Research Training and Resources Core

研究培训和资源核心项目摘要 缅因州INBRE（ME-INBRE）的研究培训和资源核心（RTRC）将监督和 协调管理ME-INBRE开发的研究培训项目和核心设施， 以最大限度地提高ME-INBRE项目中研究资源使用的效率和效益。为此， RTRC有三个具体目标。首先是管理和促进获得支持生物医学的资源， 研究和研究培训贯穿整个ME-INBRE。RTRC将维护和协调使用 核心设施（DNA测序、基因表达分析、生物成像和动物支持） 需要进行ME-INBRE研究和研究培训。RTRC将参与核心实验室网络 (NICL、VGN和NERLSCD），以便将ME-INBRE研究者与其他资源联系起来。的 RTRC还将提供以下支持服务：培训教师和学生利用这些研究 资源;授予缅因州教师、博士后研究员和高级研究生的小额赠款 机构利用东北部IDEA地区的核心设施资源;以及仪器交易所 计划，其中ME-INBRE机构贷款或捐赠研究设备给其他ME-INBRE机构。 第二个目标是为本科生提供研究培训经验， 生物医学研究和其他生物医学职业的教育。这将通过ME-INBRE实现 短期课程和研究奖学金，为本科生提供研究经验。的 RTRC将举办一个系列研讨会，该系列研讨会将提供给缅因州IDEA（INBRE、COBRE和CTR） 这些机构，使学生和教师接触到各种各样的生物医学研究。学生和教师 这项研究将在一年一度的缅因州生物和医学科学研讨会（MBMSS）上分享。 春季和夏季的年度学生研究研讨会。第三个目标是增加 与缅因州和东北部IDEA地区的研究培训合作伙伴合作。RTRC将 与缅因州科学教育合作奖（SEPA）项目合作，实施本科 东北部IDEA地区的夏季研究奖学金交流，并为以下方面提供更强的支持： 缅因州大学生物医学科学与工程研究生院（GSBSE） 研究生参与科研和培训的机会，招收优秀研究生 来自缅因州的本科院校。总而言之，RTRC将提供核心设施和技术， 使教师的研究，提供尖端实验室技术和技能的本科生培训， 确保最大限度地利用研究资源，以满足ME-INBRE研究和培训的需求 程序.

RESEARCH TRAINING AND RESOURCES CORE PROJECT SUMMARY The Research Training and Resources Core (RTRC) of the Maine INBRE (ME-INBRE) will oversee and coordinate management of both the research training programs and core facilities developed by ME-INBRE, so as to maximize the efficacy and efficiency of research resource usage in ME-INBRE programs. To that end the RTRC has three specific aims. The first is to manage and facilitate access to resources that support biomedical research and research training throughout the ME-INBRE. The RTRC will maintain and coordinate the use of Core Facilities (DNA Sequencing, Gene Expression Analysis, Biological Imaging, and Animal Support) required for ME-INBRE research and research training. The RTRC will participate in Core Laboratory networks (NICL, VGN, and NERLSCD) in order to connect ME-INBRE investigators with additional resources. The RTRC will also provide the following support services: Training for faculty and students utilizing these research resources; Small Grants awarded to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students at Maine institutions to utilize core facility resources in the Northeast IDeA Region; and an Instrument Exchange Program, where ME-INBRE institutions loan or donate research equipment to other ME-INBRE institutions. The second aim is to offer research training experiences for undergraduates with pathways to graduate education in biomedical research and other biomedical careers. This will be accomplished through ME-INBRE Short Courses and Research Fellowships that provide undergraduate students with research experiences. The RTRC will run a Seminar Series that will be made available to Maine IDeA (INBRE, COBRE, and CTR) institutions, exposing students and faculty to a diverse array of biomedical research. Student and faculty research will be shared at the annual Maine Biological and Medical Sciences Symposium (MBMSS) in the spring and at an annual Student Research Symposium in the summer. The third aim is to increase collaboration with research training partners in Maine and the Northeast IDeA region. The RTRC will collaborate with Maine Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) projects, implement an undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Exchange within the Northeast IDeA Region, and provide enhanced support for the University of Maine's Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering (GSBSE) to both facilitate graduate student participation in research and training opportunities and recruit outstanding graduate students from Maine undergraduate institutions. In summary the RTRC will provide core facilities and technology to enable faculty research, provide undergraduates training in cutting-edge laboratory technologies and skills, and ensure that use of research resources is maximized to meet the needs of ME-INBRE research and training programs.
