Coordination Funds

跨学科合作、科学交流、早期职业科学家的整合和临床翻译是SPP2084成功的关键组成部分。事实证明，主动沟通对于有效的人际关系至关重要。这需要在年度务虚会、专题讨论会和研讨会上定期举行面对面会议，以及在网络研讨会和虚拟或电话会议上进行日常交流。一个现代化的网页（www.microbone.de）和一位积极主动的协调员促进了沟通和联网进程。此外，我们的愿景和µBONE联盟的概念已经被6个pi发表在Nature Reviews of Clinical Oncology和几个同行评审期刊上。值得注意的是，几位µBONE科学家被提升为永久W2/W3教授，并获得了著名的奖项以及ERC资助。这一战略在第一个筹资期取得了很好的效果。因此，我们打算进一步促进主动沟通，以确保µBONE联盟内各个团体和站点之间的有效联网过程。为此，我们计划在可能的情况下举行不同的面对面会议，同时也将加强视频辅助通信。我们将建立专业研讨会和培训课程，分享重点领域的专业知识，并计划每年举办两次小型研讨会和一个项目学院，由10-20名来自联盟的参与者参加，包括外部演讲者（如适用）。实验室轮换将有助于分享动物模型和成像技术的关键技术。此外，我们将通过提供科学主题和软技能的专家课程以及聘请论文咨询委员会来促进博士生。为了最大限度地发挥基础研究和转化研究之间的协同作用，我们根据卓越的记录和跟踪记录申请分配给个人项目的临床科学家职位。为了使这个联盟对女科学家有吸引力，我们打算提供具体的指导计划、“飞行保姆”托儿服务和灵活的过渡资金。此外，为了提高每个参与者自己的文化感知，并对可能影响科学和职业生活的不同观点和文化有更广泛的理解，我们将提供一个关于跨文化能力的多样性讲习班。除了科学出版物外，为了传播我们的研究结果，我们将与我们的公关部门合作，并计划制作播客、媒体采访以及新闻稿。这些中心措施为整个财团服务，并应有助于确保所有参与的科学家的高效和富有成效的工作条件。

Interdisciplinary collaboration, scientific exchange, integration of early career scientists, and clinical translation were key components for success of the SPP2084. Active communication turned out to be essential for effective networking. This required regular face-to-face meetings at annual retreats, symposia, and workshops as well as everyday communication in webinars and virtual or phone conferences. A modern webpage (www.microbone.de) and a proactive coordinator fostered communication and the networking process. Moreover, our vision and concepts of the µBONE consortium have been published by six PIs in Nature Reviews of Clinical Oncology and several peer-reviewed journals. Of note, several µBONE scientists were promoted to permanent W2/W3 professorships and received prestigious awards as well as ERC grants. This strategy has worked out very well for the first funding period. Therefore, we intend to further promote active communication to ensure an effective networking process between the individual groups and sites within the µBONE consortium. For that purpose, we plan different face-to-face meetings, if possible, and will concurrently strengthen video-assisted communication, too. We will establish professional workshops and training courses to share the expertise in focused areas and plan two smaller workshops and one project academy per year with 10-20 participants from the consortium, including external speakers where applicable. Lab rotations will help to share key technologies in animal models and imaging techniques. In addition, we will promote PhD students by offering expert classes on scientific topics and soft skills and by employing thesis advisory committees. To maximize synergism between basic and translational research, we apply for clinician-scientist positions allocated to individual projects based on documented excellence and track record. To make this consortium attractive for female scientists, we intend to offer specific mentoring programs, a “Flying nanny” childcare service, and flexible bridge funding. Moreover, to sharpen the own cultural perception of each participant and to develop a broader understanding of different perspectives and cultures that may affect science and professional life, we will offer a diversity workshop on intercultural competences. To disseminate our results in addition to scientific publication we will work together with our PR department and plan to produce podcasts and media interviews as well as press releases. These central measures serve the entire consortium and should help to ensure efficient and productive working conditions for all involved scientists.
