North Dakota INBRE: Health and the Environment

描述(由申请者提供)：北达科他州INBRE成功地实现了IDEA计划的目标，即在该州主要的本科生机构(PUI)建立本科生研究文化，这超出了所有合理的预期。此外，北达科他州的四个PUI中的每一个都发展了一种能够支持和加强这些INBRE赞助的本科生研究项目的文化。ND INBRE还将这些努力推广到美洲原住民社区，成功地在海龟山社区学院建立了一个以遗传学为基础、由本科生驱动的先兆子痫研究项目。最近，美国原住民教师为Cankdeska Cikana社区学院开发了一门研究入门课程，ND INBRE在资助和稳定印第安人进入医学计划的K-12部分方面发挥了带头作用。这个项目培养了全国超过25%的美洲原住民医生。越来越多的证据表明，ND INBRE本科生研究项目正在对进入生物医学研究的本科生产生影响。ND INBRE在来年的一个重点目标将是在网络和图书馆资源之外发展生物信息学。 目标1：继续支持和加强优秀本科生研究计划。 目标2：继续支持和扩大让美国原住民学生参与本科生研究的努力。 目标3：继续支持INMED暑期学院和路径项目。 目标4：继续支持以前建立的蛋白质组学核心基金并继续 开发一种金属分析核心。启动一个尖端生物信息学项目。 目标5：建立以社区为基础的参与性研究核心。 目标6：发展一个网络，鼓励合作伙伴之间的科学和专业互动，并加强学生进入生物医学和行为研究的渠道。 公共卫生相关性(由申请人提供)：ND INBRE的合作伙伴可以声明，该州PUI的所有本科生都有资格并希望有本科生科学研究经验，已经为他们提供了这种职业发展的机会。此外，北达科他州的四个PUI都发展了一种能够支持和加强这些INBRE赞助的本科生研究项目的文化，所有这些项目都提供为期一年的机构内参与本科生研究事业的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The North Dakota INBRE has succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations in fulfilling the IDeA program's goal of establishing an undergraduate research culture in the state's primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). Furthermore, each of the four PUIs in North Dakota have developed a culture capable of sustaining and enhancing these INBRE-sponsored undergraduate research programs. The ND INBRE has also advanced these efforts into the Native American community with the successful establishment of a genetics based, undergraduate-driven research program on pre-eclampsia at Turtle Mountain Community College. An introduction to research course has recently been developed by Native American faculty for the Cankdeska Cikana Community College, the ND INBRE has taken the lead in funding and stabilizing the K-12 portion of the Indians into Medicine Program. This program produces over 25% of the Nation's Native American physicians. Evidence is accumulating that the ND INBRE undergraduate research programs are having an impact on the pipeline of undergraduates entering biomedical research. A focused goal of ND INBRE in the coming year will be to develop bioinformatics beyond wire and library resources. Aim 1: To Continue to Support and Enhance the Outstanding Undergraduate Research Programs. Aim 2: To Continue to Support and Expand Efforts to Engage Native American Students in Undergraduate Research. Aim 3: To Continue to Support the INMED Summer Academy and Pathways Program. Aim 4: To Continue Support for a Previously Established Proteomics Core Facility and Continue Development of a Metal Analysis Core. To Initiate a Cutting-Edge Bioinformatics Program. Aim 5: To Establish a Community-Based Participatory Research Core. Aim 6: The Development of a Network that Encourages Scientific and Professional Interactions Among the Partners and Enhances the Pipeline of Students Entering Biomedical and Behavioral Research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The partners of the ND INBRE can state that all undergraduates in the State's PUIs, that were qualified and desired an undergraduate research experience in science, have been afforded this career-building opportunity. Furthermore, each of the four PUIs in North Dakota have developed a culture capable of sustaining and enhancing these INBRE-sponsored undergraduate research programs, all of which offer year-long, in-institution, participation in the undergraduate research enterprise.
