The two overlapping thematic research areas ofthe Centerfor Experimental Infectious Disease Research (CEIDR) have been vector-borne infectious diseases and immunopathogenesis of infectious diseases. We foresee that 5-7 additional faculty will be hired, including joint appointments between the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (LSU-SVM) and the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC), during the next five years. To facilitate the main goal of achieving a critical mass of NIH-funded investigators, the Phase III COBRE application includes a Research Pilot Project Program that has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, it will provide funding for junior investigators who will pursue initial research efforts under the mentorship of two senior CEIDR investigators, as with the COBRE phases I and II. These pilot projects will be monitored and evaluated by the Intemal Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC), the Extemal Advisory Committee (EAC) and the Administrative Core (AC). Secondly, the pilot project program will provide for additional collaborative research efforts between LSU and TNPRC-based scientists working in "shared" principal investigator arrangements. The main goal ofthe pilot research program is to rapidly increase the number of ROI applications and amount of NIH funding through strong mentoring of new investigators and financial support of collaborative projects that have high potential for NIH funding. All pilot projects w\\\ receive priority for core support services providing each project with strong research tools to help them succeed within the one year allotted to each pilot project. A second year of pilot funding will only be considered after review by the ISAC, EAC and AC for projects that accomplish outstanding results, as evidenced by recent publications on the subject matter of each pilot, or that have received review of a NIH-submitted application that scores within 10 percentile points of funding. We anticipate the funding of two collaborative projects at $75,000 each and two pilot projects at $50,000 annually. Core charges for each pilot project will be subsidized at 50% of cost. This strategy will sustain core equipment and services by involving new investigators who are expected to continue using these facilities as they succeed in obtaining extramural funding on a fee-for-service basis.

这两个重叠的主题研究领域，用于实验性传染病研究 （CEIDR）一直是媒介传播的传染病和传染病的免疫发作。我们 预见，将聘请5-7个额外教师，包括LSU学校之间的联合任命 兽医医学（LSU-SVM）和图兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（TNPRC），期间 接下来的五年。为了促进实现大量NIH资助的调查人员的主要目标， 第三阶段的COBRE应用程序包括一个研究试点项目计划，该计划具有两个折叠的目的。首先， 它将为初级调查人员提供资金，他们将在 两名高级CEIDR调查人员，以及I阶段I和II阶段。这些试点项目将受到监控 并由Intemal Scientific咨询委员会（ISAC）评估，埃及咨询委员会（EAC） 和行政核心（AC）。其次，试点项目计划将提供其他协作 LSU与基于TNPRC的科学家之间的研究工作 安排。试点研究计划的主要目标是快速增加ROI的数量 通过大力指导新调查人员和财务支持，申请和NIH资金数量 NIH资金潜力很高的协作项目。所有飞行员项目w \\\均获得Core的优先级 支持服务为每个项目提供强大的研究工具，以帮助他们在一年内取得成功 分配给每个试点项目。艾萨克（ISAC）审查后，第二年的试点资金才会考虑 EAC和AC用于取得出色成果的项目，最近出版物证明了 每个飞行员的主题，或已收到对NIH提交的申请的审查 10％的资金点。我们预计两个合作项目的资金为每个$ 75,000， 两次飞行员每年以50,000美元的价格项目。每个试点项目的核心费用将以成本的50％进行补贴。 该策略将通过参与新调查人员来维持核心设备和服务 继续使用这些设施，因为它们成功地获得了支付费用。
