DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) proposes here the creation of the Puerto Rico Alliance for the Advancement of Biomedical Research Excellence (PRAABRE). This proposal is in response to and compliant with RFA number RR-03-010 that invited applications for IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence. This is a competitive renewal application for our previous grant number P20 RR-16470 that created the BRIN-PR network. The main goals of the Puerto Rico Alliance for Biomedical Research Excellence (PRAABRE) proposal are: 1) to enhance and strengthen the scientific infrastructure and research competitiveness of the Commonwealth in three specific research areas deemed to be key to advance Puerto Rico's biomedical and behavioral research capacity; 2) to elevate the productivity, competitiveness, and number of human resources needed to attract established investigators in those research areas; and 3) to promote the development of research skills of talented junior investigators and gifted students. The scientific areas to be enhanced and strengthen were selected by the PRAABRE Steering Committee after consensus of all participating institutions, and these are Neuroscience, Drug Design and Delivery, and Molecular Medicine. These goals will be achieved by creating and establishing (a) an Administrative Core, (b) a Bioinformatics Core, (c) a Research Core, and (d) an Outreach Core on three thematic scientific areas. The Administrative Core will provide administrative and logistical support to the research networks. The Bioinformatics Core, housed at the High Performance Computing facility (HPCf) of UPR, will provide access to technical expertise and data analysis tools for the researchers within the three thematic research clusters. The Research Core of PRAABRE will support three initiatives: the DNA Sequencing and Multilocus Genotyping Facility, the UPR-Proteomics Facility, and the Access to Biomedical Electronic Scientific lnformatics (ABESI) project. The Outreach Core will create programs for support of junior researchers and students (graduate and undergraduate) as well as other Professional Development opportunities to investigators within the Researcher Clusters (Neuroscience, Molecular Medicine and Drug Design and Development), and an immersive research experience program for high school teachers and students. Finally, PRAABRE will host 11 research subprojects in five primarily undergraduate institutions in Puerto Rico.

描述（由申请人提供）：波多黎各大学 (UPR) 在此提议创建波多黎各生物医学卓越研究联盟 (PRAABRE)。该提案是为了响应并遵守 RFA 编号 RR-03-010，该 RFA 邀请 IDeA 生物医学研究卓越网络申请。这是我们之前创建 BRIN-PR 网络的授权编号 P20 RR-16470 的竞争性续订申请。波多黎各生物医学卓越研究联盟（PRAABRE）提案的主要目标是： 1）增强和加强联邦在三个特定研究领域的科学基础设施和研究竞争力，这三个领域被认为是提高波多黎各生物医学和行为研究能力的关键； 2) 提高生产力、竞争力和人力资源数量，以吸引这些研究领域的知名研究者； 3）促进有才华的初级研究人员和天才学生的研究技能的发展。 PRAABRE指导委员会在所有参与机构一致同意后选择了需要加强和加强的科学领域，这些领域是神经科学、药物设计和递送以及分子医学。这些目标将通过在三个专题科学领域创建和建立 (a) 行政核心、(b) 生物信息学核心、(c) 研究核心和 (d) 外展核心来实现。行政核心将为研究网络提供行政和后勤支持。生物信息学核心位于 UPR 的高性能计算设施 (HPCf) 内，将为三个专题研究集群内的研究人员提供技术专业知识和数据分析工具。 PRAABRE 的研究核心将支持三项计划：DNA 测序和多位点基因分型设施、UPR 蛋白质组学设施以及生物医学电子科学信息学 (ABESI) 项目。外展核心将创建支持初级研究人员和学生（研究生和本科生）的项目，以及为研究人员集群（神经科学、分子医学和药物设计与开发）内的研究人员提供其他专业发展机会，以及为高中教师和学生提供沉浸式研究体验项目。最后，PRAABRE 将在波多黎各的 5 个主要本科院校举办 11 个研究子项目。
