IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence

这是一项继续发展内华达州IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络(NV INBRE)的建议，该网络始于2005年。在第一个资助期间，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，我们支持这些机构的研究人员，并建立和扩大了一系列全州范围的研究服务中心。此外，我们建立和发展了一个生物医学学生管道计划，指导内华达州社区大学招收的代表人数不足的学生。在下面的提案中，我们描述了将继续发展我们的多学科研究网络的计划。这项研究的科学重点将是“细胞生长和分化”。我们的具体目标是：1)我们将通过有针对性地招聘新的研究人员，并通过为教师、博士后研究员和研究生提供研究和指导支持，来发展东道主和合作机构的研究基础和能力。我们正在扩展NV INBRE的这一组成部分，以包括翻译和社区参与项目。2)我们将支持和发展生物信息学、基因组学、蛋白质组学、细胞学、共焦成像、组织学和活体动物成像方面的研究服务核心，为东道主、合作伙伴和外联机构的研究人员和学生提供服务。3)我们将加强INBRE学生发展渠道，增加针对本科生的指导和研究项目(在两个新的外展机构增加项目)，支持外展机构教师发展的小额助学金，并启动一项配备和支持K-12科学教师的计划。4)我们将与加州大学戴维斯分校临床和翻译科学中心合作开发临床管道，为东道主和合作伙伴机构的医学生、医学住院医师和教职员工提供临床和翻译研究方面的培训。5)我们将通过共同资助州际合作种子基金、本科生州际研究机会、地区性科学和项目会议以及地区性资源交流，扩大西部IDEA地区的研究机会

This is a proposal to continue the development of the Nevada IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (NV INBRE) initiated in 2005. During the first funding period we established an administrative network linking the major research and education institutions in Nevada, we supported researchers at these institutions, and we established and expanded a series of statewide research service cores. In addition, we established and developed a Biomedical Students Pipeline program that mentors under-represented students enrolled in Nevada community colleges. In the following proposal, we describe programs that will continue the development of our multidisciplinary research network. The scientific focus of this development will be "Cell Growth and Differentiation." Our Specific Aims are: 1) We will develop the research base and capacity at the host and partner institutions with targeted hires of new researchers and by providing research and mentoring support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. We are expanding this component of the NV INBRE to include translational and community engagement projects. 2) We will support and develop research service cores in bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, cytometry, confocal imaging, histology, and live animal imaging that will serve researchers and students at the host, partner, and outreach institutions. 3) We will enhance the INBRE student development pipeline by increasing mentoring and research programs for undergraduate students (adding programs at two new Outreach Institutions), supporting small grants for faculty development at the outreach institutions, and by initiating a program to equip and support science teachers in K-12. 4) We will develop a Clinical Pipeline in collaboration with the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center that will provide training in clinical and translational research for medical students, medical residents, and faculty at the host and partner institutions. 5) We will expand research opportunities across the Western IDeA Region by jointly funding Collaborative Interstate Seed Grants, Undergraduate Student Interstate Research Opportunities, Regional Scientific and Programmatic Meetings, and a Regional Resource Exchange
