Alaska INBRE-2: Environmental Agents and Disease

描述（由申请人提供）： 阿拉斯加IDEA生物医学卓越网络（INBRE）3建议加强和扩大我们在INBRE 1和2计划中开始的生物医学研究和培训网络。研究的重点是人和动物的环境、健康和疾病的界面（根据“一个健康”）。INBRE 3将支持以大学为基础的学者，他们相互教授和他们的学生，以及一个将阿拉斯加大学（UA）校园（费尔班克斯，UAF;安克雷奇，UAA;东南，UAS）与阿拉斯加城市和村庄的劳动力和医院联系起来的网络。阿拉斯加原住民（AN）的观点和阿拉斯加独特的环境以及人类和动物种群将被整合到我们的5个具体目标中，以加强全州的生物医学研究和健康。目标1是加强和扩大多学科研究和教学网络。INBRE 3网络将提供生物医学研究和'教学资源，教师和学员从UAF，UAA，UAS校园和学习中心在阿拉斯加，合作伙伴政府实验室，一个部落和卫生组织。支持目标1的具体目标是INBRE 3通过包括本科未成年人，B.S./ M.S.学位和生物医学科学研究生证书。目标2将支持教师，博士后研究人员和研究生。一个例子是一个竞争性的种子赠款，旨在建立我们的校外资助和基础的转化研究努力的发展能力。目标3将提供本科生研究机会，以支持通往生物医学研究和健康事业的管道。目标4将提高科学和技术知识，通过教师与社区合作，发展研究和教育伙伴关系，扩大生物医学信息学的核心发展，建立阿拉斯加的劳动力。目标5将通过州际种子赠款、学生研究经验、科学会议和研讨会以及区域资源交流来加强西部IDEA州的生物医学研究，以通过合作最大限度地提高INBRE项目的有效性。因此，INBRE 3将提高生物医学研究能力，并为阿拉斯加州服务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alaska IDeA Network for Biomedical Excellence (INBRE)3 proposes to strengthen and expand our network for biomedical research and training that was begun in our INBRE1 and 2 programs. Research is focused on the interface of the environment, health and disease in people and animals (as per "One Health"). INBRE3 will support university-based scholars, who teach one another and their students and a network that links the University of Alaska (UA) campuses (Fairbanks, UAF; Anchorage, UAA; Southeast, UAS) to the workforce and hospitals of Alaska's cities and villages. Alaska Native (AN) perspectives and Alaska's unique environment and human and animal populations will be integrated in our 5 specific aims to enhance statewide biomedical research and health. Aim 1 is to enhance and expand the multidisciplinary research and teaching network. INBRE3 network will provide biomedical research and' teaching resources to faculty and trainees from UAF, UAA, UAS campuses and learning centers across Alaska, partner government laboratories, AN tribal and health organizations. Specific goals in support of Aim 1 are for INBRE3 to foster UA biomedical educational programs by including an undergraduate minor, B.S./M.S. degrees, and a graduate certificate in biomedical sciences. Aim 2 will support faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. One example is a competitive seed grant aimed at building our capacity for extramural funding and the development of the basic to translational research endeavors. Aim 3 will provide undergraduate research opportunities to support the pipeline leading toward biomedical research and health careers. Aim 4 will enhance science and technology knowledge to build Alaska's workforce by faculty working with communities to develop research and education partnerships and expanding biomedical informatics with development of a core. Aim 5 will enhance biomedical research in the western IDeA states with inter-state seed grants, student research experiences, scientific meetings and workshops, and a regional resource exchange to maximize the effectiveness of individual INBRE programs through collaboration. Thus, INBRE3 will enhance biomedical research capacity and serve the state of Alaska.
