Administrative Core

行政核心支持本应用程序中概述的组件，以促进以下研究： 应用生物物理学，结构生物学和化学的方法和概念来理解 健康和疾病的生物过程的机械基础。核心通过以下四个具体目标做到这一点： 思想：1）提供CBSD和COBRE的愿景，领导和负责任的管理; 2）提供 为中心的初级教师提供指导和专业发展计划，以及科学交流 在科学界; 3）招募项目调查员，并提供职业发展奖（开始- 4）建立和维护积极和参与的核心设施，目标是 持续发展核心通过召集几个额外的人才和领导来实现这些特定的目标。 和内部教员，以指导核心在其使命，以支持COBRE的活动。我们有 建立了主任和副主任的领导，他们指导核心的工作。的 外部和内部咨询委员会成员是国际公认的科学家， 补充COBRE的使命，并为CBSD领导层提供必要的指导。的 行政核心还雇用了一个有能力的工作人员谁监督作为预算和赠款管理COBRE 和相关教师（财务官），对COBRE活动的方案支持（计划 协调员），并通过发票和财务跟踪支持核心设施收费系统 （会计助理）。行政核心作为一个有凝聚力的既定单位，支持和促进 通过以下方式开展研究项目：初级研究者指导;试点项目;桥梁资助;职业发展 奖项;专业发展讲习班，研讨会和专题讨论会;毕业生招聘和支持; 授标前和授标后赠款管理服务;机构支助资金的管理;以及 核心研究设施的基础设施和可持续性。该提案的一个重要总体目标是促进 自我可持续的中心通过指导和支持一个社区的优秀初级和建立 研究人员，并通过采用多种资金流，以确保可持续的核心研究设施。的 行政核心是实现这一目标的重要组成部分。

The Administrative Core supports the components outlined in this application, in order to facilitate research that applies the methods and concepts of biophysics, structural biology and chemistry to understand the mechanistic basis of biological processes in health and disease. The Core does this with four specific aims in mind: 1) provide vision, leadership and responsible management of the CBSD and COBRE; 2) provide mentoring and professional development programs for junior faculty in the Center, and scientific exchange within the scientific community; 3) recruit Project Investigators and provide Career Development awards (start- up funds) for new CBSD faculty; 4) establish and maintain active and engaged Core Facilities, with a goal for sustainability. The Core meets these specific aims by calling upon the talents and leadership of several extra- and intra-mural faculty, to guide the Core in its mission to support the activities of the COBRE. We have established leadership from the Director and the Associate Director, who guide the Core in its endeavors. The External and Internal Advisory Committee members are internationally-recognized scientists with experience that complements the mission of the COBRE and who provide essential guidance to CBSD leadership. The Administrative Core also employs a capable staff who oversee as budget and grant management for COBRE and related faculty (Financial Officer), programmatic support for activities of the COBRE (Program Coordinator), and support the Core Facility charge-back system through invoicing and financial tracking (Accounting Associate). The Administrative Core works as a cohesive, established unit to support and foster research programs through: Junior Investigator mentoring; Pilot Projects; Bridge Funding; Career Development Awards; Professional Development workshops, seminars and symposia; Graduate recruitment and support; Pre- and Post-award Grant Management services; Management of Institutional support funds; and Supporting Core Research Facility infrastructure and sustainability. An important overall goal of this proposal is to foster a self-sustainable Center by mentoring and supporting a community of outstanding junior and established investigators, and by adopting multiple funding streams to ensure sustainable Core Research Facilities. The Administrative Core is a vital component to the achievement of this goal.
