Developmental Research Project Program

密西西比INBRE 化学研究项目 项目总结/摘要 密西西比INBRE的科学主题集中在癌症，传染病和肥胖，因为这三个主要的 健康挑战对密西西比的影响比其他任何州都大。发展研究计划 为MS INBRE已经开发，以增加MS生物医学研究企业内的人力资本 通过支持研究人员在合作伙伴本科院校（PUI），培训学生在生物医学 研究，并提供专业发展的机会。建立研究计划 MS的本科院校具有挑战性。关键障碍是预算问题，这些问题限制了 本科院校将教师从教学、创造或改造实验室空间中解放出来， 购买和维护设备，购买研究用品，并提供研究支持 工作人员该计划将通过以下三个具体目标具体应对这些挑战：1）基金 研究发展赠款，以聘请和资助有前途的初级研究员; 2）试验基金 项目赠款、基于社区的试点项目赠款和其他小额赠款，以支持当前的生物医学 本科院校的研究人员;以及3）为PUI研究人员提供专业发展。在 该项目完成后，我们将大大增加有竞争力的生物医学研究人员的数量 在本科院校和加强整体生物医学基础设施在密西西比。

MISSISSIPPI INBRE DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH PROJECT PROGRAM Project Summary/Abstract Mississippi INBRE's scientific themes focus on cancer, infectious diseases, and obesity, as these three major health challenges affect Mississippi more than any other state. The Developmental Research Project Program for MS INBRE has been developed to grow the human capital within biomedical research enterprises in MS through supporting investigators at Partner Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), training students in biomedical research, and providing opportunities for professional development. Establishing research programs at undergraduate institutions in MS is challenging. Critical barriers are budgetary issues that limit the ability of undergraduate institutions to release faculty from teaching, creation or renovation of laboratory space, purchase and maintenance of equipment, purchase of research supplies, and provision of research support staff. This program will specifically address these challenges through the following three specific aims: 1) Fund Research Development Grants to hire and support promising new junior investigators at PUIs; 2) Fund Pilot Project Grants, Community-Based Pilot Project Grants, and other small grants to support current biomedical investigators at undergraduate institutions; and 3) Provide professional development to PUI investigators. At the completion of this project, we will significantly increase the number of competitive biomedical investigators at undergraduate institutions and enhance the overall biomedical infrastructure in Mississippi.
