抽象-发展的核心 发展核心将为青少年的培训和指导提供一个合作和培育的环境 结构生物学领域的研究人员。此核心将同时服务于中心附属和非中心 对HIV-1结构生物学感兴趣的附属调查人员。学员成长为成功者 并将通过定制课程、指导活动、 通过三个机构举办的讲习班和培训方案获得最先进的技术 该中心的科学核心。发展核心将受益于现有的培训和指导 参与机构的环境。其中包括杜克人类疫苗研究所的培训和 指导计划(DTMP)，杜克大学CFAR发展核心，范德比尔特计算计划 微生物学和免疫学，德克萨斯大学跨学科生命科学研究生项目，NIH T32培训计划和其他类似的培训和指导计划。通过与现有的 计划，我们将增加我们的培训资源，以扩大轨道 受训者在他们自己的机构之外。发展核心的具体目标是1)扩大受训者的 通过使用定制课程和技术建立知识库和信心；2)组织 研讨会，期刊俱乐部，短期课程，模拟学习部分，和拨款写作研讨会。发展中的 该中心的活动将包括以方法为重点的讲习班，旨在利用专业知识和优势 每个科学核心促进交叉培训和技能发展学生、博士后研究员和 早期职业科学家；3)为创新的先导研究项目招募多样化的早期职业研究人员，这些项目将 拓宽项目中研究人员的科学范围和多样性。协作发展奖 将制定(CDA)计划，为与中心目标一致的具体试点研究项目提供资金。 这些资金将支持职业生涯早期的艾滋病毒调查人员和艾滋病毒研究领域的新手，他们是 与中心无关。发展核心将与项目和科学核心密切合作 确定培训和技能发展机会，以及将增强现有技术的新技术 该中心的科学资源。这些互动将推动培训资源在 中心，同时促进合作，为中心引入新的调查人员。辅导 该中心由发展核心领导的活动将有助于培训下一代 艾滋病毒研究人员，并将生成丰富的研讨会和培训模块汇编， 公开提供，以帮助今后开发类似的计划。

ABSTRACT- Developmental Core The Developmental Core will offer a collaborative and nurturing environment for training and mentoring of young investigators who are in the structural biology field. This Core will serve both Center-affiliated and non-Center affiliated investigators with an interest in HIV-1 structural biology. The development of trainees into successful and independent scientific professionals will be fostered through customized curricula, mentoring activities, access to state-of-the-art technologies through workshops and training programs conducted by the three Scientific Cores of the Center. The Developmental Core will benefit from the existing training and mentoring environments at the participating institutions. These include the Duke Human Vaccine Institute Training and Mentoring Program (DTMP), the Duke CFAR Developmental Core, the Vanderbilt Program in Computational Microbiology and Immunology, the University of Texas Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Graduate Programs, NIH T32 training programs and other such training and mentoring programs. Through close networking with existing programs in the different partner institutions, we will augment our training resources to expand the orbit of the trainees beyond their own institutions. The Specific Aims of the Developmental Core are to 1) expand trainees' knowledgebase and confidence through the use of customized curricula and technology; 2) to organize seminars, journal clubs, short courses, mock study sections, and grant writing workshops. The Developmental activities of the Center will include methods-focused workshops designed to leverage the expertise and strengths of each Scientific Core to facilitate cross-training and skill development of students, postdoctoral fellows and early career scientists; 3) recruit diverse early career investigators for innovative pilot research projects that will broaden the scientific scope and diversity of investigators in the program. A Collaborative Development Award (CDA) program will be instituted to fund specific pilot research projects aligned with the goals of the Center. These funds will support early career HIV investigators and investigators new to the HIV research field who are not associated with the Center. The Developmental Core will work closely with the Projects and Scientific Cores to identify training and skill development opportunities, as well as new technologies that will augment the existing scientific resources of the Center. These interactions will drive the development of training resources within the Center, at the same time fostering collaborations to bring on board new investigators into the Center. Mentoring activities of the Center, led by the Developmental Core, will contribute to the training of the next generation of HIV researchers, and will generate a rich compilation of workshops and training modules that will be made publicly available to assist in the development of similar programs in the future.
