SOUTH DAKOTA BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK

描述（由申请人提供）：PI是一名细胞生理学家USDSM， 一个博士研究生每四年，没有技术支持，50% 教学责任，没有其他人分享研究设备和想法 和你在一起因此，很难保持在切割 研究的边缘，没有强有力的机构支持的研究费用 对于那些时间之间的赠款，并在寻找富有成效的运气 合作。1998年，USDSM将其四个非常独立的基本 科学部门合并为基础生物医学科学部门。一 主要原因是为了促进跨学科研究的发展 合作。这个部门的组织有其意图， 美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）中心 2000年获得神经科学生物医学研究卓越奖（CBREAN）。 该应用程序旨在创建细胞生长控制领域的BRIN， 继续USDSM？努力发展具有国家竞争力的研究 重点领域的项目。SD-BRIN包括USDSM，奥古斯塔纳学院 （AUGC），黑山州立大学（BHSU）和西塞顿/瓦佩顿社区 学院（SWCC），一个小的部落学院。每个机构都有独特的使命 和学生人口。SD-BRIN的目标是发展研究 南达科他州在控制细胞生长方面的能力， 生物医学本科和研究生课程的人力资源 科学在南达科他州。这些目标将通过以下方式实现：1）改善 网络的生物信息学/电子通信能力 机构通过图书馆资源优化，增强宽带 传播、开发SD-BRIN网站和制作BRIN 网络现场教育赞助学习模块; 2）招聘 和职业发展的初级教师，研究生和 本科生研究人员，并创建蛋白质组学和功能 支持细胞生长领域研究的基因组学设施 控制SD-BRIN的长期目标是发展全州范围的网络 具有全国竞争力的独立调查人员共同研究 细胞生长控制。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The PI is a cell physiologist USDSM, with one Ph.D. graduate student every four years, no technical support, 50% teaching responsibility, and no one else to share research equipment and ideas with on a regular basis. Thus, it is very difficult to remain at the cutting edge of research, without strong institutional support of research expenses for those times in between grants, and some luck in finding fruitful collaborations. In 1998 USDSM combined its four very independent basic science departments into a single Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences. A major reason was to stimulate the development of interdisciplinary research collaborations. The organization of this division has had its intended effect, witness the awarding of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence Award in Neuroscience (CBREAN) in 2000. This application, to create a BRIN in the area of cellular growth control, continues the USDSM?s efforts to develop nationally competitive research programs in focused areas. The SD-BRIN includes the USDSM, Augustana College (AUGC), Black Hills State University (BHSU) and Sisseton/Wahpeton Community College (SWCC), a small tribal college. Each institution has a unique mission and student population. The goals of the SD-BRIN are to develop the research capacity of South Dakota in the area of control of cell growth, and to develop human resources for undergraduate and graduate programs in the biomedical sciences in South Dakota. These goals will be met by: 1) improving the bioinformatics/electronic communication capabilities of the network institutions through library resource enhancement, enhanced broadband communication, development of a SD-BRIN web site and production of BRIN sponsored learning modules for network on-site education; and 2) recruitment and career development of a critical mass of junior faculty, graduate and undergraduate student researchers, and creation of proteomics and functional genomics facilities to support research in the area of cellular growth control. The long-term SD-BRIN goal is the development of a statewide network of nationally competitive, independent investigators working together to study cellular growth control.
