Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, First, Middle):
RESOURCES
FACILITIES: Specify the facilities to be used for the conduct of the proposed research. Indicate the performance sites and describe capacities,
pertinent capabilities, relative proximity, and extent of availability to the project. Under “Other,” identify support services such as machine shop,
electronics shop, and specify the extent to which they will be available to the project. Use continuation pages if necessary.
Laboratory:
The Stanford Prevention Research Center (SPRC) has access to the full-service Clinical Laboratory of
Stanford Hospital and Clinics and Packard Children’s Hospital. This laboratory participates in the NHLBICDC lipoprotein standardization program, which was established during the Lipid Research Clinics study. All
standard and many advanced laboratory methods are available in this resource.
Clinical:
The 5900 sq. ft. Clinical Research Facility includes a reception area, 7 exam/procedure rooms, 4 interview
rooms, medication storage room, 3 anthropometry stations (balance-beam scales, bariatric scale and two
Harpenden stadiometers), standard medical clinic equipment, separate phlebotomy and blood handling
rooms, treadmill and bicycle ergometers, electrocardiographs, oxygen consumption apparatus, a Hologic
QDR – 4500 dual-energy xray absorptiometer (DXA) for body composition and bone density measures, with
related computer and optical disc equipment, and a Nottingham (leg) Power Rig. This facility is located at
1070 Arastradero Road in Palo Alto, with ample free parking and shuttle bus service from the medical
school.
Animal:
SPRC does not perform animal research. Stanford University Medical School does maintain a research
animal facility that meets all federal guidelines.
Computer:
The SPRC is in the Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) network, which is compliant with HIPAA
requirements and operates behind a firewall. Access to the Internet electronic mail and secure file exchange
is provided. SPRC investigators can access several secure servers and an array of statistical and other
software provided by Stanford under site licenses; the SPRC provides on-site computer support and daily
backup.
Office:
The SPRC is housed in 20,000 sq. ft. located in the SUMC and at 1070 Arastradero Road in Palo Alto. In
addition to the clinic, this space includes faculty, staff, and administrative offices and conference rooms.
Other:
The full resources of Stanford University are available to support research, including a 350,000 volume,
3000 journal medical library, advanced information technology, complete financial, administrative, and
human resources support, a 611-bed University Hospital and a 206-bed Pediatrics hospital, an outpatient
clinic providing over 600,000 patient visits annually, a General Clinical Research Center (10 beds, 2
outpatient suites, dietary kitchen, laboratory, office space in 5573 sq. ft.), and a faculty, research staff, and
student body with nationally recognized achievements in research. The SPRC Health Promotion Resource
Center provides technical advice to worksites, communities, and other groups who are developing health
education programs. Its materials are designed for both individual users and for health professionals and
are largely the products of SPRC programs conducted over the last 20 years, providing dissemination for our
work.
MAJOR EQUIPMENT: List the most important equipment items already available for this project, noting the location and pertinent capabilities of each
Although the investigators of the proposed trial are adequately equipped, there are no computers or printers
available for the heavy use expected by project staff; therefore these must be purchased. All equipment is
available for use on this project without any direct cost to the sponsor.
