WV-INBRE PROGRAM EVALUATION

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。 第二阶段WV-INBRE的总体目标是： 1.通过向参与机构的教师、博士后研究员和研究生提供研究支持，发展和加强全州范围内的多学科网络研究基地。该网络将保持科学重点，加强和建立牵头机构和伙伴机构。 2.为本科生提供研究机会，为本科生继续健康研究事业提供渠道。 3.与合作机构合作，加强本科生的研究活动。 4.提高国家工作人员的科学技术知识。 5.加强和发展WV-INBRE与其他NCRR生物医学研究项目(如COBRE和SEPA/HSTA)之间的关系，以增加西弗吉尼亚州学生和参与的本科生教师的生物医学研究机会。 评价核心的作用是提供总结性数据，展示WV-INBRE取得的成就，并就WV-INBRE明年需要改进的方面提供形成性反馈。我们通过进行内部和外部评估，使用调查和专家审查小组的外部现场访问等工具来实现这一点。 我们的内部评估监督WV-INBRE资助的调查人员的成就。这是通过发送给主要首席调查员和第一调查员的调查获得的。我们收集信息，例如这些调查人员发表的出版物、摘要和演示文稿的数量。我们还监测调查人员为外部资金提交的赠款数量。我们跟踪网络机构的研究设施和基础设施的改善情况，以及本科院校招募的新研究人员的数量。我们跟踪我们的WV-INBRE暑期项目本科生的进展和他们的成就。在指导委员会会议期间，在指导委员会会议期间定期评估由研究所资助的项目的进展情况，主要调查员在会上介绍他们正在进行的工作。INBRE资助的调查员的年度研究进展由行政核心(AC)和外部咨询委员会(EAC)监督，后者的意见被收集起来，以形成整体项目评价。咨询委员会或评价核心的成员定期访问一些网络研究所，以评估这些资助机构取得的进展。每年举行一次评估务虚会，在此期间，咨询委员会审查每个资助项目的进展情况，以及WV-INBRE的每个核心所取得的进展。

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 overarching objectives of Phase II WV-INBRE are: 1. Develop and enhance the multi-disciplinary statewide network research base by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at the participating institutions. The network will maintain a scientific focus that will strengthen and build the lead and partner institutions. 2. Provide research opportunities for undergraduate students and to serve as a pipeline for undergraduate students to continue health research careers. 3. Work with partner institutions to enhance research activities for undergraduate students. 4. Enhance science and technology knowledge of the state's workforce. 5. Strengthen and develop stronger relationships between WV-INBRE and other NCRR biomedical research programs (e.g. COBRE and SEPA/HSTA) to enhance biomedical research opportunities for West Virginia's students and participating undergraduate faculty. The role of the Evaluation Core is to provide a summative data that demonstrates the accomplishments of WV-INBRE and provide a formative feedback on aspects of WV-INBRE that needs improvement in the next year. We accomplish this by conducting both an internal and an external evaluation, using tools such as surveys and external site visits by expert review panel. Our Internal evaluation monitors the accomplishments of WV-INBRE funded investigators. This is obtained by surveys that are sent to the major Principal investigators (PIs) and first investigators. We gather information such as the number of publications, abstracts and presentations by these investigators. We also monitor the number of grants submitted by the investigators for external funding. We track the improvements in research facilities and infrastructure in network institutions and the number of newer investigators recruited into the undergraduate institutions. We track the progress of our WV-INBRE summer program undergraduates and their accomplishments. Progress in WV-INBRE funded projects is periodically assessed during the steering committee meetings where the principal investigators present their work in progress. The annual research progress of the INBRE-funded investigators are monitored by the Administrative core (AC) as well as the External Advisory Committee (EAC) whose comments are collected to form the overall project evaluation. Members of the AC or the evaluation core periodically visit some of the network institutes to assess progress made in these funded institutions. Evaluation retreats are held annually during which the AC reviews the progress of each funded project and the progress made by each core of the WV-INBRE.
