CLINICAL NUTRITION RESEARCH UNIT

临床营养研究单位（CNRU）的主要目标 在华盛顿大学， 跨学科营养研究，将基础科学 和临床研究者合作。 因为 营养的多学科性质， 学科和资源的最佳利用是必要的，以更好地 了解饮食、健康和疾病状态之间的关系。 通过 提供了一些核心设施，CNRU集成和 协调营养领域的研究活动，并试图 促进新的跨学科研究合作，促进新的 研究活动，改善多层次的营养教育， 有利于患者的营养管理。 这四个核心是： 1），实验室核心，为附属研究者提供费用- 高效的最先进的营养分析，并帮助新的 方法开发; 2）临床研究核心，提供设施 帮助研究者进行临床研究，并提供 病人登记和生物统计单位; 3）营养教育和 信息核心，协调和整合教育活动， 华盛顿大学的各个学院和系，以及 提供一个营养信息网络， 研究人员的研究成果，其他科学家， 公众和媒体;以及4）行政和丰富核心， 负责CNRU的日常管理。 这一核心 还安排了一系列的研讨会，务虚会，并参观 教授，并管理试点和可行性研究， 旨在促进年轻研究人员的营养研究， 更成熟的研究人员新的营养领域。

The major goal of the Clinical Nutrition Research Unit (CNRU) at the University of Washington is to promote and enhance interdisciplinary nutrition research by bringing together basic science and clinical investigators on a cooperative basis. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of nutrition, close interaction across disciplines and optimal use of resources is necessary to better understand the relationships among diet, health and disease states. By providing a number of Core facilities, the CNRU integrates and coordinates research activities in the field of nutrition and attempts to foster new interdisciplinary research collaboration, stimulate new research activities, improve nutrition education at multiple levels and facilitate the nutritional management of patients. The four Cores are: 1),a Laboratory Core to provide affiliate investigators with cost- efficient state-of-the-art nutritional assays and to help with new methods development; 2) a Clinical Research Core to provide facilities and help for investigators with their clinical research, and to provide a patient registry and biostatistical unit; 3) a Nutrition Education and Information Core, to coordinate and integrate educational activities in the various schools and departments of the University of Washington, and to provide a Nutrition Information Network which communicates the research findings of affiliate investigators to other scientists, the public, and the media; and 4) an Administrative and Enrichment Core that is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the CNRU. This Core also arranges a series of seminars, retreats, and Visiting Professorships, and administers the Pilot and Feasibility Studies that are aimed at stimulating nutrition research by young investigators and by more established investigators new to the field of nutrition.
