## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as heart disease, heart failure, and stroke affect Delawareans at a rate
significantly above the national average. In this application, we seek to establish a Center of Biomedical
Research Excellence in Cardiovascular Health that can interface with the larger regional clinical and research
mission and positively impact the cardiovascular health of our regional populations. This center will catalyze
cardiovascular health research by fostering the independent research careers of a team of subproject new
investigators, strengthen the research infrastructure and capacity to perform cardiovascular health research by
establishing core facilities that will enhance the research capability of the five subproject principal investigators
and other members of the Center, and develop a sustainable research center in cardiovascular health. The
overall goal of the COBRE administrative core is to maximize the productivity and impact of each of the
subprojects, core, and the center as a whole through effective management, mentoring and career
development, evaluation, and expansion of the center. This will be accomplished by: 1) establishing effective
management of administrative, fiscal, and scientific aspects of the proposed COBRE; 2) establishing an
effective mentoring and career development plan to foster the independent research careers subproject new
investigators; 3) monitoring the progress of the proposed COBRE toward milestones through the
implementation of summative and formative evaluations; and 4) expanding the center through pilot grants to
new investigators and targeted recruitment of research faculty with expertise in cardiovascular health.
The administrative core outlines a leadership plan that includes the PI, an Internal Advisory Committee, an
evaluator, and a to-be-formed External Advisory Committee. A mentoring program that complements the
ongoing mentoring that occurs at the University of Delaware is described. Plans for graduating and replacing
subproject investigators are also outlined.
