Developmental Research Project Program

MTINBRE IV的总体目标是：1)维持和进一步发展蒙大拿州的研究网络 和学生渠道，以及2)利用这个网络来解决蒙大拿州农村地区严重的健康差距 原住民社区面临着。为了实现这些目标，MT INBRE IV的一个关键组成部分是开发 蒙大拿州合作机构的多学科研究能力，其中主要包括5个 本科院校(PUI)、7所部落学院(TCS)和2所主要研究型大学。满足这些要求 将部分通过实施新的发展研究项目来实现目标 计划(DRPP)，它是INBRE I-III的原始研究核心的扩展。实现DRPP的 目标将导致一个全州范围的跨学科研究网络，专注于解决重大的健康问题 在蒙大拿州的农村和部落社区中，加强劳动力、研究和学生培训 横跨MT的管道。与MT INBRE IV的管理、MT Idea社区参与以及 以生物信息学和生物统计学为核心，DRPP将为整个网络的调查人员提供机会 制定以健康差距为重点的研究项目。在该州的原住民中至关重要 美国和农村社区将是关于复原力、心理健康和自杀预防、营养、 粮食安全/主权和代谢性疾病。重要的是，DRPP不仅寻求发展 成功的研究项目不仅是为了通过协调一致的指导努力培养他们的未来。因此， DRPP投资于调查人员自身的成功职业轨迹和发展 一批致力于生物医学研究事业的学生。DRPP将实现三个具体目标。 目标1：继续发展已建立的多学科健康差距研究网络，以加强 生物医学研究专业知识和基础设施覆盖整个蒙大拿州，并扩大其范围和能力。特定的 目标2：通过为以下项目提供研究支持，扩大MT INBRE网络的研究基础和能力 教师、博士后研究员和研究生。具体目标3：提供研究机会 本科生和研究生，将创造一个专注于健康研究的学生渠道 事业。

The overarching goals of MT INBRE IV are to 1) maintain and further develop the Montana research network and student pipeline, and 2) utilize this network to address the serious health disparities that Montana's rural and Native communities face. To achieve these goals, a key component of MT INBRE IV is to develop multidisciplinary research capacity across Montana's partner institutions, which include 5 primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), 7 tribal colleges (TCs) and 2 major research universities. Meeting these goals will be accomplished, in part, through the implementation of the new Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP), which is an extension of the original Research Core from INBRE I-III. Achieving the DRPP's goal will lead to a statewide interdisciplinary research network focused on addressing significant health issues among Montana's rural and tribal communities and strengthening the workforce, research, and student-training pipeline across MT. Collaborating with MT INBRE IV's Administrative, MT IDeA Community Engagement, and Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Cores, the DRPP will provide opportunities for investigators across the network to develop research programs focused on health disparities. Of critical importance in the state's Native American and rural communities will be projects on resiliency, mental health and suicide prevention, nutrition, food security/sovereignty, and metabolic diseases. Importantly, the DRPP seeks not only to develop successful research projects but also to foster their future through a concerted mentoring effort. As such, the DRPP is invested in the successful career trajectory of the investigators themselves and in the development of a pipeline of students dedicated to careers in biomedical research. The DRPP will achieve three specific aims. Aim 1: Continue to develop the established multi-disciplinary health disparities research network to strengthen biomedical research expertise and infrastructure across Montana and expand its scope and capacity. Specific Aim 2: Expand the research base and capacity across the MT INBRE network by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Specific Aim 3: Provide research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students that will create a pipeline of students focused on health research careers.
