COBRE: U KS: CORE A: ADMINISTRATION

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。 该COBRE的目的是建立一个指导和发展初级生物医学科学教师的计划，目标是使他们在获得终身教职和独立的NIH赠款支持方面具有充分的竞争力。我们的科学重点是蛋白质结构和功能。核心A是COBRE中心的管理核心。 它为我们的中心提供领导，方向和科学重点。它还为中心及其活动提供全面的行政协调。这包括监测和预测其预算（联邦和非联邦资金），对我们的中心进行正式和非正式评估，促进与我们的外部咨询委员会，内部咨询委员会，NIH-NCRR和我们的三个合作机构（堪萨斯州立大学，威奇托州立大学和KU医学中心）的沟通。核心A还为我们的三个科学核心实验室和主要仪器的购买提供监督和指导，并促进COBRE研究人员和四个参与校园的试点项目领导者之间的互动。核心A的两个特别重要的功能是为我们的调查人员提供指导，研讨会和专业发展计划，并组织招募和支持新成员的计划，包括试点和替代项目，以保持我们的实力并为未来建设。

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 aim of this COBRE is to establish a program for mentoring and development of junior biomedical science faculty with the goal of them becoming fully competitive for earning tenure and independent NIH grant support. Our scientific focus is Protein Structure and Function. Core A is the Administrative Core of the COBRE Center. It provides leadership, direction and scientific focus for our Center. It also provides overall administrative coordination for the Center and its activities. This includes monitoring and projecting its budgets (federal and non-federal funds), conducting formal and informal assessments of our Center, facilitating communications with our External Advisory Committee, our Internal Advisory Committee, NIH-NCRR, and our three partner institutions (Kansas State University, Wichita State University and the KU Medical Center). Core A also provides oversight and direction for our three scientific Core Labs and for purchases of major instrumentation, and it stimulates interactions among COBRE investigators and pilot project leaders on the four participating campuses. Two particularly important functions of Core A are to provide a program of mentoring, workshops and professional development for our investigators and to organize a program of recruitment and support of new members with pilot and replacement projects to maintain our strength and build for the future.
