管理和辅导核心摘要 行政和指导核心将为COBRE活动提供行政领导和指导 在两个合作伙伴生物医学研究机构：缅因州大学（U缅因州）和沙漠山 岛屿生物实验室（MDIBL）。克拉丽莎亨利博士，COBRE PI和缅因大学生物学教授 科学，将担任核心主任。她将得到两名协理主任、高级工作人员 具有广泛的NIH资金和领导能力：大卫哈德博士，大学医学研究教授 （UMaine）和Iain Drummond博士，戴维斯衰老和再生医学中心教授兼主任 （MDIBL）。核心活动将包括监督辅导和试点项目 计划，监督指导委员会、外部咨询委员会和指导委员会，准备进度 报告和总体方案评估。这个核心的委员会结构有意让领导层 来自缅因州其他生物医学研究机构的科学家，包括缅因州医学中心研究所 研究所（MMCRI）和杰克逊实验室（Jax）。管理和指导核心也将是 由研究副总裁办公室和研究生院院长的工作人员提供支持。这 核心有四个目标：（1）提供行政，科学和财政领导，（2）实施有效的职业生涯 发展（指导）计划，以促进初级教师的过渡到独立的RO 1资助 研究人员，（3）有助于缅因州的互动研究网络与区域研究机构允许 中心研究人员参与合作研究，并增强他们的COBRE经验，以及（4）评估 提出COBRE并建立一个可持续的模式。这些目标合在一起将确保 研究项目负责人获得独立的RO1级资助，并将整个生物医学 缅因州大学的研究环境。

ADMINISTRATIVE AND MENTORING CORE ABSTRACT The Administrative and Mentoring Core will provide administrative leadership and direction for COBRE activities across the two partner biomedical research institutions: the University of Maine (UMaine) and Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL). Dr. Clarissa Henry, COBRE PI and UMaine Professor of Biological Sciences, will serve as the Core Director. She will be supported by two Associate Directors, senior personnel with extensive NIH funding and leadership: Dr. David Harder, University Research Professor of Medicine (UMaine) and Dr. Iain Drummond, Professor and Director, Davis Center for Aging and Regenerative Medicine (MDIBL). Administrative and Mentoring Core activities will include oversight of the mentoring and pilot project programs, oversight of the Steering, External Advisory, and Mentoring Committees, preparation of progress reports, and overall program evaluation. The committee structure of this core intentionally engages leading scientists from other biomedical research institutions in Maine, including Maine Medical Center Research Institute (MMCRI) and The Jackson Laboratories (Jax). The Administrative and Mentoring Core will also be supported by staff from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School. This core has four aims: (1) Provide administrative, scientific, and fiscal leadership, (2) Implement an effective career development (mentoring) plan to facilitate the transition of junior faculty to independent RO1-funded investigators, (3) Contribute to Maine’s interactive research network with regional research Institutions allowing Center investigators to engage in collaborative research and enhance their COBRE experience, and (4) Evaluate the proposed COBRE and establish a sustainable model. Taken together, these aims will ensure that the research project leaders achieve independent RO1-level funding as well as transform the overall biomedical research environment at the University of Maine.
