North Dakota INBRE Health and the Environment

北达科他州是一个土地面积很大，农村人口很少，分布广泛的州。这些 特点促使ND INBRE狭隘而积极地专注于为以下方面提供机会 国家服务不足的学生参加本科生和K-12年级的活动，这将刺激 有兴趣加入国家的健康专业管道。迄今为止，ND INBRE已经形成了有效和 与所有国家支持的四年制本科院校(PUI)和 位于新德里边界内的所有部落学院(TCU)。此外，ND INBRE还提供注册服务 作为对所有初中和高中的鼓励，鼓励他们的学生参加地区、州、 和国家科学与工程博览会计划。这些伙伴关系因成功的努力而得到加强 改善研究密集型大学(RLU)和 PUI和TCU的合作伙伴。这些努力将在本供资周期内继续进行，并将增加 我们的社区学院参与了暑期本科生研究计划。把重点放在 本科生研究将继续，因为ND INBRE将在4个月内资助7个研究发展补助金 PUI院校、5所部落学院的5名学生资助的试点助学金和50名暑期本科生 暑期研究奖学金主要在RIU机构。转会之星计划将鼓励 从两年制TCU毕业的美国印第安人学生完成他们的学士学位和 科学和工程博览会计划将鼓励本科生报考STEM项目 和高等学府。继PUI和TCU研究项目获奖后，竞争 将向RIU机构提供对导师和核心基础设施的支持。ND INBRE建议 继续为北达科他州发展下一代 生物医学研究科学家和卫生专业人员。

North Dakota is a state with a large land mass and a small, widely dispersed rural population. These characteristics motivated the ND INBRE to focus narrowly and aggressively on providing opportunities for the State's under-served students to participate in undergraduate and K-12 activities that would stimulate interest in joining the Nation's health professional pipeline. To date, the ND INBRE has formed effective and productive partnerships with all the state-supported four year primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and all Tribal Colleges (TCUs) located within the borders of ND. In addition, the ND INBRE provides registration for all junior and senior high schools as encouragement for their students to participate in the regional, state, and national Science and Engineering Fair program. These partnerships are enhanced by successful efforts of the ND INBRE to improve and provide infrastructure to the research intensive universities (RlUs) and the PUI and TCU partners. These efforts will be continued in the current funding cycle with the additional participation of our community colleges in the summer undergraduate research program. The emphasis on undergraduate research will continue as the ND INBRE will fund 7 Research Development Grants at the 4 PUI institutions, 5 Student Powered Pilot Grants at the 5 Tribal Colleges, and 50 Summer Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowships primarily at the RIU institutions. The Transfer Stars program will encourage American Indian students graduating from 2 yr TCUs to complete their baccalaureate degrees and the Science and Engineering Fair program will encourage undergraduate enrollment in STEM programs at all ND institutions of higher learning. Following the award of the PUI and TCU research programs, competitive support for mentors and core infrastructure will be provided to the RIU institutions. The ND INBRE proposes to continue its outstanding performance in serving North Dakota's development of the next generation of biomedical research scientists and health professionals.
