MT INBRE II: A Multidisciplinary Research Network

MT INBRE III有两个主要目标：1)维护和进一步发展蒙大拿州的网络和学生管道 并利用这个网络来解决蒙大拿州农村和土著社区在 健康差距和2)利用其网络加强蒙大拿州农村和土著之间的合作 社区、TCS和其他学术机构，并使TCS成为部落卫生研究的渠道 农村卫生研究的保留地和公共渠道。该计划将支持和指导 主要来自本科院校(PUI)、研究型大学和部落学院(TCS)的研究人员 通过旨在解决蒙大拿州农村和部落健康差距的社区参与项目 社区。MT INBRE III将扩大与蒙大拿州和 在西部创意区域网络中最大限度地利用资源、协作和机会 可供蒙大拿州的研究人员和学生使用。该计划的具体目标包括：1)加强 通过继续发展共享设施，蒙大拿州的生物医学和生物信息学基础设施， 研究协作、专注的工作组和培训机会，通过继续 在蒙大拿州立大学(MSU)支持社区参与和生物信息学核心，这将 在全州范围的MT INBRE III网络中为调查人员服务；2)为 蒙大拿州的原住民和非原住民学生从事健康研究并增加科学和 该州劳动力的技术知识；3)指导和发展健康差距 社会和行为科学的研究人员，并与传染病和 环境卫生调查人员以维持和发展跨学科生物医学研究网络；以及 目标4：制定和支持MT INBRE III网络调查人员的可持续研究举措 将缓解蒙大拿州农村和美洲原住民社区的健康差距。

MT INBRE III has two main goals: 1) maintain and further develop the Montana network and student pipeline and utilize this network to address the unique problems Montana's rural and Native communities face in health disparities and 2) utilize its network to strengthen collaborations among Montana's rural and Native communities, TCs and other academic institutions and to make TCs a conduit for tribal health research on the reservations and PUIs conduits for rural health research. The program will support and mentor investigators from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), research universities, and tribal colleges (TCs) through community engagement projects designed to address health disparities in Montana's rural and tribal communities. MT INBRE III will expand its partnerships with other programs and institutions in Montana and in the Western IDeA Regional Network to maximize the resources, collaborations, and opportunities available to Montana's researchers and students. The program's Specific Aims include 1) strengthening Montana's biomedical and bioinformatics infrastructure through continued development of shared facilities, research collaborations, focused working groups, and training opportunities, accomplished by continuing to support at Montana State University (MSU) the Community Engagement and Bioinformatics Cores that will serve investigators in the statewide MT INBRE III network; 2) developing a continuous pipeline for Montana's Native and non-Native students to careers in health research and increasing the scientific and technological knowledge of the state's workforce; 3) mentoring and developing health disparities investigators in the social and behavioral sciences and partnering them with infectious disease and environmental health investigators to sustain and grow an interdisciplinary biomedical research network; and Aim 4: developing and supporting sustainable research initiatives by MT INBRE III network investigators that will mitigate health disparities in Montana's rural and Native American communities.
