Rhode Island IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence

培训核心的项目摘要 罗德岛-IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络(RI-INBRE)的首要目标是 在罗德岛州发展生物医学科学能力，这是这方面的关键组成部分之一 努力就是人力资本的发展。国际扶轮-INBRE培训核心由几个非常成功的 专注于这项任务的计划。在续订期间，我们建议增强提供以下服务的计划 指导本科生、研究生和博士后研究员的研究机会。 这将通过提供激励措施来吸引最优秀和最聪明的本科生研究人员来实现 加入我们的计划，特别是那些来自历史上代表性不足的人群。具体地说，我们将与 与罗德岛社区学院(CCRI)、东北部的其他INBRE项目和 INBRE在波多黎各的计划，为来自文化和文化背景的学生提供导师研究奖学金 不同的经济背景。除了实施改革以加强我们现有的夏季 本科生和研究生研究计划以及我们的教学博士后研究员(TPF)计划，我们将 通过引入暑期本科生研究等新举措扩大培训核心的范围 奖学金+(SURF+)和毕业后(Postbac)计划。此外，我们计划与一家NIH合作 科学教育合作伙伴奖(SEPA)计划，面向有兴趣的高中生 追求生物医学科学的事业。在这样做的过程中，我们将既加强和扩大生物医学 海洋之州的科学管道。

Project Summary for Training Core The overarching goal of Rhode Island-IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (RI-INBRE) is to develop the capacity for biomedical science in the State of Rhode Island, and one of the key components of this endeavor is the development of human capital. The RI-INBRE Training Core consists of several highly successful programs that have focused on this task. In the renewal period, we propose to enhance programs that provide mentored research opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows. This will be accomplished by providing incentives for attracting the best and brightest undergraduate researchers into our program, especially those from historically underrepresented populations. Specifically, we will partner with the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI), with other INBRE programs in the Northeast, and with the INBRE program in Puerto Rico to provide mentored research fellowships to students from culturally and economically diverse backgrounds. In addition to implementing changes to strengthen both our existing summer undergraduate and graduate research programs and our Teaching Postdoctoral Fellows (TPF) program, we will expand the scope of the Training Core by introducing new initiatives such as Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Plus (SURF+) and Postbaccalaureate (Postbac) programs. In addition, we plan to partner with a NIH Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program that targets high school students who are interested in pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences. In so doing, we will both strengthen and expand the biomedical science pipeline in the Ocean State.
