VERMONT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK

该应用程序向NCRR的生物医学研究基础设施网络计划描述了佛蒙特州遗传学网络，这是佛蒙特大学（UVW）和四所本科学院之间的合作，旨在在该州广泛的遗传学领域建立临界质量和基础设施；提高弗吉尼亚大学和本科学院的新遗传学教师的竞争力；增加本科院校本科生从事生物医学职业的人数；创建人际网络，通过新的电子通信支持它，并使其可持续发展；为国家提供新的生物信息学能力；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个具体目标和紧密相连的3个核心（管理、生物信息学和指导）。评估计划和计划阶段是该应用程序的重要方面。佛蒙特州遗传学网络的概念和应用是建立在弗吉尼亚大学和该州现有优秀领域的基础上的，它采用了一个足够广泛的主题，可以舒适地涵盖我们学士学院的教师和本科生。这些努力的最终目标将是通过发展一个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，以及对联邦资金有竞争力的教师来维持这个网络的未来。

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.
