PARTNER FOR BIOMED RES IN ARKANSAS: BIOINFORMATICS CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 生物信息学核心的一个中心目标是培养一批具有生物信息学专业知识的教职员工和支持人员，并促进他们的沟通和互动，以满足该州不断发展的研究社区的需求。 目标1：新教师 通过招聘新的教员并增强UALR、UAMS和UAF现有生物信息学教员的能力，建立一支拥有生物信息学专业知识的核心研究人员团队。UAMS、UALR和UAF的现有研究项目正在使用生成需要专家管理的大量数据的技术。因此，阿肯色州大学系统中最大的需求之一是建立一组在生物信息学领域具有特定重点的研究人员和支持人员。 目标2：访问网格 通过通过高速互联网2连接的Access Grid工作室，在UALR、UAMS和UAF的教职员工之间建立有效的沟通网络。接入网格工作室已经在UALR、UAF、UAMS和阿肯色州立大学建立。 目标3：生物信息学教育 在布林的指导下，UALR和UAMS合作为阿肯色州高校的本科生和研究生创造了生物信息学领域的教育和研究机会，开发了UALR的本科课程，以及UALR和UAMS在生物信息学方面的联合研究生项目。Brin生物信息学核心的一个非常重要的使命是合作，为整个阿肯色州的本科生和研究生发展教育机会。目前阿肯色州吸引生物技术产业的努力使我们的学生在计算生物学方面的教育成为优先事项。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A central goal of the Bioinformatics Core is to create a critical mass of faculty and support staff with expertise in bioinformatics and to facilitate their communication and interaction to meet the needs of the developing research community in the state. Objective 1: New Faculty Establish a core group of researchers with expertise in bioinformatics by recruiting new faculty and enhancing the capabilities of existing bioinformatics faculty at UALR, UAMS, and UAF. Existing research programs at UAMS, UALR, and UAF are using techniques that generate large amounts of data requiring expert management. Consequently, one of the greatest needs within the University of Arkansas System is to build a group of researchers and support staff with a specific focus in the field of bioinformatics. Objective 2: Access Grid Establish an effective communication network among the faculty at UALR, UAMS, and UAF through Access Grid studios connected via the high-speed Internet2. Access Grid studios have been established at UALR, UAF, UAMS and Arkansas State University. Objective 3: Bioinformatics Education Under the guidance of the BRIN UALR and UAMS have partnered to create educational and research opportunities in the field of bioinformatics for undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities throughout Arkansas with the development of undergraduate courses at UALR and a joint graduate program between UALR and UAMS in bioinformatics. A very important mission of the BRIN Bioinformatics Core is to cooperate in the development of educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students throughout Arkansas. Current efforts to attract biotechnology industries to Arkansas makes the education of our students in computational biology a priority.
