South Carolina IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence

新的SC INBRE将建立在当前资助期间建立的坚实基础之上，当时所有四个SC INBRE以本科生为主的机构(PUI：克拉夫林大学、查尔斯顿大学、福尔曼大学和温斯罗普大学)都极大地提高了它们的生物医学研究能力，建立了强大的本科生研究培训计划，并大幅增加了继续接受博士、医学生或卫生专业人员培训的学生数量。南加州大学INBRE对目标教师的支持，加上强大的机构承诺，建立了一支由外部资助的研究人员队伍，他们作为夏季从事研究的本科生以及整个学年作为本科课程不可分割的一部分的研究导师，以及研究生。SC INBRE在三所综合研究型大学(CRU)建立再生医学/生物工程合作网络方面取得了超出预期的成功，在所有三所机构招聘了新的教员，设立了新的生物工程本科和研究生课程，并在所有三所机构中开发了出色的合作研究项目，并获得了坚实的外部资金。此外，已经在各机构之间以及公共政策研究所和CRU调查人员之间建立了一些合作。在SC INBRE的第二阶段，我们在网络中增加了三个机构：弗朗西斯·马里恩大学、南卡罗来纳州立大学和南加州大学博福特。这些新成员为生物医学研究培训和基础设施发展提供了更多的地点和资源，并增强了我们吸引少数族裔学生投身科学职业的能力。支持和培育新兴市场。成员机构之间的合作，以增加SC INBRE的联网功能。我们将在当前SC INBRE提供的坚实基础上，发展CRU在翻译方向上的再生医学/生物工程研究，并协调CRU项目与PUI的研究和培训项目。我们将加强和集中努力，进一步建立和支持培训渠道，特别关注生物医学科学领域少数群体的招募和留住。

The new SC INBRE will build upon the solid foundation established during the current funding period, when all four SC INBRE Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs: Claflin University, the College of Charleston, Furman and Winthrop Universities) have dramatically increased their biomedical research capacity, establishing strong undergraduate research training programs and substantially increasing the number of students who are pursuing further training as Ph.D. students, medical students or health professionals. SC INBRE support of target faculty, coupled with strong institutional commitment, established a cadre of extramurally funded investigators who serve as research mentors to undergraduate students engaged in research in the summer, as well as throughout the academic year as an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum, and to graduate students. SC INBRE succeeded beyond expectations at the three Comprehensive Research Universities (CRUs) in the establishment of a collaborative network for Regenerative Medicine/Bioengineering, with the hiring of new faculty at all three institutions, the establishment of new Bioengineering undergraduate and graduate programs, and the development of outstanding collaborative research programs across all three institutions, with solid extramural funding. In addition, a number of collaborations have been already established across institutions, and between PUI and CRU investigators. In this second phase of SC INBRE, we have added three institutions to the network: Francis Marion University, South Carolina State University and USC Beaufort. These new members provide additional sites and resources for biomedical research training and infrastructure development, and augment our ability to attract minority students to scientific careers. We will support and foster emerging. collaborations among member institutions, to increase the networking features of SC INBRE. We will build upon the strong foundation provided by the current SC INBRE to develop the CRU's Regenerative Medicine/ Bioengineering research in translational directions, and to coordinate CRU programs with research and training programs at the PUIs. We will intensify and focus our efforts to further build and support the pipeline for training, with particular attention to the recruitment and retention of minorities in biomedical science.
