Center for Translational Neuroscience

我们的总体目标是建立一个永久性的转化神经科学中心（CTN）， （a）为维持和扩大在2000年期间发展的自给自足的研究核心提供支持， 第一阶段和第二阶段，对于继续进行基础、临床、转化和社区研究至关重要。 基础研究，以及B）通过提供 支持试点研究项目以及辅导和培训部分。为了实现这一目标，我们 制定了以下具体目标：目标1：通过支持， 升级和精简三个核心设施。目标2：加强和扩大翻译使命 通过指导有前途的早期职业临床医生和基础科学家进行相关研究， 资深导师。目标3：扩大我们成功的CTN职业发展计划 研究人员和研究所建立了一个新的领导计划和年轻的研究人员，谁将是 以满足特定的性能要求。目标4：支持转化试点研究 尖端科学计划，促进全州范围内和机构内的额外合作，以及 创造机会，发展和保持有竞争力的研究计划。目标5：系统地 收集、分析和使用CTN信息，回答有关项目、核心和政策的问题，特别是 关于他们的效率和效力。一个经验丰富的核心咨询委员会（CAC）将监督 所有核心设施的运营和使用。外部咨询委员会（EAC）将监督 试点研究的科学竞争力和职业发展计划的审查进展， 合作研究。内部咨询委员会（IAC）将监督早期职业生涯的整合 调查员以及与征聘、办公空间、晋升和任期有关的问题。这些目标将有一个 在像我们这样的小机构产生更大的影响，并促进巩固一个成功的， 这将为国家项目树立榜样。我们可能的成功是通过生成 超过3000万美元的新赠款支持和出版超过450篇文章和章节的第一和第二阶段。

Our overall goal is the establishment of a permanent Center for Translational Neuroscience (CTN) dedicated to, a) providing support for maintaining and expanding self-sufficient research cores developed during Phases I and II that are essential for the continuing conduct of basic, clinical, translational, and community based research, and b) sustaining a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment by providing support for pilot study projects, as well as mentoring and training components. To attain this goal, we designed the following specific aims: Aim 1: To enhance the infrastructure critical to the CTN by supporting, upgrading, and streamlining three Core Facilities. Aim 2: To strengthen and augment translational mission relevant research through mentoring promising early career clinicians and basic scientists by established, dedicated senior Mentors. Aim 3: To expand our successful Career Development Program for CTN investigators and institute a new Leadership Program for established and young researchers, who will be required to meet specific Performance Milestones. Aim 4: To support a translational pilot study research program of cutting edge science, promote state wide and additional collaborations within the institution, and create opportunities to develop and maintain competitive research programs. Aim 5: To systematically collect, analyze, and use CTN information to answer questions about projects, cores, and policies, especially about their efficiency and effectiveness. An experienced Core Advisory Committee (CAC) will oversee operation and utilization of all the Core Facilities. The External Advisory Committee (EAC) will oversee scientific competitiveness of pilot studies and review progress of the Career Development Program and collaborative research. The Internal Advisory Committee (lAC) will oversee integration of early career investigators and issues related to recruitment, space, and promotion and tenure. These aims will have a greater impact at a small institution such as ours and facilitate the solidification of a successful and productive CTN that will set an example for national programs. Our likely success is certified by generating over $30 million in new grant support and publishing over 450 articles and chapters in Phses I and II.
