## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – Enrichment Program:
The WU NORC Enrichment Program is directed by Dr. David Alpers. The purpose of the Enrichment Program
is to promote education, collaboration, growth and success within the NORC membership. The Enrichment
Program provides research seminars at WUSM, specifically a weekly NORC Obesity, Metabolism and Nutrition
Seminar, a weekly NORC Work-in-Progress Research Seminar, an annual didactic course provided by the
Clinical Science Research Core (“Methods in Human Metabolic Research”), a bi-weekly research seminar
series on the use of mass spectrometry in basic and clinical research provided by the NORC Biomolecular
Analysis Core. The NORC also helps support lectures on nutrition and obesity that are provided by Barnes-
Jewish Hospital to people living in the greater St. Louis Metropolitan area. The NORC Administrative Core
supports the Enrichment Program by organizing and scheduling the weekly NORC Research Seminar
speakers and the weekly Work-in-Progress Research Seminar, responding to requests for lectures on nutrition
and obesity topics throughout the medical center and arranging for an appropriate speaker, disseminating
announcements, arranging logistics for NORC visiting professors, and helping Barnes-Jewish Hospital's

selected topics.
