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 overall goal of core A within the RCMI is to extend and further develop excellence in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics by hiring three new junior faculty members. Specifically, we proposed to 1) Extend our existing strength in Computational Biology (Aim 1); and 2) Extend faculty with essential skills in Bioinformatics (Aim 2). As indicated in the last progress report, searches for the first two RCMI faculty candidates were completed in the spring of 2006, and at the time of the previous progress report, we indicated that negotiations were underway with our two top candidates. We are pleased to report that both candidates, Dr. Fidel Santamaria and Dr. Kelly Sutter have, in fact, joined our faculty and have settled into their laboratories in the new BSE building. Both have become very active users of both the RCMI computational core and the RCMI imaging core. In the fall of 2006, the Department of Biology authorized a new search for an additional RCMI junior faculty in Computational Biology. In addition to resources from the university, this search is specifically for the last of 3 requested RCMI positions in this grant. The search was conducted in the winter of 2007. A total of 38 applications were received from which 7 candidates were selected for interviews which were held in February through April of 2007. Offers have now been made to the top candidates. Negotiations are currently underway with this candidate. At this point we anticipate that this candidate will accept the offered position. Space for faculty offices and labs has been allocated in the new Bio Science Engineering Building which was occupied in December of 2005. This building also houses the new Computational Biology Facility (also supported by the RCMI: see second year progress report for core D). As for the previous two successful hires, it is clear that the existence of this state-of-the-art facility as well as the RCMI imaging core has added considerably to the attractiveness of UTSA to this candidate. Future Plans Within the next month we intend to finalize the recruitment of the last of three RCMI hires. At that point the RCMI faculty development core will have completed its obligations. Monies from this core will continue to support the salary and start-up requirements of the hired faculty.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 RCMI中核心A的总体目标是通过雇用三个新的初级教师来扩展并进一步发展计算生物学和生物信息学的卓越。 具体来说，我们提出了1）扩大我们在计算生物学方面的现有力量（AIM 1）； 2）扩展具有生物信息学基本技能的教师（AIM 2）。 正如上次进度报告所示，搜索前两个RCMI教师候选人于2006年春季完成，在上一份进度报告时，我们表示与我们的两位顶级候选人进行了谈判。 我们很高兴地报告说，实际上，两位候选人Fidel Santamaria博士和凯利·萨特（Kelly Sutter）博士都加入了我们的教职员工，并已在新的BSE大楼中定居他们的实验室。 两者都已成为RCMI计算核心和RCMI成像核心的非常活跃的用户。 2006年秋天，生物学系授权新的搜索计算生物学中的RCMI初级教师。 除了大学的资源外，此搜索还针对本赠款中3个要求的RCMI职位的最后一个。 该搜索是在2007年冬季进行的。总共收到了38份申请，其中7名候选人被选为在2007年2月至2007年4月举行的访谈中。现在已经向顶级候选人提供了报价。 目前正在与该候选人进行谈判。 在这一点上，我们预计该候选人将接受所提供的职位。 教师办公室和实验室的空间已在2005年12月被占用的新的生物科学工程大楼中分配。该建筑还设有新的计算生物学设施（也得到了RCMI的支持：请参阅核心D的第二年进度报告）。 至于前两名成功的员工，很明显，这种最先进的设施以及RCMI成像核心的存在已经大大增加了UTSA对该候选人的吸引力。 未来计划 在下个月内，我们打算最终确定三名RCMI员工中的最后一次招募。 那时，RCMI教师发展核心将完成其义务。 该核心的款项将继续支持雇用教师的薪水和初创企业要求。
