Alaska INBRE-2: Environmental Agents and Disease

描述(由申请人提供)： 阿拉斯加IDEA卓越生物医学网络(INBRE)3建议加强和扩大我们在INBRE1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、健康和疾病之间的相互作用(根据“一个健康”)。INBRE3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)校区(UAA的费尔班克斯；UAA的安克雷奇；UAS的东南)与阿拉斯加城市和乡村的劳动力和医院连接起来的网络。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，以加强全州范围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。INBRE3网络将向来自阿拉斯加各地的UAF、UAA、UAS校园和学习中心、合作伙伴政府实验室、部落和卫生组织的教职员工和学员提供生物医学研究和教学资源。支持目标1的具体目标是INBRE3通过包括本科辅修学士/硕士学位和生物医学科学研究生证书来促进亚利桑那州的生物医学教育项目。Aim 2将为教师、博士后研究人员和研究生提供支持。一个例子是竞争性种子赠款，旨在建设我们提供外部资金的能力，并发展从基础到翻译的研究努力。AIM 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职业的管道。AIM 4将通过教员与社区合作发展研究和教育伙伴关系，并通过开发核心来扩展生物医学信息学，来增强科学和技术知识，以建设阿拉斯加的劳动力队伍。目标5将通过州际种子资助、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方IDEA国家的生物医学研究，以通过合作最大限度地提高个别INBRE计划的有效性。因此，INBRE3将增强生物医学研究能力，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.
