TULANE COBRE IN HYPERTENSION AND RENAL BIOLOGY: ADMIN CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 在本报告所述期间，指导核心为主要研究者和5名高级指导者及核心主任提供了工资支持。 行政核心还支持3博士后研究员，4名研究生，一名MD/博士生，和4名医学生在8 - 10周的夏季研究奖学金，从而帮助实现我们的目标，增加新兴的研究人员在高血压研究和相关领域的池。 COBRE调查员出席国家会议的差旅费由其支付。 本报告所述期间是新项目期间的第三年。 随着我们能够从卡特里娜飓风造成的破坏中恢复过来，活动水平继续增加。 总的来说，COBRE的调查人员工作效率很高，在实现我们的目标方面取得了实质性进展。 女士Nina R Majid自2007年5月以来一直担任项目协调员，负责维护与COBRE有关的所有记录。 她负责编写和分发中心的通讯。在此期间完成了三份时事通讯，并计划在今年夏天再出版一份。Nina负责维护中心网站，向网站访问者提供中心活动、COBRE过去和当前项目、新闻、活动日历以及与COBRE相关的所有功能的最新信息。 她定期安排每月COBRE初级研究者会议和每隔一个星期四下午的双周多部门，多机构高血压和肾脏卓越中心会议。 项目协调员还帮助组织了2010年3月11日世界肾脏日期间的活动。 在当地NKF分会的合作下，对个人进行了可能的肾脏疾病筛查，并提供了有关改变生活方式的建议，以帮助预防高血压和肾脏疾病的发展。 项目协调员还负责编写进度报告，为所有项目订购用品和设备，并确保每个项目的支出保持在分配的预算范围内。 项目协调员还负责组织初级教师调查员，PI和高级导师的月度会议，讨论各个项目的细节和准备提交R01申请的进展情况。 还组织了两周一次的研讨会，邀请地方、国家和国内知名人士就其专业领域发表演讲。

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 mentoring core provided salary support for the PI and for 5 senior mentors and core directors this reporting period. The Administrative Core also supported 3 postdoctoral fellows, 4 graduate students, one MD/PhD student, and 4 medical students during a 8-10 week summer research Fellowships, thus helping to fulfill our aim of increasing the pool of emerging investigators in hypertension research and related areas. Travel expenses were covered for COBRE investigators presenting at national meetings and conferences. The period covered by this report represents the third year of the new project period. The level of activity continued to increase as we are able to recover from the devastation caused by Katrina. In general, COBRE investigators were highly productive and substantial progress was made towards our goals. Ms. Nina R Majid has been the program coordinator since May 2007 and maintains all records relating to the COBRE. She is responsible for the preparation and dissemination of newsletters from the Center. Three newsletters were completed during this period and one more is planned for this summer. Nina is responsible for maintaining the center web-site, informing web-site visitors with updated information of the center activities, COBRE past and current projects, news, calendar of events, and all functions related to the COBRE. She arranges regular monthly COBRE junior investigator meetings and the bi-weekly multi-departmental, multi-institutional Hypertension and Renal Center of Excellence Conference on alternate Thursday afternoons. The program coordinator also helped to organize the activities during World Kidney Day which was held on March 11, 2010. In cooperation with the local NKF Chapter, individuals were screened for possible kidney diseases and were given advice about life style modifications that could help prevent the development of hypertension and kidney disease. The program coordinator is also responsible for the preparation of the progress reports and orders supplies and equipment for all projects and ensures that the expenditures for each project remain within the allocated budgets. The program coordinator is also responsible for organizing monthly meetings for the junior faculty investigators, PI, and senior mentors to discuss details of the individual projects and progress being made in preparation for submission of R01 applications. Bi-weekly seminars are also organized where speakers of local, national, and internal prominence are invited to present talks on their field of expertise.
