Developmental Research Project Program

MT INBRE IV的总体目标是：1）维护和进一步发展蒙大拿研究网络 和学生管道，2）利用这个网络来解决蒙大拿州农村地区严重的健康差距， 原住民面临的问题。为了实现这些目标，MT INBRE IV的一个关键组成部分是开发 跨蒙大拿州的合作机构，其中包括5个主要的多学科研究能力 大学本科院校（PUI），7个部落学院（TC）和2个主要的研究型大学。满足这些 通过实施新的发展研究项目， 项目（DRPP），这是从INBRE I-III的原始研究核心的延伸。实现DRPP 目标将导致全州跨学科的研究网络，重点是解决重大的健康问题 在蒙大拿州的农村和部落社区，加强劳动力，研究和学生培训 穿越MT的管道与MT INBRE IV的管理、MT IDEA社区参与和 生物信息学和生物统计学核心，DRPP将为整个网络的研究者提供机会 发展研究项目，重点关注健康差异。在国家的本土至关重要 美国和农村社区将开展有关复原力、心理健康和自杀预防、营养、 粮食安全/主权和代谢性疾病。重要的是，DRPP不仅寻求发展 成功的研究项目，并通过协调一致的指导努力，促进他们的未来。因此， DRPP投资于研究者自身的成功职业轨迹以及 致力于生物医学研究事业的学生管道。《减贫方案》将实现三个具体目标。 目标1：继续发展已建立的多学科健康差距研究网络， 生物医学研究专业知识和基础设施在蒙大拿州，并扩大其范围和能力。具体 目标2：通过提供研究支持，扩大MT INBRE网络的研究基础和能力， 教师、博士后研究员和研究生。具体目标3：提供研究机会， 本科生和研究生将创建一个专注于健康研究的学生管道 careers.

The overarching goals of MT INBRE IV are to 1) maintain and further develop the Montana research network and student pipeline, and 2) utilize this network to address the serious health disparities that Montana's rural and Native communities face. To achieve these goals, a key component of MT INBRE IV is to develop multidisciplinary research capacity across Montana's partner institutions, which include 5 primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), 7 tribal colleges (TCs) and 2 major research universities. Meeting these goals will be accomplished, in part, through the implementation of the new Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP), which is an extension of the original Research Core from INBRE I-III. Achieving the DRPP's goal will lead to a statewide interdisciplinary research network focused on addressing significant health issues among Montana's rural and tribal communities and strengthening the workforce, research, and student-training pipeline across MT. Collaborating with MT INBRE IV's Administrative, MT IDeA Community Engagement, and Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Cores, the DRPP will provide opportunities for investigators across the network to develop research programs focused on health disparities. Of critical importance in the state's Native American and rural communities will be projects on resiliency, mental health and suicide prevention, nutrition, food security/sovereignty, and metabolic diseases. Importantly, the DRPP seeks not only to develop successful research projects but also to foster their future through a concerted mentoring effort. As such, the DRPP is invested in the successful career trajectory of the investigators themselves and in the development of a pipeline of students dedicated to careers in biomedical research. The DRPP will achieve three specific aims. Aim 1: Continue to develop the established multi-disciplinary health disparities research network to strengthen biomedical research expertise and infrastructure across Montana and expand its scope and capacity. Specific Aim 2: Expand the research base and capacity across the MT INBRE network by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Specific Aim 3: Provide research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students that will create a pipeline of students focused on health research careers.
