INBRE II: Hawaii Statewide Research & Education Partnership (HSREP)

描述(由申请人提供)：INBRE II：夏威夷全州研究和教育伙伴关系(HSREP)的总体目标是为合作机构中有前途的教员研究人员创建一个有指导意义的职业发展和研究机会的协调计划，并加强让本科生和研究生获得激发他们兴趣的培训和教育机会的渠道，从而增加他们追求生物医学研究职业的可能性。凭借坚实的行政结构和领导、生物信息学资源中心和实验室核心、代表我们的指导委员会的高层机构支持和外部顾问的专家建议，我们将实现以下具体目标。目标1：加强HSREP的行政结构和问责制：目标2：加强生物信息学核心，重点是HSREP机构和调查人员的服务和基础设施、研究和网络协作以及教育和培训三位一体：目标3：通过培训和教育核心集中伙伴机构的教育和培训活动：Airri 4：通过研究核心集中伙伴机构的职业发展研究活动：目标5：振兴和加强夏威夷大学希洛校区新药学院的生物医学研究能力。我们相信，我们的新领导层，连同这里描述的清晰描述的核心，将在这一预期的更新周期中将INBRE计划推向新的高度。 公共卫生相关性(由申请人提供)：HSREP体现在与当前和未来对训练有素的生物医学科学家的需求以及为其蓬勃发展的生物技术计划提供动力的劳动力相关的特殊机会上。此外，由于其海洋、热带和亚热带环境、人口多样性以及位于美国和亚太地区之间的地理位置，夏威夷是未来生物科学创新和合作的场所。通过初级研究人员的研究提案，将专题重点放在自然产品和神经科学上，目的是提供与人类健康有关的重要新信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The INBRE II: The overall objective of the Hawaii Statewide Research and Education Partnership (HSREP) is to both create a coordinated program of mentored career development and research opportunities for promising faculty investigators at the partner institutions, as well as to strengthen the pipeline for engaging undergraduate and graduate students with training and education opportunities that will spark their interest, thereby increasing the likelihood of their pursuing careers in biomedical research. Drawing upon solid administrative structure and leadership, a bioinformatics resource center and laboratory cores, high-level institutional support on behalf of our Steering Committee and expert advice from external advisors, we will carry out the following specific aims to fulfill our objective. Aim 1: To strengthen administrative structure and accountability of the HSREP: Aim 2: To strengthen the Bioinformatics Core with a focus on a triad of service and infrastructure, research and cyber-collaboration, and education and training for HSREP institutions and investigators: Aim 3: To centralize education and training activities of the partner institutions through a Training and Education Core: Airri 4: To centralize career development research activities of the partner institutions through a Research Core: Aim 5: To invigorate and strengthen biomedical research capacity of the new College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaii Hilo campus. We are confident that our new leadership, along with the clearly delineated cores described herein, will carry the INBRE program to new heights during this anticipated renewal cycle. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by the applicant): HSREP is embodied by the special opportunities relating the current and future need for well trained, biomedical scientists, and a workforce to power its burgeoning biotechnology programs. Moreover, because of its marine, tropical, and subtropical environments, its demographic diversity, and its location between the United States and the Asia-Pacific region, Hawaii represents a locus for future bioscientific innovations and collaborations. The thematic focus on natural products and neuroscience, through junior investigator research proposals, is intended to provide significant new information related to human health.
