SPECIALIZED CARIES RESEARCH CENTER

专业龋齿研究中心的总体目标是 多学科研究的发展和成功实施 关于龋齿的病因和预防。该中心将 努力将研究成果转化为有效的龋病预防措施 在人类人口中的活动，通过促进 从实验室到临床的知识，从而改善预防，以及 高危人群冠、根面龋病的早期诊断与治疗 人口。它还将为初级和中级学生提供机会 职业调查员受益于良好的培训环境， 新技术的开发和应用，以及 在以下领域发展和扩大跨学科项目 大学。 该中心将有三个核心：1)管理核心，2) 实验设计和生物统计学(EDB)核心，以及3)龋齿 核心。核心董事将向中心主任负责。一个 督导委员会和外部谘询委员会将向 导演。经济发展局核心将就以下事项提供意见和协助 实验设计和数据分析，并将促进培训 这些区域。龋病中心将提供设施和 进行实验室和临床研究及培训的人员 关于龋齿的问题。研究项目最初包括四个主要项目 相互关联的项目，包括试点研究和“可行性研究”，以 将在以后进行。培训工作将包括正式和非正式培训。 授课、研讨会和研讨会。 该中心将补充学院现有的研究计划，并 为学院和大学提供重要的资源。这个 与龋齿相关的现有计划和设施的组合 研究、基础、实验室和临床支持的可用性、 明确定义的正常和特殊人群的可用性，以及 生物统计学专业知识在校园中的整合代表着一种独特的 一套物力和人力资源。所获得的知识将有所提高 了解龋齿的复杂致病过程 预防龋病的方法。

The overall goal of the Specialized Caries Research Center is the development and successful implementation of multidisciplinary research concerning the etiology and prevention of dental caries. The Center will strive to translate research findings into useful caries preventive activities in human populations, by facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the laboratory to clinic, thus improving prevention, and early diagnosis and treatment of coronal and root caries in high risk populations. It also will provide opportunities for junior and mid- career investigators to benefit from the favorable training environment, for the development and application of new technology, and for the development and expansion of interdisciplinary programs within the University. The Center will have three cores: 1) the Administrative Core, 2) the Experimental Design and Biostatistics (EDB) Core, and 3) the Cariology Core. Core directors will be responsible to the Center Director. A Steering Committee and an External Advisory Committee will advise the Director. The EDB Core will provide advice and assistance with experimental design and data analysis, and will facilitate training in these areas. The Cariology Core will provide the facilities and personnel to conduct laboratory and clinical research and training concerning dental caries. Research projects initially include four major interrelated projects, with pilot studies and 'feasibility studies' to be conducted later. Training efforts will include formal and informal instruction, seminars, and workshops. The Center will complement existing research programs of the College and provide an important resource for the College and University. The combination of existing programs and facilities involved in caries research, the availability of basic, laboratory and clinical support, the availability of well-defined normal and special populations, and the integration of the biostatistical expertise on campus represent an unique set of physical and human resources. Knowledge gained will improve understanding of the complex disease processes of dental caries and approaches to prevention of caries.
