这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 A.具体目标： 获奖建议书的目标没有发生任何变化。这些措施是：(1)加强和加强英联邦在三个特定研究领域的科学基础设施和研究竞争力，这些领域被认为是提高波多黎各生物医学和行为研究能力的关键；(2)提高生产力、竞争力和人力资源数量，以吸引这些研究领域的知名研究人员；以及(3)促进有才华的初级调查人员和有天赋的学生的研究技能的发展。 (INBRE-PR)项目总监(P.I.)领导所有指导委员会会议，这些会议产生了INBRE-PR计划的政策、实践和实施方案。行政核心工作人员协调外部咨询委员会的访问。外部咨询委员会对INBRE-PR网络的各个机构进行实地访问，并与初级学院研究奖获得者举行年度会议。外部咨询委员会评估进展情况，并提出改进方案的建议。特别是，与INBRE-Kentucky合作的指导倡议(MI)由PI监督，并由Walter Silva博士协调。 因此，MI的目标是： (1)提升INBRE网络机构的研究文化和环境 (A)讨论和协调INBRE参与机构在各方面研究领域的战略计划，以及 (B)组织工作队和重点小组，以确定与支持竞争性研究的丰富环境密切相关的授奖前和授奖后服务东道主的最佳做法。 (2)加强联网机构科研人员的个人能力 (A)对参与《研究合规负责任行为方案》([RC]2P)的科学家和潜在参与者进行认证， (B)制定现有和未来研究人员的个人研究发展计划； (C)组织发展活动，以丰富和加强对培养有竞争力和多产的科学家至关重要的核心科学技能， (3)通过年度研究生产力指数(RPI)的测定，评估个人、群体和机构的研究进展。 PR-AABRE的外部独立评估 INBRE-PR与波多黎各大学医学院校区公共卫生研究生院评估和社会医学研究中心(CIES)签约，担任该计划的外部评估者。在这一角色中，CIES将设计和实施INBRE-PR的过程和结果评估。该评估将评估INBRE-PR在建立机构和全州科学网络方面的有效性。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. A. Specific Aims: No changes haves been instituted in the aims of the awarded proposal. These are to: (1) enhance and strengthen the scientific infrastructure and research competitiveness of the Commonwealth in three specific research areas deemed to be key to advance Puerto Rico's biomedical and behavioral research capacity; (2) elevate the productivity, competitiveness, and number of human resources needed to attract established investigators in those research areas; and (3) promote the development of research skills of talented junior investigators and gifted students. The (INBRE-PR) Program Director (P.I.) leads all Steering Committee meetings from which policy, practices and implementation protocols for the INBRE-PR program emanate. The Administrative Core staff coordinates the visits of the External Advisory Committee. The External Advisory Committee makes site-visits to various INBRE-PR network institutions and has annual meetings with Junior Faculty Research awardees. The External Advisory Committee evaluates progress and forwards suggestions used to improve the program. In particular, a Mentoring Initiative (MI) in collaboration with INBRE-Kentucky is overseen by the PI and coordinated by Dr. Walter Silva. The MI therefore aims to: (1) enhance the research culture and environment of INBRE network institutions by (a) the discussion and alignment of INBRE participating institutions' strategic plans in the area of research in all of its dimensions, and, (b) organization of task forces and focus groups to identify best practices in the host of pre-award and post-award services germane to enriched environments supportive of competitive research. (2) enhance the capabilities of individual research scientists from the networking institutions by means of (a) certification of participating scientists and potential participants in a comprehensive Responsible Conduct in Research Compliance Program ([RC]2P), (b) the establishment of Individual Research Development Plans (IRDP) of present and prospective researchers, (c) organization of developmental activities to enrich and enhance core scientific skills fundamental for the development of competitive, and productive scientists, (3) assess individual, group and institutional research progress by means of the annual determination of research productivity indexes (RPI). EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF PR-AABRE INBRE-PR contracted Center for Evaluation and Sociomedical Research (CIES) of the Graduate School of Public Health, University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus to serve as the external evaluator of the program. In this role the CIES will design and implement the process and outcome evaluation of INBRE-PR. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of INBRE-PR to build an institutional and statewide scientific network.
