VS-CoBRE Administrative Core

项目摘要/摘要 生物医学卓越视觉科学研究中心(VS-Cobre)的行政核心将 提供基础设施，以支持不断发展的科学家渠道的职业发展，这些科学家将领导 影响视力残疾的调查。资源将集中在现任项目负责人(PLS)和 下一代VS-Cobre的科学家们跟随着当前的PL毕业，获得了独立的资助。 专业发展和实施战略，以实现持续的生产力和增长 主题一致的调查人员社区将通过全面的指导、支持 相关的尖端共享技术，启动竞争性同行评审试点方案，并继续 围绕视觉科学研究的重点招聘。行政核心有六个目标值得我们关注 达到我们的目标。具体目标1：将整体指导作为调查员发展的关键驱动因素 和独立性。具体目标2：建立行政和财政监督，以提供强有力的支持 科学研究。具体目标3：执行一项形成性和总结性评价计划，以支持进展 迈向定义明确的里程碑。具体目标4：启动一项试点计划，支持PL的领先新兴项目 重点关注影响视觉系统的基本过程。具体目标5：加强 促进视觉科学的多学科研究。具体目标6：利用现有资源，包括 那些由IDEA计划支持的项目，以放大视觉科学投资的影响。VS-Cobre 在1)指导团队的支持下；2)内部和外部咨询委员会；3)建立了想法- 支持的计划；以及4)强大的视觉功能和形态(VFM)核心，将提供 促进项目负责人取得成功并向独立过渡的环境。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Administrative Core of the Visual Sciences Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (VS-CoBRE) will provide the infrastructure to support the career development of an evolving pipeline of scientists who will lead investigations that impact visual disability. Resources will be focused on both current project leaders (PLs) and the next generation of VS-CoBRE scientists following the current PL's graduation to independent funding. Professional development and implementation of strategies for sustained productivity and growth of this thematically aligned community of investigators will be enhanced by comprehensive mentoring, support of relevant cutting-edge shared technology, initiation of a competitive peer-reviewed pilot program, and continuation of focused recruitment around visual sciences research. The Administrative Core has six Aims to focus us on meeting our objectives. Specific Aim 1: Prioritize holistic mentoring as a critical driver of investigator development and independence. Specific Aim 2: Create administrative and fiscal oversight to provide robust support for visual sciences research. Specific Aim 3: Implement a formative and summative evaluation plan to support progress toward well-defined milestones. Specific Aim 4: Initiate a pilot program to support PL's leading emerging projects focused on fundamental processes that affect the visual system. Specific Aim 5: Strengthen an environment that promotes multidisciplinary research in visual sciences. Specific Aim 6: Leverage existing resources, including those supported by IDeA programs, to amplify the impact of investments in visual sciences. The VS-CoBRE, with the support of 1) mentoring teams; 2) the Internal and External Advisory Committees; 3) established IDeA- supported initiatives; and 4) a robust Visual Function & Morphology (VFM) core, will provide an engaging environment that promotes the success of the project leaders and their transition to independence.
