## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
 The goal of the revised COBRE Center for Applied Immunology and Pathological Processes is to 
establish a nationally recognized advanced research and training program that facilitates the development of 
junior faculty research toward major independent research funding in the research intersections between the 
dysfunctioning of the immune response and disease pathogenesis. That is, we hope to grow Applied 
Immunology as a discipline on campus because of its importance as a basic science, clinical science and a 
translational science that can engage and synergize with all of the other centers on campus. Specifically, we 
hope to focus on the understanding of abnormal immune responses with disease pathogenesis, such that we 
provide a better understanding of how when the immune response is altered, immunopathology or disease 
development ensues. This focused research area is in line with our current expertise and with our new 
targeted junior faculty hiring plan (3 new tenure track faculty have been hired in 2019 that fit directly with the 
COBRE application; additional positions will open in 2020). In order to accomplish this goal, a multifaceted 
plan for research program development along with mentorship and training is required. The Administration 
Core A will implement and manage all COBRE program initiatives including establishing advanced research 
core facilities, establishing a mentorship program for junior faculty development, junior faculty development 
workshops, establishing External and Internal Advisory Committees along with a Senior Mentoring 
Committee, coordination with the External Research Specialists, establishing an annual scientific colloquium 
and formal evaluation procedures, and establishing pilot grant mechanism that supports development of 
promising projects from junior faculty. The Administration Core (Core A) will be managed by the COBRE PI 
along with coordinator assistance, core management assistance, and business management oversight of the 
program budget. This core will centralize all COBRE program documentation and reporting in compliance 
with NIH COBRE requirements.
