DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Louisville, in collaboration with the University of Kentucky, will lead the development of the Kentucky Infrastructure for Biomedical Research excellence (KY-INBRE). The goal of this KY-INBRE proposal is to build on the successes of the existing KY-BRIN, its infrastructure and its network of biomedical researchers, to increase the capacity for research in Kentucky. The plan is to build a research core that will provide 11 researchers with the necessary support to become competitive for independent federal funding within 5 years. The research core will consist of 10 researchers in the 4 public comprehensive universities, Northern Kentucky University, Western Kentucky University, Eastern Kentucky University and Morehead State University, one junior researcher at the University of Louisville, and will include the recruitment of a neuroscience faculty member to Western Kentucky University. This core will initially contain a portfolio of 7 genomics and 4 neuroscience research projects. The research core will be supported through further development of the centralized genomics and bioinformatics facilities at the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky. These facilities contain open access tools and resources that are critical to the success of Kentucky research institutions as a whole in their pursuit of research excellence. A steering committee will guide the development of the KY-INBRE, faculty mentors will guide the career development goals of the PIs, and an external advisory committee of experts will provide critique of the INBRE-progress. An outreach core will provide opportunities in summer research for undergraduate students in the 13 affiliated institutions of the KY-BRIN. This core will continue to develop the pipeline from undergraduate institutions to the graduate level programs in biomedical research, and it will complement the activities of the research core, where students will become engaged in research, its excitement, its challenges and its rewarding career opportunities.

描述（由申请人提供）：路易斯维尔大学将与肯塔基大学合作，领导肯塔基州生物医学研究卓越基础设施（key - inbre）的发展。这项key - inbre提案的目标是在现有的key - brin、其基础设施和生物医学研究人员网络的成功基础上，提高肯塔基州的研究能力。该计划旨在建立一个研究中心，为11名研究人员提供必要的支持，使他们在5年内有竞争力获得独立的联邦资助。研究核心将包括来自北肯塔基大学、西肯塔基大学、东肯塔基大学和莫尔黑德州立大学4所公立综合性大学的10名研究人员，路易斯维尔大学的一名初级研究人员，并将包括为西肯塔基大学招聘一名神经科学教员。该核心最初将包含7个基因组学和4个神经科学研究项目。研究中心将通过路易斯维尔大学和肯塔基大学的集中基因组学和生物信息学设施的进一步发展得到支持。这些设施包含开放获取工具和资源，这些工具和资源对于肯塔基州研究机构整体追求卓越研究的成功至关重要。指导委员会将指导key - inbre的发展，教师导师将指导pi的职业发展目标，外部专家咨询委员会将对inbre的进展进行批评。外展核心将为key - brin的13个附属机构的本科生提供暑期研究机会。这个核心将继续发展从本科机构到生物医学研究研究生水平课程的管道，它将补充研究核心的活动，学生将参与研究，它的兴奋，挑战和有益的职业机会。
