DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) proposes here the creation of the Puerto Rico Alliance for the Advancement of Biomedical Research Excellence (PRAABRE). This proposal is in response to and compliant with RFA number RR-03-010 that invited applications for IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence. This is a competitive renewal application for our previous grant number P20 RR-16470 that created the BRIN-PR network. The main goals of the Puerto Rico Alliance for Biomedical Research Excellence (PRAABRE) proposal are: 1) to enhance and strengthen the scientific infrastructure and research competitiveness of the Commonwealth in three specific research areas deemed to be key to advance Puerto Rico's biomedical and behavioral research capacity; 2) to elevate the productivity, competitiveness, and number of human resources needed to attract established investigators in those research areas; and 3) to promote the development of research skills of talented junior investigators and gifted students. The scientific areas to be enhanced and strengthen were selected by the PRAABRE Steering Committee after consensus of all participating institutions, and these are Neuroscience, Drug Design and Delivery, and Molecular Medicine. These goals will be achieved by creating and establishing (a) an Administrative Core, (b) a Bioinformatics Core, (c) a Research Core, and (d) an Outreach Core on three thematic scientific areas. The Administrative Core will provide administrative and logistical support to the research networks. The Bioinformatics Core, housed at the High Performance Computing facility (HPCf) of UPR, will provide access to technical expertise and data analysis tools for the researchers within the three thematic research clusters. The Research Core of PRAABRE will support three initiatives: the DNA Sequencing and Multilocus Genotyping Facility, the UPR-Proteomics Facility, and the Access to Biomedical Electronic Scientific lnformatics (ABESI) project. The Outreach Core will create programs for support of junior researchers and students (graduate and undergraduate) as well as other Professional Development opportunities to investigators within the Researcher Clusters (Neuroscience, Molecular Medicine and Drug Design and Development), and an immersive research experience program for high school teachers and students. Finally, PRAABRE will host 11 research subprojects in five primarily undergraduate institutions in Puerto Rico.

描述（由申请人提供）：波多黎各大学（UPR）在这里提出了在生物医学研究卓越（PRAABRE）发展的波多黎各联盟的创建。该建议是对RFA编号RR-03-010的响应，该提案邀请了卓越生物医学研究的想法网络的应用程序。这是我们以前创建BRIN-PR网络的授予编号P20 RR-16470的竞争续订应用程序。波多黎各生物医学研究卓越联盟（PRAABRE）的主要目标是：1）加强和增强联邦在三个特定研究领域的科学基础设施和研究竞争力，被认为是提高波多黎各的生物医学和行为研究能力的关键； 2）提高吸引这些研究领域的既定研究人员所需的生产率，竞争力和人力资源数量； 3）促进有才华的初级调查人员和有天赋的学生的研究技能的发展。在所有参与机构达成共识之后，Praabre指导委员会选择了要增强和增强的科学领域，这些领域是神经科学，药物设计和分娩以及分子医学。这些目标将通过创建和建立（a）行政核心，（b）生物信息学核心，（c）研究核心以及（d）在三个主题科学领域的外展核心来实现这些目标。行政核心将为研究网络提供行政和后勤支持。位于UPR的高性能计算设施（HPCF）的生物信息学核心将为三个主题研究集群中的研究人员提供技术专长和数据分析工具的访问。 Praabre的研究核心将支持三个举措：DNA测序和多焦点基因分型设施，UPR蛋白质学设施以及获得生物医学电子科学LNFormatics（ABESI）项目的访问。外展核心将创建计划，以支持初级研究人员和学生（研究生和本科），以及其他专业发展机会，为研究人员群体（神经科学，分子医学和药物设计与发展）的研究人员，以及高中教师和学生的沉浸式研究经验计划。最后，Praabre将在波多黎各的五个主要本科机构中主持11个研究子项目。
