WV-INBRE PROGRAM EVALUATION

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。 评估 WV-INBRE的总体目标是： 1.建立以科学为重点的多学科研究网络，建立和加强牵头和合作机构 2.通过为参与机构的教职员工、博士后研究员和研究生提供研究支持，建设和增加研究基础和能力 3.为本科生提供研究机会，为本科生在理想状态下继续健康研究事业提供渠道 4.在本科院校为学生提供外展活动，以及 五、增强国家工作人员的科学技术知识 评价核心的作用是确定WV-INBRE计划上述目标的实现情况。我们正在通过以下方式实现这些目标：首先，我们监测因支持INBRE而积累起来的出版物、摘要和演示文稿。此外，我们还建立了一个数据库，使我们能够更好地记录INBRE活动，跟踪我们暑期项目本科生的进度，并监控所有网络机构的进度。外联核心还提供数据，记录参加暑期计划的现任和前任参与者的成就和下落。网络研究机构(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)监测，后者的意见是整体项目评估的一部分。在指导委员会的定期会议上，还通过项目调查员提交的研究进展报告，对国家研究机构和网络外联机构的进展情况进行评估。评估协调员访问了INBRE，主要是本科院校(PUI)和收集了评估信息的未来PUI。每年都会举行评估务虚会，在此期间，咨询委员会审查每一个NRI项目的进展情况、外联活动以及咨询委员会在INBRE整体赠款中的作用。

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 these goals in the following ways: First, we monitor the publications, abstracts and presentations that accumulate as the result of INBRE support. In addition, we have constructed a database which will allow us to keep better account of INBRE activities, track the progress of our summer program undergraduates and monitor progress at all network institutions. The Outreach Core also provides data documenting the accomplishments and whereabouts of current and past participants in the summer programs. Network Research Institutions (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 overall project evaluation. Progress by the NRI and Network Outreach Institutions (NOIs) are also assessed at the regular Steering Committee meetings through research progress reports presented by the Project Investigators. The Evaluation Coordinator visits INBRE Predominately Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) and prospective PUIs where assessment information has been gathered. Evaluation retreats are held each year during which the AC reviews the progress of each NRI project, the Outreach activities and the role of the AC in the overall INBRE grant.
