## Abstract

The Overall Goals of the Administrative Core of the CardioPulmonary Vascular Biology (CPVB) Center of 
Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) during Phase II are to sustain the successes of Phase I and to 
expand the scope and visibility of vascular biology research in Rhode Island. The CPVB COBRE includes 
investigators who are employed by Brown University, affiliated hospitals, and/or the University of Rhode Island. 
A competitive Pilot Project program will identify and support additional faculty in preparation of preliminary data 
to be used in applications for external funding. Progress toward goals of the Core will be assessed 
continuously. The Overall Goals will be accomplished by the following specific aims: (1) Identify promising 
faculty investigating vascular biology and support their professional and scientific development, developing 
individualized Career Guidance Plans and providing feedback on progress toward achieving short-term 
benchmarks and long-term impact. (2) Manage activities that enhance career development of investigators and 
vascular biology research in Rhode Island, including scientific and career development programs, visiting 
professors, opportunities to attend external workshops and trainings, participation in the All-State IDeA 
Symposium, and organization of the annual Rhode Island Vascular Biology Symposium. (3) Organize and 
manage administrative functions of the COBRE including committee meetings, communication, website 
maintenance, data collection for investigator tracking and evaluation, financial management, and Progress 
Reports. (4) Track and enhance Cell Isolation/Organ Function Core Laboratory sustainability using a tracking 
database and facilitate the CPVB COBRE's transition to a sustainable center supported by competitive grant 
support. Successful accomplishment of these aims will result in development of a sustainable center 
supported by external funding that will continue to expand the scope and depth of vascular biology research in 
Rhode Island and develop the careers of faculty to become national leaders in biomedical research.
