DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is in response to a recent program announcement by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke requesting institutional center core grants to support neuroscience research. Consistent with this program announcement, the current application seeks to create the VCU Neuroscience Center Core Grant to accelerate the research projects of 10 NINDS-funded investigators within the Institution while also making available new resources and equipment to University-wide NIH funded faculty. The current application asks for the creation of four core facilities, an Information Technology and Administrative Core, an Ultrastructural Neurobiology Core, an Imaging and Stereology Core and a Molecular Biology Core. The majority of the requested cores will be built upon the framework of existing cores via the provision of new equipment as well as additional technical help to assure that the cores will run in the most highly efficient fashion, guaranteeing the optimal productivity of our NINDS funded investigators. The proposed cores will support the efforts of 10 investigators whose research efforts focus primarily on either traumatic brain injury or epilepsy. All participating investigators have existing and projected need for the proposed core facilities and their dedicated support staff. The cores as proposed are intended to continue to foster a cooperative and interactive research environment by minimizing facility downtime, facilitating rapid communication of data and information and allowing for the development of new research strategies. The resources requested are intended to upgrade and expand the research capabilities of our NINDS-funded investigators and they are not redundant with the existing core facilities. The identified core directors have the appropriate scientific and administrative ability to lead the four identified cores. Together with the P.I., there is every expectation that they will function in a highly productive fashion, assuring the overall success of this application.

描述（由申请人提供）： 此申请是为了响应国家神经疾病和中风研究所最近宣布的一项计划，要求机构中心提供核心拨款以支持神经科学研究。与该计划公告一致，当前申请旨在创建 VCU 神经科学中心核心拨款，以加速该机构内 10 名 NINDS 资助的研究人员的研究项目，同时为全大学 NIH 资助的教员提供新的资源和设备。当前的申请要求创建四个核心设施：信息技术和管理核心、超微结构神经生物学核心、成像和体视学核心以及分子生物学核心。大多数所需的核心将通过提供新设备以及额外的技术帮助建立在现有核心的框架上，以确保核心将以最高效的方式运行，从而保证我们 NINDS 资助的研究人员的最佳生产力。拟议的核心将支持 10 名研究人员的工作，他们的研究工作主要集中在创伤性脑损伤或癫痫方面。所有参与的调查人员都对拟议的核心设施及其专门的支持人员有现有和预计的需求。拟议的核心旨在通过最大限度地减少设施停机时间、促进数据和信息的快速通信并允许制定新的研究策略，继续培育合作和互动的研究环境。所请求的资源旨在升级和扩展我们 NINDS 资助的研究人员的研究能力，并且它们与现有的核心设施并不多余。确定的核心主任具有领导四名确定核心的适当的科学和行政能力。我们期望他们与 P.I. 一起以高效的方式运作，确保该应用程序的整体成功。
