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 an NIH BRIN Award (P20 RR 16474-03). The goal of the INBRE proposed in this application by the University of Wyoming (for the state of Wyoming) is to continue to build on accomplishments achieved as a result of the NIH BRIN Phase I program that was initiated in September 2001. A comprehensive plan has been developed to increase the competitiveness of investigators at the University of Wyoming in obtaining funding from the NIH. In addition, and as a part of the overall plan, an intensive effort will be made to provide additional opportunities for undergraduates at the University of Wyoming and at four of the state's seven community colleges. In addition to the three mandatory cores, three "thematic research areas" have been identified. Two fall into the general category of basic research and one as clinical research. The basic research thematic areas are "Integrative Physiology" and "Fertility and Women's Health." The clinical thematic research area identified is "Health Outcomes in Rural Populations." A novel part of the overall UW INBRE plan that will also create unique research (and mentoring) opportunities is the Visiting Senior Scientist Program. The concept and goal of this program is to recruit well-established, internationally recognized senior scientists to come to the UW and spend 3 to 12 months conducting collaborative research with biomedical scientists in one or more of the thematic research areas identified. This approach - providing role models and building links to other institutions - should be valuable in moving the thematic research areas forward by increasing the quality and visibility of the research performed. In summary, long-term goal is that in five years UW will have made sufficient progress in building its research infrastructure and capabilities that it will be competitive in procuring funds from programs sponsored by the NIH. Moreover, by creating opportunities for undergraduates to participate in biomedical research early in their careers, it is anticipated that a pool of students representing the next generation of health professionals, biomedical scientists and employees for the biotechnology industries will be created.

描述（由申请人提供）：怀俄明大学（UW）是一所授予土地的大学，也是怀俄明州唯一一所授予学士学位、高等教育学位的大学。本申请是NIH BRIN奖（P20 RR 16474-03）的延续。怀俄明大学（代表怀俄明州）在申请中提出的INBRE的目标是继续建立在2001年9月启动的NIH BRIN一期项目所取得的成就的基础上。已经制定了一项全面的计划，以提高怀俄明大学研究人员从美国国立卫生研究院获得资金的竞争力。此外，作为整体计划的一部分，将付出巨大努力，为怀俄明大学和该州七所社区学院中的四所的本科生提供额外的机会。除了三个强制性核心外，还确定了三个“专题研究领域”。其中两个属于基础研究的一般范畴，另一个属于临床研究。基础研究专题领域为“综合生理学”和“生育与妇女健康”。确定的临床专题研究领域是“农村人口的健康结果”。UW INBRE整体计划的一个新颖部分也将创造独特的研究（和指导）机会，即访问高级科学家计划。该计划的概念和目标是招募成熟的，国际公认的资深科学家来华盛顿大学，在一个或多个确定的主题研究领域与生物医学科学家进行3到12个月的合作研究。这种提供榜样和建立与其他机构的联系的办法，通过提高所进行研究的质量和可见度，在推动专题研究领域向前发展方面应该是有价值的。总之，长期目标是在五年内，华盛顿大学将在建设其研究基础设施和能力方面取得足够的进展，从而在从NIH资助的项目中获得资金方面具有竞争力。此外，通过为本科生在其职业生涯早期参与生物医学研究创造机会，预计将培养一批代表下一代保健专业人员、生物医学科学家和生物技术工业雇员的学生。
