The Vermont IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) is the Vermont Genetics Network (VGN). We build biomedical research capacity throughout the state by promoting faculty and Student research at our Baccalaureate Partner Institutions (BPIs) with research awards and renovations; reaching out to BPIs and other colleges with delivery of curriculum modules for students to have hands-on opportunities to carry out realistic research protocols and use VGN's facilities; developing Microarray and Proteomics facilities that serve the entire network; providing Bioinformatics services; supporting new faculty and graduate students at the University of Vermont (UVM). Our assessments show our faculty at both BPIs and UVM are publishing, applying for extramural funding and becoming competitive for this funding. Our facilities support the entire network. We use the theme of Genetics because it allows for inclusion of many kinds of biomedical research at UVM and BPIs and promotes a broad network. VGN has four current specific aims: 1. Build a Culture of Research at the BPIs; 2. Establish an Outreach Core for institutions outside our network; 3. Strengthen the Research Capacity and Critical Mass of Genetics Biomedical Researchers at UVM; 4. Assess the progress through longitudinal studies. Over four years, we have made substantial progress toward all of these aims. VGN has become a leader in promoting research resources and building consortia among the Bioinformatics Cores. VGN has changed the attitude in colleges toward UVM that now is considered a welcoming place for college faculty and student research. In this application for renewal of funding for VGN, we have five Specific Aims: 1. Expand the network to include more BPIs and develop cultures of research at these new and current BPIs. 2. Expand education outreach to more colleges, including the Community College of Vermont (CCV). 3. Focus research capacity building for the state and region on Proteomics and provide state-of-the-art Microarray services. This includes the provision of Bioinformatics services that are critical for the Proteomics and Microarray facilities. 4. Expand our regional and national efforts to share research resources. 5. Assess the progress of VGN through a new set of evaluation tools. New proposed aspects of our application include an expanded workforce development effort through an expanded network of BPIs and inclusion of CCV in our outreach program. We will increase our emphasis on facilities and services in Proteomics, Microarray and Bioinformatics and promote regional and national sharing of research resources. A Logic Model and Output Time line for assessment will be important additions to our evaluation plan.

佛蒙特州IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络(INBRE)是佛蒙特州遗传学网络(VGN)。我们通过以下方式在全州建设生物医学研究能力：通过颁发研究奖项和创新促进我们的文凭合作院校(BPI)的教职员工和学生的研究；与BPIs和其他学院接触，提供课程模块，让学生有实践机会进行现实的研究方案和使用VGN的设施；开发服务于整个网络的微阵列和蛋白质组学设施；提供生物信息学服务；支持佛蒙特州大学(UVM)的新教职员工和研究生。我们的评估显示，我们在BPI和UVM的教职员工都在发表论文，申请校外资金，并在这种资金上变得有竞争力。我们的设施支持整个网络。我们使用遗传学的主题是因为它允许将UVM和BPI的多种生物医学研究纳入其中，并促进广泛的网络。VGN目前有四个具体目标：1.在BPIS建立研究文化；2.为我们网络之外的机构建立一个外联核心；3.加强弗吉尼亚大学遗传学生物医学研究人员的研究能力和临界质量；4.通过纵向研究评估进展情况。四年来，我们在实现所有这些目标方面取得了实质性进展。VGN已经成为促进研究资源和在生物信息学核心之间建立联盟的领导者。VGN已经改变了大学对UVM的态度，现在被认为是一个欢迎大学教职员工和学生研究的地方。 在为VGN续期资金的申请中，我们有五个具体目标：1.扩大网络，以包括更多的BPI，并在这些新的和现有的BPI上发展研究文化。2.将教育扩展到更多的大学，包括佛蒙特州社区学院(CCV)。3.将国家和地区的研究能力建设集中在蛋白质组学上，并提供最先进的微阵列服务。这包括提供对蛋白质组学和微阵列设施至关重要的生物信息学服务。4.扩大地区和国家共享研究资源的努力。5.通过一套新的评价工具评估VGN的进展情况。我们申请的新提议方面包括通过扩大BPI网络来扩大劳动力发展努力，以及将CCV纳入我们的外展计划。我们将更加重视蛋白质组学、微阵列和生物信息学的设施和服务，促进区域和国家研究资源共享。评估的逻辑模型和输出时间线将是我们评估计划的重要补充。
