Paul Sticht老龄化中心 研究主题包括： 内分泌代谢、心脏病学、肿瘤学、肺病和重症监护 医学、传染病、胃肠病学、肌肉骨骼疾病、 血管外科和流行病学 合作存在于 临床科学和微生物学和免疫学的基础科学， 生物化学和分子遗传学。 在成立50周年之际， 机构准备建立一个GCRC的基础上：1）增加 该机构临床研究的数量和质量; 2）增长 BGSM/NCBH医疗中心作为生物医学研究和病人护理 3）部门和方案之间的密切互动 研究工作;（4）合作的数量增加 基础科学和临床教师之间的课程。 建立 a GCRC对于促进这一领域的进一步学术成熟至关重要。 医疗中心，并在20世纪90年代启动这一GCRC将允许 重新制定基于临床人群的基本 适合新兴生物医学科学的合作研究 21世纪的最高成就

This is a proposal to establish a General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine (BGSM)/North Carolina Baptist Hospital (NCBH) Medical Center. The GCRC is designed to: 1) promote, support, and enhance excellence in biomedical research through the conduct of efficient and productive clinical investigations; 2) provide a nucleus upon which research programs and educational activities can be developed and strengthened; 3) further facilitate interactions between physician scientists and basic scientists; 4) provide a focus which stimulates junior faculty, as well as students, house staff, and fellows-in-training, to include creative clinical research in their career objectives; and 5) serve as an educational resource for training in clinical research. The GCRC physical facility is strategically located and will consist of inpatient beds, outpatient examining rooms, procedure room, core laboratory, metabolic kitchen, nurses' station, conference room, computer room, and offices for program director, associate director, administrator, and head nurse. The center is easily accessed by outpatients, and it is in close proximity to other hospital units. The GCRC will be jointly operated by the BGSM and the NCBH based on mutual commitments and responsibilities; it will be available to all disciplines in the medical center. The initial clinical investigations involve the Departments of Internal Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Public Health Sciences, Biochemistry, and Microbiology and Immunology. The research also involves interdisciplinary programmatic efforts within the institution: The Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University, the Atherosclerosis SCOR Program, the Stroke Center, the Program in Molecular Genetics, the Program on the Biology of Inflammation, and the J. Paul Sticht Center on Aging. Research themes include: endocrine-metabolism, cardiology, oncology, pulmonary and critical care medicine, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, musculoskeletal disease, vascular surgery, and epidemiology. Collaborations exist between clinical sciences and the basic sciences of microbiology and immunology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics. At its 50th anniversary, the institution is poised to establish a GCRC based on: 1) increases in the quantity and quality of clinical research at the institution; 2) growth of the BGSM/NCBH Medical Center as a biomedical research and patient care center; 3) close interactions among departmental and programmatic research efforts; and 4) increases in the number of collaborative programs between basic science and clinical faculty. Establishment of a GCRC is critical to fostering further academic maturation at this medical center, and initiating this GCRC in the 1990s will allow the development, de novo, of a model of basic clinical-population-based collaborative research appropriate to the emerging biomedical sciences of the 21st century.
