Center of Integrated Biomedical and Bioengineering Research (CIBBR)

要解开基因、环境、行为和人类疾病之间复杂的相互作用， 多学科视角和最先进的技术。认识到这一需求，新的大学 汉普郡（UNH）实施了一项战略，以增加教师进行基础研究的数量。 生物医学科学、生物工程和行为科学。这些举措伴随着 对研究核心设施的持续投资和对指导的承诺。在没有 附属医学院，下一步是建立一个可持续的基础设施，以协调和整合 这些早期阶段的生物医学教师在UNH校园和区域合作伙伴的研究。 该应用程序的目标是创建一个可持续的综合生物医学中心， 生物工程研究（CIBBR）将：（1）鼓励合作，跨学科的互动 生物医学和工程科学之间的UNH;（2）显着增加NIH资助的数量 授予UNH教师的研究项目赠款;（3）提供最先进的仪器， 管理核心设施;（4）鼓励合作，促进翻译机会。 为了实现我们的目标，我们将努力实现以下具体目标： (1)创建一个大学范围内的生物医学研究卓越中心，这将提高 教师成功地竞争整个生物医学领域的研究项目赠款， 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几个支持小组， CIBBR委员会有效协调和监督生物医学和生物工程研究 （B）实施一个三步职业发展方案， 研究人员成为NIH资助的研究人员;（c）引入CIBBR的全面评估， 以及支持UNH可能获得NIH资金的额外生物医学研究人员的机制。 (2)在已建立的大学核心设施内获得最先进的仪器，并提供 研究培训计划，促进获得新技能，多学科的观点， 未来临床合作和商业化的途径。为达致这个目标，我们会： (a)获得由大学仪器中心管理的最先进的仪器， 为调查人员进行富有成效的研究;（B）提供结构化的方案，以获得新的 技术和领导技能，促进多学科合作，并增加翻译机会。 在联合国总部建立CIBBR将利用生物医学/生物技术领域的历史性战略投资。 生物工程研究人员和基础设施在UNH创建一个可持续的COBRE在这个机构。 这些成果将通过提高生物医学研究的能力， 研究人员应用多学科方法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.
