项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The existing University of Florida Center for Smell and Taste (UFCST) will provide the basis for a Biomedical Research Core Center for Smell and Taste at the University of Florida (Core Center). The existing research infrastructure and environment of the UFCST, including its human resources, will be incorporated into the Core Center. In addition to its inherent research infrastructure, the Core Center has access to the vast research infrastructure of the University of Florida. The proposal is targeted at hiring a new faculty member, Dr. Cedrick Dotson, whose qualifications will strengthen the scientific capacity of the Core Center in both clinical and animal research. The Core Center will contribute to Dr. Dotson's academic development by fostering strong links across the University of Florida. Dr. Dotson will receive a tenure track faculty position in the Department of Neuroscience. The Chairperson of the Department will be responsible for mentoring and monitoring the academic progress of Dr. Dotson with the help of the Director of the Core Center. Award of the P30 will be instrumental in leveraging this position from the university, which like many public universities is undergoing significant, permanent cuts in State funding that have curtailed new hiring. The ability of the P30 to 'bridge' the position for two years until the current financial crisis is likely to abate will be instrumental in the ability to hire Dr. Dotson. The Director of the Core Center will be responsible for evaluating the overall success of the P30 and reporting progress to the NIDCD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The senses of smell and taste play an increasingly appreciated role in our general quality of life as well as in diseases of growing importance such as dementia, diabetes, and obesity. This proposal reflects this awareness by proposing to establish a Biomedical Research Core Center for Smell and Taste around the existing University of Florida Center for Smell and Taste to study chemosensory deficits and their genetic basis in humans and animals.

描述（由申请人提供）：现有的佛罗里达大学嗅觉和味觉中心（UFCST）将为佛罗里达大学嗅觉和味觉生物医学研究核心中心（核心中心）提供基础。 UFCST现有的研究基础设施和环境，包括其人力资源，将纳入核心中心。除了其固有的研究基础设施外，核心中心还可以使用佛罗里达大学庞大的研究基础设施。该提案的目标是聘用一名新教员 Cedrick Dotson 博士，他的资历将增强核心中心在临床和动物研究方面的科学能力。核心中心将通过促进佛罗里达大学之间的紧密联系，为多特森博士的学术发展做出贡献。多特森博士将获得神经科学系的终身教职。系主任将在核心中心主任的帮助下负责指导和监督Dotson博士的学术进展。 P30 的授予将有助于利用该大学的这一地位，与许多公立大学一样，该大学正在经历国家资金的永久性大幅削减，从而减少了新的招聘。 P30 能够在两年内“弥补”这一职位，直到当前的金融危机可能减弱，这将有助于聘用 Dotson 博士。核心中心主任将负责评估 P30 的整体成功并向 NIDCD 报告进展情况。公共健康相关性：嗅觉和味觉在我们的总体生活质量以及痴呆、糖尿病和肥胖等日益重要的疾病中发挥着越来越重要的作用。该提案反映了这种意识，提议围绕现有的佛罗里达大学嗅觉和味觉中心建立嗅觉和味觉生物医学研究核心中心，以研究人类和动物的化学感觉缺陷及其遗传基础。
