INBRE:URI: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE

这个子项目是许多利用 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NCRR和参与机构的沟通，审查新的研究子项目和试点项目，组织指导委员会，指导委员会（SC）和外部咨询委员会（EAC）的会议，与计划有关的旅行，计划评估调查的制定和管理，收集数据和编写年度进展报告。 审计委员会每月与所有核心协调员举行会议，以解决问题和规划方案活动。 在常设委员会和选管会会议上讨论了与政策事项有关的问题。 更多详细信息见本APR的总体项目摘要。本报告期内的一项主要工作是准备并向NIH提交RI-INBRE项目竞争性更新的资助申请。 科学委员会和选管会在规划和准备这项赠款申请方面提供了指导。 选管会成员沿着一组特设外部顾问，审查了收到的延长拨款的研究建议，并协助选择那些更有价值的项目。 SC和EAC还为网络基础设施改善的补充拨款申请提供了意见。 最近的EAC会议记录摘要包含在本APR中。AC还填补了一个兼职工作人员职位，以满足与合作机构联络的需要，跟踪学生并编写通讯。 年内举办了两次务虚会，一次在2008年8月，另一次在2009年1月。 暑期本科生研究奖学金计划与国际扶轮EPSCoR计划协调。 更多关于暑期课程的活动在学生培训下提供。 核心还代表RI-INBRE方案出席了在华盛顿举行的NISBRE会议。

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, organizing meetings of the mentoring Committees, Steering Committee (SC) and External Advisory Committee (EAC), program-related travel, development and administration of surveys for program evaluation, collection of data and preparation of the annual progress report. AC held monthly meetings with all the core coordinators to resolve issues and plan program activities. Issues related to policy matters were discussed at the SC and the EAC meetings. Further details are provided in the overall program summary in this APR. A major undertaking during this reporting period was the preparation and submission of a grant application to NIH for competitive renewal of the RI-INBRE program. The SC and EAC provided guidance both in planning and preparation of this grant application. Along with a group of ad hoc external consultants, the EAC members reviewed the research proposals received for the grant renewal, and assisted in the selection of those projects that were more meritorious. The SC and EAC also provided their input for the supplemental grant application for cyberinfrastructure improvement. A summary of the minutes of the most recent EAC meetings are included with this APR. The AC also filled a part-time staff position created to serve the need for a liaison with the partner institutions, tracking students and preparing a newsletter. Two Retreats were organized during the year, one in August 2008 and the other in January 2009. The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program was coordinated with the RI EPSCoR Program. More about the activities of the summer program is provided under student training. The Core was also represented the RI-INBRE program at the NISBRE meeting in Washington, DC.
