Administrative Core

项目摘要 摘要：行政核心的总体目的是巩固和集中所有 必要的资源，以确保宿主-病原体相互作用COBRE中心的成功。这一核心 将支持研究人员专注于确定免疫调节的潜在机制， 宿主的各种感染，并确定可能的治疗这些毁灭性的疾病。背景下 在目前资金紧张的环境下，成功取决于许多因素，包括优秀的导师， 获得足够的研究空间，现代设备和当前技术， 行政负担，沿着促进合作，在这个充满活力的社区的研究人员与 在各种传染病模型中研究宿主-病原体相互作用的共同兴趣。因此我们 我们认为人类的共同努力对建立我们的研究事业至关重要。因此 行政核心将支持我们集团活动的许多重要方面，包括（1）实施 全面，但个性化的辅导计划;（2）提供结构化的机会，建立和 促进小组内富有成效的科学互动;（3）提高小组在国家一级的形象， 建立2个新的核心设施;（4）培训研究人员如何最好地利用先进的 技术提供给他们;（5）支持我们的访问演讲者研讨会系列;（6）支持特定的 传染病相关的医学和健康科学学院图书馆的收购;（7）组织我们的 年度专题讨论会/讲习班;（8）通过其他北方国家之间的年度会议促进合作 Dakota COBRE和INBRE资助团体和各自团体中的个人之间;以及 (9)支持导师计划，我们的内部咨询和导师委员会成员 和我们的外部顾问委员会发挥积极作用。作为我们的导师计划的一部分，我们将每月 会议侧重于科学，科学合作，面向教师的生存技能，赠款写作，和 获得资金，以建立个人和团体的成功。我们相信，我们的青年教师将作为一个 由于这种坚定的互动，建立这个研究小组，以增加国际知名度之一。

Project Summary Summary: The overall purpose of the Administrative Core is to consolidate and centralize all of the necessary resources to ensure the success of the COBRE Center on Host-pathogen Interactions. This core will support investigators focused on determining the mechanisms underlying immune modulations in the host upon various infections and to identify possible treatments for these devastating illnesses. In the context of the current tight funding environment, success depends on many factors including excellent mentorship, access to adequate research space, modern equipment, and current technology, freedom from administrative burdens, along with facilitated collaboration within this vibrant community of researchers with a common interest in studying the host-pathogen interactions in various infectious disease models. Thus, we view a concerted human effort as being essential to build our research enterprise. Accordingly, the Administrative Core will support many essential aspects of our group's activities including (1) implementing a comprehensive, but individualized mentoring program; (2) providing structured opportunities to establish and facilitate productive scientific interactions within the group; (3) raising the national profile of the group and establishing 2 new core facilties; (4) training investigators in how best to take advantage of the advanced technologies available to them; (5) supporting our visiting speaker seminar series; (6) supporting specific infectious disease-related School of Medicine and Health Sciences library acquisitions; (7) organizing our annual symposium/workshop; (8) fostering collaborations through annual meetings between the other North Dakota COBRE and INBRE grant supported groups and between individuals in the respective groups; and (9) supporting mentorship programs for which members of our Internal Advisory and Mentoring Committee and our External Advisory Board play active roles. As part of our mentorship program we will have monthly meetings focusing on science, scientific collaborations, faculty-orientated survival skills, grant writing, and obtaining funding to build individual and group success. We are confident that our junior faculty will, as a result of such committed interactions, build this research group to one of increased international prominence.
