FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

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。 我们的总体使命继续强调改善基因中心的研究成果，增加少数群体在科学领域的代表性，并缩小少数群体与其他群体之间的健康差距。 我们将以能够帮助我们实现这些广泛目标的科学家为目标。我们的招聘计划包括招聘三到四名终身教职教师，包括以下领域的研究人员：人类行为与健康差异；化学遗传学；以及合成和天然药物的发现。尽管RCMI的赠款支持对于启动这一招聘过程是必不可少的，但该机构致力于通过提供永久教员线来继续这一过程。 我们计划通过为寻求重新建立外部资助的教师提供临时资金来促进教师发展；建立一个由资深教师指导初级科学家的正式计划；加强我们的内部合作以及与其他RCMI赞助机构和其他知名研究人员的合作；部分支持研究休假；与附近的纽约科学院建立更强有力的科学合作伙伴关系；让我们的科学家参加更多的内部、在线和其他地点的研讨会；以及举办务虚会和促进翻新。 我们还计划利用机构资金，通过聘请外部顾问来提高所有基因中心研究人员的生产率，以帮助我们的研究人员更成功地竞争R-和K型拨款。我们计划继续支持博士后研究人员，因为他们是我们研究企业的宝贵资产。

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. Our overall mission continues to emphasize improving the research output of the Gene Center, increasing the representation of minorities in science and reducing disparities in health between minority populations and others. We will target scientists who can help us to target these broad goals. Our recruiting plans involve hiring three or four tenure-track faculty including researchers in the following areas: Human Behavior and Health Disparities; Chemical Genetics; and the Discovery of Synthetic and Natural Drugs. Although RCMI grant support is essential for initiating this recruiting process, the institution is committed to continuing it by providing permanent faculty lines. We plan to promote faculty development by providing interim funding for faculty who are seeking to reestablish their external funding; establishing a formal program for mentoring of junior scientists by senior faculty; enhancing our internal collaborations and those with other RCMIsponsored institutions and with other prominent researchers; partially supporting research sabbaticals; cultivating a stronger scientific partnership with the New York Academy of Sciences located nearby; exposing our scientists to more workshops in-house, on-line and at other locations; and hosting retreats and facilitating renovation. We also plan to use institutional funds to enhance the productivity of all Gene Center researchers by hiring external consultants to help our investigators compete for R- and K type grants more successfully. We plan to continue to support post-doctoral researchers as they are a valuable asset to our research enterprise.
