DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Idaho BRIN Program has had a profound effect on biomedical research at every level and in all regions of the state. In the brief eighteen month period since the BRIN Program was implemented in Idaho, a network of research core facilities now enables researchers from all parts of the state to have access to state-of-the-art technology. This has fostered new inter-disciplinary research collaborations between faculty at the University of Idaho, Idaho State University, and Boise State University. Such inter-institutional collaborations are unprecedented in the history of Idaho, and have allowed us to focus on a single statewide theme for biomedical research, Cell Signaling. Bioinformatics, a research tool used sparsely prior to BRIN, is now applied extensively as a result of new facilities, targeted training sessions and undergraduate and graduate level courses. BRIN has enabled us to assemble an educational pipeline, beginning at K-12 levels, and continuing through college and graduate schools, while offering progressively greater research experiences at each level. The INBRE Program would allow us to build on these successes, and extend the Network to undergraduate colleges and institutions throughout the state. The INBRE Program will continue the three cores established under BRIN: Administrative, Bioinformatics, Research, plus add a fourth Outreach Core. These cores will support five fundamental goals: 1) To continue to build an interdisciplinary research network under the theme of Cell Signaling; 2) To support a Network of Research Partners consisting of colleges with developing research missions; 3) To expand the Outreach Core and enhance science education and training at undergraduate colleges; and 5) To create an educated workforce that will sustain a developing biomedical industry in Idaho. All network universities, colleges, and institutions recognize the BRIN and INBRE Programs as a unique opportunity to build Idaho's research infrastructure so that our faculty can become more competitive for NIH awards. But our approach is designed to build a lasting change in the biomedical research culture in Idaho, reaching to the next generation of researchers and to the public. We anticipate that by the end of the INBRE Program the fundamental changes being made in Idaho's biomedical research enterprise will be sustainable, so that support from infrastructure programs such as INBRE will no longer be necessary.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱达荷州BRIN计划对该州各个层次和所有地区的生物医学研究产生了深远的影响。自BRIN计划在爱达荷州实施以来的短短18个月内，一个研究核心设施网络使该州各地的研究人员能够获得最先进的技术。这促进了爱达荷州大学、爱达荷州州立大学和博伊西州立大学教师之间新的跨学科研究合作。这种机构间的合作在爱达荷州的历史上是前所未有的，并使我们能够专注于一个单一的全州主题的生物医学研究，细胞信号。生物信息学是BRIN之前很少使用的研究工具，由于新设施、有针对性的培训课程以及本科生和研究生课程，现在得到广泛应用。BRIN使我们能够组装一个教育管道，从K-12水平开始，并继续通过大学和研究生院，同时在每个级别提供逐步更大的研究经验。 INBRE计划将使我们能够在这些成功的基础上再接再厉，并将网络扩展到全州的本科院校和机构。INBRE计划将继续BRIN下建立的三个核心：行政，生物信息学，研究，再加上第四个外展核心。这些核心将支持五个基本目标：1）继续建立以细胞信号为主题的跨学科研究网络; 2）支持由具有发展研究任务的学院组成的研究伙伴网络; 3）扩大外展核心，加强本科院校的科学教育和培训;以及5）创造一支受过教育的劳动力队伍，以维持爱达荷州发展中的生物医学产业。所有的网络大学，学院和机构承认BRIN和INBRE计划作为一个独特的机会，建立爱达荷州的研究基础设施，使我们的教师可以成为更有竞争力的NIH奖项。但我们的方法旨在建立一个持久的变化，在生物医学研究文化在爱达荷州，达到下一代的研究人员和公众。我们预计，到INBRE计划结束时，爱达荷州生物医学研究企业正在进行的根本性变革将是可持续的，因此不再需要INBRE等基础设施计划的支持。
