项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application in response to the RFA-OD-09-005 entitled: "Supporting New Faculty Recruitment to Enhance Research Resources through Biomedical Research Core Centers" is aimed to request support for the recruitment of two additional faculty members in the area of craniofacial regeneration in the newly created Center for Craniofacial Regeneration (CCR) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine (SDM).SDM leadership and center directors have set a vision and outlined a clear path to build our research capabilities with the aim to create a Center of Excellence in craniofacial regeneration. The strategy was developed to build on the existing tissue engineering strengths at the University of Pittsburgh which was lacking a concerted effort in the field of craniofacial regeneration. During its short history, CCR has been growing at a steady pace by attracting faculty from the Schools of Engineering and Medicine to join in the efforts, and by recruiting new faculty. This nucleus developed the current strength in CCR in mineralized tissue and TMJ regeneration. Our original plan was to recruit two more faculty at the SDM with the expertise that compliment the CCR activities and support its overall mission. However, due to the current financial crisis, this effort was placed on hold due to budgetary constraints. In order to continue to build on our initial strength in the mineralized tissue and TM] regeneration, and achieve our goal to become a Center of Excellence for Regenerative Medicine, we must continue the recruitment effort to build a critical mass of faculty interested in craniofacial regeneration and achieve a long term sustainability of this research effort. The funding from this grant will provide such an opportunity to reengage in recruitment activities of two faculty members that we initially planned to recruit prior to the financial crisis. These faculty are instrumental in creating a critical mass of researchers working together on developing craniofacial regenerative therapies and more specifically mineralized tissue and TMJ regeneration. This integrated effort with the Engineering and Medical Schools will culminate in improved ranking and stature of CCR and SDM. This award will allow us to progress toward our goal to establish high quality research programs which will lead to revolutionary approaches to craniofacial regeneration and improved patient care. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We propose to recruit two faculty in the areas of craniofacial developmental biology and smart biomaterials that complement the existing multidisciplinary efforts at the Center for Craniofacial Regeneration (CCR) at the University of Pittsburgh. This will allow us to achieve our goal of becoming a center of excellence that will provide revolutionary approaches to craniofacial regeneration which will lead to Improving human health.

描述（由申请人提供）：本赠款申请响应RFA-OD-09-005：“支持新的教师招聘以通过生物医学研究核心中心增强研究资源”，旨在要求支持招募两名额外的教职员工匹兹堡大学牙科医学学院（SDM）（SDM）的新成立的颅面再生中心（CCR）的颅面再生地区的成员。SDM领导力和中心董事已经树立了愿景，并概述了建立我们的研究能力的清晰途径旨在建立颅面再生的卓越中心。该策略的发展是基于匹兹堡大学现有的组织工程优势，该组织在颅面再生领域缺乏一致的努力。在其短期历史上，CCR通过吸引工程和医学学院的教职员工加入努力，并招募新教师，以稳定的速度增长。该核发展了矿化组织和TMJ再生中CCR的电流强度。我们最初的计划是在SDM上招募另外两名教职员工，并以补充CCR活动并支持其整体任务的专业知识。但是，由于当前的金融危机，由于预算限制，这项工作被搁置了。为了继续建立我们在矿化组织和TM]再生中的最初力量，并实现我们成为再生医学卓越中心的目标，我们必须继续招募工作，以建立对颅面再生感兴趣的重要教师并实现这项研究工作的长期可持续性。这笔赠款的资金将为我们最初计划在金融危机之前招募的两名教职员工的招聘活动提供机会。这些教师有助于创建大量研究人员，共同开发颅面再生疗法，更具体地说是矿化组织和TMJ再生。与工程和医学院的这一综合努力将在CCR和SDM的排名和地位上提高。该奖项将使我们能够朝着建立高质量研究计划的目标迈进，这将导致革命性的颅面再生方法和改善患者护理。公共卫生相关性：我们建议在挑衅的颅面生物学和智能生物材料领域招募两名教职员工，以补充匹兹堡大学颅面再生中心（CCR）现有的多学科工作。这将使我们能够实现成为卓越中心的目标，该中心将为颅面再生提供革命性的方法，从而改善人类健康。
