项目总结/摘要 特拉华州大学心血管健康卓越生物医学研究中心的目标是 继续支持多学科研究，旨在了解潜在的机制， 心血管健康和/或功能不良的原因和后果，并制定有效的干预措施 对于这些条件。在第一阶段，该中心成功地发展了一个队列的独立研究生涯 的调查员。我们将培养四个新的心血管研究人员的研究生涯， 第二阶段。这些调查人员将得到全面的指导和职业发展计划的支持， 以及COBRE研究核心的基础设施。这些核心资源沿着一个试点项目 新的教职员工将使该中心具有更长期的可持续性。COBRE的总体目标是 行政核心是最大限度地提高每个项目的生产力和影响力，研究核心， 通过有效的管理、指导和职业发展、评估和扩展，将中心作为一个整体 的中心。这将通过以下方式实现：1）发展对行政、财政、 和科学方面的中心; 2）实施有效的指导和职业发展 计划; 3）通过实施以下措施，监测中心实现里程碑的进展情况： 总结性和形成性评价;以及4）通过试点赠款扩大中心，以新的 研究人员和招聘具有心血管健康专业知识的研究人员。 行政核心概述了一个领导计划，其中包括PI，副主任，内部顾问， 委员会和外部咨询委员会。计划毕业和更换项目负责人也是 介绍了

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of the University of Delaware Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Cardiovascular Health is to continue to support multidisciplinary research aimed toward understanding the mechanisms underlying the causes and consequences of poor cardiovascular health and/or function, and developing effective interventions for these conditions. In Phase I, the center successfully developed the independent research careers of a cohort of investigators. We will foster the research careers of four new cardiovascular-focused investigators during Phase II. These investigators will be supported by a comprehensive mentoring and career development program, as well as infrastructure through the COBRE Research Core. These core resources along with a pilot program and new faculty hires will position the center for longer term sustainability. The overall goal of the COBRE administrative core is to maximize the productivity and impact of each of the projects, research core, and the center as a whole through effective management, mentoring and career development, evaluation, and expansion of the center. This will be accomplished by 1) developing effective management of administrative, fiscal, and scientific aspects of the center; 2) implementing an effective mentoring and career development plan; 3) monitoring the progress of the center toward milestones through the implementation of summative and formative evaluations; and 4) expanding the center through pilot grants to new investigators and recruitment of research faculty with expertise in cardiovascular health. The administrative core outlines a leadership plan that includes the PI, Associate Director, an Internal Advisory Committee, and an External Advisory Committee. Plans for graduating and replacing project leaders are also described.
