 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Wyoming (UW) is a land-grant institution and the only baccalaureate, post-secondary degree-granting institution in the State of Wyoming. This application is a continuation of previous NCRR IDeA program awards (P20RR016474), now managed through NIGMS (GM103432-13). The long-term programmatic goal to establish a statewide network for biomedical research and excellence will be continued. The Specific Aims for this application are to: 1) continue to build on the established multi- disciplinary research network with scientific foci that will build and strengthen biomedical research expertise and infrastructure at the University of Wyoming and its seven partner institutions; 2) build and increase the research base and capacity of the University of Wyoming and its partner institutions by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students; 3) provide research opportunities for undergraduate students that will create a pipeline for undergraduate students to continue in health research careers within IDeA states; 4) enhance the science and technology knowledge of the state's workforce; and 5) expand Wyoming research opportunities across the Western IDeA Region. Consistent with the goal to build on past achievements and existing strengths efforts will continue to focus on acquiring a critical mass of biomedical research faculty to develop sustainable and competitive research programs as well as ways to provide opportunities for undergraduates at UW and all seven of the state's community colleges to participate in hands-on biomedical research. Three cores are proposed: Administrative, Bioinformatics, and Outreach. Because of the success of the Outreach Core and its importance to the statewide network, this core will be retained and expanded. The name of the core has been changed to Outreach and Education Core to better reflect its function. In addition, plans for a mandatory Developmental Research Project Program are describe. Two thematic research areas have been identified: 1) Cardiometabolic Syndrome and 2) Biomedical Technologies for Chronic Disease Research. The first is based on existing strengths in cardiovascular and metabolic disease (obesity/type 2 diabetes) developed during the previous INBRE that can be further improved; the second is a new thematic area. The new thematic area is the result of the collective vision of four junior faculty who have realized the value of collaboration, sharing of expertise, and building research teams to address biomedical-related problems. The Wyoming INBRE Network will be further enhanced by forming partnerships between faculty at UW and community colleges. This approach will provide role models to build links to other institutions and will be essential in moving the thematic research areas forward by increasing the quality and visibility of the research performed across the state. Finally, by creating opportunities for undergraduates early in their academic careers, a pool of students will be created that will contribute to the next generation of health professionals, biomedical scientists, and employees for the biotechnology industries.

 描述（由申请人提供）：怀俄明州大学（UW）是一所赠地大学，也是怀俄明州唯一的学士学位和中学后学位授予机构。本申请是先前NCRR IDEA计划奖励（P20 RR 016474）的延续，现在通过NIGMS（GM 103432 -13）进行管理。建立全州生物医学研究和卓越网络的长期计划目标将继续下去。该申请的具体目标是：1）继续建立具有科学焦点的已建立的多学科研究网络，这将建立和加强怀俄明州大学及其七个合作机构的生物医学研究专业知识和基础设施; 2）通过为教师提供研究支持，建立和增加怀俄明州大学及其合作机构的研究基础和能力，博士后研究员和研究生; 3）为本科生提供研究机会，这将为本科生继续在IDEA州内从事健康研究职业创造一个渠道; 4）增强该州劳动力的科学和技术知识;以及5）在西部IDEA地区扩大怀俄明州的研究机会。与建立在过去成就和现有优势的目标相一致，努力将继续专注于获得生物医学研究教师的临界质量，以开发可持续和有竞争力的研究项目，以及为华盛顿大学和该州所有七所社区学院的本科生提供机会的方式参与动手生物医学研究。拟议的三个核心：行政、生物信息学和外联。由于外联核心的成功及其对全州网络的重要性，该核心将被保留和扩大。核心的名称已改为外联和教育核心，以更好地反映其职能。此外，还介绍了强制性发展研究项目计划。已确定两个专题研究领域：1）心脏代谢综合征和2）慢性病研究的生物医学技术。第一个是基于上一次INBRE期间开发的心血管和代谢疾病（肥胖症/2型糖尿病）的现有优势，可以进一步改进;第二个是一个新的主题领域。新的主题领域是四个初级教师的集体愿景的结果，他们已经意识到合作，分享专业知识和建立研究团队以解决生物医学相关问题的价值。怀俄明州INBRE网络将通过在UW和社区学院的教师之间建立伙伴关系来进一步加强。这种方法将提供榜样，以建立与其他机构的联系，并将通过提高整个国家的研究质量和知名度在推动专题研究领域向前发展至关重要。最后，通过为本科生在学术生涯的早期创造机会，将创建一个学生池，这将有助于下一代卫生专业人员，生物医学科学家和生物技术行业的员工。
