 C. Research Support.

 Ongoing Research Support

 TITLE:  SCCOR in Translational Research in Acute Lung Injury
AGENCY:  National Institutes of Health:  National Heart Lung Blood Institute
TYPE:  NIH/HL73996 (TR Martin)
Project Period:
  9/30/03 - 6/30/08

Project 3
PROJECT 1 TITLE:  Acute Lung Injury Clinical Incubator Project
PROJECT ROLE:  Co-Investigator
Specific Aim:  The overall objective of this proposal is to develop a clinical research unit, which we refer to as a Clinical Trials Incubator Unit (CTIU).  The CTIU will be a collaborative, multidisciplinary research program with two principal aims:  1) To translate biologically plausible interventions directed at either reducing lung injury or hastening repair into therapeutic strategies of potential clinical benefit using plausible biological endpoints in focused clinical trials to establish proof of concept in humans; and 2) To use new technological advances in proteomics and genomics to identify patterns of protein and gene expression in the lungs before and after the onset of acute lung injury to better define subpopulations with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure that would benefit from innovative therapies.

Core C
CORE C TITLE:  Clinical Research Skills Development Core
CORE ROLE:  Principal Investigator
Specific Aims:  Clinical Research Skills Development Core is a training core with the specific aim of developing translational investigators in acute lung injury and related research areas.  The philosophy behind our training plan is that a translational investigator will have a primary research discipline, either in basic research or clinical outcomes research, and will enhance this with cross-training (but not equal training) n the other discipline.  Our assumption is that these investigators will work with others in collaborative translational research and that their cross-training as a translational researcher will stimulate both a higher quality and a greater quantity of translational investigations.  Our program already has strong training programs for basic research and clinical outcomes research training in place.  In this Core C proposal we describe additional training elements to be developed and how they will be blended with current training elements to form a comprehensive program allowing appropriate training of the translational investigator.  It is our hypothesis that this training will improve the translation of basic research advances into clinical benefits for patients with acute lung injury.

 TITLE:  Clinical Centers for a Clinical Network for the Treatment of ARDS
AGENCY:  National Institutes of Health: 
TYPE:  NIH: HR46055
Project Period:  09/30/94-7/31/06
ROLE:  Principal Investigator
Specific Aim:  This contract with the NIH is to develop and participate in an interactive network of Clinical Care Treatment Groups to test new treatment methods in patients at risk for and with ARDS.

TITLE:  Respiratory Research Training Program
AGENCY:  National Institutes of Health:  National Heart Lung Blood Institute
TYPE:  NIH/HL07287 (Hudson)
Project Period:  07/01/04-06/30/09
ROLE:  Program Director
Specific Aim:  To prepare the postdoctoral trainee for an academic career in respiratory diseases and research, and to be able to train others in this field.  This grant supports eight postdoctoral trainees.
