项目摘要

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, proposes to establish the Nebraska Center for the Prevention of Obesity Diseases through Dietary Molecules (NPOD) as a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence. NPOD will unite research strengths in nutrient signaling to develop junior faculty talent and utilize novel approaches in discovery-based research and translation to combat the growing epidemic of obesity-related disorders through consumer-friendly and cost-efficient intervention strategies, beginning with a focus on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. NPOD will create a nationally recognized center charged with developing and sustaining a critical mass of investigators dedicated to obesity research and leverage Center discoveries to devise and implement effective strategies for the prevention of obesity-related diseases through the dietary manipulation of nutrient signaling pathways. The Center's goals will be accomplished through three specific aims to: (1) establish an administrative core and programs to support and enhance NPOD research; (2) develop a critical mass of faculty through the support of five thematically linked primary research projects, a vigorous mentoring program for Project Leaders, a pilot grant program, a Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core facility, and a research tool development program in the Core; and (3) increase research capacity through targeted recruitment of researchers in areas key to Center success. NPOD's world-class, multidisciplinary research environment will be instrumental in supporting the development of strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; creating a skilled workforce in a national priority area; implementing techniques for translating discoveries in the laboratory to inform clinical practice and influence consumer behavior; and utilizing innovative approaches to instant sharing of research data and dissemination of recommendations for consumers. NPOD investigators bring the breadth of expertise necessary to accomplish the Center's grand vision and share the common tenant that obesity-related diseases can be prevented through the manipulation of nutrient signaling pathways and that this prevention strategy is attractive and accessible to consumers, thus holding great potential for long-term national impact.

内布拉斯加大学林肯分校与内布拉斯加大学医学中心合作，提议建立内布拉斯加州通过饮食预防肥胖病中心分子 (NPOD) 作为生物医学卓越研究中心。 NPOD将联合研究力量在营养信号传导方面培养初级教师人才并利用基于发现的新方法通过对消费者友好的方式进行研究和翻译，以对抗日益流行的肥胖相关疾病以及具有成本效益的干预策略，首先关注心血管疾病，糖尿病和非酒精性脂肪肝。 NPOD 将创建一个国家认可的收费中心培养和维持足够数量的致力于肥胖研究的研究人员利用中心的发现来制定和实施预防肥胖相关疾病的有效策略通过饮食控制营养信号通路来治疗疾病。该中心的目标将通过三个具体目标来实现：(1) 建立行政核心和计划支持和加强 NPOD 研究； (2) 通过五个方面的支持，培养足够数量的师资队伍主题相关的主要研究项目、针对项目负责人的强有力的指导计划、试点资助计划、分子生物学、生物信息学和生物统计学核心设施以及研究工具核心开发计划； (3) 通过有针对性地招募人员来提高研究能力中心成功关键领域的研究人员。 NPOD 世界一流的多学科研究环境将有助于支持制定预防心血管疾病的战略，糖尿病和非酒精性脂肪肝；在国家优先领域培养熟练劳动力；实施将实验室发现转化为临床实践和信息的技术影响消费者行为；并利用创新方法即时共享研究数据和向消费者传播建议。 NPOD 调查人员带来了广泛的专业知识实现该中心的宏伟愿景并分享与肥胖相关的共同租户所必需的可以通过操纵营养信号通路来预防疾病，并且这预防策略对消费者有吸引力且容易获得，因此具有巨大的长期潜力国家影响。
