Nevada IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE)

 描述（由申请人提供）：本提案延续了2005年启动的内华达州IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（NV INBRE）的发展。在以前的资助期间，我们建立了一个连接内华达州主要研究和教育机构的行政网络，我们支持研究人员和全州范围的研究服务核心，我们通过生物医学学生管道来增加内华达州劳动力的科学和技术知识，该管道指导学生，包括在生物医学科学中代表不足的学生。在这项更新提案中，我们通过开发新的项目来支持研究细胞生长和分化，扩大我们的学生发展渠道，并将新的机构纳入我们的网络，从而巩固这些成就。该项目将（1）实施发展研究项目（DRP）和试点资助（PG）计划，以增加研究细胞生长和分化，（2）继续提供生物信息学核心提供的资源和服务，和（3）扩大生物医学学生管道创建外展/多样性/管道（ODP）计划，以准备学生就读于2-和4-一年的教育和研究调查细胞生长和分化的职业计划。此外，NV INBRE将翻新内华达州州立学院的实验室空间，以创建一个设施，支持本科生和教师进行细胞生长和分化的真实研究。所有活动将由一个行政核心协调，直接负责合规，管理项目资金，促进网络中的沟通，监督所有研究活动，协调教师和学生的培训和指导，并进行评估，跟踪和评估。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal continues the development of the Nevada IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (NV INBRE) initiated in 2005. During the previous funding periods we established an administrative network linking the major research and education institutions in Nevada, we supported researchers and statewide research service cores, and we increased the science and technology knowledge of Nevada's workforce through a Biomedical Student Pipeline that mentored students, including students under-represented in biomedical science. In this renewal proposal, we build on these accomplishments by developing new programs supporting research investigating Cell Growth and Differentiation, by expanding our student development pipeline, and by bringing new institutions into our network. The project will (1) implement a Developmental Research Project (DRP) and Pilot Grant (PG) Program to increase research investigating Cell Growth and Differentiation, (2) continue to provide resources and services provided by the Bioinformatics Core, and (3) expand the Biomedical Student Pipeline creating the Outreach / Diversity / Pipeline (ODP) Program to prepare students enrolled in 2- and 4-year programs for education and careers in research investigating Cell Growth and Differentiation. In addition, the NV INBRE will renovate laboratory space at Nevada State College to create a facility that will support authentic research investigating Cell Growth and Differentiation by their undergraduate students and faculty. All activities will be coordinated by an Administrative Core with direct responsibilit for compliance, managing program funding, facilitating communication in the network, overseeing all research activities, coordinating training and mentoring for faculty and students, and performing assessment, tracking, and evaluation.
