Abstract

SD INBRE Project Summary The South Dakota IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (SD INBRE) is hosted by the Sanford School of Medicine of the University of South Dakota (USD), in Vermillion, SD. This is the SD component of the INBRE program, and it has been funded by the NIH/NIGMS since 2001. The goal of SD INBRE is to maintain and grow the biomedical research infrastructure within the state of South Dakota. To accomplish this, we will expand research capacity in SD in the area of cell biology and the control of cell and microbial growth. Cell biology is broadly defined for the purposes of SD INBRE, and our students and faculty will evaluate the molecular interactions that both influence a cellular response and are produced after a cell is stimulated. We will align core resources to increase the use of equipment, personnel, funding opportunities, and reporting infrastructure as we maximize research productivity across SD INBRE. Our plans to enhance SD INBRE faculty development in scholarship, grantsmanship, and mentorship will allow faculty at partner institutions to gain research support and mentoring as they increase publications and grant submissions. We will provide research opportunities for SD INBRE undergraduate students to receive training in biomedical sciences at partner institutions throughout SD. These research experiences will include both summer and academic year opportunities. Our plans for outreach include providing K-20 students with examples of how biomedical research can help them achieve their career goals. We will use our small population of scientists to engage researchers across all career stages at our partner institutions. Together, we will accomplish our goal by providing SD students and faculty with a unique infrastructure that will advance biomedical research across our state. Over the past two decades, SD INBRE has established a culture of biomedical research across South Dakota. The core resources and research opportunities have expanded training and mentoring of students and faculty across our network. We will build on these successes as we use our unique infrastructure to align faculty, equipment, and personnel across SD INBRE.
