DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project is designed to meet the directives of the CoBRE phase III Transitional Award and will (1) further develop collaborative science and enhance training capabilities for faculty, postdoctoral and graduate trainees and undergraduate students and (2) support modern core facilities and continuously evolve them to provide modern technologies for collaborative research. We will continue existing, effective programs in our Center for Neuroscience for faculty mentoring, support for grant application and management, collaboration and interaction among all CN members, and a summer undergraduate research internship. We will support an institutional core facility director with broad responsibility for core facility oversight, financial management, efficiency and accessibility and advanced technology assessment. Five institutional cores will be supported, which have received support through earlier phases of the CoBRE grant: Transgenic Animal; Genomics; Advanced Imaging; Light and Electron Microscopic Imaging; Tissue Processing and Analysis. Each core is staffed with expert directors and three cores operate with doctorate level laboratory managers, ensuring high levels of expertise for experimental consultations with core users. The Advanced Imaging and Light and Electron Microscopic Imaging cores operate as technology discovery cores through collaborative involvement of laser, magnetic resonance and nuclear physicists who conduct research and assist with core management. Several core facilities are unique in our state, and support basic and translational research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Strong core facility infrastructure will provide direct support for a broad range of basic and translational research projects. These research topics include stroke and drug addiction, which are health disparities in West Virginia, and other pathologies such as congenital sensory disorders and neurodegenerative disease. Pilot projects are designed to forge new types of scientific collaborations to study these topics.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在满足CoBRE第三阶段过渡奖的指示，并将（1）进一步发展协作科学并增强教师、博士后和研究生学员以及本科生的培训能力，以及（2）支持现代化核心设施并不断发展它们，为协作研究提供现代技术。我们将继续在我们的神经科学中心现有的，有效的计划，教师指导，资助申请和管理，所有CN成员之间的合作和互动的支持，以及夏季本科生研究实习。我们将支持设立一个机构核心设施主任，广泛负责核心设施的监督、财务管理、效率和无障碍性以及先进技术评估。五个机构核心将得到支持，这些机构已通过CoBRE赠款的早期阶段获得支持：转基因动物;基因组学;高级成像;光和电子显微镜成像;组织处理和分析。每个核心都配备了专家主任，三个核心与博士水平的实验室管理人员一起运作，确保与核心用户进行实验咨询的高水平专业知识。高级成像和光电子显微镜成像核心通过激光、磁共振和核物理学家的协作参与作为技术发现核心运行，这些物理学家进行研究并协助核心管理。几个核心设施在我们国家是独一无二的，并支持基础和转化研究。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：强大的核心设施基础设施将为广泛的基础和转化研究项目提供直接支持。这些研究主题包括中风和药物成瘾，这是西弗吉尼亚州的健康差距，以及其他病理学，如先天性感觉障碍和神经退行性疾病。试点项目旨在建立新型的科学合作，以研究这些主题。
