North Dakota INBRE: Health and the Environment

北达科他州INBRE成功地实现了IDeA项目的目标，即在该州主要的本科院校（PUIs）建立本科生研究文化，这超出了所有合理的预期。此外，北达科他州的四所州立大学都建立了一种文化，能够维持和加强这些由inbre赞助的本科生研究项目。ND INBRE还将这些努力推进到美洲原住民社区，成功地在龟山社区学院建立了一个以遗传学为基础的、本科生驱动的先兆子痫研究项目。坎德斯卡·奇卡纳社区学院的美洲原住民教师最近开设了一门研究入门课程，ND INBRE在资助和稳定印第安人进入医学项目的K-12部分方面发挥了带头作用。这个项目培养了超过25%的美国本土医生。越来越多的证据表明，ND INBRE本科研究项目正在对进入生物医学研究领域的本科生产生影响。ND INBRE在未来一年的重点目标将是在有线和图书馆资源之外发展生物信息学。目标1：继续支持和加强优秀的本科研究项目。目标2：继续支持和扩大美国原住民学生参与本科研究的努力。目标3：继续支持INMED暑期学院和衔接项目。目标4：继续支持先前建立的蛋白质组学核心设施，并继续开发金属分析核心。发起一个尖端的生物信息学计划。目标5：建立以社区为基础的参与性研究核心。目标6：发展一个网络，鼓励合作伙伴之间的科学和专业互动，并加强学生进入生物医学和行为研究的管道。

The North Dakota INBRE has succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations in fulfilling the IDeA program's goal of establishing an undergraduate research culture in the State's primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). Furthermore, each of the four PUIs in North Dakota have developed a culture capable of sustaining and enhancing these INBRE-sponsored undergraduate research programs. The ND INBRE has also advanced these efforts into the Native American community with the successful establishment of a genetics-based, undergraduate-driven research program on pre-eclampsia at Turtle Mountain Community College. An introduction to research course has recently been developed by Native American faculty for the Cankdeska Cikana Community College, the ND INBRE has taken the lead in funding and stabilizing the K-12 portion of the Indians into Medicine Program. This program produces over 25% of the Nation's Native American physicians. Evidence is accumulating that the ND INBRE undergraduate research programs are having an impact on the pipeline of undergraduates entering biomedical research. A focused goal of ND INBRE in the coming year will be to develop bioinformatics beyond wire and library resources. Aim 1: To Continue to Support and Enhance the Outstanding Undergraduate Research Programs. Aim 2: To Continue to Support and Expand Efforts to Engage Native American Students in Undergraduate Research. Aim 3: To Continue to Support the INMED Summer Academy and Pathways Program. Aim 4: To Continue Support for a Previously Established Proteomics Core Facility and Continue Development of a Metal Analysis Core. To Initiate a Cutting-Edge Bioinformatics Program. Aim 5: To Establish a Community Based Participatory Research Core. Aim 6: The Development of a Network that Encourages Scientific and Professional Interactions Among the Partners and Enhances the Pipeline of Students Entering Biomedical and Behavioral Research.
