Phase III of the Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) on Obesity and Cardiovascular Diseases (COCVD) will further develop and expand upon obesity as an underlying risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Each of these diseases are rampant in Kentucky, and obesity has been identified as a contributing risk factor for each condition. For Phase III of the COCVD, we will transition the research core facilities developed during Phase I and II of this program to independence. We will also support pilot project studies that include obesity as a risk factor for disease development. We have experienced considerable success, having supported 23 junior investigators and 21 pilot project investigators who generated $52 million in extramural funding and published more than 500 scholarly publications. Collectively, our team has published more than 280 scholarly articles that directly cite COCVD support. We developed an analytical core that provides services in lipidomics and other small molecules, a pathology core that provides specialized services to quantify adipose and other tissue morphology, and an energy balance and body composition core that is not duplicated in capacity across the institution or the Commonwealth. During Phase III of the COCVD, we will transition each core to self- sustaining capacity and upgrade core equipment and use by continuing to provide high quality specialized services, and by expanding core capabilities through provision of additional services that relate obesity to other diseases (e.g., cancer). Transition to independence of COCVD cores will be facilitated by use of a voucher system to promote core use. We will also continue our strong tradition of pilot project funding, which will be expanded to include studies that focus on obesity as an underlying risk factor for not only cardiovascular diseases, but also type 2 diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. These areas have been designated as areas of strength across the institution (as each disease is a health disparity experienced by Kentuckians), and are designated for growth within a new research facility that will focus on Kentucky's health disparities. The Administrative Core will oversee all administrative functions of the COCVD and in conjunction with the Program Coordinator and the Scientific Internal Advisory Committee will serve as the operational limb of the Center. An External Advisory Committee, composed of experts in related fields, will provide ongoing assessment and evaluation of the Center. Institutional commitment continues to be outstanding and is supplemented by strong evidence of programmatic growth of direct relevance to this Phase III COCVD.

肥胖和心血管卓越生物医学研究中心 (COBRE) 第三期 疾病（COCVD）将进一步发展并扩大肥胖作为潜在危险因素 心血管疾病、2型糖尿病、癌症和神经退行性疾病的发展。每一个 这些疾病在肯塔基州十分猖獗，而肥胖已被确定为每种疾病的危险因素 健康）状况。对于COCVD第三期，我们将过渡第一期开发的研究核心设施 这个计划的第二个是独立的。我们还将支持将肥胖视为一种风险的试点项目研究 疾病发展的因素。我们取得了巨大的成功，为 23 名青少年提供了支持 调查员和 21 名试点项目调查员筹集了 5200 万美元的外部资金并发表了 超过 500 种学术出版物。我们的团队总共发表了 280 多篇学术文章 直接引用 COCVD 支持。我们开发了一个分析核心，提供脂质组学和 其他小分子，病理学核心，提供量化脂肪和其他组织的专业服务 形态、能量平衡和身体成分核心，其能力在整个身体中不重复 机构或联邦。在 COCVD 的第三阶段，我们将把每个核心转变为自 通过持续提供高质量的专业化服务来维持产能并升级核心设备和使用 服务，并通过提供将肥胖与其他疾病联系起来的额外服务来扩大核心能力 疾病（例如癌症）。使用代金券将有助于过渡到 COCVD 核心的独立性 系统以促进核心使用。我们还将继续我们试点项目资助的优良传统，这将 扩大到包括关注肥胖不仅是心血管疾病潜在危险因素的研究 疾病，还有 2 型糖尿病、癌症和神经退行性疾病。这些领域已 被指定为整个机构的优势领域（因为每种疾病都是一个人所经历的健康差异） 肯塔基州人），并被指定在一个新的研究机构内发展，该机构将重点关注肯塔基州的健康 差异。行政核心将监督 COCVD 的所有行政职能，并与 项目协调员和科学内部咨询委员会将作为业务部门 中心的。由相关领域的专家组成的外部咨询委员会将持续提供 中心的评估和评价。机构承诺仍然突出，并且 并辅以与该 III 期 COCVD 直接相关的计划性增长的有力证据。
