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 Administrative Core (AC) managed various aspects of the RI-INBRE Program such as budgets, expenditures, subcontracts, personnel matters, communication with NCRR and participating institutions, review of new research subprojects and Pilot Projects, organization of meetings of the Mentoring Committee, Steering Committee (SC) and External Advisory Committee (EAC), program-related travel, development and administration of surveys for program evaluation, and preparation and submission of the Annual Progress Report. The Program Director and Program Coordinator held weekly meetings with the program staff, and other core coordinators as needed, to resolve any issues and plan program activities. Issues related to specific policy matters and performance reviews of the investigators resulting from the Mentoring Committee Reports were discussed at the SC and the EAC meetings. Further details about the Mentoring Committees and their impact on investigator productivity are provided in the overall program summary in this APR. Provided separately are also the summaries of minutes of the EAC meetings. Prior to their inclusion in the Program, the new subprojects were rigorously evaluated and revised with the assistance of ad hoc external reviewers and members of the EAC. The SC and EAC also provided input during preparation of several supplemental grant applications. Of these, the application for improvement of cyberinfrastructure in the state and expansion of personnel support for the Bioinformatics Core was awarded. In addition to a Bioinformatist, a part-time staff person was also appointed to serve as a liaison with the network institutions, track students through surveys, and prepare a newsletter. The first issue of the RI-INBRE Newsletter was published in fall 2009 and the next issue is planned for spring 2010. Due to personnel turnover, the Newsletter editor position is currently vacant. The AC staff organized two faculty Retreats and student poster conferences. These consisted of the annual Summer Retreat in August 2009 and Winter Retreat in January 2010. The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program was expanded to include all students working at the six participating institutions. One of the SC members from each PUI took on the responsibility to administer the summer program at their respective institutions. For the second year in a row, the SURF Conference was coordinated and organized jointly with the RI EPSCoR program. Also, in collaboration with the SEPA program at Brown University, two high school teachers participated in the summer research experience with one of the RI-INBRE investigators at a PUI. The teachers planned to apply the research methodology in their respective science classes to enrich students' learning experience and pique their interest in science. A detailed description of the summer program is provided elsewhere under student training. Along with RI EPSCoR and COBRE programs, the AC co-sponsored the RI Alliance Symposium in Providence, RI. The Program Director and Program Coordinator also attended the Northeast Regional IDeA Meeting in Whitefield, NH. The next meeting of the group will be hosted by the RI-INBRE program. Finally, in April 2010, an AAAS panel will conduct a site visit to the Program in order to evaluate the progress made during the initial year of this 5-year Program.

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。 行政核心（AC）管理RI-INBRE计划的各个方面，如预算、支出、分包合同、人事事项、与NCRR和参与机构的沟通、审查新的研究子项目和试点项目、组织指导委员会、指导委员会（SC）和外部咨询委员会（EAC）的会议、与计划有关的旅行、计划评估调查的制定和管理、以及编制和提交年度进展报告。 项目总监和项目协调员每周与项目工作人员和其他核心协调员（如需要）举行会议，以解决任何问题并规划项目活动。 在SC和EAC会议上讨论了与指导委员会报告产生的具体政策事项和研究者绩效审查相关的问题。 关于指导委员会及其对研究者生产力影响的更多详细信息，请参见本APR的总体项目总结。另外还提供了EAC会议记录总结。 新的次级项目在纳入该方案之前，在特设外部审查员和选管会成员的协助下进行了严格的评估和修订。 SC和EAC还在准备几项补充赠款申请期间提供了投入。其中，用于改善该州网络基础设施和扩大对生物信息学核心的人员支持的申请被授予。 除了一名生物信息学家外，还任命了一名兼职工作人员作为与网络机构的联络人，通过调查跟踪学生，并编写时事通讯。 研究所通讯的第一期于2009年秋季出版，下一期计划于2010年春季出版。 由于人员更替，通讯编辑职位目前空缺。 AC工作人员组织了两次教师务虚会和学生海报会议。 其中包括2009年8月的年度夏季务虚会和2010年1月的冬季务虚会。 夏季本科生研究奖学金（SURF）计划扩大到包括在六个参与机构工作的所有学生。 每个PUI的一名SC成员负责管理各自机构的暑期课程。 连续第二年，分区域资源中心会议是与国际扶轮社EPSCoR方案联合协调和组织的。 此外，在与布朗大学的SEPA计划合作，两名高中教师参加了夏季研究经验与RI-INBRE调查员之一在PUI。 教师计划将研究方法应用于各自的科学课，以丰富学生的学习经验及激发他们对科学的兴趣。暑期课程的详细说明在其他地方提供的学生培训。 沿着国际扶轮EPSCoR与COBRE计画，AC在国际扶轮普罗维登斯共同主办国际扶轮联盟研讨会。 项目主任和项目协调员还参加了在新罕布什尔州怀特菲尔德举行的东北地区IDEA会议。 该小组的下一次会议将由RI-INBRE计划主办。 最后，在2010年4月，美国科学促进会的一个小组将对该计划进行实地考察，以评估该五年计划第一年取得的进展。
