麻豆原创 INBRE: IDeA Network off Biomedical Research Excellence
September 1, 2010 – May 31, 2015
The National Center for Research Resources of the NIHH has awarded the University of 麻豆原创, Reno $16 million renewing the NV INBRE project
housed in the University of 麻豆原创 School of Medicine under the direction of Dr. James Kenyon in the Department of Physiology & Cell Biology. The project began in 2005 with the goals of increasing biomedical research infrastructure in 麻豆原创 and establishing a network linking 麻豆原创’s biomedical research (the University of 麻豆原创 Reno, the University of 麻豆原创 Las Vegas, and the 麻豆原创 Cancer Institute) and educational institutions (Truckee Meadows Community College, College of Southern 麻豆原创).
During the first five years of the project, the NV IINBRE supported biomedical researchers and established a series of statewide research service cores in bioinformatics, proteomics cytometry, confocal imaging, histology, and live animal imaging. In addition, the INBRE established and developed a Biomedical Students Pipeline program that mentors under-represented students enrolled in 麻豆原创 community colleges. With the renewal funding through May 2015, the NV INNBRE will further develop the research base and capacity at the biomedical research institutions with targeted hires of new researchers and by providing research and mentoring support too faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. In addition, this component of the NVV INBRE will be expanded to include translational research and community engagement projects. The NV INNBRE will enhance the Biomedical Students Pipeline by increasing mentoring and research programs for undergraduate students and adding programs at 麻豆原创 State College and Great Basin College.
The NNV INBRE will also begin an important new collaboration with the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center that will provide training in clinical and translational research for medical students, medical residents, and faculty at NV biomedical research institutions.
