Pilot Projects Program

试点方案的总体目标是进一步巩固和丰富试点方案的 在COBRE第一阶段和第二阶段通过选择有才华和经验丰富的学员而取得的成功 具有匹配专业知识的导师，并通过提供称职和有效的管理结构来 确保对我们的试点项目计划进行良好的管理、集成和监督。这将通过以下方式实现 我们的团队由Cobre董事、项目协调员、高级导师、核心领导和其他指导委员会组成 成员和外部咨询委员会成员。他们的努力的成功将得到我们的 科布雷项目管理员。这支由调查人员和管理员组成的团队提供了精心设计的 支持和培育我们的试点项目获奖者的框架，并确保负责任的行为和科学 他们研究的严谨性和可重复性，因为他们在独立发展的过程中得到了指导 研究人员。这种支持性的环境是通过提供明确和严格的选择程序来创造的 获奖者和导师，确保对所选项目的进展进行形成性和终结性评估 通过建立对试点项目计划的内部和外部监督，以及通过公开 传达对获奖者和导师的期望。值得注意的是，第三阶段试点 项目计划将利用我们的科学核心提供的尖端技术。这一转变 重点是加强研究的影响，并大大促进可持续发展 我们的中心。因此，我们将：(1)提供行政结构和技术资源，以确保方案 通过严格的计划选出的试点项目获奖者的成长和成功 为第三阶段眼镜蛇开发的。(2)提供经验丰富的导师、导师和评估计划；以及 方案和外部监督，以确保试点项目获奖者成功获得独立 资助和进行科学严谨和可重复的研究。(3)增强地方性和全国性 促进和指导试点项目获奖者独立成长的职业发展机会 研究人员，同时为所有Cobre参与者提供丰富的研究环境。这些 通过培训敬业的科学家和建立长期的、相互的 研究人员与科学核心之间的有益互动。这些接触的焦点可能会吸引 额外的调查人员，因为我们通过继续努力促进内部和外部联盟 我们的系列研讨会、老年兴趣小组会议和职业发展俱乐部等机制 旨在吸引Cobre和非Cobre调查人员，保持他们的参与，并鼓励 合作。

The overall objective of the Pilot Project Program is to further solidify and enrich the pilot project program’s success achieved during Phase I and II of the COBRE by selecting talented mentees and highly experienced mentors with matching expertise and by providing a competent and effective administrative structure to guarantee good management, integration, and oversight of our pilot project program. This will be achieved by our team of COBRE director, program coordinators, senior mentors, core leaders, other steering committee members, and external advisory committee members. The success of their efforts will be assisted by our COBRE program administrator. This team of investigators and administrators provides a carefully designed framework to support and nurture our pilot project awardees and to ensure responsible conduct and scientific rigor and reproducibility of their research, as they are coached in their development as independent researchers. This supportive environment is created by providing the clear and rigorous selection process of awardees and mentors, by ensuring the formative and summative evaluation of the progress of the selected faculty, by instituting internal and external oversight of the pilot project program, and by the overt communication of the expectations placed upon both the awardees and mentors. Notably, the Phase III pilot project program will capitalize on the cutting-edge technologies provided by our scientific core. This shift in emphasis is designed to enhance the impact of the research and contribute considerably to the sustainability of our center. Thus, we will: (1) Provide administrative structure and technical resources to assure programmatic growth and success of the pilot projects awardees that are selected through a rigorous plan specifically developed for the Phase III COBRE. (2) Provide experienced mentors, mentoring and evaluation plans, and programmatic and external oversight to ensure the success of pilot project awardees in obtaining independent funding and in conducting scientifically rigorous and reproducible research. (3) Enhance local and national career development opportunities to facilitate and guide pilot project awardees in their growth as independent investigators, and at the same time enriching the research environment for all COBRE participants. These measures will solidify our center by training dedicated scientists and by establishing long-term, mutually beneficial interactions between researchers and the scientific core. These foci of contact will likely attract additional investigators because of our efforts to foster internal and external alliances through continuing mechanisms such as our seminar series, aging interest group meetings, and career development clubs that are designed to attract COBRE and non-COBRE investigators, keep them engaged, and to encourage collaborations.
