JHU-UMD Diabetes Research Center

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案寻求继续资助JHU-UMD糖尿病研究中心（DRC）。拟议中的中心将继续包括约翰霍普金斯大学和马里兰大学的研究人员。这些调查人员在这些机构内部和机构之间的许多部门担任主要职务；虽然他们的科学背景各不相同，但他们对糖尿病和内分泌学研究有共同的兴趣，许多人已经建立了合作关系。该中心的目标如下：1)在一个支持性的环境中促进合作，多学科的糖尿病和内分泌学研究；2)提高现有糖尿病科研人员的临床和基础研究能力；3)鼓励未参与糖尿病研究的研究者对糖尿病和内分泌学相关问题的研究产生兴趣；4)制定、实施和评估为糖尿病患者提供具有成本效益的医疗保健的方案；5)加快基础生物医学和基因研究的进展向临床领域的转化，使它们可以应用于糖尿病患者的诊断和治疗；6)向专业和非专业人员通报糖尿病研究和培训方面的成就、机会和进展。该申请包含六个独立的组成部分：行政管理、生物医学研究、试点和可行性、浓缩、区域共享资源核心、共享研究核心以及将P&F计划扩展到历史悠久的黑人大学霍华德大学医学院。行政部门将负责监督整个中心的运作。生物医学研究部分将由五个核心实验室组成，以促进合作糖尿病研究。试点和可行性组成部分将促进初级研究人员与成熟研究人员在糖尿病相关研究中的参与和互动。该项目将促进约翰霍普金斯大学和马里兰大学之间的互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks continued funding for the JHU-UMD Diabetes Research Center (DRC). The proposed Center will continue to involve investigators from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland. These investigators have primary appointments in numerous departments within and between these Institutions; and while their scientific backgrounds are diverse, they share a common interest in diabetes and endocrinology research and many have established collaborations. The aims of the Center are the following: 1) to foster collaborative, multidisciplinary diabetes and endocrinology research in a supportive environment; 2) to enhance the clinical and basic research capabilities of established diabetes investigators; 3) to encourage investigators not involved in diabetes research to become interested in pursuing problems related to diabetes and endocrinology; 4) to develop, implement and evaluate programs that deliver cost effective health care for the treatment of persons with diabetes; 5) to speed the translation of advances in basic biomedical and genetic research to the clinical arena where they may be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of persons with diabetes; and 6) to inform others in both professional and lay settings of the accomplishments, opportunities and advancements in diabetes research and training. This application contains six separate components: Administrative, Biomedical Research, Pilot and Feasibility, Enrichment, a Regional Shared Resource core, and a Shared Research Core and expansion of the P&F program to a Historically Black University, Howard University College of Medicine. The Administrative Component will be responsible for overseeing the operation of the Center as a whole. The Biomedical Research Component will consist of five Core Laboratories to foster collaborative diabetes research. A Pilot and Feasibility Component will foster the participation and interaction of junior investigators with established investigators in research' related to diabetes. The Enrichment Program will facilitate the interaction within and between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland.
