General Clinical Research Center

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份由乔治城大学和MedStar Health赞助的新的普通临床研究中心（GCRC）的M01申请，名为“乔治城大学-MedStar普通临床研究中心”。乔治城大学临床研究中心成立于1995年，并于1999年9月由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助作为一个新的GCRC （M01-RR020359）。由于乔治敦大学的财政困难和教师减员，在2004年第一次竞争性更新时，作出了一项决定，允许国家儿童医学中心成为乔治敦大学GCRC的赞助机构，乔治敦大学作为附属机构。2004年6月审查了竞争性续期申请，并在第二年年底建议对乔治敦大学卫星进行行政审查后获得批准。因此，根据NCRR咨询委员会在2004年审查我们原来的GCRC时的要求，这个M01申请是在乔治城大学申请一个“新的”GCRC。我们提议将我们的名称从之前的“乔治城大学GCRC”改为“乔治城大学-MedStar GCRC”，以表彰我们与MedStar健康系统和MedStar研究所的成功合作关系。本申请首先总结了乔治城大学GCRC自1999年成立以来的历史和成就；2000年与MedStar Health建立战略合作伙伴关系；从那时起，我们在稳定乔治城大学医学中心的研究、教育和临床任务方面取得了成功。然后，我们提出了一个详细的计划，重新建立乔治敦大学-MedStar GCRC，使其成为一个更大的综合区域临床研究网络的核心组成部分，该网络贯穿于MedStar卫生系统的大巴尔的摩-华盛顿特区地区。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an M01 application for a new General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) sponsored by Georgetown University and MedStar Health named the "Georgetown University-MedStar General Clinical Research Center." The Georgetown University Clinical Research Center was first established in 1995, and was funded as a new GCRC by the NIH in September, 1999 (M01-RR020359). Due to intervening financial difficulties and faculty attrition at Georgetown University, at the time of the first competitive renewal in 2004 a decision was made to allow Children's National Medical Center to become the sponsoring institution of the Georgetown University GCRC, with Georgetown University as a satellite. The competitive renewal application was reviewed in June, 2004 and was approved with a recommendation for administrative review of the Georgetown University satellite at the end of the second year. This M01 application is therefore for a "new" GCRC at Georgetown University as was required by the NCRR Advisory Council in the 2004 review of our original GCRC. We are proposing a change in our name from the previous "Georgetown University GCRC" to the "Georgetown University-MedStar GCRC" in recognition of our successful partnership with the MedStar Health System and the MedStar Research Institute. This application first summarizes the history and accomplishments of the Georgetown University GCRC since its inception in 1999; our strategic partnership with MedStar Health in 2000; and our success at stabilizing the research, educational and clinical missions of Georgetown University Medical Center since that time. We then propose a detailed plan to re-establish the Georgetown University-MedStar GCRC as the central component of a much larger integrated regional clinical research network throughout the MedStar Health System in the greater Baltimore-Washington DC area.
