INBRE:URI: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 行政核心（AC）管理RI-INBRE计划的各个方面，包括预算、支出、分包合同、人事事项、与国家登记和研究委员会和参与机构的沟通、审查新的研究子项目和试点项目、委员会会议、与计划有关的旅行、收集数据和编写年度进展报告（APR）。与其他核心协调员的频繁互动有助于快速解决与计划管理有关的问题。咨询委员会的定期会议也安排在每周或每两周举行一次。 在指导委员会和外部咨询委员会会议上讨论了与政策事项有关的问题。常设委员会举行了三次会议，两次在2006年5月和11月举行，一次在2007年1月与选管会联合举行。 讨论的项目包括：1）正在进行的教师搜索的状态; 2）视频会议设备的获取; 3）主要本科院校（PUI）调查人员访问在线期刊; 4）国家IDEA计划会议的亮点; 5）INBRE主任的亮点 会议; 6）审查试点项目申请; 7）冬季和夏季务虚会计划;和8）政策的PUI研究人员的进展审查。选管会举行了两次会议，一次于2006年6月举行，另一次于2007年1月举行。一项主要成就是成功完成了对六名新调查员的搜寻，这是通过结转前一年的未支配资金提供有竞争力的启动包而实现的。 所有新的子项目都得到了EAC和NCRR的批准，可纳入RI-INBRE。 一个调查工具的方案评估开发，并将管理所有参与者。 已完成的调查将转交给一名外部评价员，由他总结主要调查结果。 这些将提供给美国科学促进会研究竞争力服务小组，该小组将于2007年4月访问，以审查RI-INBRE计划。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Administrative Core (AC) managed various aspects of the RI-INBRE Program, including budgets, expenditures, subcontracts, personnel matters, communication with NCRR and participating institutions, review of new research subprojects and Pilot Projects, committee meetings, program-related travel, and collection of data and preparation of the annual progress report (APR). Frequent interactions with the coordinators of the other cores facilitated quick resolutions of issues related to program management. Regular meetings of the AC were also scheduled at weekly or biweekly intervals. Issues related to policy matters were discussed at the Steering Committee (SC) and the External Advisory Committee (EAC) meetings. The SC held three meetings, two in May and November of 2006, and one jointly with the EAC in January, 2007. Discussed items included: 1) status of ongoing faculty searches; 2) acquisition of videoconferencing equipment; 3) access of primarily undergraduate institution (PUI) investigators to online journals; 4) highlights of the national IDeA Program Meeting; 5) highlights of INBRE Directors Meeting; 6) review of Pilot Project applications; 7) plans for Winter and Summer Retreats; and 8) policy for progress review of PUI investigators. The EAC held two meetings, one in June 2006 and the other in January 2007. Their meeting summaries are included with this APR. A major accomplishment was successful completion of searches for six new investigators, made possible by offering competitive startup packages through carryover of unobligated funds from the previous year. All new subprojects received approval for inclusion in RI-INBRE by the EAC and NCRR. A survey instrument for program assessment was developed and will be administered to all participants. The completed surveys will be forwarded to an external evaluator who will summarize the salient findings. These will be provided to the AAAS Research Competitiveness Service panel that will visit in April 2007 to review the RI-INBRE Program.
