CORE A: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校的RCMI项目继续增强南德克萨斯州的神经科学和蛋白质组学能力。 RCMI计划的组织结构变化始于2005年3月，当时Matthew Gdovin博士被任命为临时计划主任，并继续发展，包括任命新的首席研究员Robert Gracy博士，研究副总裁。 Gdovin博士立即开始解决NIH总结声明中的所有问题，建议和批评。 在2006年12月4日NIH对UTSA进行行政现场访问之前，UTSA的RCMI项目的最终进展记录在提交给NCRR的行政报告中。 NIH在现场访问后的后续报告对RCMI计划响应NIH摘要声明和UTSA RCMI计划的科学进展而制定的变化非常积极。 概述 UTSA现在是仅次于奥斯汀校区的第二大学生入学率（超过28，500人）。过去一年的研究增长比前一年增长了37%，UTSA现在在所有UT系统大学的研究中排名第三。UTSA今年启动了成为一流研究型大学的战略计划。 该战略计划的目标是成为全国一流的研究机构。为此，已经进行了重大的行政改革。该大学聘请了第一位研究副校长（罗伯特·格雷西博士），主要的基础设施升级正在进行中。已经有一个新的生物技术科学与工程大楼（230,000平方米）。（英尺）科学和工程大楼（190，000平方米）已开放。（英尺）定于2007年初破土动工。申办项目办公室（OSP）主任和全职兽医/实验室动物工作人员致力于获得AAALAC认证。 与德克萨斯大学健康科学中心合作，增加了一个新的技术转让办公室，目前正在寻找技术转让和商业风险投资助理副总裁。 新的教师继续以创纪录的速度（每年高达50人）和其他新的管理人员（例如，科学，工程和教务长学院的新院长）被雇用在过去6个月已经增加。 这种研究增长正在发生，而UTSA继续建立其在少数民族教育的领导地位。目前，我们的学生60%是由少数民族（44%西班牙裔; 7%非洲裔美国人; 6%亚洲和3%国际）。UTSA在授予西班牙裔学生的本科学位数量中排名第三，在过去10年中有9年授予生物科学学位数量排名第一。RCMI计划是这些成就的关键因素。UTSA对RCMI计划的管理做出了重大改变和重新承诺。 UTSA管理人员经常与NIH NCRR会面，以重组RCMI计划。 RCMI组织结构 UTSA的RCMI计划的组织结构由行政和科学部门组成。 行政部门包括主要研究者、项目主任、项目经理和机构行政支持团队。 科学部门包括外部和内部咨询委员会，科学顾问，核心领导人和研究项目PIS. UTSA RCMI项目的行政和科学进展的形成性和总结性评价由外部评价员提供给PI。 表1显示了UTSA RCMI项目的组织结构图。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The RCMI Program at The University of Texas at San Antonio continues to enhance the neuroscience and proteomics capacities in South Texas. Changes in the organizational structure of the RCMI Program began in March of 2005 when Dr. Matthew Gdovin was named the Interim Program Director and continued to evolve to include the appointment of a new Principal Investigator, Dr. Robert Gracy, Vice President for Research. Dr. Gdovin began to immediately address all concerns, suggestions, and criticisms in the NIH Summary Statement. The culmination of progress of the RCMI Program at UTSA was documented in an Administrative Report submitted to NCRR prior to the December 4, 2006 NIH Administrative site visit at UTSA. The subsequent report by NIH following the site visit was very positive regarding the changes that the RCMI Program instituted in response to the NIH Summary Statement and the scientific progress of the RCMI Program at UTSA. Overview UTSA is now second only to the Austin campus in student enrollment (over 28,500). Research growth in the past year was 37% over the previous year and UTSA now ranks third in research of all the UT System Universities. The UTSA this year launched a strategic plan for becoming a premier research university. The goal of this strategic plan is to become nationally ranked as a premier research institute. To that end, major administrative changes have already taken place. The University hired its first Vice President for Research (Dr. Robert Gracy) and major infrastructure upgrades are underway. Already, a new Biotechnology Science & Engineering building (230,000 sq. ft.) has been opened and Science and Engineering building (190,000 sq. ft.) is scheduled for groundbreaking in early 2007. A Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and a full time veterinarian/laboratory animal staff are committed to achieving AAALAC accreditation. A new Technology Transfer Office has been added in collaboration with the University of Texas Health Science Center, and an Assistant VP for Technology Transfer and Commercial Ventures is currently being sought. New faculty continue to be hired at a record pace (up to 50 per year) and other new administrators (e.g. new Deans for the College of Sciences, Engineering, and Provost) have been added in the past 6 months. This research growth is taking place while UTSA continues to build its leadership in minority education. Currently, 60% of our students are composed of minorities (44% Hispanic; 7% African American; 6% Asian and 3% International). UTSA ranks third in the number of undergraduates degrees awarded to Hispanic students and ranks 1st in number of biological science degrees awarded for 9 of the past 10 years. The RCMI program is a critical element in these achievements. UTSA has made major changes and renewed commitments to management of the RCMI program. UTSA administrators have frequently met with NIH NCRR to restructure the RCMI program. RCMI Organizational Structure The organizational structure of the RCMI Program at UTSA consists of Administrative and Scientific divisions. The Administrative division includes the Principle Investigator, the Program Director, Program Manager, and an Institutional Administrative Support Team. The Scientific division includes the External and Internal Advisory Committees, Scientific Advisor, Core Leaders and Research Project PIs. Formative and summative evaluations of both the administrative and scientific progress of the RCMI program at UTSA are provided to the PI by an external evaluator.
