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 office of the COBRE is housed in the central administration office complex of the Department of Microbiology, Molecular Genetics and Immunology. Two work stations have been established for the accountant and the secretary, respectively, and will be situated in a 200 sq. ft. office. Each is computer-networked with investigators on the three campuses. All information related to the COBRE program is kept on file in this office. Functions 1)Conduct bi-monthly review of research programs of junior faculty on the three campuses. 2)Identify projects of individuals that have potential for COBRE support and provide guidance for the direction in which the research program should be pointed so as to increase its competitiveness or receiving COBRE support. 3)Provide oversight of selection of new faculty for COBRE support. 4)Insurance that COBRE funds are spent appropriately. 5)Chair annual review of progress of supported members. 6)Provide input to the IAC on the decision for termination of COBRE support of a particular candidate following his/her success in acquiring independent NIH funding. 7)Chair monthly seminar and/or Data-presentation sessions of supported faculty. 8) Chair an annual symposium at which COBRE members will make formal presentations to an audience comprised of the Outside Advisors, members of the IAC, and mentors.
