North Dakota INBRE Health and the Environment

北达科他州是一个土地面积大、农村人口少、分布广的州。这些 这些特点促使ND INBRE狭隘地、积极地专注于为以下方面提供机会： 国家的服务不足的学生参加本科和K-12活动，将刺激 有兴趣加入国家的健康专业管道。到目前为止，ND INBRE已经形成有效的， 与所有国家支持的四年制本科院校（PUI）建立富有成效的伙伴关系， 所有部落学院（TCU）位于ND边界内。此外，ND INBRE提供注册 为所有初中和高中，鼓励学生参加地区，州， 和国家科学与工程博览会计划。这些伙伴关系因成功的努力而得到加强 ND INBRE改善和提供基础设施的研究密集型大学（RLU）和 PUI和TCU合作伙伴。这些努力将在本供资周期继续进行， 我们的社区学院在夏季本科研究计划的参与。强调 本科研究将继续作为ND INBRE将资助7研究发展赠款在4 PUI机构，5个部落学院的5个学生动力试点赠款和50个暑期本科生 夏季研究奖学金主要在RIU机构。明星转会计划将鼓励 从2年TCU毕业的美国印第安学生完成学士学位， 科学和工程博览会计划将鼓励本科生报名参加STEM课程 ND高等院校。继PUI和TCU研究计划的奖项，竞争力 将向RIU机构提供导师和核心基础设施方面的支持。ND INBRE建议 继续其在服务北达科他州的下一代发展的出色表现， 生物医学研究科学家和卫生专业人员。

North Dakota is a state with a large land mass and a small, widely dispersed rural population. These characteristics motivated the ND INBRE to focus narrowly and aggressively on providing opportunities for the State's under-served students to participate in undergraduate and K-12 activities that would stimulate interest in joining the Nation's health professional pipeline. To date, the ND INBRE has formed effective and productive partnerships with all the state-supported four year primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and all Tribal Colleges (TCUs) located within the borders of ND. In addition, the ND INBRE provides registration for all junior and senior high schools as encouragement for their students to participate in the regional, state, and national Science and Engineering Fair program. These partnerships are enhanced by successful efforts of the ND INBRE to improve and provide infrastructure to the research intensive universities (RlUs) and the PUI and TCU partners. These efforts will be continued in the current funding cycle with the additional participation of our community colleges in the summer undergraduate research program. The emphasis on undergraduate research will continue as the ND INBRE will fund 7 Research Development Grants at the 4 PUI institutions, 5 Student Powered Pilot Grants at the 5 Tribal Colleges, and 50 Summer Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowships primarily at the RIU institutions. The Transfer Stars program will encourage American Indian students graduating from 2 yr TCUs to complete their baccalaureate degrees and the Science and Engineering Fair program will encourage undergraduate enrollment in STEM programs at all ND institutions of higher learning. Following the award of the PUI and TCU research programs, competitive support for mentors and core infrastructure will be provided to the RIU institutions. The ND INBRE proposes to continue its outstanding performance in serving North Dakota's development of the next generation of biomedical research scientists and health professionals.
