Center of Integrated Biomedical and Bioengineering Research (CIBBR)

解开基因、环境、行为和人类疾病之间的复杂相互作用需要 多学科视角和最先进的技术。认识到这一需求，纽约大学 汉普郡(UNH)实施了一项战略，以增加从事基础研究的教职员工数量 生物医学、生物工程和行为科学。在这些倡议的同时， 对研究核心设施的持续投资和对指导的承诺。在缺少 附属医学院，下一步是创建可持续的基础设施，以协调和整合 在整个UNH校园和区域合作伙伴中对这些早期生物医学教员进行研究。 该应用程序的目标是创建一个可持续发展的综合生物医学和 生物工程研究(CIBBR)将：(1)鼓励协作、跨学科互动 在UNH的生物医学和工程科学之间；(2)显著增加NIH资助的 授予UNH教职员工的研究项目补助金；(3)在井下提供最先进的仪器设备 托管的核心设施；以及(4)鼓励促进翻译机会的协作。 为了达到我们的目标，我们将追求以下具体目标： (一)创建全校生物医学研究卓越中心，提升 教职员工成功竞争生物医学和 工程科学。我们将通过以下方式实现这一目标：(A)建立一个领导小组和若干支助 CIBBR有效协调和监督生物医学和生物工程研究的委员会 UNH的项目；(B)实施三步职业发展方案，为早期阶段做准备 研究人员将成为NIH资助的研究人员；以及(C)引入对CIBBR的全面评估，如 以及支持UNH更多生物医学调查人员的机制，这些机制可能会确保NIH的资金。 (2)在现有的大学核心设施内购置最先进的仪器设备，并提供 研究培训计划，促进获得新技能、多学科视角和 未来临床合作和商业化的途径。为达致这个目标，我们会： (A)获得所需的由大学仪器中心管理的最先进的仪器设备 让调查人员有效地开展研究；(B)提供结构化方案，以获得新的 技术和领导技能，促进多学科协作，并增加翻译机会。 在UNH建立CIBBR将利用生物医学/ 在UNH的生物工程研究人员和基础设施，以创建可持续的科布雷在该机构。 这些成果将通过增加生物医学研究的能力，对生物医学研究产生持续影响 研究人员应用多学科方法来开发临床相关的诊断工具和治疗方法。

Untangling the complex interactions of genes, environment, behavior, and human diseases requires multidisciplinary perspectives and state-of-the-art technology. Recognizing this need, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has implemented a strategy to increase the number of faculty conducting research in basic biomedical science, bioengineering, and behavioral sciences. These initiatives have been accompanied by sustained investments in research core facilities and a commitment to mentoring. In the absence of an affiliated medical school, the next step is to create a sustainable infrastructure to coordinate and integrate the research of these early stage biomedical faculty across the UNH campus and with regional partners. The objective of this application is to create a sustainable Center of Integrated Biomedical and Bioengineering Research (CIBBR) that will: (1) encourage collaborative, cross-disciplinary interactions between the biomedical and engineering sciences at UNH; (2) significantly increase the number of NIH-funded research project grants that are awarded to UNH faculty; (3) provide state-of-the-art instrumentation in well- managed core facilities; and (4) encourage collaborations that advance translational opportunities. To achieve our objective, we will pursue the following specific aims: (1) Create an university-wide center for biomedical research excellence that will enhance the ability of faculty to successfully compete for research project grants across the spectrum of biomedical and engineering sciences. We will accomplish this by: (a) establishing a Leadership Team and several supporting committees for the CIBBR to effectively coordinate and supervise biomedical and bioengineering research projects at UNH; (b) implementing a three-step career development program that prepares early stage researchers to become NIH-funded investigators; and (c) introducing comprehensive evaluations of CIBBR, as well as mechanisms for supporting additional biomedical investigators at UNH likely to secure NIH funding. (2) Acquire state-of-the-art instrumentation within an established university core facility, and provide research training programs that foster acquisition of new skills, multidisciplinary perspectives, and pathways for future clinical collaborations and commercialization. To accomplish this objective, we will: (a) acquire state-of-the art instrumentation managed by the University Instrumentation Center that is required for investigators to productively carry out their research; (b) provide structured programs to acquire new technical and leadership skills, foster multidisciplinary collaborations, and increase translational opportunities. Establishing the CIBBR at UNH will capitalize on historic strategic investments in biomedical/ bioengineering research faculty and infrastructure at UNH to create a sustainable COBRE at this institution. These outcomes will have a sustained impact on biomedical research by increasing the capacity of researchers to apply multidisciplinary approaches to develop clinically relevant diagnostic tools and treatments.
