GREATER NEW YORK AUTISM CENTER OF EXCELLENCE - CLINICAL CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 为了响应STAART倡议创建卓越自闭症研究中心的号召，我们提议创建大纽约自闭症卓越研究中心(GNY-ARCE)，这将是西奈山医学院、NYSPI/精神卫生研究基金会(NYSPI/RFMH)、多伦多大学和北岸-长岛犹太人健康系统共同努力的结果。该中心将交织临床和研究专业知识，以便为自闭症的潜在机制和治疗提供新的线索。其中心目的将是找到核心症状、潜在的神经生物学机制和治疗之间的联系，以便更好地了解自闭症综合征，并帮助开发新的更好的治疗方法。拟议的三个研究项目将结合遗传学、功能成像和精神药理学的方法来解决这一问题。拟议中的STAART卓越中心的另一个目标是通过跨学科合作影响未来的研究，以及通过定期举行的一系列会议、讲座和会议注入新的观点。同时，我们致力于向公众传播有关正在进行的研究和治疗的信息。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. In response to the call of the STAART initiative to create Autism research centers of excellence, we are proposing to create The Greater New York Autism Research Center of Excellence (GNY-ARCE), which will be a collaborative effort of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NYSPI/Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene (NYSPI/RFMH), the University of Toronto and North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System. This center will interweave clinical and research expertise in order to shed new light on the underlying mechanisms and treatment of autism. Its central purpose will be to find links between core symptoms, underlying neurobiological mechanisms and treatments, in order to better understand the syndrome of autism and to aid in the development of new and better treatments. The proposed three research projects will address this issue by combining methodologies from genetics, functional imaging and psychopharmacology. Another goal of the proposed STAART center of excellence will be to influence future research through interdisciplinary collaborations, as well as the infusion of new perspectives through a regular series of meetings, talks and conferences. At the same time, we are committed to disseminate information about ongoing research and treatments to the public.
