VERMONT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK

这份对NCRR生物医学研究基础设施网络计划的申请描述了佛蒙特州遗传学网络，该网络是佛蒙特州大学(UVW)和四所学士学位学院合作建立的，目的是在该州广泛的遗传学领域建立关键的质量和基础设施；提高威斯康星大学和学士学位学校新的遗传学教员的竞争力；增加学士学位学院的本科生继续从事生物医学职业的人数；创建人际网络，通过新的电子通信对其进行支持，并使其可持续；在该州提供新的生物信息学能力；并增加生物医学科学家的多样性。为了实现这一目标，我们制定了12个具体目标和一套紧密相连的3个核心(管理、生物信息学和指导)。评估计划和规划阶段是这项申请的重要方面。佛蒙特州遗传学网络的概念和应用程序的开发过程是一个合议性的、包容性的过程，该网络建立在密歇根州立大学和该州现有的优秀领域之上，所采用的主题足够广泛，足以涵盖我们学士学位学院的教职员工和本科生。这些努力的最终目标将是通过发展资源丰富的网络来建立一个卓越的领域，并通过持久的基础设施和指导文化以及在联邦资金方面具有竞争力的教员来维持这个网络到未来。

This application to the Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network Program of the NCRR describes the Vermont Genetics Network, which is a collaboration among the University of Vermont (UVW) and four baccalaureate colleges to build critical mass and infrastructure in the broad area of genetics in the state; to increase the competitiveness of the new genetics faculty at UVM and the baccalaureate schools; to increase the number of undergraduates from the baccalaureate colleges who go on to biomedical careers; to create the human network, support it through new electronic communications, and make it sustainable; to provide a new bioinformatics capability in the state; and to increase the diversity of biomedical scientists. To accomplish this, we have developed 12 specific aims and a tightly interconnecting set of 3 cores (Administrative, Bioinformatics, and Mentoring). A plan for evaluation and a planning phase are important aspects of this application. There was a collegial, inclusive process to develop the concept and application for this Vermont Genetics Network, which builds upon an area of existing excellence at UVM and the State and employs a theme that is broad enough to encompass comfortably the faculty and undergraduates at our baccalaureate colleges. The ultimate goals of these efforts will be to build up an area of excellence through the development of a resource rich network, and to sustain this network into the future through a lasting infrastructure and culture of mentoring, and faculty who are competitive for federal funding.
