DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal of PRAABRE represents a step forward in our efforts to foster the continued development of the biomedical research infrastructure in Puerto Rico. Such continued development is achieved through the implementation of a strengthened and cohesive structure with improved integration of common scientific and educational interests, collaborations, and a newly created Mentoring Initiative. The structure of PRAABRE is represented in the following components: Administrative, Bioinformatics, Scientific Network, Centralize Research and Instrumentation, and Science and Technology and Education. The Administrative Core provides the programmatic direction for the entire PRAABRE. The new Mentoring Initiative will standardize mentoring practices among participating Institutions at all levels of intervention, from undergraduate student research to mentored research at the faculty level. This initiative will also coordinate Grantsmanship Workshops offered by Kentucky INBRE personnel on a yearly basis. The Administrative Core, via a close interaction with the External Advisory Committee and an External Independent Evaluator, will also organize the overall formative and additive evaluation process of PRAABRE. The Bioinformatics Core will assertively foster and stimulate the development of bioinformatics research, collaborations, and consulting services. This core will also be responsible for maintaining high performance lnternet-2 network capabilities at participating Institutions. Our initiative for providing Access to biomedical Research Electronic Information will also be coordinated by the Bioinformatics Core. The Scientific Network will host 11 INBRE sponsored research projects in PRAABRE, all organized into thrust areas within the biomedical sciences. The Centralized Research and Instrumentation Core integrates the corresponding facilities established at the UPR-Rio Piedras and Medical Sciences Campuses by prior BRIN and INBRE cycles, as well as by COBRE and RCMI, all NCRR programs. The Science and Technology Competence and Education Core will host the PRAABRE Seminar Series, Technology Transfer Awards, Faculty Summer Internships, Continued Education and Technology Competence Workshops, and the Science-on-Wheels project, a K-12 initiative. This PRAABRE Core will also help coordinate Summer Internships in Kentucky for PRAABRE students, an Initiative covered by the Kentucky INBRE. A special quality of this renewal application is the collaborations among the distinct cores, which makes the proposed efforts a true networking of ideas, education, and biomedical research in the Island of Puerto Rico. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): This renewal application will further augment and strengthen Puerto Rico's biomedical research capacity, productivity, and competitiveness. PRAABRE will continue to build upon the established biomedical research network of 16 Institutions with a scientific focus on Neuroscience, Molecular Medicine, and Drug Design. PRAABRE will also serve as a pipeline for students throughout the development of their scientific careers and contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy in the Island.

描述（由申请人提供）：Praabre的这种续签代表了我们努力促进波多黎各生物医学研究基础设施的持续发展。通过实施加强和凝聚力的结构，通过改善了共同的科学和教育利益，合作以及新创建的指导计划的整合来实现这种持续的发展。 Praabre的结构在以下组成部分中表示：行政，生物信息学，科学网络，集中研究和仪器以及科学与技术和教育。管理核心为整个Praabre提供了程序化方向。新的指导倡议将在各个干预层面的参与机​​构中标准化指导实践，从本科生研究到教师的指导研究。该倡议还将协调肯塔基州INBRE人员每年提供的赠款讲习班。通过与外部咨询委员会和外部独立评估者进行密切互动，行政核心还将组织Praabre的整体形成性和添加剂评估过程。生物信息学核心将肯定地促进和刺激生物信息学研究，协作和咨询服务的发展。 该核心还将负责维持参与机构的高性能LNTernet-2网络能力。我们提供生物医学研究电子信息访问的计划也将由生物信息学核心协调。该科学网络将在Praabre举办11个INBRE赞助的研究项目，所有这些都组织成生物医学科学内的推力区域。集中的研究和仪器核心整合了先前的Brin和Inbre Cycles以及Cobre和RCMI在UPR-Rio Piedras和医学科学校园建立的相应设施，所有NCRR计划。科学和技术能力和教育核心将主持Praabre研讨会系列，技术转移奖，暑期实习，持续的教育和技术能力研讨会以及K-12倡议的科学赛车项目。 这个Praabre核心还将帮助协调肯塔基州Praabre学生的暑期实习，这是由肯塔基州INBRE涵盖的一项倡议。这种续签应用的特殊质量是不同核心之间的合作，这使得拟议的努力成为波多黎各岛上的思想，教育和生物医学研究的真正网络。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：此更新申请将进一步增强并增强波多黎各的生物医学研究能力，生产力和竞争力。 Praabre将继续建立在既定的16个机构的生物医学研究网络上，其科学重点是神经科学，分子医学和药物设计。 Praabre还将在整个科学职业的发展中为学生提供管道，并为岛上基于知识的经济发展做出贡献。
