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 Montana State University (MSU) COBRE Administrative Core A is directed by Dr. Mark Quinn. Dr. Quinn provides administrative oversight, chairs the Executive Committee, and serves as a research advocate and coordinator of the scientific research conducted under MSU COBRE. The purpose of this core is to provide administrative support and services to the Project Leaders (PLs), Core Directors, Research Mentors, new faculty hires, and to all investigators and technical personnel working on the scientific projects and Cores of the center. Dr. Quinn works directly with the project mentors to guide and coordinate the program projects and new faculty hires, and it is through this Core that the projects and related cores of the center are interwoven and regularly assessed. Under this oversight, Dr. Quinn is responsible for the leadership, management, staffing, and resource allocation, and for administering the MSU COBRE in accordance with NIH policies. The Administrative Core also includes an Administrative and Accounting Associate who organizes the COBRE events and conferences and provides fiscal management and support for all aspects of the program and a Program Evaluator who collects and analyzes data and reports on the progress of the programs. The Administrative Core is comprised of several additional components. The Executive Committee (EC) includes the Program Director (PD) and the Core Directors. The Cores of the Center include directors from the Genomics and Proteomics Core (Core B), Molecular and Cellular Analysis Core (Core C), and BSL-3 Core (Core D). Directors from each COBRE Core are Veterinary Molecular Biology faculty and also participate on the Mentoring Board. As a whole, the EC reviews COBRE PL progress reports, sets priorities for research efforts on program projects, provides directives of all the Cores' activities, and makes recommendations to the PD for future center directions. The External Advisory Committee (EAC) advises on scientific, administrative, and research elements of the COBRE Program. The EAC reviews the MSU COBRE's performance, specific aims, and evaluates the longitudinal progress of the program and individual research projects. EAC activities include concept development, program planning, research project development and mentoring, identification of resources, and evaluation of progress toward stated goals. In some cases, EAC members provide mentoring assistance to Project Leaders and identify potential national mentors and collaborators. The committee is comprised of nationally recognized scientists and includes: Jerry McGhee, University of Alabama-Birmingham and internationally known expert in mucosal immunity; Christopher Wilson, Head of the Department of Immunology at the University of Washington and internationally recognized expert in immunity to infectious disease; and Dr. John R. Perfect, Director of Mycology Research Unit at Duke University. Dr. Perfect's research team investigates anti-fungal agents in animal models of candida and cryptococcal infections. During the 2008-2009 reporting period, Dr. John Collier stepped down as a member of the EAC due to other commitments. In Dr. Collier's place, the Core recruited Dr. Guy Palmer from Washington State University to serve on the EAC, which has been approved by the NCRR Program Office. Dr. Palmer is a Regents Professor of Pathology and Infectious Diseases and Director of Graduate Studies and the Infectious Diseases Training Program at Washington State University. Dr. Palmer is also a National Academy Member. Dr. Palmer's research mainly uses genomics and proteomics to indentify new targets for vaccine development with the goal of preventing infectious diseases. Dr. Palmer's experience, positions, and research all make him an ideal addition to the EAC. The Administrative Core organizes several programs to enhance research experiences and publicize the MSU COBRE Program, namely the national speaker series, the Annual Research Conference, oversight of the Pilot Project Program (formerly Mini Grants Program), and support for Bioinformatics Facility and Research within a cross-campus and interdisciplinary collaborative model. The national speaker series brings world-class infectious disease researchers to MSU campus. The COBRE-sponsored speakers tour labs at MSU and meet with COBRE researchers and students. These visits expose all faculty and students to cutting-edge science and provide informal review of ongoing research. COBRE students and faculty prepare for the seminars by reading journal articles and background science on the speakers' research prior to their visits. The annual research conferences and symposia are important venues that allow project leaders and other important researchers to showcase their research, interact with other researchers who share similar interests, and brainstorm new techniques and ways to expand or improve the science. Starting with Year 5, the mini-grants were reclassified as "Pilot Projects." This aspect of the Core still serves the same function. Namely, Pilot Projects provide vital funds for projects that have been successful in developing larger, federally-funded grants. Support for bioinformatics is crucial for COBRE, but also for researchers and students across MSU.

