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 is directed by the Principal Investigator (PI) and includes two office staff members (one 0.9 FTE and one 0.7 FTE) who oversee all administrative activities including accounting, travel arrangements, meetings, Steering and External Advisory Committee (EAC) activities, summer student programs, budgets, the INBRE website, and other activities. During the 01 year, all of these activities were carried out according to plan. The Steering Committee met twice independently as well as once in conjunction with an EAC meeting during the 01 year. The EAC met once in the fall of the 01 year and a second meeting is scheduled for June 10 during the final month of the 01 year. Investigators of the ten INBRE research projects have presented, or will present at the June EAC meeting, to each committee at least once during the 01 year. The PI has carried out regular visits to the laboratories of each of the 10 INBRE project scientists. A report has been commissioned by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Research Competitiveness Program to provide an evaluation of the progress of the INBRE and the implementation of the INBRE plan at INBRE undergraduate institutions. The AAAS site visit was carried out April 25-28 of the 01 year. The Administrative Core also supports a project evaluator to conduct ongoing evaluations, including an assessment of biomedical research capacity at the INBRE undergraduate institutions. In the 01 year, this evaluation has been primarily formative to ensure that the impact of the project can be monitored appropriately in subsequent years.
