The goal of the Emory/Georgia TRAC is to grow the next generation of investigators focused on tuberculosis (TB) research, who will contribute to efforts to meet the ambitious World Health Organization (WHO) End TB strategy of eliminating TB by 2035 through better implementation of existing tools and development of new scientific tools for TB elimination. The Developmental Core will implement a multifaceted program entitled, Building the nExt GeneRation of resEArchers to End TB (BE GREAT), to enhance, stimulate, and expand the TB research community at the Emory/Georgia TRAC partner institutions. Our Development Core will build on a strong existing TB research infrastructure and institutional resources with a focus on enhancing career development of early stage investigators (ESIs) and attracting promising new investigators to the field. We will carry out didactic and mentored research training and provide new opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and team science training. Our long-term goal is to further develop and enhance a multidisciplinary, collaborative, and diverse TB research community that leads to impactful research aimed at ending the global TB epidemic. Our BE GREAT Developmental Core platform would utilize TRAC resources to support a targeted program of funding, mentorship and leadership training, and professional development to accomplish our goal of developing independent TB researchers focused on high priority areas of the Emory/Georgia TRAC Administrative Core, WHO and the NIAID. The Developmental Core will be led by Drs. Russell Kempker and Henry Blumberg, NIH-funded TB investigators with a long and successful history of TB-related research and research training including mentoring of ESIs at Emory and globally. Drs. Kempker and Blumberg will work with the Emory/Georgia TRAC MPIs and other Core leaders to integrate the Development Core activities across all Cores. We will also enhance opportunities for didactic and mentored research training and career development as well as ensure research resources are available to Emory/Georgia TRAC investigators. By utilizing NIH and institutional support and leveraging existing infrastructure at the Emory Center for AIDS research (CFAR), Specialized Center of Research Excellence on Sex (SCORE), Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research, and Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance (Georgia CTSA, the NIH-funded Clinical and Translational Science Award), the BE GREAT program will have a broad impact on the next generation of global TB leaders. We will achieve our goal of developing a cadre of well trained, successful and independent TB researchers through the following specific aims: 1) Provide professional and career developmental support for ESIs focused on TB-related research careers, 2) Provide mentorship and training for TB investigators, and 3) Provide short-term research funding to ESIs and investigators new to TB through pilot grants. Our pilot funding and training programs will provide substantial added value for the Emory/Georgia TRAC community and will be vital to help recruit, engage and sustain the next generation of TB investigators.

埃默里/佐治亚州 TRAC 的目标是培养专注于结核病的下一代研究人员 （结核病）研究，他们将为实现世界卫生组织（WHO）雄心勃勃的消灭结核病目标做出贡献 通过更好地实施现有工具和开发新工具，到 2035 年消除结核病的战略 消除结核病的科学工具。发展核心将实施一项多方面的计划，名为： 培养下一代研究人员以终结结核病（BE GREAT），以增强、刺激和扩展 埃默里/佐治亚州 TRAC 合作机构的结核病研究界。我们的发展核心将建立 依托强大的现有结核病研究基础设施和机构资源，重点是加强职业发展 培养早期研究人员（ESI）并吸引有前途的新研究人员进入该领域。我们将 开展教学和指导研究培训，并为领导、指导、 和团队科学培训。我们的长期目标是进一步发展和加强多学科、 协作、多元化的结核病研究社区，开展旨在结束全球结核病的有影响力的研究 结核病流行。我们的 BE GREAT 发展核心平台将利用 TRAC 资源来支持 有针对性的资助、指导和领导力培训以及专业发展计划，以实现 我们的目标是培养独立结核病研究人员，重点关注埃默里/佐治亚州 TRAC 的高度优先领域 行政核心、世界卫生组织和国家过敏和传染病研究所。发展核心将由博士领导。拉塞尔·肯普克和 Henry Blumberg 是美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的结核病研究人员，在结核病相关研究方面拥有悠久而成功的历史 研究培训，包括埃默里大学和全球 ESI 的指导。博士。肯普克和布隆伯格将与 埃默里/佐治亚州 TRAC MPI 和其他核心领导者将发展核心活动整合到所有领域 核心。我们还将增加教学和指导研究培训以及职业发展的机会 以及确保埃默里/佐治亚州 TRAC 研究人员可以获得研究资源。通过利用 NIH 和 机构支持并利用埃默里艾滋病研究中心 (CFAR) 的现有基础设施， 性学卓越研究专业中心 (SCORE)，佐治亚州糖尿病翻译中心 研究和佐治亚州临床和转化科学联盟（佐治亚州 CTSA，NIH 资助的临床 和转化科学奖），BE GREAT 计划将对下一代产生广泛的影响 全球结核病领导者。我们将实现培养一支训练有素、成功、独立的干部队伍的目标 结核病研究人员通过以下具体目标：1）提供专业和职业发展 支持专注于结核病相关研究事业的 ESI，2) 为结核病提供指导和培训 3) 通过试点向 ESI 和新接触结核病的研究人员提供短期研究经费 补助金。我们的试点资助和培训计划将为埃默里/佐治亚州提供可观的附加值 TRAC 社区对于帮助招募、吸引和维持下一代结核病调查人员至关重要。
