Mississippi Functional Genomics Network

密西西比IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（MS-INBRE）项目通过在我们的合作伙伴本科院校（PUl）建立八个研究实验室，获得核心研究和生物信息学设施，granonian培训和200多个动手的学生研究实习，大大增强了该州的生物医学研究和培训。我们将继续加强国家的研究能力，并通过将我们的网络扩大到六个PUI来培训下一代科学家：奥尔康州立大学，米尔萨普斯学院，密西西比学院，密西西比女子大学，密西西比河谷州立大学和图格鲁学院。我们将支持和指导九个有前途的教师研究人员在这些合作机构从事基础研究的重点领域之一，特别关注密西西比：心血管疾病，癌症或传染病。这些疾病是密西西比死亡和残疾的主要原因，也是该州人口健康差距的主要问题。专门的导师将与每个PUI研究人员密切互动，以促进他们独立研究的发展。在一项重大的新举措中，生物信息学核心将扩大到包括所有博士机构的教师。我们将提高基因组学核心设施和成像核心设施的能力，供PUI和密西西比的其他研究人员使用。将增加两个额外的核心设施：蛋白质组学核心和分析核心。此外，我们亦会举办有关基因工程、生物信息学、科学出版物/报告等的专业发展工作坊，以及在伙伴院校举办杰出科学家研讨会系列。外联核心将专注于扩大非常成功的本科生研究经验机会暑期实习计划，并协助网络中的8个外联机构。外展工作包括补助金和外展小额赠款，这将提供小型设备种子赠款和专业发展讲习班/会议等的旅行资金。MS-INBRE科学网络，指导，培训和外展将加强今天的生物医学研究，并在我们培养学生谁将成为未来的研究人员和政策制定者时，深入到下一代。

The Mississippi IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (MS-INBRE) project has significantly enhanced biomedical research and training in the State via the establishment of eight research laboratories at our partner undergraduate institutions (PUl), access to core research and bioinformatics facilities, grantsmanship training and over 200 hands-on student research internships. We will continue to strengthen the research capacity of the State and train the future generation of scientists via expanding our Network to six PUI: Alcorn State University, Millsaps College, Mississippi College, Mississippi University for Women, Mississippi Valley State University and Tougaloo College. We will support and mentor nine promising faculty researchers at these partner institutions engaged in basic research in one of the focus areas of particular concern to Mississippi: Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer or Infectious Disease. These diseases are major causes of death and disability in Mississippi and of particular concern for health disparities populations in the State. Dedicated mentors will interact closely with each PUI researcher to facilitate the development of their independent research. In a major new initiative, the Bioinformatics Core will be expanded to include faculty from all doctoral institutions. We will enhance the capabilities of the Genomics Core Facility and Imaging Core Facility for the use of PUI and other researchers in Mississippi. Two additional Core facilities, Proteomics Core and Analytical Core, will be added. In addition, we will provide professional development workshops on grantsmanship, bioinformatics, scientific publications/presentations, etc. as well as organize a Distinguished Scientist Seminar Series to be held at our Partner Institutions. The Outreach Core will focus on expanding the highly successful undergraduate Research Experience Opportunity summer internship program and assisting the 8 Outreach Institutions in the Network. Outreach efforts include Grants-in-Aid and Outreach Mini-Grants which will provide small equipment seed grants and travel funds for professional development workshops/conferences, etc. The MS-INBRE scientific network, mentoring, training and outreach will enhance biomedical research today and reach into the next generations as we train students who will be the researchers and policy makers of the future.
