Project Summary Administrative Core The Administrative Core of the Integrative Neuroscience COBRE will be directed by the COBRE program director and assisted by the administrative program officer. This core will oversee all aspects of management, evaluation, and strategic planning for the center and the associated cores and pilot program. It will organize the meetings of the Executive Committee (composed of the core and pilot directors) the Steering Committee (Executive Committee plus university administration and core user representatives), and the External Advisory Committee, and will implement the recommendations from these advisory committees. The Administrative Core will prepare progress reports and provide these for the External Advisory Committee and NIGMS. It will serve as a liaison between the COBRE and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), other UNR COBRE’s, and the Nevada IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) program. It will also serve to strategically connect the COBRE to the Institute for Neuroscience and neuroscience training initiatives including the Graduate Program in Integrative Neuroscience. The Administrative Core will also provide full logistical and administrative support for both the pilot project program and the core facilities, and the planning and implementation of business models for transitioning the cores to user- or institution-funded facilities. This will include maintaining the budget, employee records, and equipment inventories, support for human and animal protocols, and support for grants and grant reports. The core will administer travel funds for training and for attending the annual meetings of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, and will support the seminar series to bring leading investigators to UNR to discuss their work. Finally, this core will be responsible for the ongoing evaluation and assessment of the COBRE. The core will be based in space in the Psychology Building (Mack Social Science), in space contiguous with the Neuroimaging Core, very close to the offices and labs of the program director and all 12 of the cognitive neuroscience faculty labs in Psychology.
