In 2011, faculty from the University of Rhode Island (URI)'s Institute for Immunology and Informatics and Lifespan's Center for International Health Research collaborated to develop a successful application for a Phase I Center of Biomedical Research Excellence around the scientific theme of translational infectious diseases immunology. From 2013 to 2020, this COBRE supported significant discoveries in research on dengue, HIV, and malaria, among other diseases, and facilitated the career development of several independent Rhode Island (RI)-based early-stage investigators. Our experience illustrates both the potential and challenges for investigators with shared scientific interests to leverage the NIH COBRE program to enhance cross-institutional interactions.
2011年，罗德岛大学（URI）免疫学与信息学研究所和生命周期国际健康研究中心的教员合作，围绕转化性传染病免疫学这一科学主题，成功申请了一个一期卓越生物医学研究中心项目。从2013年到2020年，这个COBRE项目支持了在登革热、艾滋病毒和疟疾等疾病研究方面的重大发现，并促进了几位罗德岛州（RI）独立早期研究人员的职业发展。我们的经验既说明了有共同科学兴趣的研究人员利用美国国立卫生研究院COBRE项目加强跨机构互动的潜力，也说明了其中的挑战。
