INBRE: USC: ENHANCEMENT OF BIOENGINEERING PROGRAM AT USC

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 南加州大学建议支持教师/研究生团队的指导和培训。这一方法将为目标教师提供广泛的指导和职业发展活动，并为目标教师实验室中选定的研究生提供研究培训和专业发展。此外，南加州大学的SC INBRE资源将专门用于支持对南加州大学生物医学工程项目至关重要的核心设施，以及SC INBRE。 已经确定了三个生物医学工程目标教员/博士生团队，其中两个在CEC，一个在SOM：Chem Eng的Blanchette博士、SOM的Cui博士和Mech Eng的Wang博士将成为最初的目标教师。SC INBRE将为每个团队提供博士生津贴、学费和研究用品。目标教师的指导团队将至少包括1名来自工程学的高级教师，1名来自SOM的高级教师和1名来自另一所CRU的高级教师。这一方法将促进南加州大学各组成部分以及其他CRU之间的协作和联网。指导团队将在每个季度面对面或通过视频会议与目标教师会面，讨论进展并提供指导。此外，目标教员将参加由赞助项目办公室提供的赠款撰写研讨会。南加州大学INBRE咨询委员会将每年对教师的目标进度进行评估。目前的目标教师/研究生团队将获得两年的资助，并在竞争的基础上续期。当目标教职员工获得独立的NIH资助时，他们将从INBRE资助中“毕业”，研究建议将从新的目标教职员工/研究生团队中征求。提交的提案将由南加州大学院校咨询委员会成员审查。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. USC proposes to support mentoring and training for faculty/graduate student teams. This approach will provide extensive mentoring and career development activities for the target faculty, as well as research training and professional development to selected graduate students in the laboratories of target faculty. In addition, SC INBRE resources at USC will be dedicated to the support of core facilities that are vital to the USC Biomedical Engineering program, as well as to SC INBRE. Three Biomedical Engineering target faculty/ PhD student teams have been identified, two of them in the CEC and one at the SOM: Drs. Blanchette, Chem Eng; Cui, SOM; and Wang, Mech Eng., will be initial target faculty. SC INBRE will provide funding for a PhD student stipend, tuition and research supplies for each team. The Mentoring teams for the target faculty will be minimally comprised of 1 senior faculty from Engineering, 1 senior faculty from SOM and 1 senior faculty from another CRU. This approach will promote collaborations and networking among USC components as well as other CRUs. The Mentoring team will meet with target faculty each quarter face-to-face or by video conference to discuss progress and provide direction. In addition, target faculty will attend grant writing workshops offered by the Sponsored Programs office. Target faculty progress will be evaluated annually by the USC INBRE Advisory Committee. The current target faculty/ graduate student teams will be funded for two years, renewable on a competitive basis. When a target faculty member obtains independent NIH funding, they will "graduate" from INBRE funding and research proposals will be solicited from new target faculty/graduate student teams. The submitted proposals will be reviewed by members of the USC Institutional Advisory Committee.
