DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The LSU -Tulane Center for Experimental Infectious Diseases Research (CEIDR) was established as a NIH-NCRR-supported Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) 1P20RR020159-01 in 2004, as a strategic alliance between LSU Baton Rouge (flagship campus of the LSU System) and the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC). The overall vision of the Center has been to establish a regional center in infectious disease research led by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) collaborating and influenced by the substantial NIH investment in infectious disease research carried out at TNPRC. Recently, LSU-SVM and TNPRC signed a memorandum of understanding for hiring a joint faculty member and negotiations are under way to appoint a TNPRC junior faculty member in this position. After nine years of COBRE support, we are now within reach to realize our goal to develop an interdisciplinary and collaborative program in infectious diseases that addresses fundamental questions about infectious disease agents and their host interactions. CEIDR's strong mentoring has enabled 12 junior faculty during the last nine years to obtain independent NIH funding (Apetrei, Cormier, Batra, Jeyaseelan, Maclean, Kaushal, Macaluso, Liang, Mores, Pahar, Sugimoto, Embers). Additionally CEIDR has recently recruited two senior NIH-funded faculty (Martinez-LSU and Panganiban (TNPRC), while one junior faculty was recruited by NIH for a permanent staff scientist position (Peterson). Inspite of significant progress, CEIDR has not yet become a fully independent center envisioned. Our vision will be realized by completing three specific aims:1)To provide administrative and scientific infrastructure and resources to CEIDR - affiliated investigators through continued support of four essential Cores: Administrative Core (AC), GeneLab Core (GeneLab), Protein Core Laboratory(PCL), Molecular Immunopathology and Microscopy Core (MIPC); 2) promote and evaluate career development and enhance research potential of CEIDR - affiliated investigators; 3)transition CEIDR to a nationally recognized, interdisciplinary Infectious Disease Center of Excellence by strengthening collaborative research and academic relationships between LSU and TNPRC.

描述（由申请人提供）：LSU -杜兰实验传染病研究中心 (CEIDR) 于 2004 年作为 NIH-NCRR 支持的生物医学研究卓越中心 (COBRE) 1P20RR020159-01 成立，作为 LSU Baton 之间的战略联盟Rouge（路易斯安那州立大学系统的旗舰校区）和杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心 (TNPRC)。该中心的总体愿景是建立一个由路易斯安那州立大学兽医学院 (SVM) 领导的传染病研究区域中心，并受到 NIH 对 TNPRC 传染病研究的大量投资的合作和影响。最近，LSU-SVM 和 TNPRC 签署了一份关于聘用一名联合教员的谅解备忘录，并且正在就任命一名 TNPRC 初级教员担任该职位进行谈判。经过九年的 COBRE 支持，我们现在已经可以实现我们的目标，即开发一个跨学科的传染病合作项目，解决有关传染病病原体及其宿主相互作用的基本问题。 CEIDR 的大力指导使 12 名初级教师在过去 9 年中获得了独立的 NIH 资助（Apetrei、Cormier、Batra、Jeyaseelan、Maclean、Kaushal、Macaluso、Liang、Mores、Pahar、Sugimoto、Embers）。此外，CEIDR 最近还招募了两名 NIH 资助的高级教员（Martinez-LSU 和 Panganiban (TNPRC)），同时 NIH 招募了一名初级教员担任永久科学家职位（Peterson）。 尽管取得了重大进展，CEIDR 尚未成为设想的完全独立的中心。我们的愿景将通过完成三个具体目标来实现：1）通过持续支持四个基本核心，为 CEIDR 附属研究人员提供行政和科学基础设施和资源：行政核心 (AC)、基因实验室核心 (GeneLab)、蛋白质核心实验室 ( PCL）、分子免疫病理学和显微镜核心（MIPC）； 2）促进和评估CEIDR附属研究人员的职业发展并增强研究潜力； 3) 通过加强路易斯安那州立大学和 TNPRC 之间的合作研究和学术关系，将 CEIDR 转变为国家认可的跨学科传染病卓越中心。
