TULANE COBRE IN HYPERTENSION AND RENAL BIOLOGY: ADMIN CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 在本报告所述期间，指导核心为PI以及5名高级导师和核心主任提供了薪金支助。行政核心还在8-10周的夏季研究奖学金期间支持了3名博士后研究员、4名研究生、1名医学/博士生和4名医学生，从而帮助实现了我们在高血压研究和相关领域增加新兴研究人员的目标。Cobre调查人员出席国家会议和会议的旅费已支付。本报告所涉期间是新项目期的第三年。随着我们能够从卡特里娜飓风造成的破坏中恢复过来，活动水平继续增加。总体而言，Cobre调查人员工作效率很高，朝着我们的目标取得了实质性进展。 尼娜·R·马吉德女士自2007年5月以来一直担任方案协调员，负责维护与科布雷有关的所有记录。她负责编写和分发该中心的通讯。在此期间完成了三份通讯，并计划在今年夏天再出版一份。NINA负责维护中心网站，向网站访问者通报中心活动的最新信息、科布雷过去和当前的项目、新闻、活动日历以及与科布雷有关的所有功能。她每月定期安排科布雷初级研究员会议，并在每隔一周的星期四下午安排两周一次的多部门、多机构高血压和肾脏卓越中心会议。在2010年3月11日举行的世界肾脏日期间，项目协调员还帮助组织了这些活动。在当地NKF分会的合作下，对个人进行了可能的肾脏疾病筛查，并就有助于防止高血压和肾脏疾病发展的生活方式提出了建议。方案协调员还负责编写进度报告，订购所有项目的用品和设备，并确保每个项目的支出保持在分配的预算之内。项目协调员还负责为初级教师调查员、PI和高级导师组织每月会议，讨论个别项目的细节和在准备提交R01申请方面取得的进展。还组织了每两周一次的研讨会，邀请地方、国家和国内知名的演讲者就他们的专业领域发表演讲。

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 mentoring core provided salary support for the PI and for 5 senior mentors and core directors this reporting period. The Administrative Core also supported 3 postdoctoral fellows, 4 graduate students, one MD/PhD student, and 4 medical students during a 8-10 week summer research Fellowships, thus helping to fulfill our aim of increasing the pool of emerging investigators in hypertension research and related areas. Travel expenses were covered for COBRE investigators presenting at national meetings and conferences. The period covered by this report represents the third year of the new project period. The level of activity continued to increase as we are able to recover from the devastation caused by Katrina. In general, COBRE investigators were highly productive and substantial progress was made towards our goals. Ms. Nina R Majid has been the program coordinator since May 2007 and maintains all records relating to the COBRE. She is responsible for the preparation and dissemination of newsletters from the Center. Three newsletters were completed during this period and one more is planned for this summer. Nina is 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 all functions related to the COBRE. She arranges regular monthly COBRE junior investigator meetings and the bi-weekly multi-departmental, multi-institutional Hypertension and Renal Center of Excellence Conference on alternate Thursday afternoons. The program coordinator also helped to organize the activities during World Kidney Day which was held on March 11, 2010. In cooperation with the local NKF Chapter, individuals were screened for possible kidney diseases and were given advice about life style modifications that could help prevent the development of hypertension and kidney disease. The program coordinator is also responsible for the preparation of the progress reports and orders supplies and equipment for all projects and ensures that the expenditures for each project remain within the allocated budgets. The program coordinator is also responsible for organizing monthly meetings for the junior faculty investigators, PI, and senior mentors to discuss details of the individual projects and progress being made in preparation for submission of R01 applications. Bi-weekly seminars are also organized where speakers of local, national, and internal prominence are invited to present talks on their field of expertise.
