COBRE: UVM MED: CORE A: ADMINISTRATIVE & INTELLECTUAL CORE

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。生物医学研究卓越中心（COBRE）在神经科学资助提出了两个主要目标：（1）支持佛蒙特大学（UVM）的神经科学研究和培训，（2）促进初级神经科学教师的研究发展。该中心的一个关键功能是为初级神经科学教师制定指导计划。这个指导计划帮助最初的五个项目主管中的三个获得了R 01对最初COBRE支持项目的支持。第四个初级PI获得了R21奖，以启动与他最初的COBRE项目分开的研究。在过去的一年里，COBRE基金还支持了其他五名初级神经科学研究人员的试点项目，并为两名新教师的实验室发展提供了支持。 两个多用户研究设施，细胞/分子生物学核心和成像/生理学核心，继续得到COBRE赠款的支持。这些设施提供了访问研究工具，是至关重要的初级教师项目和支持其他神经科学家的研究活动。COBRE奖支持翻译核心的活动，旨在促进基础和临床神经科学家之间的互动。这个核心支持了一个医学生和外科住院医生的一年的研究经验，并提供了一个课程，题为神经疾病的生物学基础，为研究生，居民和教师。 COBRE通过支持第三次全体会议演讲以及与神经科学学会佛蒙特分会共同赞助校外神经科学静修，加强了神经科学研究的基础设施。这次务虚会包括UVM神经科学家的口头报告和一位国际知名神经科学家的演讲。 COBRE奖还促进了全校神经科学研究生项目的发展，该项目将于2006年秋季招收6名学生。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Neuroscience grant proposed two major goals: (1) to support neuroscience research and training at the University of Vermont (UVM) and (2) to promote the research development of junior neuroscience faculty. A key function of the center was to develop a mentoring program for junior neuroscience faculty. This mentoring program helped three of the initial five project directors obtain R01 support for aspects of the initial COBRE supported projects. A fourth junior PI obtained an R21 award to initiate studies separate from his initial COBRE project. COBRE funds also supported pilot projects for five other junior neuroscience investigators during the past year and provided support for laboratory development of two new faculty. Two multi-user research facilities, the Cellular/Molecular Biology Core and Imaging/Physiology Core, continued to be supported by the COBRE grant. These facilities provided access to research tools that are critical to the junior faculty projects and supported research activities of other neuroscientists. The COBRE award supported activities of a Translational Core designed to facilitate the interaction between basic and clinical neuroscientists. This Core supported a year-out research experience for a medical student and surgical resident and provided a course, entitled the Biological Basis of Neurological Disease, for graduate students, residents and faculty. The COBRE enhanced the infrastructure for neuroscience research by supporting a third plenary lecture and by co-sponsoring with the local Vermont Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience an off-campus neuroscience retreat. This retreat consisted of oral presentations by UVM neuroscientists and a lecture by a visiting internationally-recognized neuroscientist. The COBRE award also facilitated the development of a University-wide Neuroscience Graduate Program, which will enroll six students in the Fall of 2006.
