DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Idaho will continue the IDeA INBRE Program by sponsoring statewide biomedical research at the BS/MS-granting institutions and two- and four-year colleges. With previous funding an unprecedented Network of research and educational collaborations among ten institutions in Idaho has been built. Successes include a doubling in the number of undergraduates pursing science and health-related careers (~1600 in 2004 to >3000 in 2008) and a >20-fold return on an eight year, ~$1.2 million seed grant investment that resulted in 65 extramural applications and over $26 million in new awards. The renewal proposes to continue/enhance successful programs to catalyze Idaho's transformation to competitiveness through core laboratory facilities, support services, faculty research, student educational and research opportunities, and community outreach. Also, prospects for collaboration across the Western IDeA region and with a CTSA are proposed. "Sustainability" strategies and institutional commitments are in place to carry on the fundamental support for research infrastructure and biomedical research opportunities when the INBRE Program sunsets. The proposal has Five Specific Aims: 1. To strengthen Idaho's biomedical research infrastructure and expertise by building on the established INBRE network with the scientific theme of "Cell Signaling"; 2. To provide support to Idaho faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students to increase the research base and capacity; 3. To provide research opportunities to Idaho undergraduate students and serve as a pipeline for these students to continue in health research careers; 4. To enhance the science and technology knowledge of Idaho's workforce; and 5. To expand Idaho research opportunities across the Western IDeA Region. The Aims will be met with an Administrative Core and Statewide Steering Committee that bring talented leaders representing all institutions together to guide the Network; an External Advisory Committee with expertise in "Cell Signaling", sustaining productive research programs, and higher education; and a Bioinformatics Core. Opportunities for faculty research at various participation levels will result in numerous intra- and inter-institution collaborations. Research faculty will be held to productivity standards and much emphasis will be placed on mentoring so that the best environment will be created for individuals to meet their goals. Finally, opportunities for students to participate in biomedical research will include undergraduate 2-week immersion labs, 10-week summer fellowships, academic year research, graduate student stipends, post-doctoral fellowships; and activities for K-12 science education. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The INBRE Program has profoundly affected biomedical research at every level and in all regions of Idaho. Its continuation will stimulate research at educational institutions, provide state-of-the-art research facilities, and improve the caliber of scientific faculty. These activities impact public health by enhancing Idaho's competitiveness for research funds and by preparing the next generation of scientists. INBRE creates an environment for Idahoans with the talent and desire to solve health problems through research, to do so.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱达荷大学将通过在BS/MS授予机构和两年学院的全州生物医学研究中赞助全州生物医学研究。凭借以前的资金，已经建立了爱达荷州十个机构的研究和教育合作网络。成功包括从事科学和与健康有关的职业的本科生人数增加一倍（2004年约1600至2008年的3000）和八年的20倍回报，约有120万美元的种子赠款投资，导致65次外校外应用和超过2600万美元的新奖项。该续约建议继续/增强成功的计划，以通过核心实验室设施，支持服务，教职员工研究，学生教育和研究机会以及社区宣传来促进爱达荷州的转型转变为竞争力。此外，还提出了在西方思想区域以及与CTSA合作的前景。当Inbre计划日落时，“可持续性”策略和机构承诺将对研究基础设施和生物医学研究机会进行基本支持。该提案具有五个具体的目的：1。通过建立建立的近亲网络，以“细胞信号”的科学主题来加强爱达荷州的生物医学研究基础设施和专业知识； 2。为爱达荷教师，博士后研究员和研究生提供支持，以增加研究基础和能力； 3。为爱达荷大学的本科生提供研究机会，并作为这些学生继续从事卫生研究职业的管道； 4。增进爱达荷州劳动力的科学和技术知识； 5。扩大爱达荷州的研究机会在整个西方思想地区。目的将与一个行政核心和全州范围的指导委员会实现，该委员会将代表所有机构的才华横溢的领导人聚集在一起，以指导网络。具有“细胞信号”，维持生产研究计划和高等教育方面的专业知识的外部咨询委员会；和生物信息学核心。各种参与水平的教师研究机会将导致许多机构内和机构间的合作。研究教师将遵守生产力标准，并将大力重点放在指导上，以便为个人创建最佳环境以实现其目标。最后，学生参加生物医学研究的机会将包括本科2周的浸入式实验室，10周的夏季奖学金，学年研究，研究生津贴，博士后研究生；和K-12科学教育的活动。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：INBRE计划在每个层面和爱达荷州的所有地区都深远影响了生物医学研究。它的延续将刺激教育机构的研究，提供最先进的研究设施，并提高科学教师的才能。这些活动通过增强爱达荷州研究基金的竞争力并通过准备下一代科学家来影响公共卫生。 Inbre为爱达荷人创造了一个有才华和渴望通过研究解决健康问题的环境。
