Nevada INBRE Program Goals
Increase the success of Nevada researchers in competing for biomedical grant awards and expand total extramural funding in the state.
Increase the number of multi-investigator, interdisciplinary and inter-institutional grant awards in Nevada.
Promote the careers of selected target faculty working at the partner institutions through the funding of 2-3 year seed projects, which that will allow them to establish their research programs and collect data for subsequent submission of grant proposals.
Promote the development of the new Nevada Cancer Institute by establishing programmatic, training, and shared instrumentation facility linkages with UNSOM, UNR, and UNLV through the INBRE.
Promote bioinformatics research and training at all three research institutions in the network through the further development of the Nevada Bioinformatics Center.
Establish effective assess grid node communications between UNSOM, UNLV, UNR, and NVCI in order to share research seminars, scientific collaboration, and graduate classes among the Nevada institutions and other IDeA state institutions.
Maintain and enhance technology core facilities in genomics, proteomics, cytometry, and imaging that support researchers throughout the state.
Position the Nevada bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics cores as regional resources for the western IDeA states.
Increase the number of Nevada undergraduates involved in biomedical research and increase the number and quality of Nevada undergraduates entering graduate school and professional schools in health science related fields.
Increase the number of Nevada undergraduates interested in biomedical research careers by improving the effectiveness of our community colleges as feeder institutions for biomedical-related academic majors programs at the universities.
