和社区，以及4）协调吸引杰出营养科学家的活动， 彭宁顿生物医学和路易斯安那州。为了最大限度地利用培训和丰富资源，我们的计划 与其他NIH赞助的研究和培训小组在路易斯安那州（路易斯安那州临床和 转化科学中心，彭宁顿生物医学卓越生物医学研究中心和两个T32 博士后培训赠款）。该计划由Leanne Redman博士指导，他是副执行官 彭宁顿生物医学科学教育主任和肥胖培训联合项目主任 研究T32。丰富计划致力于专门迎合包括NORC在内的5个独特群体 成员、参与院校的教职员、博士后和学生，以及业外人士。着力 在全州范围内推广，为当前和未来的营养/肥胖提供丰富的机会。 多个职业层次的研究人员，包括NORC成员科学家，路易斯安那大学的教师， 医学院、博士后研究员、研究生和本科生以及医科学生。各种 评价的活动将用于提供丰富的机会。我们新的年度计划包括旅行 路易斯安那州/彭宁顿NORC路演“肥胖日”，赞助研讨会和访问科学家，提供 网络研讨会和现场培训课程，教授分子和临床营养学的研究生课程， 本科生实习，NIH资助的肥胖研究博士后培训项目 （T32 DK 064584 -16;最近更新至2024年5月）。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT (ENRICHMENT PENNINGTON/LOUISIANA NORC) The Enrichment Program conducts activities that support the mission of the Pennington/Louisiana NORC and are designed “to facilitate and promote collaborative and multidisciplinary interactions that will foster new research ideas and enhance the translation of basic nutritional research findings into the clinical-research arena and ultimately into clinical application”. It provides opportunities to foster multidisciplinary approaches to nutrition/obesity research and to attract new investigators or investigators with relevant expertise to the field. The program accomplishes this by 1) improving communication among NORC members, 2) monitoring the participation of investigators in enrichment activities associated with the NORC grant, 3) promoting awareness of the NORC and disseminating information about its research findings to other scientists, health care professionals and the community, and 4) coordinating events that attract distinguished nutritional scientists to Pennington Biomedical and Louisiana. To maximize resources for training and enrichment, our program dovetails with other NIH-sponsored research and training groups in Louisiana (The Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science Center, Pennington Biomedical’s Center of Biomedical Research Excellence and two T32 Postdoctoral Training Grants). The program is directed by Dr. Leanne Redman who is the Associate Executive Director for Scientific Education at Pennington Biomedical and Co-Program Director of the Training in Obesity Research T32. The enrichment program strives to specifically cater to 5 unique groups including NORC members, the participating institutions’ faculty, postdocs and students, and the lay community. Efforts will be made to reach out across the state and to provide enrichment opportunities for current and future nutrition/obesity researchers at multiple career levels including NORC member scientists, faculty from Louisiana universities and medical schools, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, and medical students. A variety of evaluated activities will be used to deliver enrichment opportunities. Our new annual initiatives include a traveling Louisiana/Pennington NORC roadshow “Obesity Day”, sponsoring seminars and visiting scientists, providing webinars and on-site training courses, teaching graduate courses in molecular and clinical nutrition and providing undergraduate student internships, a NIH-funded postdoctoral training program in obesity research (T32DK064584-16; recently renewed through May 2024).
