Transversal Programmes
Training Programme
COORDINATOR: DR . ANA OBESO
The main objectives of the teaching programme
continued to be:
• To promote the acquisition of clinical-basic in- tergrade knowledge by CIBERES researchers, so as to facilitate a translational approach to scientific objectives.
• To foster interest for research in respiratory
Improvement and mobility group
Three lines of action were implemented in 2015:
• Co-financing of enrolment dues (generally 3rd university cycle courses). Modules of up to 500 euros per module.
• Travel pools for attending training courses or
diseases among young people in their training stage in the field of Biomedicine, so that they can form part of CIBERES research teams, at- tracting the ones with greatest talent.
• To facilitate interaction and mobility of person- nel among CIBERES groups in order to improve their technical skills and scientific capacity.
In 2015 the activity was focussed on two pro- grammes:
Programme for training research personnel
GRANTS FOR INITIATION TO RESEARCH
This programme was a considerable success at the CIBERES, both through the interest of the call and because of the results obtained. The grants are intended to act as assistance for young research- ers to start their training for one year, by joining a re- search project financed by official bodies, at one of the research groups forming part of the CIBERES.
The intention is that during this year the benefi- ciaries should be able to gain access to an official research personnel training programme (-Spanish “FPI”), staying in the CIBERES group. The grants are 66% co-financed by the training and teaching programme of the CIBERES and 33% by the actual receiving group.
As in previous years, in accordance with the budget possibilities, five contracts for grants were imple- mented in 2015, awarded in late 2014.
activities away from the place of residence. Modules of up to 500 euros per module.
• Co-financing of stays in another city for learn- ing techniques. Modules of up to 1200 euros.
In 2015 ten applications were financed in this line of action.
Programme for fostering interest in respiratory research
TRAINING EVENTS FOR RESEARCH PERSONNEL
On 15th and 16th October 2015 the 8th Training Event was held in Valladolid, at the Palacio de Congresos Conde Ansúrez.
The CIBERES Training Events set out to make known the research lines, the research work done and the available resources of the different CIBERES groups, as well as to foster interrelations between younger researchers, attempting to es- tablish bonds and interactions between clinical and basic researchers. As a novelty at this 2015 edition some new ideas were brought in about preparing proposals for European projects from an interdisciplinary and cooperative standpoint with CIBERBBN and CIBERER.
42 junior CIBERES researchers took part and there was also a major presence of senior re- searchers.
3 awards for the best oral communications and a special “Dr. Constancio González” award for the oral communication getting most votes were granted.
