项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of our Phase IIl Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) program is to continue to provide the strong infrastructure, core laboratory support, and collegial scientific environment necessary to mentor outstanding investigators and foster collaborations within the multidisciplinary and interdepartmental effort i cardiovascular biology at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO). One of the top priorities of our Phase I and Phase II COBRE program has been to increase the number of NIH-RO1 grants in cardiovascular biology by transitioning Junior Investigators from COBRE support to RO1-funded status and to launch these individuals on a successful research career path. This effort has been one major step to a broad institutional initiative to develop a Cardiovascular Center of Excellence at LSUHSC. Over the last 10 years of funding, we built three scientific core facilities that have been instrumental in advancing the scientific programs of COBRE and fellow researchers at LSUHSC. We have matriculated 16 outstanding Jr. Investigators through our program. Of these, 14 received extramural grant awards from NIH and/or the American Heart Association stemming from their COBRE projects. Thus, Phase III support is required to sustain the strong infrastructure and mentoring environment we have developed over the past 10 years as we finalize the transition of our program from COBRE to Institutional support. The following are the Specific Aims of the Phase III program: 1) To provide support to sustain and enhance the infrastructure and use of COBRE Core Facilities, which have been pivotal to the function of our Center's cardiovascular research mission at LSUHSC, 2) To further increase the critical mass of investigators at LSUHSC with research programs in the area of cardiovascular disease through the support of COBRE Pilot Projects and the mentoring mission of our Center, 3) To expand the thematic, multidisciplinary and interdepartmental research program in cardiovascular biology which fosters collaborative relationships between basic and clinician-scientists, 4). To finalize the transition from a COBRE supported program to a nationally recognized, interdisciplinary Center of Excellence with state and federal funding.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们阶段IIL生物医学研究卓越中心（COBRE）计划的目的是继续提供强大的基础架构，核心支持以及在多学科的研究人员和促进多学科和跨部门努力的杰出研究人员和促进协作中所必需的合作环境，这（lsuhsc-no）。我们第一阶段和第二阶段的柯布雷计划的首要任务之一是通过将初级调查人员从柯布雷支持过渡到RO1资助的地位，并以成功的研究职业发展来增加心血管生物学中的NIH-RO1补助金的数量。这项工作是迈向一项在LSUHSC开发心血管卓越中心的广泛机构倡议的重要一步。在过去的10年的资金中，我们建立了三个科学核心设施，这些设施在推进Cobre和LSUHSC研究人员的科学计划方面起着重要作用。通过我们的计划，我们已将16位杰出的研究人员纳入。其中，有14项获得了NIH和/或来自毛病项目的美国心脏协会的校外赠款奖。因此，在我们在过去十年中开发的强大基础设施和指导环境所需的第三阶段支持，因为我们最终确定了从Cobre到机构支持的计划的过渡。 The following are the Specific Aims of the Phase III program: 1) To provide support to sustain and enhance the infrastructure and use of COBRE Core Facilities, which have been pivotal to the function of our Center's cardiovascular research mission at LSUHSC, 2) To further increase the critical mass of investigators at LSUHSC with research programs in the area of cardiovascular disease through the support of COBRE Pilot Projects and the mentoring mission of our Center, 3）扩大心血管生物学的主题，多学科和跨部门研究计划，该计划促进了基础和临床医生之间的协作关系，4）。最终确定了从毛绒支持计划到国家和联邦资助的全国认可的跨学科卓越中心的过渡。
