UDEL Administrative Core

行政核心的作用将是协调特拉华州州立大学和特拉华州大学的资源、专业知识和项目，以建立联合神经科学研究中心，并在每个机构培养一批研究人员，使他们在获得外部研究资金方面具有竞争力。鉴于PI、所有目标研究者和该中心的大多数其他教职员工都是女性，特拉华州神经科学研究中心将特别关注支持和指导女科学家。行政核心将以特拉华州州立大学为中心，在特拉华州大学设有一个分核心，以确保两个机构之间的工作协调。 PI和罗森博士将监督一个结构化的指导计划，该计划将通过与知名科学家的高质量互动和发展活动，支持一组女性目标研究者的科学和学术成熟。行政核心还将实施一项试点补助金计划，支持初级教师和教师建立跨机构边界的跨学科合作。试点项目将支持教师，因为他们收集初步数据，以支持未来的赠款提案，并将鼓励他们合作，并在相关领域进行研究中心的使命。试点项目Pis是初级教师，他们将参加与目标调查员相同的结构化辅导计划，并将成为我们第一批获得独立资助的毕业生。 为了在DSU建立神经科学研究人员的临界质量，以支持跨学科的特拉华州神经科学研究中心，三个新的教师队伍已经在三个不同的部门，包括公共与联合健康，生物学和心理学。PI和其他中心附属的调查人员将在招聘过程中发挥关键作用，以确保新的教师是与中心使命相关的研究兴趣的杰出科学家。一旦新的教师到位，他们将成为特拉华州神经科学研究中心的一部分，无论是作为目标研究者还是试点项目的PI。

The role of the administrative core will be to coordinate resources, expertise and programs at Delaware State University and the University of Delaware to establish the joint Center for Neuroscience Research and develop a group of investigators at each institution and make them competitive for external funding for their research. Given that the PI, all of the target investigators and most other faculty affiliated with the Center are women, the Delaware Center for Neuroscience Research will have a special focus on supporting and mentoring women scientists. The Administrative Core will be centered at Delaware State University with a subcore at the University of Delaware ensuring coordination of efforts across both institutions. The PI and Dr. Rosen will oversee a structured mentoring program that will support the scientific and academic maturation of a group of female target investigators through quality interactions with established scientists and developmental activities. The administrative core will also implement a pilot grant program that will support junior faculty and faculty establishing interdisciplinary collaborations that cross institutional boundaries. The pilot projects will support faculty as they collect preliminary data to support future grant proposals, and will encourage them to collaborate and pursue research in areas relevant to the Center's mission. The pilot project Pis who are junior faculty will take part in the same structured mentoring program as the target investigators, and will be in line to become target investigators themselves as our first group graduates to independent funding. To build a critical mass of neuroscience researchers at DSU to support the interdisciplinary Delaware Center for Neuroscience Research, three new faculty lines have been committed in three different departments, including Public & Allied Health, Biology and Psychology. The PI and other Center-affiliated investigators will play key roles in the recruitment process to ensure that the new faculty are outstanding scientists with research interests relevant to the Center mission. Once the new faculty are in place, they will become part of the Delaware Center for Neuroscience Research either as target investigators or Pis of pilot projects.
