密西西比州INBRE 发展研究项目计划 项目摘要/摘要 在此续订申请中，MS INBRE将利用独特的 密西西比州的学术和文化环境显著增加了竞争对手的数量 主要是本科院校(PUI)的生物医学研究人员，并提高整体生物医学 密西西比州的基础设施。MS INBRE的科学主题集中在严峻的健康挑战和 密西西比州的差异--即癌症、传染病和肥胖。发展性研究 MS INBRE的项目计划(DRPP)旨在提高生物医学研究中的人力资本 通过支持合作伙伴PUI的调查人员，特别是少数群体服务机构，支持MS的企业 (MSIS)，协助PUI招聘优秀初级教师，培训学生生物医学 研究，并为专业发展提供机会。特别是，我们将促进接触 在PUIS的研究中，通过与领导层合作，将教师从教学中解放出来，创造或更新 实验室空间，购买和维护设备，以及购买研究用品。通过以下方式提供支持 DRPP已经导致了校外资金，例如给米尔萨普斯学院的R15，以及许多PUI同行审查 出版物。该计划将通过以下三个方面具体应对这些挑战/机遇 具体目标：1)资助项目发展补助金(PDGs)和研究启动补助金(RIG)以支持 生物医学研究，最大限度地促进学生参与研究；2)提供招聘资金，以促进 聘请有经验的、积极从事研究的初级教员到PUI；以及3)提供场所，建立 社区专注于卓越的研究和专业发展机会来为Pui 调查人员。我们在上一个供资期间的经验表明，这种做法将导致 增加PUI的生物医学研究，招聘更多专注于研究的PUI教师，并提供 为本科生提供额外的直接实践研究体验。这些活动还将加强 具有研究成分的STEM课程将在未来多年对学生产生积极影响。

MISSISSIPPI INBRE DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH PROJECT PROGRAM Project Summary/Abstract In this renewal application, the MS INBRE will leverage extensive experience and successes within the unique academic and cultural environment of Mississippi to significantly increase the number of competitive biomedical investigators at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and enhance the overall biomedical infrastructure in Mississippi. The MS INBRE's scientific themes focus on severe health challenges and disparities in Mississippi – namely, cancer, infectious diseases, and obesity. The Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP) for the MS INBRE is designed to grow the human capital within biomedical research enterprises in MS through supporting investigators at partner PUIs, particularly Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), assisting with recruitment of outstanding junior faculty to PUIs, training students in biomedical research, and providing opportunities for professional development. In particular, we will facilitate engagement in research at the PUIs via working with leadership to release faculty from teaching, create or renovate laboratory space, purchase and maintain equipment, and purchase research supplies. Support through the DRPP has led to extramural funding, such as an R15 to Millsaps College, and numerous PUI peer-reviewed publications. This program will specifically address these challenges/opportunities through the following three specific aims: 1) Fund Project Development Grants (PDGs) and Research Initiation Grants (RIGs) to support biomedical research and maximize student participation in research; 2) Provide Recruitment Funds to promote the hire of accomplished, research-active junior faculty to PUIs; and 3) Provide venues for building a community focused on excellence in research and a professional development opportunities to PUI investigators. Our experience during the previous funding period has shown that such an approach will lead to increase biomedical research at PUIs, recruitment of more research focused PUI faculty, and provide additional direct hands-on research experiences for undergraduate students. These activities will also enhance STEM courses with research components which will positively impact students for many years to come.
