PROPOSAL NO.: 0234101PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Gregory BuckINSTITUTION NAME: Virginia Commonwealth UniversityTITLE: NIH-NSF BBSI at Virginia Commonwealth UniversityAbstractThis proposal is recommended for funding. The proposal was rated as Highly Recommended (FUND) by the panel and the program director agrees with the panel's judgment.Specific comments about the proposal in relation to the review criteria are outlined below.Intellectual MeritThe fields of bioengineering and bioinformatics are being redefined through technological advances, but it is clear that the most critical work will take place at the interface between classical disciplines. It is therefore essential to attract new people to the field who work well in the gray areas and who can learn to adapt easily to the different languages of molecular biology, computational and mathematical sciences, and engineering.The VCU team has developed an integrated curriculum to provide exposure and experiences in both fields of bioinformatics and bioengineering. This Institute fits into the overall goals of VCU. They have developed a new five year Master's in bioinformatics, with three tracks: computational and engineering, genomics and biology, and quantitative and statistical. Newly created School of Engineering has a strong focus in Bioengineering with connection to MCV Hospitals of VCU Health Systems. VCU Life Sciences creates an umbrella over these entities to enhance the integration of the two fields. Broader ImpactIn order to take rising juniors with no necessary laboratory experience and evoke within them the sense that they are active and valuable members of a scientific project, the Institute will lead them through a series of highly integrated intensive research simulations, inspired by actual problems from each of their host laboratories. Core skill bases such as computational and mathematical methods will serve to integrate, across disciplines and research areas, the analytical and methodological skills of the Institute participants. While the first summer will provide students with a view of bioengineering and bioinformatics that is focused on the problems addressed by the laboratories of the institute, the second summer will offer a broader look at the fields.I recommend funding of the proposal for a total of $660,602 for four years.

提案编号： 0234101主要赞助人：格雷戈里巴克机构名称：弗吉尼亚联邦大学标题：NIH-NSF BBSI在弗吉尼亚联邦大学摘要本建议的资金。 该项目被评审委员会评为“高度推荐”（FUND），项目负责人也同意评审委员会的判断。下面是对该项目评审标准的具体评论。学术价值生物工程和生物信息学领域正在通过技术进步重新定义，但很明显，最关键的工作将发生在经典学科之间的界面上。因此，吸引那些在灰色地带工作的新人进入该领域是至关重要的，他们可以轻松地学习适应分子生物学，计算和数学科学以及工程学的不同语言。VCU团队开发了一个综合课程，提供生物信息学和生物工程领域的接触和经验。该研究所符合VCU的总体目标。他们开发了一个新的五年制生物信息学硕士学位，有三个轨道：计算和工程，基因组学和生物学，定量和统计。新创建的工程学院专注于生物工程，并与VCU卫生系统的MCV医院相连。VCU生命科学为这些实体创建了一个保护伞，以加强两个领域的整合。更广泛的影响为了让没有必要的实验室经验的年轻人在他们心中唤起他们是科学项目的积极和有价值的成员的感觉，研究所将带领他们通过一系列高度集成的密集研究模拟，灵感来自每个主机实验室的实际问题。计算和数学方法等核心技能基础将有助于跨学科和研究领域整合研究所参与者的分析和方法技能。第一个夏天将为学生提供生物工程和生物信息学的观点，重点是研究所实验室解决的问题，第二个夏天将提供更广泛的领域。我建议为该提案提供四年总计660，602美元的资金。
