The University of Miami has developed into a major research and educational institution nationally and internationally. The University has in excess 175 million dollars in sponsored research and the School of Medicine over 112 million dollars. In fiscal year 1997, the School of Medicine had over 51 million dollars in NIH funding. A major objective of the school is to promote the interdisciplinary collaborations between our basic and clinical scientists which translate into improved human health. This application is a request for 100,000 dollars toward the purchase of a Shepherd 81-22 Single Source Panoramic Irradiator. This will replace a unit that was initially purchased in 1969 and upgraded in 1987. This unit is not adequate for our research needs because of its high failure rate, prolonged routine irradiation times and the inability to perform high dose irradiations. There are currently 8 NIH funded investigators with over 1,190,083 dollars in direct annual costs and over 5,788,691 dollars in total project direct costs who utilize this equipment. Additionally, because of the age and poor performance of the current irradiator, there are many research projects that we can not initiate.

迈阿密大学在国内和国际上已发展成主要的研究和教育机构。 该大学拥有超过1.75亿美元的赞助研究，医学院超过1.12亿美元。 在1997财政年度，医学院拥有超过5100万美元的NIH资金。 学校的一个主要目标是促进我们的基本科学家和临床科学家之间的跨学科合作，这些合作转化为改善人类健康。该申请是要求购买Shepherd 81-22单一源全景辐照器的要求。这将取代最初于1969年购买并于1987年升级的单元。由于其高功能率，延长常规照射时间和无法执行高剂量照射的情况，该单元不足以满足我们的研究需求。 目前，有8位NIH资助的调查人员，直接年度成本超过1,190,083美元，使用此设备的总项目直接成本超过5,788,691美元。 此外，由于当前辐射器的年龄和表现不佳，我们无法启动许多研究项目。