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。 蒙大拿州立大学（MSU）COBRE行政核心A由Mark Quinn博士指导。 Quinn博士提供行政监督，担任执行委员会主席，并担任MSU COBRE下进行的科学研究的研究倡导者和协调员。 该核心的目的是为项目负责人（PL），核心主任，研究导师，新员工以及所有研究人员和技术人员提供行政支持和服务。Quinn博士直接与项目导师合作，指导和协调项目项目和新的教师招聘，正是通过这个核心，中心的项目和相关核心交织在一起，并定期进行评估。 Quinn负责领导，管理，人员配备和资源分配，并根据NIH政策管理MSU COBRE。 行政核心还包括一名行政和会计助理，负责组织COBRE活动和会议，并为计划的各个方面提供财务管理和支持，以及一名计划评估员，负责收集和分析数据并报告计划的进展情况。 行政核心由几个附加部分组成。 执行委员会（EC）包括项目主任（PD）和核心主任。 该中心的核心包括来自基因组学和蛋白质组学核心（核心B），分子和细胞分析核心（核心C）和BSL-3核心（核心D）的董事。 每个COBRE核心的董事都是兽医分子生物学教师，也参与指导委员会。 作为一个整体，EC审查COBRE PL进度报告，为计划项目的研究工作设定优先级，为所有核心活动提供指导，并向PD提出未来中心方向的建议。 外部咨询委员会（EAC）就COBRE计划的科学、行政和研究要素提供建议。EAC审查MSU COBRE的绩效，具体目标，并评估该计划和单个研究项目的纵向进展。 EAC的活动包括概念开发、项目规划、研究项目开发和指导、资源识别以及对既定目标进展的评估。 在某些情况下，东非共同体成员向项目领导人提供指导援助，并确定潜在的国家导师和合作者。 该委员会由国家公认的科学家组成，包括：Jerry McGhee，伯明翰大学，国际知名的粘膜免疫专家; Christopher Wilson，华盛顿大学免疫学系主任，国际公认的传染病免疫专家;以及John R.完美，杜克大学真菌学研究中心主任。Perfect博士的研究小组在念珠菌和隐球菌感染的动物模型中研究抗真菌剂。 在2008-2009年报告所述期间，John Collier博士由于其他承诺而辞去了东非共同体成员的职务。 在科利尔博士的位置上，核心从华盛顿州立大学招募了盖伊·帕尔默博士为EAC服务，这已经得到了NCRR项目办公室的批准。 Palmer博士是华盛顿州立大学病理学和传染病的摄政教授，也是研究生研究和传染病培训项目的主任。 帕尔默博士也是国家科学院成员。 帕尔默博士的研究主要利用基因组学和蛋白质组学来确定疫苗开发的新靶点，以预防传染病。 帕尔默博士的经验，职位和研究都使他成为EAC的理想补充。 行政核心组织了几个方案，以提高研究经验和宣传MSU COBRE计划，即国家演讲系列，年度研究会议，试点项目计划（以前的迷你赠款计划）的监督，并支持跨校园和跨学科的合作模式内的生物信息学设施和研究。 国家演讲者系列将世界一流的传染病研究人员带到MSU校园。 COBRE赞助的演讲者参观了密歇根州立大学的实验室，并会见了COBRE的研究人员和学生。 这些访问使所有教师和学生接触到前沿科学，并对正在进行的研究进行非正式审查。 COBRE的学生和教师在访问之前通过阅读期刊文章和演讲者研究的背景科学来为研讨会做准备。 年度研究会议和专题讨论会是重要的场所，让项目负责人和其他重要的研究人员展示他们的研究，与其他有着相似兴趣的研究人员互动，并集思广益新的技术和方法来扩展或改进科学。 从第五年开始，小额赠款被重新归类为“试点项目”。“核心的这一部分仍然发挥着同样的作用。 也就是说，试点项目为那些成功地开发了更大规模的联邦资助赠款的项目提供了至关重要的资金。 对生物信息学的支持对COBRE至关重要，对整个MSU的研究人员和学生也至关重要。
