DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) here presents an application for continued support for the Kansas IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (K-INBRE). The K-INBRE links KUMC (Lead Institution) with the two other major doctoral-degree-granting institutions in Kansas (University of Kansas-Lawrence, KU-L; Kansas State University, KSU) as Graduate Partner Institutions (GPI) and with seven Undergraduate Partner Institutions (UPI). UPI include six Kansas undergraduate campuses (Emporia State University, Ft. Hays State University, Haskell Indian Nations University, Pittsburgh State University, Washburn University, Wichita State University) and Langston University (Langston, OK). Haskell Indian Nations University and Langston University increase diversity in the network as the first is devoted to education and training of native Americans and the second enrolls primarily black undergraduates. The long-range objective of the Kansas program is to strengthen the state's research capacity in Cell and Developmental Biology by building on the successes of the current K-INBRE. The size, structure and operational principles of the K-INBRE, which include strong emphasis on training for biomedical research, networking and intercampus communication and the establishment of a sophisticated bioinformatics program, were established during the previous years of support. These goals remain basically the same as the K-INBRE has had a major positive impact on biomedical research in the State of Kansas. Programs conducted by the K-INBRE have had measurable success in reaching their stated goals as well as those of the NCRR IDeA program. The Specific Aims proposed for the next phase of the K-INBRE are to (1) maintain and improve the current multi-disciplinary research network in Cell and Developmental Biology with efficient administration and focus on networking, (2) enhance science and technology knowledge and integration by offering sophisticated bioinformatics technology and education, (3) facilitate translational research via bidirectional exchange of basic and clinical scientist training opportunities. Within these Aims, new features that improve the K-INBRE include broadening funding for research careers together with improvements in oversight and the mentoring process, promoting an integrated systems biology approach within our bioinformatics network, and incorporating training for translational research into the K-INBRE goals so as to smooth the progress of scientific discoveries into the clinical arena. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Research in cell and developmental biology is essential to advancing our understanding of cellular processes of health and disease. Such research relies on generation of a strong, well educated workforce, ready availability of the tools of discovery and emphasis on applying the results of discovery research to problems of human health. In building a distinguished center of research in cell and developmental biology in Kansas, the K-INBRE vigorously pursues all three of these key strategies.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学医学中心（KUMC）在此提交了一份申请，要求继续支持堪萨斯IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（K-INBRE）。K-INBRE将KUMC（牵头机构）与堪萨斯的其他两个主要博士学位授予机构（堪萨斯-劳伦斯大学，KU-L;堪萨斯州立大学，KSU）作为研究生合作机构（GPI）和七个本科生合作机构（UPI）联系起来。UPI包括六个堪萨斯本科校园（恩波里亚州立大学，英尺。海斯州立大学、哈斯凯尔印第安民族大学、匹兹堡州立大学、沃什伯恩大学、威奇托州立大学）和兰斯顿大学（兰斯顿，OK）。哈斯克尔印第安民族大学和兰斯顿大学增加了网络的多样性，因为第一所大学致力于教育和培训美洲土著人，第二所大学主要招收黑人本科生。堪萨斯计划的长期目标是通过建立在当前K-INBRE的成功基础上，加强该州在细胞和发育生物学方面的研究能力。K-INBRE的规模，结构和业务原则，其中包括大力强调生物医学研究，网络和校园间通信的培训，并建立一个先进的生物信息学计划，是在前几年的支持中建立的。这些目标基本保持不变，因为K-INBRE对堪萨斯州的生物医学研究产生了重大的积极影响。K-INBRE开展的项目在实现其既定目标以及NCRR IDEA项目的目标方面取得了可衡量的成功。K-INBRE下一阶段的具体目标是：（1）通过有效的管理和网络化，保持和改善细胞和发育生物学目前的多学科研究网络，（2）通过提供先进的生物信息学技术和教育，加强科学和技术知识和整合，（3）通过基础和临床科学家培训机会的双向交流促进转化研究。在这些目标中，改进K-INBRE的新功能包括扩大对研究职业的资助，以及监督和指导过程的改进，在我们的生物信息学网络中推广综合系统生物学方法，并将转化研究的培训纳入K-INBRE目标，以便使科学发现顺利进入临床竞技场。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：细胞和发育生物学研究对于促进我们对健康和疾病细胞过程的理解至关重要。这种研究依赖于培养一支强大的、受过良好教育的劳动力队伍，随时提供发现工具，并强调将发现研究的结果应用于人类健康问题。在堪萨斯建立一个杰出的细胞和发育生物学研究中心的过程中，K-INBRE积极追求所有这三个关键战略。
