Molecular and Cellular Immunology Core

项目摘要 作为一个研究技术支持单位，分子和 细胞免疫学（MCI）核心对提高研究生产力产生了重大影响， 研究竞争力，以及进一步的研究培训和指导。外部资助的研究是 严重依赖MCI核心，预计需求将继续增长。核心也 成功地发展到为来自广泛领域的研究人员提供个性化的技术支持， 生物学科，包括那些在IBR从事生殖生物学。作为IBR COBRE 过渡到第三阶段的活动，MCI核心将是这个有组织的研究计划的一部分，主要 目标是提高核心的能力，加强IBR科学家和调查人员的研究和培训， IBR翻译试点项目计划;第二个目标是接触更多的科学家， 本集团将与大学合作，以进一步扩阔Core的用户基础及加强收入来源。这些目标 将实现：（1）在具体目标1中，通过加强、重新确定优先级和调整MCI核心服务， 资源与IBR的TMII核心整合，并根据以下要求量身定制并最大限度地提高服务效率： IBR的需求;并通过扩大对不同生物科学学科研究项目的支持 （2）在具体目标2中，通过以下方式扩展MCI核心的业务和物理范围： 在IBR建立一个卫星核心，以便在该机构提供密切的研究支持，同时提供 战略场所和发射台，以推广到其他科学家在大学的核心的资源和 （3）在具体目标3中，根据可适应的商业模式制定战略计划， 在不同的收入流，并加强核心的价值，大学，这将共同 利用机构对可持续性的承诺。实现这些目标将提高研究效率， 生产力，IBR和其他大学科学家的卓越;建立MCI核心的强大存在， 大学在其研究和培训任务中做出了有影响力的贡献，值得长期投资。

PROJECT SUMMARY Over a decade of solid performance and productivity as a research technical support unit, the Molecular and Cellular Immunology (MCI) Core has had a significant impact on increasing research productivity, enhancing research competitiveness, and furthering research training and mentoring. Extramurally funded research is heavily dependent on the MCI Core, and the need is anticipated to continue to grow. The Core has also evolved successfully to provide individualized technical support to investigators from a broad swath of biological disciplines, including those engaging in reproductive biology at the IBR. As the IBR COBRE transitions to Phase III activities, the MCI Core will be part of this organized research program, with the primary goal to heighten the Core's ability to enhance research and training by IBR scientists and investigators of the IBR Translational Pilot Project Program; and the secondary goal to reach out to a larger cohort of scientists at the University in order to further broaden the Core's user base and strengthen revenue stream. These goals will be achieved: (1) in Specific Aim 1 by strengthening, reprioritizing, and adapting the MCI Core's service and resources to integrate with IBR's TMII Core and to tailor-fit and maximize efficiency of service according to IBR's needs; and by enabling broadened support for research projects of different biological science disciplines at the University; (2) in Specific Aim 2 by extending the operational and physical reach of the MCI Core through the establishment of a Satellite Core at IBR to enable close research support at the Institution while providing a strategic venue and launching pad to outreach to other scientists at the University for the Core's resource and service; (3) in Specific Aim 3 by developing a strategic plan based on an adaptable business model that draws on different revenue streams and strengthens the Core's value to the University, which collectively, would leverage for institutional commitment for sustainability. Achieving these Aims will enhance research efficiency, productivity, and excellence of IBR and other University scientists; establish a strong presence of the MCI Core at the University with impactful contributions in its research and training missions that is worthy of long-term investments.
