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.

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、资助培训和200多个动手学生研究实习，显著加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展到六个PUI来培养下一代科学家：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加卢学院。我们将支持和指导这些合作机构的九名有前途的教员研究人员，他们从事密西西比特别关注的重点领域之一的基础研究：心血管疾病、癌症或传染病。这些疾病是密西西比州死亡和残疾的主要原因，对该州人口的健康差异尤其令人关切。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。在一项重大的新倡议中，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，以供PUI和密西西比州的其他研究人员使用。两个额外的核心设施，蛋白质组学核心和分析核心，将增加。此外，我们将提供专业发展工作坊，内容包括资助、生物资讯、科学刊物/演讲等，并在我们的合作院校举办杰出科学家系列研讨会。外展核心将专注于扩展非常成功的本科生研究经验机会暑期实习项目，并协助网络中的8个外展机构。外联工作包括援助赠款和外联小额赠款，这些赠款将为专业发展讲习班/会议等提供小型设备种子赠款和旅行资金。MS-INBRE的科学网络、指导、培训和推广将加强今天的生物医学研究，并在我们培养将成为未来研究人员和政策制定者的学生时，将影响到下一代。
