描述(申请人提供)：PI是USDSM的细胞生理学家， 每四年有一名博士研究生，没有技术支持，50% 教学责任重大，没有其他人分享研究设备和想法 在定期的基础上。因此，很难继续留在采伐现场 研究的边缘，没有强有力的研究费用的机构支持 对于那些在赠款之间的时间，以及在发现成果方面的一些运气 合作。1998年，美国农业部将其四个非常独立的基础 科学部门合并为基础生物医学科学部。一个 主要原因是刺激了跨学科研究的发展 合作。这个部门的组织已经达到了它的目的 效果，见证了美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)中心的授予 2000年获得神经科学生物医学研究杰出奖(CBREAN)。 这个应用程序，为了在细胞生长控制领域创造一个布林， 继续美国农业部S努力发展具有国家竞争力的研究 重点领域的方案。SD-BRIN包括USDSM、奥古斯塔纳学院 (AUGC)、黑山州立大学(BHSU)和西塞顿/瓦佩顿社区 学院(SWCC)，一所小型部落学院。每个机构都有独特的使命 和学生人数。SD-Brin的目标是发展研究 南达科他州在控制细胞生长和发展方面的能力 生物医学专业本科生和研究生的人力资源 南达科他州的理工学院。这些目标将通过以下方式实现：1)改善 生物信息学/网络的电子通信能力 机构通过加强图书馆资源建设，增强宽带 交流、SD-Brin网站的开发和Brin的生产 用于网络现场教育的赞助学习模块；和2)招聘 以及一大批初级教员、研究生和 本科生研究人员，创建蛋白质组学和功能 支持细胞生长领域研究的基因组学设施 控制力。SD-Brin的长期目标是发展全州范围的网络 具有国家竞争力的独立调查人员共同努力研究 细胞生长控制。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The PI is a cell physiologist USDSM, with one Ph.D. graduate student every four years, no technical support, 50% teaching responsibility, and no one else to share research equipment and ideas with on a regular basis. Thus, it is very difficult to remain at the cutting edge of research, without strong institutional support of research expenses for those times in between grants, and some luck in finding fruitful collaborations. In 1998 USDSM combined its four very independent basic science departments into a single Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences. A major reason was to stimulate the development of interdisciplinary research collaborations. The organization of this division has had its intended effect, witness the awarding of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence Award in Neuroscience (CBREAN) in 2000. This application, to create a BRIN in the area of cellular growth control, continues the USDSM?s efforts to develop nationally competitive research programs in focused areas. The SD-BRIN includes the USDSM, Augustana College (AUGC), Black Hills State University (BHSU) and Sisseton/Wahpeton Community College (SWCC), a small tribal college. Each institution has a unique mission and student population. The goals of the SD-BRIN are to develop the research capacity of South Dakota in the area of control of cell growth, and to develop human resources for undergraduate and graduate programs in the biomedical sciences in South Dakota. These goals will be met by: 1) improving the bioinformatics/electronic communication capabilities of the network institutions through library resource enhancement, enhanced broadband communication, development of a SD-BRIN web site and production of BRIN sponsored learning modules for network on-site education; and 2) recruitment and career development of a critical mass of junior faculty, graduate and undergraduate student researchers, and creation of proteomics and functional genomics facilities to support research in the area of cellular growth control. The long-term SD-BRIN goal is the development of a statewide network of nationally competitive, independent investigators working together to study cellular growth control.
