WV-INBRE PROGRAM EVALUATION

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。WV-INBRE的总体目标是：1。建立一个以科学为重点的多学科研究网络，建立和加强领导和合作机构。通过为参与机构的教师、博士后和研究生提供研究支持，建立和提高研究基础和能力。为本科生提供研究机会，并作为本科生在IDeA州继续健康研究事业的管道。4 .为本科院校的学生提供拓展活动；提高国家工作人员的科学和技术知识。评估核心的作用是确定世界卫生组织-世界卫生组织计划的上述目标在多大程度上得到实现。我们通过以下方式实现这一目标：首先，我们监测因INBRE支持而积累的出版物和摘要。此外，我们目前正在建立一个数据库，使我们能够更好地了解INBRE的活动，并跟踪我们暑期项目本科生的进展。为了协助这项任务，每个PUI都填写了调查问卷，这些回答将被输入数据库。外展核心还提供了有关暑期项目当前和过去参与者的成就和下落的数据。NRI的进度报告也由行政核心（AC）和我们的外部咨询委员会（EAC）监督，他们的意见是评估的一部分。NRI和noi的进展也可以在指导委员会的定期会议上进行评估。评估协调员还访问INBRE的目标单位和潜在目标单位，收集评估信息。每年将举行评价务静会，在此期间，咨询委员会将审查每个国家研究所项目的进展情况、外联活动以及咨询委员会在整个INBRE赠款中的作用。

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. EVALUATION The overarching objectives of WV-INBRE are: 1. establish a multi-disciplinary research network with a scientific focus that will build and strengthen lead and partner institutions 2. build and increase the research base and capacity by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at the participating institutions 3. provide research opportunities for undergraduate students and serve as a pipeline for undergraduate students to continue health research careers within IDeA states 4. provide outreach activities to students at undergraduate institutions, and 5. enhance science and technology knowledge of the State's workforce The role of the Evaluation Core is to determine how well the above objectives of the WV-INBRE plan are being met. We are accomplishing this in the following ways: First, we monitor the publications and abstracts that accumulate as the result of INBRE support. In addition, we are currently constructing a database which will allow us to keep better account of INBRE activities, but also track the progress of our summer program undergraduates. To assist in this task surveys have been filled out by each PUI and these responses will be entered into the database. The Outreach Core also provides data as to the accomplishments and whereabouts of current and past participants in the summer programs. The NRI progress reports are also monitored by the Administrative Core (AC) as well as by our External Advisory Committee (EAC), whose comments form part of the evaluation. Progress by the NRI and NOIs can be assessed at the regular Steering Committee meetings also. The Evaluation Coordinator also visits INBRE PUIs and prospective PUIs where assessment information has been gathered. Evaluation Retreats will be held each year during which the AC will review the progress of each NRI project, the Outreach activities and the role of the AC in the overall INBRE grant.
