Developmental Research Plan

西部地区生物防御和新发传染病研究中心的目的 （WRCE）发展研究计划是提供所需的总体指导，征求，评估，选择， 管理试点研究项目，这些项目对生产力的发展和可持续性至关重要。 基础和应用生物防御研究计划。该计划将作为一个不可分割的组成部分， WRCE的使命是扩大研究范围，增加生物防御研究人员的数量， 许多机构参与了WRCE，开辟了新的研究领域，开发了新的 为制定与飞行任务有关的反措施所需的技术。的 发展研究计划利用该地区丰富的相关科学专业知识， 识别和促进新的研究思路，并采用和开发新技术。的 研究项目将由已建立的生物防御和新出现的传染病 调查人员，并由新的研究人员到该领域，谁愿意运用他们的专业知识进行小说 产品导向研究。系统、严密的行政管理和科学管理 计划，类似于在第一个WRCE赠款周期使用的计划，将被用来选择 最相关和科学合理的研究项目，并有效监测和评价 中求进工作总WRCE主任将全面负责发展研究计划， 将指定WRCE副主任管理该计划。协理主任将得到下列人员的支助： WRCE项目管理员、其他主要WRCE管理核心人员和WRCE 研究项目的领导者。此外，WRCE产品开发副总监和 当决定继续进行时，将根据需要召集WRCE指导委员会 支持生产性项目、调整项目方向或停止非生产性项目。 此外，新项目的选择将取决于指导委员会、 WRCE主任和NIAID项目官员。这种专门知识，协同工作，有助于 在WRCE内建立和维持生产性发展研究项目。

The purpose of the Western Regional Center for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Disease Research (WRCE) Developmental Research program is to provide overall guidance required to solicit, evaluate, select, and manage pilot research projects that are critical to the development and sustainability of a productive basic and applied biodefense research program. The program will function as an integral component of the WRCE's mission by expanding the scope of research, increasing the pool of biodefense researchers and the number of institutions involved in the WRCE, opening up new lines of research and developing new technologies needed to contribute to the development of mission-relevant countermeasures. The Developmental Research plan takes advantage of the region's wealth of relevant scientific expertise by identifying and promoting new research ideas, and employing and developing novel technologies. The research projects will be conducted by established biodefense and emerging infectious disease investigators, and by researchers new to the field, who are willing to apply their expertise to conduct a novel aspect of product-oriented research. A systematic and rigorous administrative and scientific management plan, similar to the plan used during the first WRCE grant cycle, will be employed to allow for the selection of the most relevant and scientifically sound research projects, and for effective monitoring and evaluation of progress. The WRCE Director will have overall responsibility for the Developmental Research program and will designate the WRCE Associate Director to manage the plan. The Associate Director will be supported by the WRCE Program Administrator, other key WRCE Administrative Core personnel, and the WRCE Research Project Theme Leaders. In addition, the WRCE Associate Director for Product Development and the WRCE Steering Committee will be called upon as needed when decisions are made regarding continued support for productive projects, the redirection of projects, or the discontinuation of unproductive projects. Also, the selection of new projects will rely upon the scientific expertise of the Steering Committee, the WRCE Director, and the NIAID program officers. This expertise, working in concert, contributes to the establishment and sustainability of productive Developmental Research projects within the WRCE.
