DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to fully realize its mission to become a leader in centers of innovative interdisciplinary research excellence and training of oral health scientists, the UIC College of Dentistry proposes to renovate 23,000 square feet of space into up-to-date, LEED-certified research space. The need for renovation is compelling. The College currently has no clinical research space, animal facilities that are filled to capacity, limited core facilities, and lab space that is so limited that faculty cannot grow their research programs. This project will add at least 9,000 square feet of new research space and renovate approximately 14,000 square feet of poorly configured 35 year old space. The scope of this project will include new Clinical Research Facilities, Animal Facilities, Core Facilities, and translational labs for funded investigators. The proposed project will allow the College to recruit and train basic, clinical, and translational scientists into the recently NIDCR-funded T32 (MOST Program); improve Core facility support for existing faculty; increase College faculty's ability to create collaborative projects within the University's newly funded Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS); and speed up scientific progress within existing innovative research areas of Wound Healing, Cancer Biology and Tissue Engineering. The following specific aims have been developed: 1) Develop a new Clinical Research Facility in the College of Dentistry that will interact with and be a satellite of the CCTS; 2) Enlarge and optimize COD animal facilities to more than double current square footage; 3) Develop Core Facilities to enhance interaction among investigators and secure resources; and 4) Renovate laboratories to provide integrated functional space for current and future translational researchers who are developing the three research areas: Cancer Biology, Wound Healing and Tissue Engineering. In addition to green and sustainable principles, the design will increase opportunities for collaboration among faculty by creating new shared Core Facilities, new laboratories with shared equipment and conference rooms. The design scheme employs templates that have been used in the College to renovate previous lab space and therefore, we will move quickly from design to construction. The proposed renovations will help to complete the development of infrastructure in the College of Dentistry to bring these research foci to world class status and result in an estimated 20 new and 30 sustained jobs in laboratories and up to 60 new jobs in planning and construction.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了充分实现其使命，成为创新的跨学科研究中心的领导者，对口腔健康科学家的卓越和培训，UIC牙科学院建议将23,000平方英尺的空间翻新为最新的LEED认证的研究领域。进行翻新的需求是令人信服的。该学院目前没有临床研究空间，容量填补的动物设施，有限的核心设施和实验室空间非常有限，以至于教师无法发展其研究计划。该项目将至少增加9,000平方英尺的新研究空间，并装修约14,000平方英尺的配置不良的35岁空间。该项目的范围将包括新的临床研究设施，动物设施，核心设施和资助研究人员的转化实验室。拟议的项目将允许该学院招募和培训基本，临床和翻译科学家进入最近由NIDCR资助的T32（大多数课程）；改善对现有教师的核心设施支持；提高大学教师在大学新资助的临床与转化科学中心（CCTS）中创建合作项目的能力；并加快了伤口愈合，癌症生物学和组织工程的现有创新研究领域的科学进步。已经开发了以下具体目标：1）在牙科学院开发新的临床研究机构，该研究机构将与CCT互动并成为CCT的卫星； 2）扩大和优化鳕鱼动物设施到多双平方英尺以上； 3）开发核心设施，以增强调查人员之间的互动和安全资源； 4）翻新实验室，为正在开发三个研究领域的当前和未来的转化研究人员提供综合的功能空间：癌症生物学，伤口愈合和组织工程。除了绿色和可持续的原则外，该设计还将通过创建新的共享核心设施，带有共享设备和会议室的新实验室来增加教师之间合作的机会。该设计方案采用了在大学中使用的模板来翻新以前的实验室空间，因此，我们将迅速从设计到建筑。拟议的翻新将有助于完成牙科学院基础设施的发展，以将这些研究重点带入世界一流的地位，并在实验室中估计有20个新和30个持续工作，并在计划和建设方面最多60个新工作。
