Rhode Island IDeA Network for Excellence in Biomedical Research

发展研究项目计划(DRPP)核心的项目摘要 罗德岛-IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络(RI-INBRE)的首要目标是 增强计划机构的生物医学研究能力，促进导师体验 为学生提供研究机会。发展研究项目计划(DRPP)的主要作用 核心(“项目核心”)是设计和监督国际扶轮-INBRE的几个竞争性筹资机制 癌症、神经科学和环境健康科学的主题领域。项目核心实施了四个 旨在满足参与的不同研究需求和职业阶段的主要资助机制 URI/Brown的调查人员和合作伙伴主要是本科生机构(PUI)。这包括1)提早 为URI/Brown初级教员和罗德岛普伊斯合伙人颁发的职业发展(ECD)奖；2) 与资深研究员(S)合作的PUI初级教员协作研究(CR)奖 在URI/Brown；3)为网络机构的研究人员颁发试点项目(PP)奖；以及4)夏季 本科生研究奖学金(SURF)奖颁发给各级教职员工。几项新举措 包括将幼儿发展机制的期限从两个延长到三个 多年；对所有项目调查员进行辅导培训；扩大方案参与机制的范围 包括URI/Brown和PUI所有职业阶段的教师，并包括以社区为重点的项目 参与和外展活动。通过实施这些战略，我们将继续发挥催化剂的作用 为了生物医学研究事业的发展和推动生物技术经济的发展， 罗德岛州的制药和生命科学产业。

Project Summary for Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP) Core The overarching goals of Rhode Island-IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (RI-INBRE) are to enhance the biomedical research capacity of the program institutions and to facilitate mentored experiential research opportunities for students. The major function of the Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP) Core (“Projects Core”) is to design and oversee several competitive funding mechanisms in the RI-INBRE thematic areas of cancer, neuroscience, and environmental health science. The Projects Core implements four primary funding mechanisms designed to meet the varying research needs and career stages of participating investigators at URI/Brown and the partner primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). These include 1) Early Career Development (ECD) awards for junior faculty at URI/Brown and the partner Rhode Island PUIs; 2) Collaborative Research (CR) awards for junior faculty at the PUIs who collaborate with a senior investigator(s) at URI/Brown; 3) Pilot Project (PP) awards for investigators at the network institutions; and 4) Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) awards for faculty of all levels at the PUIs. Several new initiatives are planned for the renewal period including extending the duration of the ECD mechanism from two to three years; implementing mentored training for all project investigators; expanding the scope of the PP mechanism to include faculty at all career stages at URI/Brown and the PUIs and to include projects focused on community engagement and outreach activities. By implementing these strategies, we will continue to serve as a catalyst for biomedical research career development and fuel economic development in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries in the State of Rhode Island.
