WV-INBRE PROGRAM EVALUATION

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 WV-INBRE第二阶段的总体目标是： 1. 通过为参与机构的教师，博士后研究员和研究生提供研究支持，发展和加强多学科的全州网络研究基地。该网络将保持一个科学重点，以加强和建设牵头机构和伙伴机构。 2. 为本科生提供研究机会，并作为本科生继续健康研究事业的管道。 3. 与伙伴机构合作，加强本科生的研究活动。 4. 增强国家劳动力的科学技术知识。 5. 加强和发展WV-INBRE和其他NCRR生物医学研究计划（如COBRE和SEPA/HSTA）之间更强的关系，以提高西弗吉尼亚州的学生和参与本科教师的生物医学研究机会。 评价核心的作用是提供一个总结性数据，说明世界展望国际建筑研究所取得的成就，并就世界展望国际建筑研究所下一年需要改进的方面提供形成性反馈。我们通过使用调查和专家审查小组的外部现场访问等工具进行内部和外部评估来实现这一目标。 我们的内部评估监测WV-INBRE资助的调查人员的成就。这是通过发送给主要主要研究者（PI）和第一研究者的调查获得的。我们收集这些研究者的出版物、摘要和演讲数量等信息。我们还监测研究人员提交的外部资金赠款数量。我们跟踪网络机构的研究设施和基础设施的改善，以及本科院校招募的新研究人员的数量。我们跟踪我们的WV-INBRE暑期课程本科生的进展和他们的成就。在指导委员会会议上，主要调查员介绍他们的工作进展情况，定期评估世界展望国际建筑研究所资助项目的进展情况。由国家基础设施专家网供资的调查人员的年度研究进展由行政核心和外部咨询委员会监测，这些委员会的意见将被收集，以形成总体项目评价。 咨询委员会或评价核心的成员定期访问一些网络机构，以评估这些受资助机构取得的进展。评估务虚会每年举行一次，在此期间，咨询委员会审查每个受资助项目的进展情况以及世界展望国际建筑和建筑研究所每个核心所取得的进展。

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. The overarching objectives of Phase II WV-INBRE are: 1. Develop and enhance the multi-disciplinary statewide network research base by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at the participating institutions. The network will maintain a scientific focus that will strengthen and build the lead and partner institutions. 2. Provide research opportunities for undergraduate students and to serve as a pipeline for undergraduate students to continue health research careers. 3. Work with partner institutions to enhance research activities for undergraduate students. 4. Enhance science and technology knowledge of the state's workforce. 5. Strengthen and develop stronger relationships between WV-INBRE and other NCRR biomedical research programs (e.g. COBRE and SEPA/HSTA) to enhance biomedical research opportunities for West Virginia's students and participating undergraduate faculty. The role of the Evaluation Core is to provide a summative data that demonstrates the accomplishments of WV-INBRE and provide a formative feedback on aspects of WV-INBRE that needs improvement in the next year. We accomplish this by conducting both an internal and an external evaluation, using tools such as surveys and external site visits by expert review panel. Our Internal evaluation monitors the accomplishments of WV-INBRE funded investigators. This is obtained by surveys that are sent to the major Principal investigators (PIs) and first investigators. We gather information such as the number of publications, abstracts and presentations by these investigators. We also monitor the number of grants submitted by the investigators for external funding. We track the improvements in research facilities and infrastructure in network institutions and the number of newer investigators recruited into the undergraduate institutions. We track the progress of our WV-INBRE summer program undergraduates and their accomplishments. Progress in WV-INBRE funded projects is periodically assessed during the steering committee meetings where the principal investigators present their work in progress. The annual research progress of the INBRE-funded investigators are monitored by the Administrative core (AC) as well as the External Advisory Committee (EAC) whose comments are collected to form the overall project evaluation. Members of the AC or the evaluation core periodically visit some of the network institutes to assess progress made in these funded institutions. Evaluation retreats are held annually during which the AC reviews the progress of each funded project and the progress made by each core of the WV-INBRE.
