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. To provide summative and formative program evaluation, an independent evaluation team, housed in the Office of Evaluation in the University's Social Science Research Institute, was retained. They have met with each core leader to discuss and to assess the responsibilities and the accomplishments of each core. Along with this effort, they are preparing a comprehensive survey of the state's biomedical research enterprise to acquire a baseline for subsequent evaluation of the INBRE grant's impact at various times during the grant cycle. Furthermore, the Principal Investigator met weekly with the core leaders and the program coordinator to assess the progress of the on-going projects and to review performance objectives for future efforts. In October 31, 2004, the Manoa campus was flooded. The school of Medicine was particularly affected. An additional evaluation was then requested to define the impact of the flood on the biomedical researchers across campus: those who lost their laboratories and materials, whose who needed to be temporarly relocated, and those who hosted in their laboratories the researchers without research space available to them anymore.
