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 关于龋齿的病因学和预防。 该中心将 致力将研究成果转化为有效的防龋方法 通过促进人类活动的转移， 从实验室到诊所的知识，从而改善预防， 高危人群冠根龋的早期诊断与治疗 人口。 它还将为初级和中级提供机会， 职业调查人员从有利的培训环境中受益， 新技术的开发和应用，以及 发展和扩大跨学科的方案内 大学 该中心将有三个核心：1）行政核心，2） 实验设计和生物统计学（EDB）核心，以及3）龋齿学 核心核心主任对中心主任负责。 一 指导委员会和外部咨询委员会将向 导演 教育局核心将提供咨询和协助， 实验设计和数据分析，并将促进培训， 这些地区 Cariology Core将提供设施， 进行实验室和临床研究和培训的人员 关于龋齿。 研究项目初步包括四大 相关项目，包括试点研究和“可行性研究”， 稍后进行。 培训工作将包括正式和非正式的 教学、研讨会和讲习班。 该中心将补充学院现有的研究计划， 为学院和大学提供重要的资源。 的 结合现有的计划和设施涉及龋齿 研究，基础，实验室和临床支持的可用性， 明确定义的正常人群和特殊人群的可用性，以及 生物统计专业知识在校园的整合代表了一个独特的 一套物质和人力资源。 获得的知识将提高 了解龋齿的复杂疾病过程， 预防龋齿的方法。

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.
