Enrichment Program

项目总结：浓缩项目 浓缩方案的总体目标是通过促进改善C-Sig环境 通过其成员之间的沟通，促进教育和促进研究协同作用。为了做到这一点，我们 追求五个相辅相成的具体目标：一)支持电子通信基础设施 包括内部和外部C-Sig网站以及C-Sig公告和每周电子邮件通讯 相关研讨会；ii)每月举办全中心系列研讨会，每周举办研讨会，重点是我们的 机械论主题(即细胞内信号、细胞间通讯、遗传学和表观遗传学)，以及 定期期刊俱乐部；三)组织年度科学小型研讨会和年度专题研讨会 以机械为中心的主题；四)通过利用 其他机构的专门知识，包括通过小型休假方案由NIDDK资助的其他发改委；以及 五)通过支持年度研究职业发展务虚会和 制定早期职业发展和研究培训计划。此外， 丰富计划将继续计划和组织每六年一次的中西部年度会议 DDRCC联盟(梅奥、凯斯西大学、芝加哥大学、密歇根大学、 辛辛那提和华盛顿大学)。

PROJECT SUMMARY: ENRICHMENT PROGRAM The overall objective of the Enrichment Program is to enhance the C-SiG environment by promoting education and fostering research synergy through communication amongst its members. To do this, we pursue five complementary SPECIFIC AIMS to: i) Support an infrastructure of electronic communication including internal and external C-SiG Web sites and a weekly email newsletter of C-SiG announcements and relevant seminars; ii) Conduct a monthly Center-wide seminar series, weekly seminars focused on our mechanistic themes (i.e. intracellular signaling, cell-to-cell communication, genetics and epigenetics), and regular journal clubs; iii) Organize an annual scientific minisymposium and an annual workshop topical to the center mechanistic themes; iv) Facilitate extramural collaboration and technology transfer by leveraging expertise at other institutions, including other NIDDK-funded DDRCCs via a Minisabbatical Program; and v) Nurture junior investigators by supporting an annual research career development retreat and the development of an Early Career Development and Research Training Program. In addition, the Enrichment Program will continue to plan and organize one annual conference every six years for the Midwest DDRCC Alliance (Mayo, Case Western University, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of Cincinnati, and Washington University).
