MT VET COBRE CORE A: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 蒙大拿州立大学(MSU)科布雷行政核心由PI艾伦·哈姆森领导，他是兽医分子生物学的高级资助研究员。哈姆森博士提供行政监督，担任执行委员会主席，并担任密歇根州立大学科布雷领导下的科学研究的研究倡导者和协调员。这一核心的目的是向PI、导师、项目负责人、新聘教员以及为拟建中心的科学项目和核心工作的所有调查人员和技术人员提供行政支持和服务。Harmsen博士直接与项目导师合作，指导和协调项目和新招聘的教师，正是通过这个核心，中心的项目和相关核心将相互交织并定期进行评估。在此监督下，Harmsen博士负责领导、管理、人员配置和资源分配，并根据NIH政策管理MSU Cobre。行政核心还包括一名负责组织Cobre活动和会议的行政助理、一名负责财务管理和对计划所有方面提供支持的会计助理以及一名收集和分析数据并报告计划进展情况的计划评估员。 管理核心由几个附加组件组成。执行委员会(EC)包括私人投资委员会和核心董事。该中心的核心包括来自基因组和蛋白质组学核心(核心B)、分子和细胞分析核心(核心C)和BSL-3核心(核心D)的董事。每个Cobre Core的董事都是兽医分子生物学系，也是指导委员会的成员。作为一个整体，欧委会将审查Cobre进展报告，为计划项目的研究工作设定优先事项，提供所有核心活动的指导，并向PI提出未来中心方向的建议。 外部咨询委员会(EAC)就科布雷计划的科学、管理和研究要素提供建议。该委员会由国家公认的科学家组成，其中包括：美国免疫学家协会主席、NIAID理事会成员兼特鲁多研究所所长苏西·斯温；哈佛大学国家科学院成员、国际公认的炭疽毒素专家约翰·科利尔；阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校国际知名的粘膜免疫专家曾傑瑞·麦基；以及华盛顿大学免疫学系主任、国际公认的传染病免疫专家克里斯托弗·威尔逊。EAC审查密歇根州立大学Cobres的表现、具体目标，并评估该计划的纵向进展。EAC活动包括概念开发、计划规划、研究项目开发和指导、确定资源和评估实现既定目标的进展情况。在某些情况下，东非共同体成员向项目负责人提供指导协助，并确定潜在的国家导师和合作者。 行政核心组织了几个项目，以加强研究经验和宣传密歇根州立大学科布雷计划，即全国演讲者系列和年度研究会议。国家演讲者系列每月三次将世界级的传染病研究人员带到密歇根大学校园。Cobre赞助的演讲者将参观主办机构的实验室，并会见Cobre研究人员和学生。这些访问使所有教职员工和学生接触到尖端科学，并提供对正在进行的研究的非正式审查。INBRE的学生和教职员工在访问之前，通过阅读期刊文章和关于演讲者研究的背景科学来为研讨会做准备。一年一度的研究会议和研讨会是重要的场所，项目负责人和其他重要的研究人员可以展示他们的研究，与其他有相似兴趣的研究人员互动，并集思广益，以新的技术和方法来扩展或改进科学。

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 Montana State University (MSU) COBRE Administrative Core is directed by the PI, Allen Harmsen, who is a senior funded researcher in Veterinary Molecular Biology. Dr. Harmsen provides administrative oversight, chairs the Executive Committee, and serves as a research advocate and coordinator of the scientific research conducted under MSU COBRE. The purpose of this core is to provide administrative support and services to the PI, Mentors, Project Leaders, new faculty hires, and to all investigators and technical personnel working on the scientific projects and cores of the proposed center. Dr Harmsen works directly with the project mentors to guide and coordinate the program projects and new faculty hires, and it is through this Core that the projects and related cores of the center will be interwoven and regularly assessed. Under this oversight, Dr. Harmsen is responsible for the leadership, management, staffing, and resource allocation, and for administering the MSU COBRE in accordance with NIH policies. The Administrative Core also includes an Administrative Associate who organizes the COBRE events and conferences, an Accounting Associate who is responsible for fiscal management and support for all aspects of the program, and a Program Evaluator who collects and analyzes data and reports on the progress of the programs. The Administrative Core is comprised of several additional components. The Executive Committee (EC) includes the PI and the Core Directors. The Cores of the Center include directors from the Genomics and Proteomics Core (Core B), Molecular and Cellular Analysis Core (Core C), and BSL-3 Core (Core D). Directors from each COBRE Core are Veterinary Molecular Biology faculty and also participate on the Mentoring Board. As a whole, the EC will review COBRE progress reports, set priorities for research efforts on the program projects, provide directives of all the cores activities, and make recommendations to the PI for future center directions. The External Advisory Committee (EAC) advises on scientific, administrative, and research elements of the COBRE Program. The committee is comprised of nationally recognized scientists that includes: Suzy Swain, President of the American Association of Immunologists, Member NIAID Council, and Director of the Trudeau Institute; John Collier, Harvard University, National Academy of Science Member, and internationally recognized expert on anthrax toxin; Jerry McGhee, University of Alabama-Birmingham and internationally known expert in mucosal immunity; and Christopher Wilson, Head of the Department of Immunology at the University of Washington and internationally recognized expert in immunity to infectious disease. The EAC reviews the MSU COBREs performance, specific aims, and evaluates the longitudinal progress of the program. EAC activities include concept development, program planning, research project development and mentoring, identification of resources, and evaluation of progress toward stated goals. In some cases, EAC members provide mentoring assistance to Project Leaders and identify potential national mentors and collaborators. The Administrative Core organizes several programs to enhance research experiences and publicize the MSU COBRE Program, namely the National Speakers Series and the Annual Research Conference. The national speakers series brings world-class infectious disease researchers to MSU campus three times a month. The COBRE-sponsored speakers will tour labs at the host institution and meet with COBRE researchers and students. These visits expose all faculty and students to cutting-edge science and provide informal review of ongoing research. INBRE students and faculty prepare for the seminars by reading journal articles and background science on the speakers' research prior to their visits. The annual research conferences and symposiums are important venues that allow project leaders and other important researchers to showcase their research, interact with other researchers who share similar interests, and brainstorm new techniques and ways to expand or improve the science.
