Rhode Island IDeA Network for Excellence in Biomedical Research

发展研究计划（Developmental Research Project Program，DRPP） 罗德岛-IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（RI-INBRE）的总体目标是 提高计划机构的生物医学研究能力，并促进指导经验 为学生提供研究机会。发展研究项目计划（DRPP）的主要功能 核心（“项目核心”）是设计和监督RI-INBRE中的几个竞争性供资机制 癌症，神经科学和环境健康科学的主题领域。核心项目实施四个 主要的资助机制，旨在满足不同的研究需求和职业阶段的参与 URI/Brown和合作伙伴主要是本科院校（PUI）的调查人员。（1）早期 职业发展（ECD）奖的初级教师在URI/布朗和合作伙伴罗得岛PUI; 2） 为与高级研究员合作的PUI初级教师颁发合作研究（CR）奖 在URI/布朗; 3）试点项目（PP）奖的研究人员在网络机构;和4）夏季 本科生研究奖学金（SURF）奖的各级教师在PUI。若干新倡议 包括将幼儿发展机制的期限从两年延长到三年 年;对所有项目调查人员进行有指导的培训;扩大参与计划机制的范围 包括URI/Brown和PUI所有职业阶段的教师，并包括专注于社区的项目 参与和外联活动。通过实施这些战略，我们将继续发挥催化剂的作用 生物医学研究职业发展和生物技术燃料经济发展， 制药和生命科学行业在罗得岛州。

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.
