DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal builds upon the accomplishments made during the previous funding period and requests continuing support of COBRE, the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in the Molecular Basis of Human Disease. During the four year period this COBRE grant has been active, 22 junior faculty from 9 different departments were mentored of which 8 received NIH R01 funding and an additional 4 received Other forms of extramural funding. Participating in the activities of the Center has been an additional 11 faculty, 11 postdoctoral/research associates and 9 graduate students. The members of the Center published more than 175 research papers, and made 38 presentations at scientific meetings. The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, in which the COBRE is housed, rose from 28th to 12th in NIH rankings in terms of Public Medical Schools, and 26th in terms of all Medical Schools during the tenure of the COBRE. This was accomplished by an increase in $5,148,302 of NIH grant dollars excluding the COBRE funds. The Center for Molecular Medicine was formed in 2007 as a direct consequence of the accomplishments made during the first phase of the COBRE (Aug 2004- July 2009). In the second phase of this COBRE we propose to establish a nationally and internationally recognized research center that will continue to compete effectively for extramural research funding. To accomplish this we propose i) to expand our critical mass of investigators including the mentoring of an additional 5 promising junior investigators who are studying the molecular basis of human disease. This will include a targeted new recruit to the University. We will enhance the opportunity to translate their research to patients by facilitating interactions with clinical faculty. We will continue with the major focus in cancer, diabetes, and neurological diseases, ii) We will expand and continue to develop our core facilities in Proteomics, Chemistry, Microscopy, Protein characterization, and Mouse Genotyping. iii) We will continue to support pilot research projects. This has been a highly effective way to enhance the research of a rather significant number of junior faculty; iv) facilitate the development of a sustainable center through the submission of program project grants and multi-PI grants. We will provide staff resource and pilot funding to enhance these activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): To enhance the competitiveness of junior faculty at the University of Kentucky through the funding of promising junior faculty and providing state-of-the-art research cores.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案建立在上一个资金期间的成就基础上，并要求Cobre继续支持人类疾病分子基础生物医学研究中心。在四年期间，这笔鞋带赠款一直活跃，来自9个不同部门的22名初级教职员工得到了指导，其中8个获得了NIH R01资金，另外4个获得了其他形式的壁外资金。参加该中心的活动是另外11位教职员工，11名博士后/研究伙伴和9名研究生。该中心成员发表了175篇研究论文，并在科学会议上进行了38次演讲。毛皮所容纳的分子和细胞生物化学系在公立医学院的NIH排名中从28位上升到第12位，而在毛cre任职期间，所有医学院就第26位。这是通过不包括柯布尔资金（Cobre Funds）的NIH赠款$ 5,148,302的增加而实现的。分子医学中心成立于2007年，是毛cre第一阶段成就的直接结果（2004年8月至2009年7月）。 在此山脉的第二阶段，我们建议建立一个国家和国际认可的 研究中心将继续有效地争夺校外研究资金。为了实现这一目标，我们建议i）扩大我们的关键调查人员的批量，包括另外5个 正在研究人类疾病分子基础的有希望的初级研究者。这将包括有针对性的新兵到大学。我们将通过促进与临床教师的互动来增强将他们的研究转化为患者的机会。我们将继续关注癌症，糖尿病和神经系统疾病的主要重点，ii）我们将扩展并继续开发蛋白质组学，化学，显微镜，蛋白质表征和小鼠基因分型领域的核心设施。 iii）我们将继续支持试点研究项目。这是增强大量初级教师研究的一种非常有效的方法。 iv）通过提交计划项目赠款和多PI赠款来促进可持续中心的发展。我们将提供员工资源和试点资金来增强这些活动。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：通过资助有前途的初级教师并提供最先进的研究核心，以增强肯塔基大学初级教师的竞争力。
