The defining role of the Administrative (Admin) Core of the Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics (CBSD) during phase III COBRE funding is to provide the framework that guides efficient and strategic operation of the CBSD so that it becomes a self-sustaining research center at the University of Montana (UM). This task will be led by PD Bruce E. Bowler with assistance from Assistant Director for Budget and Finance Heidi Boggs and her staff. The focus of phase III funding will be on affording guidance and resources to the four research cores supported by the CBSD so that they can grow their user bases and maintain state-of-the- art facilities that will be necessary to give their users a competitive edge for research funding. The Admin Core will build upon the successful programs administered during phases I and II of COBRE funding, which led to 58 grant awards to CBSD investigators that brought in more than $27 million in funding to support their research and use of the four research cores that are critical for maintaining their research programs at the forefront of their research areas. During phase III, the goal of achieving long term sustainability for the CBSD will be achieved by optimizing core recharge structures (specific aim 2) and promoting further growth of research core user bases by 1) ensuring that they continue to offer state-of-the-art facilities (specific aim 1), 2) by facilitating strategic use of Pilot Project grants and 3) by partnering with other COBRE centers at UM and in nearby IDeA states with overlapping needs (specific aim 2). Closely coupled to these core-centric strategies are mentoring programs that keep the research of CBSD researchers at the vanguard of their science (specific aim 3). These programs include 1) the Hot Water grant writing workshop that provides panel-style review of grants before submission that help CBSD researchers at all career stages improve both the clarity and quality of their grant applications and 2) the monthly CBSD Research Meeting that provides a forum for CBSD investigators to present their research in an informal environment meant to stimulate new ideas and promote collaboration with their peers. The Admin Core will also focus the weekly Molecular and Biomedical Sciences Seminar series on prominent outside speakers whose research highlights the leading edge science made possible by our research cores (specific aim 4). This integrated approach will create synergies between the cutting-edge capabilities of our research cores and a scientifically stimulating environment that will grow the research enterprise of the CBSD ensuring its long-term sustainability. Oversight and guidance for this evolution will be provided by our Internal Advisory Committee, which includes representative members of the CBSD community, and an External Advisory Committee comprised of eminent biophysicists and structural biologists.

生物分子结构与动力学中心行政(管理)核心的决定性作用 (CBSD)在第三阶段为Cobre提供资金是为了提供指导高效和战略的框架 CBSD的运作，使其成为蒙大拿大学(UM)一个自给自足的研究中心。 这项工作将由警察布鲁斯·E·鲍勒领导，并得到预算和财务助理主任的协助 海蒂·博格斯和她的工作人员。第三阶段资金的重点将是向以下方面提供指导和资源 由CBSD支持的四个研究核心，以便它们能够扩大用户基础并保持最新状态- 艺术设施将是必要的，以使其用户在研究资金方面具有竞争优势。管理核心 将在科布雷基金第一和第二阶段实施的成功方案的基础上再接再厉，这导致了58 授予CBSD调查人员2700多万美元的资金支持他们的研究 以及使用四个研究核心，这些核心对于保持其研究计划的领先地位至关重要 他们的研究领域。在第三阶段，实现可持续发展战略的长期目标将是 通过优化核心充值结构(具体目标2)和促进研究的进一步增长实现 核心用户群：1)确保他们继续提供最先进的设施(具体目标1)，2)通过 促进试点项目赠款的战略性使用；3)与密歇根大学和华盛顿大学的其他科布雷中心合作 附近有重叠需求的想法状态(具体目标2)。与这些以核心为中心的战略紧密结合 是使CBSD研究人员的研究保持在其科学前沿的指导计划 (具体目标3)。这些计划包括1)热水赠款撰写研讨会，该研讨会提供小组形式的 在提交前审查拨款，帮助CBSD研究人员在所有职业阶段提高清晰度 和他们拨款申请的质量，以及2)每月举行的CBSD研究会议，为 CBSD调查人员将在非正式环境中展示他们的研究，旨在激发新想法和 促进与同行的协作。行政核心还将关注每周一次的分子和生物医学 科学研讨会系列：杰出的外部演讲者，其研究突出前沿科学 我们的研究核心使之成为可能(具体目标4)。这种综合方法将在以下方面产生协同效应 我们研究核心的尖端能力和科学刺激的环境将使 CBSD的研究企业，确保其长期可持续性。对这一演变的监督和指导 将由我们的内部咨询委员会提供，该委员会包括CBSD的代表成员 此外，还设立了一个由著名生物物理学家和结构生物学家组成的外部咨询委员会。
