MENTORING IMMUNOLOGY IN OKLAHOMA--A BIOMEDICAL PROGRAM

俄克拉何马医学研究基金会领导了一个由俄克拉何马机构组成的财团，提议在免疫学方面聘请一位导师。俄克拉何马医学研究基金会和俄克拉何马大学健康科学中心的四名高级免疫学家将指导这两家机构以及塔尔萨姐妹校区的四名新员工。已经制定了四个“重大”联合项目，其主题是指导成功。此外，还要求提供资金帮助支助五个核心设施，这些设施要么已经到位，需要扩大，要么正在发展。此外，还提出了为期两年、三年、四年和五年的“招募计划”，这些计划已分发给该州从事免疫学研究的三个主要机构。这些新员工将接受另一组教员的指导。启动赠款，一些战略储备基金和一个适度的行政核心完成了请求。这项提议是基于我们的实力，以及我们对俄克拉何马州免疫学未来的承诺。将要接受指导的四位年轻教员代表了我们的未来。计划获得“启动资助”的5名年轻教师仍在评估中。核心支持对我们的整体成功至关重要——不仅在免疫学领域，而且在所有生物医学科学领域。招聘计划将确保我们的学员源源不断地吸收新教员。我们对这个项目成功的承诺以及我们对俄克拉何马州免疫学未来的愿景应该是显而易见的。

The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation leads a consortium of Oklahoma Institutions proposing a mentor in immunology. Four senior immunologists at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center will be mentoring four recent hires at these two institutions as well as a sister campus in Tulsa. Four "major" joint projects have been developed whose theme is mentoring for success. In addition, funds are requested to help support five core facilities which are either in place and need expansion or are in the process of being developed. Additionally, "recruiting packages" are proposed for years, two, three, four and five which have been distributed to the three major institutions in the state involved in immunological research. These new recruits will be mentored by yet another set of faculty. Started grants, some strategic reserve funds, and a modest administrative core round out the request. The proposal is built on our strength, and our commitment to the future of immunology in Oklahoma. The four young faculty are to be mentored represent our future. The five young faculty slated for "started grants" are still being evaluated. The core support is vital to our overall success-not just in immunology but in all the biomedical sciences. The recruiting packages will insure a steady stream of new faculty in our disciple. Our commitment to the success of this program and to our vision of the future of immunology in Oklahoma should be evident within.
