MT INBRE RESEARCH CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这一核心的具体目标是指导和发展越来越多的传染病、环境健康和健康差距调查人员，主要是本科院校(PUI)、部落学院和该州的两所研究型大学，以维持和发展更具生产力和竞争力的生物医学研究网络。核心重点是通过多学科指导小组和项目年度评估对项目负责人和调查人员进行认真的指导。评价过程涉及外部咨询委员会、科学咨询委员会和核心主任。学员接受对其工作的反馈和讨论，帮助他们完善来年的研究计划和里程碑，探索可能的赠款和出版机会，以及潜在的合作和顾问。 传染病和环境健康领域的33个研究项目，包括8个社会和行为科学项目，3个关于健康差距的探索性研究研究，以及通过行政补充，2个关于土著社区的CBPR项目(都在行政核心报告中注明)和5个CBPR和健康差异核心项目，得到了MTINBRE的支持。项目位于该州的五所学士学位学院、所有七所部落学院、蒙大拿大学(密苏拉)和密歇根州立大学。 研究核心集中在其中的15个项目上。这一核心的项目负责人正在继续他们成熟的研究项目进入INBRE II，更加重视获得额外的外部资金来维持他们的研究计划、出版物，总体上，他们的研究和职业生涯都进入了一个新的水平。七名新的初级研究人员，汤姆·刘易斯博士(密歇根州立大学比林斯分校)、迈克尔·吉尔伯特博士(密歇根州立大学西部分校)、格兰特·霍基特博士(卡罗尔学院)、布莱恩·斯蒂夫博士(首席呆刀学院)、涅瓦·塔尔贝尔博士(小大角学院)、威廉·贝尔博士(贝尔纳普堡学院)和罗杰·迪尔茨博士(萨利什·库特奈学院)作为研究核心项目负责人加入网络。该中心的六个项目侧重于生物医学科学方面的教育推广和培养学生渠道。所有网络研究人员都可以使用密歇根州立大学博兹曼分校和密苏拉州立大学的共享设施、设备和培训。长期目标是让这些研究人员在他们自己的NIH资金方面具有竞争力。 除了这些研究项目外，两个研究小组继续蓬勃发展，并为项目负责人提供培训、合作和研究支持的有形机制：大天空酵母小组和生物信息用户小组(在生物信息学和基因组学核心中)。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Specific Aim of this core is to mentor and develop the growing number of infectious disease, environmental health, and health disparities investigators at principally undergraduate institutions (PUIs), tribal colleges, and the state's two research universities to sustain and grow an even more productive and competitive biomedical research network. The Core focuses on careful mentoring of Project Leaders and investigators through multidisciplinary mentoring teams and annual evaluation of projects. The evaluation process involves the External Advisory Committee, the Scientific Advisory Board, and Core Directors. Mentees receive feedback and discussion of their work, helping them to refine their research plan and milestones for the coming year and explore possible grant and publication opportunities, as well as potential collaborations and consultants. Thirty-three research projects in the areas of infectious disease and environmental health, including 8 social and behavioral science projects, three exploratory research studies on health disparities, and, through an administrative supplement, 2 CBPR projects with Native communities (all noted in the Administrative Core Report) and 5 projects in the CBPR and Health Disparities Core are supported by MT INBRE. Projects are located at five of the state's baccalaureate colleges, all seven Tribal Colleges, the University of Montana (Missoula), and MSU. The Research Core focuses on 15 of these projects. Project Leaders from this Core are continuing their well-established research projects into INBRE II, with increased emphasis on securing additional extramural funding to sustain their research programs, publications, and moving, overall, to the next level in both their research and careers. Seven new junior investigators, Dr. Tom Lewis (MSU-Billings), Dr. Michael Gilbert (UM-Western), Dr. Grant Hokit (Carroll College), Brian Stiff (Chief Dull Knife College), Neva TallBear (Little Big Horn College), William Bell (Fort Belknap College), and Dr. Roger Dilts (Salish Kootenai College) join the network as Project Leaders in the Research Core. Six of the Core's projects focus on educational outreach and developing the student pipeline in the biomedical sciences. All network researchers have access to shared facilities, equipment, and training at MSU-Bozeman and UM-Missoula. The long-term goal is to position these investigators to be competitive for their own NIH funding. In addition to these research projects, two research sub-groups continue to flourish and provide visible mechanisms for providing training, collaborations, and research support for the Project Leaders: the Big Sky Yeast Group and the Bioinformatics Users Group (in the Bioinformatics and Genomics Core).
