Abstract/Summary: Overall Component This application for a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) would initiate a formal Center to lead, support, and expand neuroimaging and clinical cognitive neuroscience research in Nebraska, with an emphasis on lifespan development. It is an opportune moment for human neuroscience research in the Omaha community, regionally, and across the world, with many new research tools and government initiatives intended to illuminate the next frontier of biomedicine. The proposed Cognitive Neuroscience of Development and Aging (CONDA) Center will provide critical resources and support to faculty from four institutions: the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), the Boys Town National Research Hospital, the University of Nebraska – Omaha, and Creighton University. The Administrative Core of the CONDA Center will be housed at UNMC, which is less than two miles from each of the other institutions, and will be comprised of Training, Evaluation, Engagement, Administration, and Mentoring areas (i.e., the TEEAM Core). The new CONDA Center will also include a state- of-the-art Neuroimaging Acquisition and Analysis Core, as well as extensive support for four primary COBRE research projects led by a promising group of NIH-defined early-stage investigators. Upon initiation of the Center, the TEEAM Core would immediately implement a series of new programs that are designed to develop human cognitive neuroscience on the CONDA Campus and across the region. The TEEAM Core would also rapidly implement a comprehensive research support structure that includes the Neuroimaging Core facility, training opportunities, pilot projects and mini-grants programs, a new seminar series, postdoctoral fellowships, intern- ships for growing temporary and long-term laboratory staffing, and a participant registry to enhance recruitment. In parallel, the TEEAM Core would promote the successful launch of the primary COBRE research projects and, through a mentoring network approach, implement a career development and evaluation support system to monitor progress and ensure Junior PIs and their mentoring teams reach critical milestones. As per the new research core, the Neuroimaging Acquisition and Analysis Core facility would be the only core dedicated to human brain research in the state of Nebraska, and would provide regional scientists with state-of-the-art tools for neuroimaging and neuromodulation, including research-dedicated MRI and MEG systems. The new Center would also receive exceptional institutional support, including financial support for CONDA programs, major equipment expenses, and Core staffing. The overall CONDA team includes an established group of PIs in neuro- imaging, brain dynamics, aging, and brain and cognitive development, as well as a strong cohort of emerging junior investigators using innovative cognitive and affective neuroscience methods to address major questions in human neuroscience across the lifespan. These junior scientists were all hired in the past three years, and this new wealth of concentrated local expertise has primed us for a trajectory of accelerated development of neuro- science and neuroimaging toward national prominence, an aim for which the new CONDA Center will be integral.

摘要/摘要：总体组件 生物医学研究卓越中心(Cobre)的申请将启动一个正式的中心来领导， 支持和扩大内布拉斯加州的神经成像和临床认知神经科学研究，重点是 关于生命周期的发展。这是在奥马哈社区进行人类神经科学研究的好时机， 在地区和世界各地，许多新的研究工具和政府倡议旨在阐明 生物医学的下一个前沿。发展与衰老的认知神经科学(CONDA) 该中心将为来自四个机构的教师提供关键资源和支持：内布拉斯加大学 医疗中心(UNMC)、男童城国家研究医院、内布拉斯加州大学奥马哈分校，以及 克雷顿大学。Conda中心的行政核心将设在UNMC，这将不到 与其他机构相距2英里，将包括培训、评估、参与、 管理和指导领域(即TEEAM核心)。新的康达中心还将包括一个州- 最先进的神经成像采集和分析核心，以及对四种主要Cobre的广泛支持 由NIH定义的一组有前途的早期调查人员领导的研究项目。在该中心启动时， TEEAM核心将立即实施一系列旨在发展人的新计划 康达校区和整个地区的认知神经科学。TEEAM核心也将迅速 实施全面的研究支持结构，包括神经成像核心设施、培训 机会，试点项目和微型助学金计划，一个新的研讨会系列，博士后奖学金，实习生- 增加临时和长期实验室人员配置的船舶，以及加强招募的参与者登记。 同时，TEEAM核心将促进Cobre主要研究项目的成功启动， 通过辅导网络方法，实施职业发展和评估支持系统，以 监督进度，确保初级PI和他们的指导团队达到关键里程碑。根据新的 研究核心，神经成像采集和分析核心设施将是唯一致力于 在内布拉斯加州进行人脑研究，并将为地区科学家提供最先进的工具 用于神经成像和神经调节，包括研究专用的核磁共振和脑磁图系统。新中心 还将获得特殊的机构支持，包括对CONDA项目的财政支持，主要 设备费用和核心人员配备。整个Conda团队包括一组公认的神经PI- 成像、脑动力学、衰老、大脑和认知发展，以及一大批新兴的 初级调查人员使用创新的认知和情感神经科学方法来解决主要问题 在人类神经科学的一生中。这些初级科学家都是在过去三年里受聘的，而这 集中的本地专业知识的新财富为我们准备好了神经学加速发展的轨迹- 科学和神经成像的国家地位，这是一个目标，新的康达中心将是不可或缺的。
