Administrative and Professional Development Core

行政和专业发展核心（L。Liaw，核心总监） 行政和专业发展核心是由露西廖博士，PD/PI的这个COBRE 在MaineHealth。她将继续领导这一成功的计划，该计划已蓬勃发展， 稳定和专门的管理和辅导，强有力的机构支持，有针对性地征聘 外部调查人员，以及改进最先进的科学核心设施。在这个项目的第一阶段， 最初的四个初级项目负责人都获得了NIH R 01/R37独立资助，我们已经招募了 三个额外的初级研究员项目导致我们的计划。我们的核心设施继续保持在高水平 根据我们的COBRE小组和外部调查人员的要求，我们已经对仪器进行了改进 并根据用户需求开发新技术。在第二阶段，我们将增加一个额外的初级 调查员对我们两名新招募的外部人员进行了调查。本次更新建议支持三个初级 研究者的项目集中在产热脂肪细胞和全身代谢，肠骨轴以下 减肥手术，以及孕妇夜班工作对孕前糖尿病和慢性 糖尿病风险COBRE计划第二阶段的目标是促进和支持科学生产力， 合作，加强和协调我们的研究基础设施，寻求和扩大科学专业知识， 并积极监督和监测专业发展计划。为了实现这些目标， 行政和专业发展核心将提供组织框架和领导， 促进和鼓励成功。我们正在继续支持三个非常成功的科学核心设施 在生理学、组织学和显微镜、蛋白质组学和脂质组学领域。我国行政 基础设施依赖于强大的指导网络，项目负责人至少聘请两名导师， 季度会议和反馈。此外，每月定期召开COBRE团队会议，每季度召开临床 合作伙伴会议和两次年度咨询委员会会议使我们的正式研究进展更加圆满 框架.该行政核心的目的是提供研究行政和组织 支持实现总体方案的目标，即： 1)提供领导，以发展强大的中心基础设施，包括行政、财务和 科学管理，以支持代谢领域合作研究和资源的增长 健康和疾病， 2)支持COBRE调查人员和校友的职业发展， 3)保持高质量的共享科学资源， 4)实现这些目标，同时建立一个多元化的研究社区，由以下原则指导： 包容和公平。

Administrative and Professional Development Core (L. Liaw, Core Director) The Administrative and Professional Development Core is led by Lucy Liaw PhD, the PD/PI of this COBRE program at MaineHealth. She will continue leadership of this successful program, which has flourished via steady and dedicated management and mentorship, robust institutional support, targeted recruitment of external investigators, and improvement of state-of-the-art scientific core facilities. In Phase I of this program, all of the four initial junior project leads received NIH R01/R37 independent funding, and we have recruited three additional junior investigator project leads to our program. Our core facilities continue to be in high demand from our COBRE group and external investigators, and we have made instrumentation improvements and developed new technologies based on user needs. In Phase II, we will be adding an additional junior investigator project to our two newly initiated external recruits. This renewal proposes support for three junior investigator projects focused on thermogenic adipocytes and systemic metabolism, the gut-bone axis following bariatric surgery, and the impact of night shift work of pregnant women on pre-gestational diabetes and chronic diabetes risk. The goals of this Phase II COBRE program are to foster and support scientific productivity and collaboration, enhance and coordinate our research infrastructure, seek out and expand scientific expertise, and actively oversee and monitor a professional development program. To accomplish these goals, this Administrative and Professional Development Core will provide the organizational framework and leadership to facilitate and encourage success. We are continuing support of three highly successful scientific core facilities in the areas of Physiology, Histopathology and Microscopy, and Proteomics and Lipidomics. Our administrative infrastructure relies on a robust mentoring network, with project leads engaging at least two mentors for quarterly meetings and feedback. In addition, regular monthly COBRE team meetings, quarterly Clinical Partners meetings, and twice annual Advisory Committee meetings round out our formal research progress framework. The aims of this Administrative Core are to provide the research administrative and organizational support to meet the goals of the overall program, which are: 1) Provide leadership to evolve a robust Center infrastructure including administrative, fiscal and scientific management to support growth of collaborative research and resources in metabolic health and disease, 2) Support career advancement for COBRE investigators and alumni, 3) Maintain high quality shared scientific resources, and 4) Accomplish these goals while building a diverse research community that is guided by principles of inclusion and equity.
