Overview:
The CENTRII (The Center for Radiation Injury Intervention) website has been
constructed to provide new and expanded education resources to improve expertise
in radiobiology. CENTRII is one of eight Centers for Medical
Countermeasures Against Radiation (CMCR's) established by the RFA (Request for
Application):
A set of links to the other CMCR's is available at the
following webpage:
The following excerpt gives an executive summary of the
goals of the CMCR Project:
The primary goal of the
Centers for Medical Countermeasures Against Radiation (CMCR) will be to develop
new medical products that will protect against, mitigate the effects of, and
treat the short- and long-term consequences of radiation exposure due to
terrorist attack. NIAID intends to commit approximately $28 million in Fiscal
Year 2005 to fund six to eight CMCRs as cooperative (U19) agreements.
CENTRII
is dedicated to aid in supporting the educational aspects of this project and to
provide a virtual campus for trainees located in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Toronto, Canada.
In a broader sense the CENTRII website provides a virtual
and centralized "campus" for the Education Core of the CMCR project.
CENTRII fulfills this role by providing a host of services:
* A "live" lecture series that allows virtual attendees to
view the "live webcast" and ask questions from any location that has high speed
internet capabilities.
* An archive of each lecture that can be viewed at the convenience of the user.
* Provide a Central Repository for Student Training Logs that are accessible to
all Project Leaders.
The following table (below) provides an overview of the
Center for Medical Countermeasures Against Radiation (CMCR) as presented at
the Medical College of Wisconsin on Tuesday, February 28th, 2006, by John E.
Moulder, Ph.D. (Professor of Radiation Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin).
Notes:
* Clicking on a "Topic" will launch a Power Point
Presentation relating to the topic.
* Clicking on a "Abstract" will launch a link to the Crisp website's abstract
information.
* Clicking on the "CRISP" button below the table will bring up the CRISP
(Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) database of federally
funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and
other research institutions. Type "%1U19AI067734%" into the "Grant number"
box and then click on the “Submit Query” button at the bottom of the form.
[Note: Do not include the quotation marks in the query].
This will bring up the CRISP information on the CMCR grant.
