DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oklahoma's IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (OK-INBRE) will build capacity to carry out biomedical research by supporting promising new faculty, recruiting students into biomedical careers, sustaining vital core facilities, and performing statewide K-12 outreach through a network of community colleges. The OK-INBRE Network is diverse, comprising two research-intensive institutions, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), whose primary missions are biomedical research, education and patient care, as well as six primarily undergraduate institutions and four community colleges. The Network includes Oklahoma's only Historically Black College and University, a primarily undergraduate institution with the highest number of Native Americans of any college in the nation, Oklahoma's largest tribal college, and other institutions with large numbers of students from underrepresented groups. The research themes are multi-disciplinary, spanning the fields of Microbiology & Immunology, Cancer, and Developmental Biology. This thematic focus is closely linked with the strategic research plans of the two lead biomedical research-intensive institutions. INBRE will support research in these disciplines by four investigators from the primarily undergraduate institutions and two each from OUHSC and OMRF. The goal of research support through INBRE will be enhancing the opportunity for these promising new investigators to develop independent research programs. Each participating investigator will be expected to develop new external grant applications to support their research projects within 24 months of the commencement of the INBRE grant. In addition, smaller grants for research and equipment will be allocated to the primarily undergraduate institutions through an annual peer reviewed competition. Support for undergraduate students will be provided by summer internships and participation in the faculty research projects. The undergraduate science curriculum at the primarily undergraduate institutions will be reformed to a more multi-disciplinary approach. INBRE will also support a Bioinformatics Core facility at OUHSC. Several accessory cores comprising a network of bioinformatics facilities supporting functional genomics research, and a small animal imaging facility, will be available to INBRE investigators via vouchers for research applications. INBRE support for faculty and student research, curriculum development, core facilities, and K-12 outreach will allow us to continue to build Oklahoma's student pipeline and enhance our efforts to become nationally competitive in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：俄克拉荷马州的IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（OK-INBRE）将通过支持有前途的新教师，招募学生进入生物医学职业，维持重要的核心设施，并通过社区学院网络进行全州K-12推广，来建立开展生物医学研究的能力。OK-INBRE网络是多样化的，包括两个研究密集型机构，俄克拉荷马州健康科学中心（OUHSC）和俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会（OMRF），其主要任务是生物医学研究，教育和病人护理，以及六个主要的本科院校和四个社区学院。该网络包括俄克拉荷马州唯一的历史上黑人学院和大学，一个主要的本科院校，拥有全国任何大学中最多的美洲原住民，俄克拉荷马州最大的部落学院，以及其他拥有大量来自代表性不足群体的学生的机构。研究主题是多学科的，跨越微生物学和免疫学，癌症和发育生物学领域。这一专题重点与两个领先的生物医学研究密集型机构的战略研究计划密切相关。INBRE将支持这些学科的研究，由来自主要本科院校的四名研究人员和来自OUHSC和OMRF的两名研究人员进行。通过INBRE提供研究支持的目标是为这些有前途的新研究人员提供更多机会，以开发独立的研究项目。每位参与研究的研究者将在INBRE资助开始后的24个月内开发新的外部资助申请，以支持他们的研究项目。此外，将通过年度同行评审竞争，向主要是本科院校分配用于研究和设备的小额赠款。对本科生的支持将通过暑期实习和参与教师研究项目来提供。以本科为主的院校的本科理科课程将进行改革，以采用更多学科的方法。INBRE还将支持OUHSC的生物信息学核心设施。几个附属核心包括支持功能基因组学研究的生物信息学设施网络，以及一个小动物成像设施，将通过研究应用凭证提供给INBRE研究人员。INBRE对教师和学生研究，课程开发，核心设施和K-12外展的支持将使我们能够继续建立俄克拉荷马州的学生管道，并加强我们在生物医学研究方面的国家竞争力。
