## Abstract

Project Summary
For the past 10 years, the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) COBRE
“Mentoring Diabetes Research in Oklahoma” has been an important resource in transforming
OUHSC into an institution committed to the mentoring and development of junior investigators
to productive scientific careers. Through its support of 9 junior investigators, 7 pilot projects, and
an evolving set of 4 cores, this resource has provided the infrastructure to help launch over 10
independent research careers and support the subsequent funding of numerous local and
national grants. In addition, many of our prior COBRE Pilot Projects have led to new
collaborations between COBRE investigators within and outside Oklahoma. These interactions
have led to collaborative manuscripts in high-impact journals, new scientific directions and
transfer of technology across laboratories. Our Pilot Project selection process entails an open
competition (with notifications to junior scientists, mentors, section chiefs and program heads),
with applications reviewed by our experienced Internal Advisory Committee to rank applications.
Ranked applications are then reviewed by our External Advisory Committee, and the top
projects are funded as resources allow. All applicants (whether or not they receive funding)
receive written comments about the application and have a post-review mentoring session with
at least one member of the IAC to help improve the applications for future submissions and to
suggest alternative funding opportunities. All Pilot Project awardees present and discuss their
progress with an assigned mentoring team, as well as present and discuss results/future
directions with the IAC and at the annual EAC review. The Pilot Project Core is also evaluated
and improved through a formal evaluation plan outlined in the Administrative Core. In Phase III,
the Pilot Projects funded by the COBRE will receive matching fund from the Vice President of
Research, further enhancing the impacts of this program. The Pilot Project Program will also
join force with the Seed Grant Program funded by the Harold Hamm Diabetes Center. This
Program will greatly promote diabetes research in Oklahoma and prepare for our application for
NIH-funded Diabetic Research Center.
