PARTNERSHIPS FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH IN ARKANSAS: MENTORING CORE

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。指导核心的主要目标是为阿肯色州INBRE项目领导人(PLS)及其相关研究人员(博士后、研究生和本科生)发展成功的研究生涯提供指导。通过建立和执行本科教师职业发展和指导计划，核心帮助合作伙伴城市大学的PLS实现独立资助的最终目标。指导咨询委员会(MAC)通过促进UGI PLS、他们的导师、UGI管理人员和阿肯色州INBRE领导层之间的互动，促进PLS的研究成果和独立资助的进展。通过对PLS年度进展报告的评估，MAC将推荐PLS从阿肯色州INBRE项目毕业，并推荐其他积极从事研究的UGI教员加入该网络，以便他们可以受益于阿肯色州INBRE对其发展中的研究项目的支持。此外，CORE将通过建立研究焦点小组(神经科学和癌症与信号机制)，促进具有相似研究兴趣的阿肯色州INBRE研究人员之间的网络联系，并通过具体活动加强阿肯色州各地PLS(学员)及其导师和学生之间的网络联系。研究焦点小组将具有共同研究主题和兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起，促进对PLS实验室正在进行的研究活动的非正式、友好的批评，并分享研究技术和仪器。焦点小组将促进超出特定导师/学员关系的合作，并为阿肯色州内的专业网络提供基础。每个研究专题小组都有一个研讨会系列，通过研讨会，将邀请特定研究领域的专家举办研讨会，并作为一个整体访问研究专题小组，尽可能与小组所有成员进行互动。

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 main objective of the Mentoring Core is to provide guidance to the Arkansas INBRE Project Leaders (PLs) and their associated researchers (postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students) in the development of successful research careers. Through the establishment and execution of Undergraduate Faculty Career Development and Mentoring Plans, the Core helps the PLs from the partner UGIs to achieve the ultimate goal of becoming independently funded. The Mentoring Advisory Committee (MAC) promotes the PLs research accomplishments and progress toward independent funding by facilitating interactions among the UGI PLs, their mentors, UGI administrators, and the Arkansas INBRE leadership. Through the evaluation of the PLs annual progress reports, the MAC will propose PLs for graduation from the Arkansas INBRE program, and recommend other research-active UGI faculty for inclusion in the network so that they may benefit from Arkansas INBRE support of their developing research projects. Additionally, the Core will promote networking among Arkansas INBRE investigators with similar research interests by establishing Research Focus Groups (in Neuroscience and Cancer & Signaling Mechanisms) with specific activities to enhance networking among PLs (mentees), and their mentors and students across Arkansas. The Research Focus Groups bring together investigators with common research themes and interests to promote informal, friendly critique of ongoing research activities in the PLs laboratories and the sharing of research techniques and instrumentation. The Focus Groups will foster collaborations beyond the specific mentor/mentee relationships and provide a basis for professional networking within the state of Arkansas. Each Research Focus Group has a Seminar Series, through which experts in the research fields of specific PLs will be invited to give a seminar and visit the Research Focus Group as a whole, interacting as much as possible with all members of the group.
