IDEA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence

描述（由申请人提供）：内华达州INBRE（N-INBRE）提案的重点是促进多机构合作，并通过主要州立机构（位于里诺的内华达州大学、位于拉斯维加斯的内华达州大学和内华达州癌症研究所）有前途的初级教师促进成功的科学研究。这将成为这些调查人员今后独立供资的基础。N-INBRE的研究主题是“细胞生长和分化”，项目（2-3年）旨在生成初步数据，并为未来成功的R 01 - 1级提供支持。N-INBRE结合了各个方面，以优化支持，并确保初级教师的研究取得成功。其中包括：1）将教师与资金充足和成功的导师配对，以帮助他们发展科学计划和职业生涯，2）建立研讨会，模拟学习部分和指导指导委员会，以监督专业成长和科学卓越，3）建立由世界知名科学家组成的外部咨询委员会，4）开发和优化各种尖端技术相关的核心 包括生物信息学，基因组学，蛋白质组学和成像/组织学中心，5）建立教育推广计划，为对科学感兴趣的学生开发管道，6）使用 奖学金/交流计划，允许教师在内华达州实验室工作，并允许N-INBRE初级教师在国家癌症研究所的实验室度过一段时间。这些和其他方面将在N-INBRE中使用，将允许在内华达州进行生物医学研究的初级教师的成功发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The focus of the Nevada INBRE (N-INBRE) proposal is to promote multi-institutional cooperation and facilitate successful scientific research by promising junior faculty at the major state institutions (University of Nevada at Reno, University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and the Nevada Cancer Institute). This will form the basis for future independent funding by these investigators. The research theme of the N-INBRE is "Cell Growth and Differentiation" and the projects (2-3 years in length) are designed to generate preliminary data and to allow for future successful R01-1evel support. The N-INBRE has incorporated various facets to optimize support and ensure success of the research by the junior faculty. These include: 1) pairing of the faculty with well-funded and successful mentors to aid in development of their scientific program and career, 2) establishment of workshops, mock study sections, and a mentoring steering committee to oversee professional growth and scientific excellence, 3) establishment of an external advisory board consisting of World-renown scientists, 4) development and optimization of various cutting-edge technology related cores including bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, and imaging/histology centers, 5) establishment of an educational outreach program to develop a pipeline for students interested in science, 6) use of a fellowship/exchange program allowing faculty to work at the Nevada laboratories and to allow the N-INBRE junior faculty to spend time at laboratories at the National Cancer Institute. These and other facets will be employed in the N-INBRE will allow for successful development of junior faculty doing biomedical research in Nevada.
