项目摘要--发展核心 加州大学旧金山分校-UCB TRAC开发核心将成为吸引和支持新的 从事结核病研究的研究人员(NIS)和希望通过以下途径进入结核病领域的调查人员 积极的辅导计划和创新的发展试点奖励计划。发展的核心意志 通过一个服务平台支持结核病研究领域的新兴科学领先者，以支持以下连续的想法 独立于结核病研究、提供指导、专业发展、提案支持和研究 资金问题。加州大学旧金山分校-UCB TRAC开发核心将通过1)提供全面的 针对新机构的有组织的职业发展计划，针对结核病，并包括持续的指导；2)提供 经同行评审的试点奖项，以支持创新的多学科研究，并帮助开展结核病研究科学 职业；3)为结核病研究人员建立实践社区，促进公平的国际研究 结核病方面的伙伴关系和指导。这些活动将得到总体发展的补充。 将各核心联系起来的原则，包括：(A)注重团队科学和多学科研究；(B) 致力于多样性、公平和包容性，包括解决破坏结核病科学的不平等问题；以及 (C)关于我们应该由谁/如何参与结核病研究的广阔愿景。通过培训、指导和 资助奖项，发展核心将加强和刺激加州大学旧金山分校、加州大学伯克利分校、 以及我们的附属国际网站，并将吸引和支持下一代结核病研究人员。

PROJECT SUMMARY – Developmental Core The UCSF-UCB TRAC Developmental Core will be the principal vehicle used to attract and support new investigators (NIs) pursuing tuberculosis (TB) research and investigators wanting to enter the TB field through an active mentoring program and innovative developmental pilot awards program. The Developmental Core will support emerging scientific leaders in TB research via a platform of services to support a continuum of ideas to independence in TB research, offering mentoring, professional development, proposal support, and research funding. UCSF-UCB TRAC Developmental Core will support investigators by 1) offering a comprehensive structured career development program for NIs that is TB-specific and includes sustained mentoring; 2) offering peer-reviewed pilot awards to support innovative multidisciplinary research and help launch TB research science careers; 3) develop a community of practice for TB researchers that fosters equitable international research partnerships and mentoring in TB. These activities will be complemented with overarching development principles linking across Cores, including: (a) focus on team-science and multidisciplinary research; (b) commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, including addressing inequities that undermine TB science; and (c) an expansive vision for who/how we should be engaged with TB research. Through training, mentoring, and funding of awards, the Developmental Core will enhance and stimulate TB research conducted at UCSF, UCB, and our affiliated international sites and will attract and support the next generation of TB researchers.
