Administrative Core

项目摘要/摘要 - 行政核心 博伊西州立大学在基质生物学领域建立了生物医学卓越研究中心 第一阶段。基质生物学的主题焦点使研究人员能够解决一些最重要的问题 挑战我们国家面临的健康问题。迄今为止，这个集中机制已经支持了十六个 初级研究员，其中七名是研究项目研究员，九名是试点研究员级别。中心 使我们能够利用博伊西州立大学现有的广泛、多样化的研究基础。同相 II，我们建议通过以计划性为基础，加强和发展 COBRE 基质生物学计划 第一阶段通过行政核心建立的基础设施。第二阶段的主要目标 基质生物学中的 COBRE 旨在支持研究人员，提高初级、职业中期和 知名科学家，促进初级研究人员和知名研究人员之间的合作，并建立 博伊西州立大学的生物医学研究基础设施。 COBRE 的主要计划重点 基质生物学将支持与细胞-细胞外基质相互作用相关的动物模型的分析 疾病进展和组织修复/再生，并提供研究仪器和 技术支持。通过行政核心，基质生物学领域的 COBRE 将赞助职业生涯 初级研究者的发展、研究者之间建立新的合作、活动 这将促进 COBRE 成员之间的信息、想法和试剂的交流。我们将继续 通过招募在以下主题范围内进行有价值研究的非会员来发展中心 基质生物学中的 COBRE。行政核心将继续提供试点项目计划作为 招募工具，为年轻人和提出申请的成熟研究人员提供资金 基质生物学的专业知识。

Project Summary/Abstract – Administrative Core Boise State University has established a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Matrix Biology during Phase I. The thematic focus of matrix biology has allowed researchers to address some of the most challenging health concerns facing our nation. To date, this centralized mechanism has supported sixteen junior investigators, seven as Research Project Investigators and nine at the Pilot Investigator level. The center has allowed us to capitalize on the broad, diverse research base that exists at Boise State University. In Phase II, we propose to enhance and grow the COBRE in Matrix Biology program by building upon the programmatic infrastructure that was established in Phase I through the Administrative Core. The primary goals of Phase II of the COBRE in Matrix Biology are to support investigators, to enhance the productivity of junior, mid-career, and established scientists, to facilitate collaboration between both junior and established researchers, and to build biomedical research infrastructure at Boise State University. Major programmatic emphases of the COBRE in Matrix Biology are to support the analysis of animal models of relevance to cell-extracellular matrix interactions in disease progression and tissue repair/regeneration and to provide access to research instrumentation and technical support. Through the Administrative Core, the COBRE in Matrix Biology will sponsor career development of junior investigators, the establishment of new collaborations between investigators, activities that will promote the exchange of information, ideas and reagents between COBRE members. We will continue to grow the center by recruiting non-members who are doing meritorious research within the thematic focus of the COBRE in Matrix Biology. The Administrative Core will continue to offer a pilot project program as a recruitment tool to provide funding to young and to established investigators who propose to apply their expertise to matrix biology.
