美国国立卫生研究院资助的自噬研究中心，名为自噬、炎症和代谢（AIM）生物医学研究卓越中心，位于新墨西哥大学健康科学中心，现在已经完成了它作为一个工作中心的第二年，其使命是促进本地、全国和国际上的自噬研究。到目前为止，该中心已经以接近r01的资助水平支持了6名初级教师（导师pi； mPIs）。两位mPIs通过获得独立的R01资助而毕业，其余4人中有3人以R21和R56奖励的形式获得了NIH的大量资助。在中心成立的第一年半里，我们完成了对自噬、炎症和代谢研究设备的翻新、购置和升级。科学核心的使用，以及新研究的增长是通过试点资助和几种类型的实施计划来促进的。将AIM培养为自噬和相关研究的学术中心的意图体现在其充满活力的校园计划，周二AIM研讨会系列，以及举办重大科学活动，2019 AIM研讨会，来自国际附属成员理事会的近三分之一的教师出席并主持会议，发表演讲，并开展研讨会活动。这些活动和其他活动经常以视频流的形式提供给全世界的科学听众，有关AIM和其他地方的活动的信息在Twitter上传播，并可在AIM网站上跟踪。AIM旨在通过一系列促进代谢组学研究的新举措，激发自噬、炎症和代谢之间重叠领域的研究。随着mpi的更替，他们获得了独立的资金，新的初级教师被招募和任命为mpi。所有这些活动都符合AIM培养下一代自噬研究人员的意图，有助于锚定、传播和传达自噬领域的深度和兴奋。
The NIH-funded center for autophagy research named Autophagy, Inflammation, and Metabolism (AIM) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, located at the University of New Mexico Health Science Center is now completing its second year as a working center with a mission to promote autophagy research locally, nationally, and internationally. The center has thus far supported a cadre of 6 junior faculty (mentored PIs; mPIs) at a near-R01 level of funding. Two mPIs have graduated by obtaining their independent R01 funding and 3 of the remaining 4 have won significant funding from NIH in the form of R21 and R56 awards. The first year and a half of setting up the center has been punctuated by completion of renovations and acquisition and upgrades for equipment supporting autophagy, inflammation and metabolism studies. The scientific cores usage, and the growth of new studies is promoted through pilot grants and several types of enablement initiatives. The intent to cultivate AIM as a scholarly hub for autophagy and related studies is manifested in its Vibrant Campus Initiative, and the Tuesday AIM Seminar series, as well as by hosting a major scientific event, the 2019 AIM symposium, with nearly one third of the faculty from the International Council of Affiliate Members being present and leading sessions, giving talks, and conducting workshop activities. These and other events are often videostreamed for a worldwide scientific audience, and information about events at AIM and elsewhere are disseminated on Twitter and can be followed on the AIM web site. AIM intends to invigorate research on overlapping areas between autophagy, inflammation and metabolism with a number of new initiatives to promote metabolomic research. With the turnover of mPIs as they obtain their independent funding, new junior faculty are recruited and appointed as mPIs. All these activities are in keeping with AIM’s intention to enable the next generation of autophagy researchers and help anchor, disseminate, and convey the depth and excitement of the autophagy field.
