UCHSC DIABETES ENDOCRINOLOGY RESEARCH CENTER

科罗拉多大学健康科学（UCHSC）芭芭拉戴维斯儿童糖尿病中心（BDC）的建立和内分泌研究中心（DERC）汇集了来自不同教师和研究背景的基础和临床科学家的集体专业知识，以提高大学糖尿病和内分泌研究的生产力和质量。通过实施培训和学术充实计划、提供核心设施以及试点和可行性项目计划，将促进研究人员之间的跨学科合作、交流和协作。后者的目的是培养年轻的教师和成熟的研究人员的创新思想，他们希望直接研究糖尿病。所有核心设施将设在BDC，并由BDC成员管理。在UCHSC和国家犹太医学研究中心具有特殊专业知识的个人已被纳入调查人员和顾问，作为一项深思熟虑的战略，旨在为该计划提供进一步的附加价值和成本效益。核心设施的结构围绕现有的专业知识服务或大型仪器，通过增加工作人员和资源，将为最多的调查人员提供富有成效和具有成本效益的资源。提出了五个核心：管理（J. Hutton &G）；Eisenbarth、董事);细胞术（D. Bellgrau，主任）；动物资源（R. Gill & D. Wegmann，导演）；细胞和分子资源（J. Hutton & L. Sussel，董事）和临床研究/信息学（M. Rewers & P. Chase，董事）。他们将被安置在位于UCHSC校园第9大道和科罗拉多大道的现有BDC大楼中2,147平方英尺的批准重新分配的空间中。DERC核心不需要任何大型设备，因为这些都是已经获得的。拟议DERC的两个新特点是“分子床和早餐”实验室，将为内部研究人员提供2-4周的时间，基本或高级分子生物学技术的实践培训，2-4周的内部培训，基本或高级分子生物学技术的实践培训，以及一个转化研究单位，将指导研究人员通过建立临床研究的迷宫。Hutton博士将担任中心主任，Eisenbarth博士将担任中心副主任。将任命一个由四名糖尿病领域知名研究人员组成的外部咨询委员会，负责监督、协助选择试点和可行性项目，并对DERC进行年度审查。糖尿病预防中心的活动将通过糖尿病预防中心网页的直接沟通和宣传，广泛传播给全国糖尿病预防中心、ucchsc、国际青少年糖尿病基金会当地分会或美国糖尿病协会。

The establishment and Endocrinology Research Center (DERC) at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes (BDC) at the University of Colorado Health Sciences (UCHSC) brings together the collective expertise of basic and clinical scientists from different faculty and research backgrounds to enhance productivity and the quality of diabetes and endocrinology research in the university. Interdisciplinary cooperation, communication and collaboration between researchers will be promoted by implementation of programs of training and academic enrichment, provision of Core facilities and a Pilot and Feasibility project program. The latter is aimed at fostering innovative ideas of young faculty and established researchers who wish to direct their research efforts to diabetes. All core facilities will be located at the BDC and managed by BDC members. Individuals with particular expertise at the UCHSC and National Jewish Medical Research Center have been included as investigators and advisors as a deliberate strategy aimed at providing further added value and cost effectiveness to the program. The Core facilities are structured around existing expertise services or large instrumentation which, by addition of staff and resources, will provide a productive and cost-effective resource to the maximum number of investigators. Five Cores are proposed: Administration (J. Hutton &G. Eisenbarth, directors); Cytometry (D. Bellgrau, directors); Animal Resources (R. Gill & D. Wegmann, directors); Cell and Molecular Resources (J. Hutton & L. Sussel, directors) and Clinical Investigation/Informatics (M. Rewers & P. Chase, directors). They will be accommodated in 2,147 square feet of approved reassigned space in the present BDC building on 9th and Colorado Blvd on the UCHSC campus. No items of large equipment are needed by the DERC Cores as these have been acquired. Two novel features of the proposed DERC are a "Molecular Bed and Breakfast" laboratory that will accommodate investigators for 2-4 weeks for in-house, hands-on training in either basic or advanced molecular biology techniques for 2-4 weeks for in-house, hands-on training in either basic or advanced molecular biology techniques, and a Translational Research Unit which will guide investigators through the labyrinth of setting up a clinical study. Dr. Hutton, PhD will be the Director of the Center and Dr. Eisenbarth, MD, PhD will be his deputy. An External Advisory Board comprised of four distinguished investigators in the field of diabetes will be appointed to provide oversight, assist in the selection of Pilot and Feasibility Projects and conduct an annual review of the DERC. The activities of the DERC will be broadly disseminated to the NIDDK, UCHSC, local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International or the American Diabetes Association by direct communication and publicity of the BDC webpage.
