西弗吉尼亚州是一个历史上成功率最低的州，从 国立卫生研究院，并被指定为理想之州。在这次更新中 申请，马歇尔大学(MU)将与西弗吉尼亚大学(WVU)合作， 继续在西弗吉尼亚IDEA生物医学研究网络的成功基础上继续发展 卓越(WV-INBRE)，帮助发展生物医学研究基础设施和能力 在整个网络中，并为本科生和 来自合作院校的研究生。MU将与西弗吉尼亚大学合作，继续 作为一个由14个主要是本科生组成的研究网络的牵头机构 机构(PUI)/伙伴机构。WV-INBRE的多学科主题将是细胞 和分子生物学，重点是慢性病(癌症、心血管疾病、 糖尿病、肥胖相关疾病和成瘾)。支持网络的活动将是 已建立的行政、生物信息学和基因组学核心 促进研究进展、指导和培训以及调查人员的职业发展 以及主要和合作机构的学生。网络中的研究将由以下人员支持 主要PUI研究奖、学院研究发展奖(FRDAS)和 天然产物研究、癌症生物学研究和慢性病研究计划 试点项目奖励。与WV Cobres，健康科学和技术学院的联系 (HSTA；NIH资助的SEPA项目)和WV IDEA-CTR(WVCTSI)将扩大。 拟议的项目将为PUI学生提供研究机会，包括暑期 研究计划、HSTA学者计划和发展研究项目计划 帮助这些学生成为进入健康相关研究职业的渠道。HSTA高 学校的科学教师和合作院校的教员也将在暑期获得资助。 领先机构和网络机构的研究机会。通过开设工作坊， 研讨会、研究培训和指导，以及访问最先进的核心设施，WV- INBRE将有助于增强WV的科技知识和技能基础 劳动力。

West Virginia is a State that has had a historically low success rate in obtaining grant funds from the National Institutes of Health and has been designated as an IDeA state. In this renewal application, Marshall University (MU), in partnership with West Virginia University (WVU), will continue to build on the success of the West Virginia IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (WV-INBRE) to help develop biomedical research infrastructure and capacity throughout the network and provide biomedical research experiences for undergraduate and graduate students from the partner institutions. MU, in partnership with WVU, will continue to serve as lead institutions to a research network consisting of fourteen primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs)/partner institutions. The multi-disciplinary theme for WV-INBRE will be cellular and molecular biology with an emphasis on chronic disease (cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity-related illness and addiction). Supporting the activities of the network will be the Administrative, Bioinformatics and Genomics Cores which have been established to facilitate research progress, mentoring and training, and career development of investigators and students at the lead and partner institutions. Research in the network will be supported by major PUI research awards, Faculty Research Development Awards (FRDAs), and Center for Natural Products Research, Cancer Biology Research and Chronic Disease Research Program pilot project awards. Ties to WV COBREs, the Health Sciences and Technology Academy (HSTA; an NIH-funded SEPA program) and the WV IDeA-CTR (WVCTSI) will be expanded.. Proposed programs will provide research opportunities for PUI students, including the summer research program, HSTA Scholar initiative, and the Developmental Research Project Program to help serve as a pipeline for these students into health-related research careers. HSTA high school science teachers and partner institution faculty fellows will also be provided summer research opportunities at the lead and network institutions. Through providing workshops, seminars, research training and mentoring, and access to state-of-the-art core facilities, WV- INBRE will help enhance the science and technology knowledge and skill base of the WV workforce.
