DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of North Dakota INBRE is to build biomedical research capacity by serving research universities, baccalaureate institutions, and tribal colleges within the state. The specific aims are to: 1) initiate competitive, sustainable research programs at six predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs); 2) increase the number of students from PUIs who choose to pursue advanced training in the biomedical sciences; 3) increase the number of students from tribal colleges who matriculate into baccalaureate degree programs in the sciences; 4) enhance the state's access to computational and electronic resources supporting biomedical research; and 5) enhance existing proteomics and biology core facilities at the research universities to make them sustainable and effective training and service centers for the scientific network. The centerpiece of this plan is the development research programs at PUIs, built around the thematic focus of "Health and the Environment". This broad theme is subdivided into three sub-themes: 1) pesticides and non-mammalian biomarkers; 2) nutrition, growth and development; and 3) genetic factors. Nine individual investigators, located at six PUIs, will be mentored by established biomedical scientists from the University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University. Proteomics and biology core facilities at the research universities will provide specialized services and training for PUI students and investigators. A bioinformatics core will provide computational facilities and work to increase state-wide access to electronic resources for biomedical research. Recruitment of students will be primarily through their involvement in the research projects of INBRE investigators on their home campuses. The scientific network will also offer research opportunities to students from neighboring tribal colleges. An Outreach Core is designed to empower tribal colleges to strengthen their introductory science curricula so as to increase the level of preparation of tribal college students for transitioning to four-year science programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：北达科他州 INBRE 的目标是通过为州内的研究型大学、学士学位机构和部落学院提供服务来建设生物医学研究能力。具体目标是： 1) 在六个以本科为主的机构 (PUI) 启动有竞争力的、可持续的研究项目； 2) 增加 PUI 中选择接受生物医学科学高级培训的学生数量； 3) 增加部落学院入读科学学士学位课程的学生人数； 4) 增强国家获得支持生物医学研究的计算和​​电子资源的能力； 5) 加强研究型大学现有的蛋白质组学和生物学核心设施，使其成为可持续、有效的科学网络培训和服务中心。该计划的核心是 PUI 的发展研究项目，围绕“健康与环境”的主题重点。这个广泛的主题分为三个子主题：1）农药和非哺乳动物生物标志物； 2）营养、生长发育； 3）遗传因素。分布在 6 个 PUI 的 9 名个人研究人员将接受来自北达科他大学和北达科他州立大学的知名生物医学科学家的指导。蛋白质组学和生物学核心设施 研究型大学将为 PUI 学生和研究人员提供专业服务和培训。生物信息学核心将提供计算设施并致力于增加全州范围内生物医学研究电子资源的获取。学生的招募将主要通过参与 INBRE 研究人员在其所在校园的研究项目来进行。该科学网络还将为邻近部落学院的学生提供研究机会。外展核心旨在使部落学院能够加强其入门科学课程，从而提高部落大学生过渡到四年制科学课程的准备水平。
