Michigan State University - Life Science Complex: Nursing Research Addition

描述(申请人提供)：由于我们的国家正在努力应对从人口老龄化到护士短缺的医疗保健挑战，越来越需要护士科学家在将成功的研究转化为临床实践方面提供领导。密歇根州立大学的土地赠与使命与护理学院(CON)内强大的研究开发领导相结合，使CON具有独特的地位，能够响应这一需求，为护士科学家做好准备，并提高我们的研究能力。CON拥有美国国立卫生研究院资助、研究生产率和致力于为研究项目建立跨学科研究团队的历史。CON内的研究计划与NIH和NINR的优先事项以及国家优先领域保持一致。CON的两个研究重点领域是：a)慢性病的管理，b)健康的儿童和家庭。这一增建项目的目标是扩大研究空间和设施，以加快学院战略重点领域的研究增长速度，同时整合所有CON空间资源。该项目的一个重要好处是，它将允许护理研究中心(NRC)和教职员工研究办公室从不同地点搬迁到生命科学大楼综合体的一个集中地点。根据国家号召增加护士科学家的产量，并将成功的护理研究转化为临床实践，以造福患者及其家属的健康护理，具体目标是：1)为密歇根州立大学CON现有和未来的教师研究项目提供更大的、高质量的空间。在一个新的3层建筑内的两层(20,906 GSF)将专门用于支持护理研究。这个空间将容纳不断增长的研究团队，促进和提高拨款准备的效率，并增加护士研究人员、初级教师、博士后和博士后学生的合作和指导机会；2)将CON的研究职能搬迁并整合到与生命科学A楼CON主设施相邻的建筑中，以便更好地将学院的研究任务与教育和临床实践任务结合起来。这将最大限度地共享共同资源和产生新想法。护士研究人员致力于进行严谨的研究，以建立患者护理的科学基础，实现护理质量和改善患者结局。临床护士使用这种基于证据的研究来评估、计划和实施患者护理，帮助护士通过在临床实践中使用护理标准来实现护理的一致性。在拟议的大楼内增加研究对于促进教师、博士后和博士后之间的协同发展至关重要，以加快他们的研究计划的发展，使护理学生能够将研究作为职业选择，并将成功的研究成果转化为实践，以促进和提高患者护理的质量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As our nation struggles with health care challenges from an aging population, to a shortage of nurses, there is an increasing need for nurse scientists to provide leadership in the translation of successful research into clinical practice. The land-grant mission at MSU combined with strong leadership for research development within the College of Nursing (CON) uniquely positions the CON to respond to this need to prepare nurse scientists and increase our research capacity. The CON has a history of NIH funding, research productivity, and commitment to building interdisciplinary research teams for research programs. Research programs within the CON are consistent with the NIH and NINR priorities as well as State priority areas. The two CON research focus areas are: a) Management of Chronic Illness, and b) Healthy Children and Families. The goal of this building addition project is to expand research space and facilities to accelerate the rate of research growth in the College's strategic focus areas in conjunction with consolidation of all CON space resources. An important benefit of the project is that it will allow for relocation of the Nursing Research Center (NRC) and faculty research offices from various locations to a centralized site in the Life Science Building Complex. Consistent with the national call to increase production of nurse scientists and translate successful nursing research into clinical practice to benefit the health care of patients and their families, specific aims are: 1) provide expanded, high quality space for existing and future faculty research programs in the MSU-CON. Two floors (20,906 GSF) within a new 3-story building addition would be used exclusively to support nursing research. This space will accommodate growing research teams, promote and improve efficiency in grant preparation and increase opportunities for collaboration and mentorship of nurse researchers, junior faculty, post docs and doctoral students, and 2) to relocate and consolidate the research functions of the CON in a building adjacent to the main CON facility in Life Science A building in order to better integrate the research mission of the college with the education and clinical practice missions. This will maximize sharing of common resources and generation of new ideas. Nurse researchers are dedicated to conducting rigorous research in order to establish the scientific basis for patient care and to achieve quality of care and improve patient outcomes. Clinical nurses use this evidenced-based research to assess, plan and implement patient care, helping nurses to achieve uniformity in care through the use of standards of care in their clinical practice. The research addition within the proposed building is critical to facilitate development of synergies among faculty, post-docs and doctoral students in order to accelerate development of their programs of research, to enable nursing student's desire to pursue research as a career option, and the translation of successful research findings into practice in order to advance and improve the quality of patient care.
