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.

实验传染病研究中心的两个重叠的主题研究领域 （CEIDR）已研究媒介传播的传染病和传染病的免疫发病机制。我们 预计将聘用 5-7 名额外教职人员，包括路易斯安那州立大学学院之间的联合任命 兽医学 (LSU-SVM) 和杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心 (TNPRC)，在 未来五年。为了促进实现 NIH 资助的研究人员达到临界数量的主要目标， 第三阶段 COBRE 应用包括一个具有两个目的的研究试点项目计划。首先， 它将为初级研究人员提供资金，他们将在以下人员的指导下开展初步研究工作 两名高级 CEIDR 研究人员，与 COBRE 第一阶段和第二阶段一样。这些试点项目将受到监督 并由内部科学咨询委员会（ISAC）、外部咨询委员会（EAC）评估 和行政核心（AC）。其次，试点项目计划将提供额外的协作 路易斯安那州立大学和 TNPRC 科学家以“共同”首席研究员身份开展研究工作 安排。试点研究计划的主要目标是快速增加投资回报率的数量 通过对新研究人员的大力指导和财政支持，获得 NIH 的申请和资助金额 具有获得 NIH 资助潜力的合作项目。所有试点项目均获得核心优先权 支持服务为每个项目提供强大的研究工具，帮助他们在一年内取得成功 分配给每个试点项目。只有在 ISAC 审查后才会考虑第二年的试点资金， EAC 和 AC 用于取得杰出成果的项目，最近在 每个试点的主题，或已收到 NIH 提交的申请的审查，得分在 资金的 10 个百分点。我们预计两个合作项目的资金各为 75,000 美元， 每年 50,000 美元的两个试点项目。每个试点项目的核心费用将按成本的50%给予补贴。 该战略将通过让新的调查人员参与来维持核心设备和服务，这些调查人员预计将 当这些设施成功地以按服务收费为基础获得外部资金时，继续使用这些设施。
