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，并维持重要的核心设施，建立国家开展生物医学研究的能力。该网络具有多样性，由两个主要任务是生物医学研究、教育和病人护理的牵头机构和12个协作机构组成。该网络包括俄克拉荷马州唯一的历史上黑人学院和大学，一个主要的本科院校，拥有全国任何大学中最多的美洲原住民，俄克拉荷马州唯一的部落学院，以及其他几个拥有大量来自代表性不足群体的学生的机构。俄克拉荷马州的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。这一专题重点与两个领先的生物医学研究密集型机构的战略研究计划密切相关。INBRE将支持这些学科的研究，主要由本科院校的六名研究人员和牵头机构的四名研究人员进行。通过INBRE提供研究支持的目标是增加这些研究人员开发独立研究项目的机会。每位参与研究的研究者将在INBRE资助开始后的18个月内开发新的NIH资助申请，以支持他们的研究项目。对学生的支持将通过暑期实习，参与教师的研究项目和在生物信息学和基因组学的新的教育计划招生提供。学生将参加在两个领导机构和自己的校园的研究活动。国际生物伦理研究所支持的主要核心设施将侧重于功能基因组学。专门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国际生物研究所得到支持。INBRE将支持开发一个新的核心设施，其核心是专门用于动物研究的功能性磁共振成像仪（MRI）。MRI可供所有参与INBRE的研究人员使用，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努力在生物医学研究方面具有全国竞争力的重要一步。
