TULANE COBRE IN HYPERTENSION AND RENAL BIOLOGY: ADMIN CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 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 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 管理和指导核心：在本报告所述期间，指导核心为主要研究者和5名高级指导者及核心主任提供了工资支持。 COBRE调查员出席国家会议的差旅费由其支付。 女士Nina R Majid自2007年5月以来一直担任项目协调员，负责维护与COBRE有关的所有记录。她重组了中心办公室，沿着准备和分发中心的新闻通讯，她还负责维护中心的网站，向网站访问者提供中心活动的最新信息、COBRE过去和当前的项目、新闻、活动日历等。 她定期安排每月COBRE初级研究员会议和双周中心研讨会和讲座。她负责所有项目的用品和设备的订单，并确保每个项目的支出保持在预算分配之内。 行政核心还负责加强该中心的总体基础设施，增加几个主要设备项目。在本预算期间，行政核心支助了两名研究生和两名博士后研究员。 此外，三名医学生在8-10周的夏季研究奖学金期间得到了支持。 除了参加每两周一次的定期高血压会议外，初级教师研究员，PI和高级导师每月开会讨论各个项目的细节和准备提交R 01申请的进展情况。 在过去的一年中，EAC于2008年3月11日至13日举行会议，审查所有初级教师调查人员的进展情况。选管会所有成员都参加了审查。现任成员为： 1.托马斯科夫曼，医学博士，北卡罗来纳州达勒姆杜克大学教授兼校长。 2. Norman Rosenblum，医学博士，多伦多大学儿科副主席，安大略多伦多儿童医院高级科学家。 3. John McGiff，医学博士，纽约医学院药理学教授兼主席，纽约。 4. Michael Klag，医学博士，公共卫生硕士，美国马里兰州，巴尔的摩，约翰霍普金斯大学医学院，布隆伯格公共卫生学院院长。 5. Orson莫伊，医学博士，德克萨斯大学西南医学院肾脏内科教授。 博士奥森莫伊，一个新的成员，被添加到协助博士赫林史密斯在她的项目的发展。 三月份的EAC现场访问证明是非常富有成效的，为COBRE的初级教师调查人员提出了一些有用的建议。委员会成员听取了初级教员的介绍，并提出了加强项目的建议。EAC成员评估了研究人员的资助申请，并提出了建设性的建议，以增加获得资助的可能性。在这一年中，EAC成员提供了宝贵的服务，审查每一个新的初级教师研究人员的研究计划。

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 and Mentoring Core: The mentoring core provided salary support for the PI and for 5 senior mentors and core directors this reporting period. Travel expenses were covered for COBRE investigators presenting at national meetings and conferences. Ms. Nina R Majid has been the program coordinator since May 2007 and is responsible for maintaining all records related to the COBRE. She reorganized the Center office and along with the preparation and dissemination of newsletters from the Center, she is also responsible for maintaining the center web-site, informing web-site visitors with updated information of the center activities, COBRE past and current projects, news, calendar of events, and so forth. She arranges regular monthly COBRE junior investigator meetings and bi-weekly center seminars and lectures. She is responsible for orders of supplies and equipments for all projects and ensures that the expenditures for each project remain within budget allocated. The administrative CORE was also responsible for enhancing the overall infrastructure of the Center with the addition of several major equipment items. During the current budget period, the Administrative Core supported two graduate students and two postdoctoral fellows. In addition, three medical students were supported during a 8-10 weeks Summer Research Fellowship. In addition to their participation in the regularly bi-weekly scheduled Hypertension Conferences, the junior faculty investigators, PI, and senior mentors meet monthly to discuss details of the individual projects and progress being made in preparation for submission of R01 applications. During the past year, the EAC met from March 11th to 13th, 2008, to review progress by all of the junior faculty investigators. All members of the EAC participated in the review. Current members are: 1. Thomas Coffman, MD, Professor & Chief of Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. 2. Norman Rosenblum, MD, Associate Chair of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto and Senior Scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario. 3. John McGiff, MD, Professor & Chairman of Pharmacology, New York Medical College, New York. 4. Michael Klag, MD, MPH., FACP, Dean, Bloomberg School of Public Health, The John Hopkins University, School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. 5. Orson Moe, MD, Professor Internal Medicine in Nephrology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Texas. Dr. Orson Moe, a new member, was added to assist Dr. Hering-Smith in the development of her project. The March EAC site visit proved very productive, producing several helpful suggestions for the junior faculty investigators on the COBRE. The Committee members listened to presentations by junior faculty and provided recommendations for enhancing the projects. The EAC members evaluated the investigators grant applications and offered constructive suggestions to increase the probability for funding. Throughout the year, the EAC members have provided their valuable services in reviewing the research plans of each new junior faculty investigators.
