This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. 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. This aim is articulated in the overall goals of the Administrative Core and overlaps with and enhances the aims of both the CBPR and Bioinformatics Cores in its focus not only on research but also on mentoring junior faculty as well as students. Through multidisciplinary mentoring teams and annual project evaluation by the PI, Council, Core Directors, and EAC, the Research Core offers investigators feedback and discussion of their work, help in refining their research plan and milestones for the coming year, and guidance about possible grant and publication opportunities, as well as potential collaborations. Investigators receive one-on-one attention from the PI and other mentoring faculty, whose primary goal is to help position junior investigators for success in their fields and in securing funding for their research efforts. In keeping with the Administrative Core's focus on expanding health disparities research by incorporating research in the social and behavioral health sciences, particular attention is given to identifying and carefully mentoring this young new cohort of investigators. Thirty-one research projects in the areas of infectious disease and environmental health, including 7 social and behavioral health sciences projects, three exploratory research studies on health disparities, 8 projects in the CBPR and Health Disparities Core, and, through an administrative supplement, 2 CBPR projects with Native communities 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. Twelve of these 31 projects are the focus of the Research Core. Most of these Project Leaders have well-established research projects (some funded through BRIN and INBRE I) and are working toward securing additional extramural funding to sustain their research programs. Many of them have published their research and been successful in obtaining additional grant funding. Those with more research experience are positioned to serve as excellent mentors for up and coming junior investigators not only at their institutions but across the network. One Project Leader graduated from the INBRE program two years ago, and four are currently in the process of graduating. Four new junior investigators, Dr. Tom Lewis (MSU-Billings), Dr. Michael Gilbert (UM-Western), Dr. Grant Hokit (Carroll College), and Dr. Roger Dilts (Salish Kootenai College) are in their second year of funding. 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 through the Bioinformatics Core and the mentoring team. 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 Mycology Group and the Bioinformatics Users Group (in the Bioinformatics and Genomics Core).

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 该核心的具体目标是指导和发展越来越多的传染病，环境健康和健康差异调查人员，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。 这一目标在行政核心的总体目标中得到了阐述，并与CBPR和生物信息学核心的目标重叠，并加强了CBPR和生物信息学核心的目标，其重点不仅在于研究，而且还在于指导初级教师和学生。 通过PI，理事会，核心董事和EAC的多学科指导团队和年度项目评估，研究核心为研究人员提供反馈和讨论他们的工作，帮助他们改进来年的研究计划和里程碑，并指导可能的赠款和出版机会，以及潜在的合作。 研究人员从PI和其他指导教师，其主要目标是帮助定位初级研究人员在他们的领域取得成功，并在确保他们的研究工作的资金一对一的关注。 在保持与行政核心的重点扩大健康差距的研究纳入社会和行为健康科学的研究，特别注意识别和仔细指导这一年轻的新的队列的调查。 在传染病和环境卫生领域的31个研究项目，包括7个社会和行为健康科学项目，3个关于健康差异的探索性研究，8个CBPR和健康差异核心项目，以及通过行政补充，2个与土著社区的CBPR项目得到MT INBRE的支持。 项目位于该州的五个学士学位学院，所有七个部落学院，蒙大拿大学（密苏拉）和密歇根州立大学。 这31个项目中有12个是研究核心的重点。 这些项目负责人中的大多数都有完善的研究项目（有些是通过BRIN和INBRE I资助的），并正在努力获得额外的校外资金来维持他们的研究计划。 他们中的许多人已经发表了他们的研究，并成功地获得了额外的赠款资金。 那些有更多研究经验的人不仅可以在他们的机构，而且可以在整个网络中担任即将到来的初级研究人员的优秀导师。一名项目负责人两年前从INBRE项目毕业，四名目前正在毕业过程中。 四名新的初级研究人员，汤姆刘易斯博士（MSU比林斯），迈克尔吉尔伯特博士（UM西部），格兰特Hokit博士（卡罗尔学院）和罗杰迪茨博士（萨利希库特奈学院）是在他们的第二年的资金。 核心的六个项目侧重于教育推广和发展生物医学科学的学生管道。 所有网络研究人员都可以通过生物信息学核心和指导团队获得MSU-Bozeman和UM-Missoula的共享设施，设备和培训。 长期目标是使这些研究人员在获得NIH资助方面具有竞争力。 除了这些研究项目，两个研究小组继续蓬勃发展，并为项目负责人提供培训，合作和研究支持提供可见的机制：大天空真菌学组和生物信息学用户组（在生物信息学和基因组学核心）。
