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 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。 本报告所涉期间是新项目期间的第二年。随着我们继续从卡特里娜飓风造成的破坏中恢复过来，活动水平显著提高。总的来说，COBRE调查人员工作效率很高，在实现我们的目标方面取得了实质性进展。 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。她负责编写和分发中心的通讯。在此期间完成了两份通讯，并计划在今年夏天再出版一份。Nina负责维护中心网站，向网站访问者提供中心活动、COBRE过去和当前项目、新闻、活动日历以及与COBRE相关的所有功能的最新信息。 她定期安排每月COBRE初级研究者会议和每隔一个星期四下午的双周多部门，多机构高血压和肾脏卓越中心会议。 她还负责编写进度报告，为所有项目订购用品和设备，并确保每个项目的支出保持在分配的预算范围内。

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. The period covered by this report represents the second year of the new project period. The level of activity increased markedly as we continue to recover from the devastation caused by Katrina In general, COBRE investigators were highly productive and substantial progress was made towards our goals.
