METAL ANALYSIS CORE

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 ND作为一个大的土地质量，低人口农业国家，土壤极其肥沃，含有高自然发生的重金属浓度的独特方面，使其成为一个合乎逻辑的设置，率先发展金属组学和离子组学。 离子组学和金属组学也是ND INBRE的包容性和发展引人注目，因为大多数本科生的研究工作都集中在重金属和环境的作用。 PI和研究密集型大学（RIU）的其他主要研究人员的研究补充了这一点，这些研究也侧重于重金属及其在环境中的作用以及作为人类疾病的病原体。 这些原因促使ND INBRE开发和支持金属分析核心设施（MAC），以支持该州和地区内的金属组学和离子组学的发展。 该核心的具体目标是：（1）为北达科他州内所有参与机构的ND INBRE合作伙伴和教师提供金属分析能力;（2）为ND INBRE合作伙伴和ND所有参与机构的教师提供金属组学和离子组学方面的技术和专业知识;（3）发展和建立一个金属组学和离子组学教育网络，为研究生、研究生和本科生提供服务，组成ND INBRE网络;以及，（4）与北达科他州卫生部内的部门建立专业和技术关系，因为金属学和离子学适用于北达科他州的空气、水和土壤的环境质量。

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 unique aspects of ND as a large land mass, low population agricultural state with extremely fertile soils containing high naturally occurring concentrations of heavy metals, renders it a logical setting to spearhead the development of metalomics and ionomics. Ionomics and metalomics are also compelling for inclusion and development in the ND INBRE because the majority of the undergraduate research efforts are focused on the role of heavy metals and the environment. This is complemented by the research of the PI and other lead investigators at the research intensive universities (RIU) that also focus on heavy metals and their role in the environment and as causative agents in human disease. These reasons have motivated the ND INBRE to develop and support a Metal Analysis Core facility (MAC) to support the development of metalomics and ionomics within the state and region. The specific aims of this core are: (1) To provide analytic capability in metal analysis to the ND INBRE partners and faculty in all participating institutions within North Dakota; (2) To provide technical and professional expertise in metalomics and ionomics to the ND INBRE partners and faculty in all participating institutions of ND; (3) To develop and establish an educational network in metalomics and ionomics to serve the post-graduate, graduate and undergraduate students comprising the ND INBRE network; and, (4) To develop professional and technical relationships with divisions within the North Dakota Department of Health as metalomics and ionomics applies to the environmental quality of the air, water and soil in ND.
