OVERALL Project Summary The overall goal of this INBRE renewal application is the facilitation of quality biomedical research activities throughout the State of Louisiana with an emphasis on building research capacity and workforce development. Starting with 2016, overall operations have been re-organized to maximize effectiveness and impact. Briefly, these include: 1) Direct engagement of the Steering Committee members by having bi-annual retreats and written reports provided by each Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI). 2) The appointment of Core Liaison Officers (CLO) in each PUI to directly evaluate individual projects and faculty needs and referral to the LBRN Cores, Bioinformatics Biostatistics and Computational Biology Core (BBCC) and Molecular Cell Biology Resources Core (MCBRC). 3) The creation of a “Core Bucks” funding mechanism to support access to cores for all PUI faculty. In this application, additional major changes are proposed to further improve the currently successful LBRN program: 1) Expansion of the number of PUIs from seven to eight by adding the University of New Orleans (UNO) campus. 2) We will expand undergraduate research experiences to include entire academic year, as well as summer experiences in both academic and industrial settings. Importantly, the Louisiana Board of Regents (LABoR) has recognized the major impact of LBRN in state-wide biomedical research and training and will provide match funding of approx. $1.2 million over five years for the LBRN summer research program. Significant support is also provided by LSU including the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) and the Center for Computation & Technology (CCT). 3) For the first time, we have initiated a campaign to solicit additional financial support for the LBRN program from not-for-profit-institutions, as well as from for-profit institutions. We expect that this effort will provide additional summer stipends for undergraduate students, as well as new hosting institutions and contribute to the expansion of biomedical workforce in Louisiana. The major objectives of this application will be accomplished through the following specific aims: Specific Aim I: Maintain and expand the previously established state-wide infrastructure and intellectual research network supporting interdisciplinary biomedical research. Specific Aim II: Expand and improve the critical mass of biomedical investigators at PUI campuses through the support of mentored research and enhanced communication. Specific Aim III: Increase undergraduate student interest in biomedical research careers throughout Louisiana by providing summer and academic year research opportunities to all PUI institutions within the state. Specific Aim IV: Evaluate, assess, and continuously monitor the progress within LBRN through detailed tracking of research accomplishments, the development of human resources, and productive collaborations among participating institutions.

项目概要 INBRE更新申请的总体目标是促进高质量的生物医学研究活动 在整个路易斯安那州，重点是建设研究能力和劳动力发展。 从2016年开始，对整体业务进行了重组，以最大限度地提高效率和影响。简言之， 这些措施包括：1）指导委员会成员通过每两年举行一次务虚会直接参与， 由每个小学本科院校（PUI）提供的书面报告。2)核心联络人的任命 官员（CLO）在每个PUI直接评估个别项目和教师的需求和转介到LBRN 核心，生物信息学生物统计学和计算生物学核心（BBCC）和分子细胞生物学 资源核心（MCBRC）。3)建立“核心巴克斯”供资机制，以支持获得核心资源 所有PUI教师。在本申请中，提出了额外的主要变化，以进一步改善目前的 成功的LBRN计划：1）通过增加大学，将PUI的数量从七个扩大到八个。 新奥尔良（UNO）校区。2)我们将扩大本科生的研究经验，包括整个 学年，以及在学术和工业环境的夏季经验。重要的是 路易斯安那州董事会（LABoR）已经认识到LBRN在全州生物医学领域的重大影响。 研究和培训，并将提供约匹配的资金。LBRN五年120万美元 暑期研究项目路易斯安那州立大学也提供了重要的支持，包括路易斯安那州立大学兽医学院 计算与技术中心（CCT）。3)我们首次发起了一项 为LBRN计划从非营利机构寻求额外财政支持的运动，以及 从营利性机构。我们希望这一努力将为本科生提供额外的夏季津贴 学生，以及新的主办机构，并有助于扩大生物医学劳动力， 方面应受中华本申请的主要目标将通过以下具体目标实现： 具体目标一：维持和扩大以前建立的全州基础设施， 支持跨学科生物医学研究的智力研究网络。 具体目标二：扩大和提高PUI校园生物医学研究人员的临界质量 通过指导研究和加强沟通的支持。 具体目标III：提高本科生对生物医学研究职业的兴趣 路易斯安那州通过提供夏季和学年的研究机会，所有PUI机构内 该州 具体目标四：评价、评估和持续监测LBRN的进展， 详细跟踪研究成果、人力资源开发和生产力 参与机构之间的合作。
