MT COBRE: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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 Administrative (Admin) Core is intended to provide organizational and infrastructure support to CSFN investigators. This support takes many forms and includes funding for the Center's Financial Officer/Program Coordinator (K. Stewart, M.S.), Program Coordinator (I. Bucher, B.S.) and Computer Systems Analyst (P. McKinney, B.S.). To increase the competitiveness of individual CSFN investigators, as well as to strengthen the overall research environment of the Center, the Core also provides salary support to graduate and undergraduate students engaged in research with Center laboratories. In summary, the Admin Core provides strategically needed support necessary to build and maintain the strong research environment required to foster the development of the junior investigators, as well as maintain the competitiveness of the senior investigators. Lastly, the Admin Core coordinates the mentoring activities within the COBRE program including the annual meeting with Scientific Advisory Committee, statewide neuroscience conference, travel of advisors and collaborators to Montana and increasing the opportunities for CSFN investigators to participate in grantsmanship training and scientific conferences.
