Developmental Core

发展核心的使命是促进和支持新的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究， 罗切斯特大学（UR）。这一使命将通过以下方式实现： 促进新的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员的招聘;建立一个激励知识分子的 和科学环境;促进初级教师的指导和培训;帮助支持 与南非合作伙伴的国际合作;并提供一种机制，使教师 目前不从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病工作的人可以被成功地“招募”来从事这一问题的工作。 核心将利用为UR临床和转化科学研究所创建的结构 （CTSI）。这些措施包括高效的试点赠款奖励机制，新颖的指导计划， 职业发展讲习班。将实现五个相互关联的目标。目标1：催化新的 关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的多学科研究。这将通过为支持新的 在战略上选定的“机会领域”（预防/行为、光学和 纳米医学和国际合作）。还将为生成 为新的赠款申请和旅行研究金提供初步数据。目标2将侧重于 招募新的艾滋病毒/艾滋病调查员。这将通过提供指导研究者奖来实现 以KO 8机制为模式，利用经验丰富的辅导团队， 教师，并通过支持新的教师招聘。第三个目标将支持指导和职业生涯 培养年轻的艾滋病毒/艾滋病调查员。这将使用结构化指导计划 为UR CTSI开发。指导伙伴关系将由指导委员会监督， 具有丰富指导经验的D-CFAR高级调查员。赠款便利服务还将 启动，以提供（i）一个论坛，讨论和完善赠款的想法在早期阶段和（ii） 专家意见和书面材料的输入，并迅速周转。目标4将创造一个刺激的 知识和科学环境，通过新的研讨会计划，包括“多学科DCFAR” 研讨会和“艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究进展”（HRIP）研讨会;行业合作将 也得到支持。第五个目标是国际合作。短期教学 将为南苏丹的国际伙伴提供生物统计和艾滋病毒/艾滋病临床试验设计方面的培训， 非洲此外，还将创建一个论坛，供UR学员使用数据集和研究 材料从我们的合作伙伴在南非，在一个互利的研究合作。总体而言， 这些活动预计将大大加强艾滋病毒/艾滋病的研究环境在UR。

The mission of the Developmental Core is to stimulate and support new HIV/AIDS research at University of Rochester (UR). This mission will be achieved by: catalyzing new collaborative lines of investigation; facilitating recruitment of new HIV/AIDS researchers; creating a stimulating intellectual and scientific environment; promoting the mentoring and training of junior faculty; helping to support international collaborations with partners in South Africa; and providing a mechanism whereby faculty who do not presently work on HIV/AIDS can be successfully "recruited" to work on this problem. The Core will leverage structures created for the UR's Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). These include highly effective pilot grant award mechanisms, novel mentoring programs and career development workshops. Five interconnected aims will be pursued. Aim 1 is to catalyze new multidisciplinary research on HIV/AIDS. This will be achieved by funding pilot awards that support new collaborative efforts in strategically selected "areas of opportunity" (prevention/behavior, Optics and Nanomedicine, and international collaborations). Support will also be provided for generation of enabling preliminary data for new grant applications and travelling fellowships. Aim 2 will focus on recruiting new HIV/AIDS investigators. This will be achieved by providing Mentored Investigator Awards patterned on the KO8 mechanism, with the use of experienced mentoring teams to assist young faculty, and by supporting new faculty recruitment. The third Aim will support mentoring and career development of young HIV/AIDS investigators. This will use the structured mentoring program developed for the UR CTSI. Mentoring partnerships will be supervised by a Mentoring Committee of senior D-CFAR investigators with extensive mentoring experience. A grant facilitation service will also be initiated to provide (i) a forum for discussion and refinement of grant ideas at an early stage and (ii) expert advice and input on written materials, with prompt turn-around. Aim 4 will create a stimulating intellectual and scientific environment, through new seminar programs including a "Multi-Disciplinary DCFAR" seminar, and a "HIV/AIDS Research-in-Progress" (HRIP) seminar; industry collaboration will also be supported. Finally, the fifth aim will focus on international collaborations. Short-term instruction in biostatistics and HIV/AIDS clinical trial design will be provided for international partners in South Africa. In addition, a forum will be created in which UR trainees will work with datasets and research materials from our partners in South Africa, in a mutually beneficial research collaboration. Overall, these activities are expected to strongly enhance the HIV/AIDS research environment at UR.
