Coordinating Unit for the Innovative Science Accelerator Program

NIDDK创新科学加速器（ISAC）计划的目标不仅是为高科技领域提供资金， 创新的假设驱动的研究，但提供一个平台，为KUH研究界合作， 交流想法，寻找资源，加速社区感兴趣领域的创新。我们 实验室在开发这些类型的资源和管理 国家财团。我们目前是两个NIDDK联盟的协调单位（CU）， 代谢表型中心（MMPC）和糖尿病并发症联盟（DiaComp）。两 联盟是NIDDK资助的计划，提供了促进沟通和协作的环境 参与代谢和糖尿病并发症研究的研究者群体之间的联系。每个赞助商 在相关科学领域举行年度会议，在NIDDK的高影响领域征求和资助试点项目 研究，并支持网站为各自的科学界服务。在过去的14年里，我们 该小组已经开发了一个广泛的基础设施，以成功地管理这些协调单位（CU）， NIDDK资助的财团（MMPC，2006年至今，DiaComp，2011年至今）。ISAC-CU将负责 通过使用机会池（资助计划）支持ISAC调查人员，管理/维护 网站/资源，并在行政上组织ISAC赞助的会议和研讨会， 更大的KUH科学界。ISAC-CU负责创建和维护 本提案的目标是提供这种基础设施。我们将在当前CU成功的基础上再接再厉 基础设施，为ISAC提供强大而全面的面向服务的解决方案， 这个联盟的独特之处

The goal of the NIDDK Innovative Science Accelerator (ISAC) program is to not only provide funding for highly innovative hypothesis driven research but to deliver a platform for the KUH research community to collaborate, exchange ideas and find resources that will accelerate innovation in areas of interest to that community. Our laboratory has extensive experience in developing these types of resources and managing the activities of national consortia. We are currently the Coordinating Units (CU) for two NIDDK consortia, the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC) and the Diabetic Complications Consortium (DiaComp). Both consortia are NIDDK funded initiatives that provide an environment to foster communication and collaboration between investigator communities involved in metabolic and diabetic complications research. Each sponsors annual meetings in relevant scientific areas, solicits and funds pilot projects in high impact areas of NIDDK research, and supports websites to serve their respective scientific communities. Over the last 14 years, our group has developed an extensive infrastructure to successfully managed the coordinating units (CU) for these NIDDK funded consortia (MMPC, 2006-present, DiaComp, 2011-present). The ISAC-CU will be responsible for supporting ISAC investigators through the use of opportunity pools (funding programs), manage/maintain the website/resources and administratively organize the meetings and workshops sponsored by ISAC to engage the greater KUH scientific community. The ISAC-CU is responsible for creating and maintaining the The goal of this proposal is to provide that infrastructure. We will build upon the success of the current CU infrastructure to provide ISAC with a robust and comprehensive service oriented solution that supports the unique aspects of this consortium.
