VERMONT IMMUNOBIOL/INFECTIOUS DIS CTR: 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。行政/知识核心一般的COBRE计划的明确目的，特别是这个核心，是初级教师的职业发展。这将以以下形式提供：<$导师：每名初级教师两名，加上内部和外部顾问和演讲者的专业知识<$课程：赠款写作，生存技能，道德，以及微阵列和蛋白质组学的其他核心技术<$助理通过在实验室会议和务虚会上介绍特定目标来准备赠款<$与COBRE计划主题相关的优秀外部演讲者系列研讨会<$通过COBRE奖学金协助招募研究生和博士后研究员<$开发新的P01计划项目赠款和T32培训赠款本提案描述了一种管理结构，旨在为最初的五名初级教师提供指导，三个新的教师招聘，以促进他们的研究竞争力的发展，并通过佛蒙特州免疫生物学/传染病中心（维克）的发展，以增加在免疫生物学/传染病在UVM的整体研究和知识基础设施。计划和核心管理将由COBRE主任拉尔夫·巴德博士在联合主任加里·沃德博士的协助下提供。该机构共有七名高级科学家也将担任五名初级教师的导师。每个初级科学家都被分配了两名高级科学家导师。互动将发生在几个层面：初级导师和初级教师之间，主任/联合主任和初级教师之间，整个COBRE集团之间，以及COBRE集团和外部咨询委员会之间。推进免疫生物学/传染病在UVM的知识基础设施将通过开发一个维克研讨会系列包括优秀的外部调查人员和年度维克务虚会完成。此外，Budd博士或Ward博士将每年前往马里兰州贝塞斯达一次，与NCRR工作人员会面，讨论COBRE的方向，并从其他COBRE董事的想法中受益。建立一个成功的COBRE的主要成果预计将是每个初级教师提交有竞争力的R 01，提交第二个P01计划项目赠款对病原体的先天免疫反应（免疫生物学系已经分享了一个关于Th 1/Th 2细胞因子发育的分子机制），并成功竞争了在UVM免疫生物学/传染病研究生教育的T32培训补助金（刚刚提交）。

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. ADMINISTRATIVE / INTELLECTUAL CORE The clear purpose of the COBRE program in general, and this core in particular, is Career Development of the junior faculty. This will be provided in the form of: ¿ Mentors: two per junior faculty plus the expertise of the Internal and External Advisors and speakers ¿ Courses: grant writing, survival skills, ethics, and on the techniques of the other cores in Microarray and Proteomics ¿ Assistant with grant preparations through presentations of Specific Aims at laboratory meetings and retreats ¿ Seminar Series of outstanding outside speakers relevant to the theme of the COBRE program ¿ Assisting with recruitment of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows through COBRE fellowships ¿ Developing new P01 Program Project Grants and T32 Training Grants This proposal describes an administrative structure designed to provide mentoring of an initial five junior faculty and three new faculty recruits to facilitate development of their research competitiveness and to increase the overall research and intellectual infrastructure in Immunobiology/Infectious Diseases at UVM through the development of the Vermont Immunobiology/Infectious Diseases Center (VIC). Program and core administration will be provided by the COBRE Director, Dr. Ralph Budd, with the assistance of a Co-Director, Dr. Gary Ward. A total of seven senior scientists within the institution will also serve as mentors for five junior faculty. Each junior scientist is assigned two senior scientist mentors. Interactions will occur at several levels: between primary mentors and junior faculty, between Director/Co-Director and junior faculty, among the entire COBRE group, and between the COBRE group and the External Advisory Committee. Advancing the intellectual infrastructure in Immunobiology/Infectious Diseases at UVM will be accomplished by developing a VIC Seminar Series comprising outstanding external investigators and an annual VIC retreat. In addition, either Dr. Budd or Dr. Ward will travel to Bethesda, MD once per year to meet with NCRR staff to discuss the direction of the COBRE and to benefit from the ideas of other COBRE Directors. The major outcomes of establishing a successful COBRE are expected to be submission of competitive R01 s by each of the junior faculty, submission of a second P01 Program Project Grant on Innate Immune Responses to Pathogens (the Immunobiology faculty already share one on Molecular Mechanisms of Thl/Th2 Cytokine Development) by the COBRE faculty, and successful competition for a T32 Training Grant for graduate education at UVM in Immunobiology/Infectious Diseases (one has just been submitted).
