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 Core of the Program will be responsible for overall oversight, organization, and management of the scientific aspects of the COBRE grant. In addition to the scientific oversight, the Core will also provide a number of support services to Program-associated investigators, including fiscal/budgetary management, preparation of progress reports, scheduling of research meetings; for project-associated investigators, coordinating travel arrangements and meetings of the external science advisory board, and organizing a regular scientific seminar program, liver club, "school of hard knocks," amid various work sessions as described in the mentoring section. Aim 1. Provide administrative leadership and coordination of the overall research effort. Aim 2. Provide appropriate accounting, clerical and other program management support. Aim 3. To establish and organize a group of established senior investigators who will serve as mentors for newly hired faculty who share a common interest in the area of nuclear receptor research. Aim 4. To manage the cycle of bringing qualified new investigators into the program and then helping them to transition to the status of independent investigators. At that time, they will rotate off the list and be replaced by new investigators. Aim 5. To increase infrastructure, critical mass, and allow the implementation of new, state-of-the-art research equipment and techniques centered on the project theme. Aim 6. Offer a source of expert outside reviewing and consultation for optimization of research efforts in an individual and collective sense. Aim 7. Assist in the generation of, and ensure the maintenance of cooperative collaborative interactions between components of the COBRE, and between other COBRE and BRIN centers and projects in Kansas.
