怀俄明大学(UW)是一所土地赠与机构，也是唯一一所拥有学士学位的大专毕业生 怀俄明州学位授予机构。本申请是最初的INBRE-1的延续 奖项(P20 RR016474)。建立全州生物医学网络的长期规划目标 卓越的研究将继续下去。最近招聘了四名新的教员，他们在 生物医学科学的广泛领域，以及大学承诺在未来五年内支持新增五名员工 在接下来的五年里，怀俄明州的INBRE网络将逐步获得大量的生物医学研究 教师需要开发可持续的、有竞争力的研究项目。与要建设的目标保持一致 过去的成就和现有的优势，努力将继续集中在如何为 通过怀俄明州INBRE网络的本科生参与实践生物医学研究。这个 在INBRE-1期间开发的三个主要核心(行政、生物信息学和外联)将是 保留。由于外联核心的成功及其对全州网络的重要性，这 核心将得到扩展。根据现有优势确定了两个专题研究领域：1) 心血管疾病和2)肥胖和糖尿病。这两个专题研究领域属于 在美国，发病率、死亡率和高昂的医疗费用是主要原因，而且完全在 为美国人建设一个健康的21世纪而努力。怀俄明州INBRE网络将通过形成 威斯康星大学教师与社区学院之间的伙伴关系。此方法将提供要构建的角色模型 与其他机构的联系，将是推动专题研究领域向前发展的关键，通过增加 全州进行的研究的质量和可见性。通过为以下方面创造机会 在他们学术生涯的早期，生物医学研究的本科生和研究生， 将培养为下一代健康专业人员、生物医学专业人员做出贡献的学生 生物技术行业的科学家和员工。此外，怀俄明州的研究网络将是 作为西部地区理念参与者的共同努力，在西部地区理念领域进行了扩展 节目

The University of Wyoming (UW) is a land-grant institution and the only baccalaureate, post-secondary degree granting institution in the State of Wyoming. This application is a continuation of the initial INBRE-1 award (P20 RR016474). The long-term programmatic goal to establish a statewide network for biomedical research excellence will be continued. With the recent hires of four new faculty who conduct research in the broad area of biomedical science, and a University commitment to support five additional hires during the next five years, the Wyoming INBRE Network is gradually acquiring a critical mass of biomedical research faculty needed to develop sustainable, competitive research programs. Consistent with the goal to build on past achievements and existing strengths, efforts will continue to focus on ways to provide opportunities for undergraduates across the Wyoming INBRE Network to participate in hands-on biomedical research. The three primary cores developed during INBRE-1 (Administrative, Bioinformatics, and Outreach) will be retained. Because of the success of the Outreach Core and its importance to the statewide network, this core will be expanded. Two thematic research areas have been identified based on existing strengths: 1) Cardiovascular Disease and 2) Obesity and Diabetes. These two thematic research areas are among the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and high health care costs in the US and are well within the scope of efforts for a healthy 21st century for Americans. The Wyoming INBRE Network will be enhanced by forming partnerships between faculty at UW and community colleges. This approach will provide role models to build links to other institutions and will be essential in moving the thematic research areas forward by increasing the quality and visibility of the research performed across the state. By creating opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical research early in their academic careers, a pool of students will be created that will contribute to the next generation of health professionals, biomedical scientists and employees for the biotechnology industries. In addition, the Wyoming research network will be expanded across the western IDeA region as a joint effort among participants in the western regional IDeA programs
