New Hampshire IDeA Network of Biological Research Excellence (NH-INBRE)

拟议的新汉普郡IDEA生物研究卓越网络(NH-INBRE)将旨在1)增加合作机构的学生和教职员工参与原创科学研究的机会；2)扩大领导和合作机构正在进行的研究和研究能力的基础，并支持相关的研究文化；3)增加从合作机构毕业的学生在研究生教育或就业中继续从事生物医学研究的频率；4)加强NH工作人员的科学和技术培训；5)加强现代生物医学研究所需的生物信息学基础设施。 拟议的牵头机构是达特茅斯医学院，它将容纳NH-INBRE行政核心和达勒姆的新汉普郡大学。拟议的伙伴机构包括新汉普郡的6所四年制本科院校和2所两年制社区学院。NH-INBRE的主题将是细胞和分子生物学、微生物学和环境毒理学以及行为科学。NH-INBRE将由一个由有成就的教员组成的团队指导，他们都是活跃的、由联邦政府资助的研究实验室的负责人。该小组将由首席调查员罗纳德·K·泰勒博士领导。与将整个行政职能交给首席调查员和计划协调员不同，这一团队概念将作为一个单位发挥作用，其组成部分能够同时工作，以有效地建立、指导和评估NH-INBRE计划的进展和目标。在本提案的准备过程中，这一小组方法发挥了有效作用。建议使用多种度量标准对NH-INBRE进行持续实时评估和改进。NH-INBRE计划是围绕以下相关理念组织的，即原创科学研究是大学生科学培训的重要组成部分，而扩大我们提议的合作机构的学生在其校园内参与原创科学研究对于在新罕布夏州的高等教育机构和整个州内灌输生物医学研究文化至关重要。

The proposed New Hampshire IDeA Network of Biological Research Excellence (NH-INBRE) will be designed to 1) increase opportunities for students and faculty at Partner institutions to participate in original scientific research; 2) expand the base of ongoing research and research capacity at the Lead and Partner institutions and support the associated research cultures; 3) increase the frequency at which students who graduate from Partner institutions continue doing biomedical research in graduate education or employment; 4) enhance the science and technology training of the NH workforce; 5) enhance the bioinformatics Infrastructure that is required for modern biomedical research. The proposed lead institutions are Dartmouth Medical School, which will house the NH-INBRE administrative core and the University of New Hampshire, Durham. The proposed Partner institutions Include 6 four-year primarily undergraduate Institutions and 2 two-year community colleges within New Hampshire. The themes of the NH-INBRE will be cellular and molecular biology, microbiology and environmental toxicology, and behavioral science. NH-INBRE will be directed by a team of accomplished faculty, all of whom direct active, federally funded research laboratories themselves. This team will be led by Principal Investigator Dr. Ronald K. Taylor. This team concept, as opposed to placing the entire administrative functions in the hands of only the Principal Investigator and Program Coordinator, will function as a unit with its components able to work simultaneously to efficiently establish, direct, and evaluate the progress and goals of the NH-INBRE program. This team approach functioned efficiently during the preparation of this proposal. A wide variety of metrics is proposed to be utilized for continual real-time evaluation and improvement of the NH-INBRE. The NH-INBRE plan Is organized around the related ideas that original scientific research is a vital part of scientific training for college students, and expanding the participation of students at our proposed Partner institutions in original scientific research on their campuses Is essential for instilling a culture of biomedical research within New Hampshire's Institutions of higher education and the state overall.
