DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oklahoma's IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) will build State capacity to carry out biomedical research by supporting promising new faculty, recruiting students into biomedical research careers, and sustaining vital core facilities. The Network is diverse, comprising two lead institutions whose primary missions are biomedical research, education and patient care and twelve collaborating institutions. The Network includes Oklahoma's only Historically Black College and University, a primarily undergraduate institution with the highest number of Native Americans of any college in the nation, Oklahoma's only tribal college, and several other institutions with large numbers of students from underrepresented groups. The scientific themes of Oklahoma's INBRE are multi-disciplinary, targeting the fields of Microbiology & Immunology, Cancer, and Neuroscience. This thematic focus is closely linked with the strategic research plans of the two lead biomedical research-intensive institutions. INBRE will support research in these disciplines by six investigators from primarily undergraduate institutions and four from the lead institutions. The goal of research support through INBRE will be enhancing the opportunity for these investigators to develop independent research programs. Each participating investigator will be expected to develop new NIH grant applications to support their research projects within 18 months of the commencement of the INBRE grant. Support for students will be provided by summer internships, participation in the faculty research projects and enrollment in new educational programs in bioinformatics and genomics. Students will participate in research activities at both the lead institutions and their own campuses. The primary core facilities to be supported by INBRE will be focused on functional genomics. An integrated network of bioinformatics facilities dedicated to supporting research in functional genomics will also be supported through INBRE. INBRE will support the development of a new core facility whose centerpiece will be a functional magnetic resonance imager (MRI) devoted exclusively to animal research. The MRI is available to all participating INBRE investigators and will support statewide research in cancer and neuroscience. Collectively, INBRE support for faculty research, students and core facilities will be a major step in Oklahoma's efforts to become nationally competitive in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：俄克拉荷马州的IDeA生物医学研究卓越网络（INBRE）将通过支持有前途的新教师，招募学生进入生物医学研究职业，以及维持重要的核心设施，建立国家开展生物医学研究的能力。该网络是多样化的，包括两个主要任务是生物医学研究、教育和病人护理的领导机构和12个合作机构。该网络包括俄克拉荷马州唯一一所历史上的黑人学院和大学，这是一所主要的本科机构，拥有全国所有大学中最多的印第安人，俄克拉荷马州唯一的部落学院，以及其他几所拥有大量来自代表性不足群体的学生的机构。俄克拉荷马州INBRE的科学主题是多学科的，针对微生物学和免疫学，癌症和神经科学领域。这一主题重点与两个主要生物医学研究密集型机构的战略研究计划密切相关。INBRE将支持来自主要本科院校的六名研究人员和来自主要院校的四名研究人员在这些学科中进行研究。通过INBRE提供研究支持的目标将是增加这些研究人员开发独立研究项目的机会。每位参与研究者将被要求在INBRE资助开始后的18个月内提出新的NIH资助申请，以支持他们的研究项目。为学生提供的支持包括暑期实习、参与学院研究项目以及生物信息学和基因组学方面的新教育项目。学生将在领导机构和自己的校园参与研究活动。INBRE支持的主要核心设施将侧重于功能基因组学。致力于支持功能基因组学研究的生物信息学设施综合网络也将通过INBRE得到支持。INBRE将支持开发一个新的核心设施，其核心将是专门用于动物研究的功能性磁共振成像仪（MRI）。所有参与INBRE的研究人员都可以使用MRI，并将支持全州范围内的癌症和神经科学研究。总的来说，INBRE对教师研究、学生和核心设施的支持将是俄克拉荷马州在生物医学研究方面成为具有全国竞争力的努力的重要一步。
