Teaching Programme

The primary objectives of the training and teaching programme are:
Coordinators
Dr. Joan A. Barber

and Dr. Ana Obeso
• To promote the acquisition of integrated clinical-basic knowledge among

CIBERES investigators to provide a translational approach to the scientific ob-
jectives.

• To boost interest for research in respiratory diseases among younger people

undergoing training within the field of Biomedicine so that they can nurture

future CIBERES research teams, as well as attract those who are the most tal-
ented.

• To facilitate interaction and mobility of staff between the teams integrated in

CIBERES to improve their technical abilities and scientific capacity.

Three action programmes were established to achieve these objectives, and their ac-

tivity in 2013 included:

Training Research Initiation Grants (BII).

programme for This programme was considerably successful in CIBERES because of the interest in the
call for proposals and because of the results obtained. The grants can be used as aid
research staff
to young investigators to begin their training. For 1 year, they are a part of a research
project funded by official bodies comprised within one of the research groups forming

part of CIBERES. The intention is that in that year, the grant holders can access an offi-

cial research staff training programme (FPI) and be linked to the CIBERES group. 66%
of the grant money is provided by the CIBERES training and teaching programme and

33% of it is provided by the group actually receiving the grant holder.
