Kansas State University faculty and students will benefit from a five-year, million grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health awarded to The University of Kansas Medical Center.
The grant will continue a statewidecell and developmental biology 1xbet sports betting program that has brought million into the state since it was first funded in 2001. The Kansas IDeA Networks of Biomedical 1xbet sports betting Excellence, or K-INBRE is one of the largest biomedical 1xbet sports betting grants awarded in Kansas.
The network is a multidisciplinary program to enhance Kansas' 1xbet sports betting capacity through faculty development, retention and infrastructure, as well as inspire undergraduate researchers to pursue careers in biomedical 1xbet sports betting . Ten university campuses in Kansas and Oklahoma — including K-State — are a part of the initiative.
"The K-INBRE is a unique program that brings together institutions across the state of Kansas and Oklahoma to improve the quality of our 1xbet sports betting and mentoring that is rarely found at other institutions," said Keith Chapes, K-INBRE undergraduate office director and campus coordinator, and Kansas State University professor of biology. "The strength of the program is that our consortium works together to improve what we can offer. We look forward to another five productive years."
Jim Guikema, associate vice president for 1xbet sports betting and professor of biology at K-State, said, "Kansas State University is pleased to be a full partner with our statewide colleagues and with the National Institutes of Health in bringing our highly qualified student clients to the forefront of medical science. What we do in Kansas today prepares our students for medical advancements for the state, the nation and the world. This cannot be done without the dedication of K-INBRE staff and of our faculty and scientist colleagues who understand that the future depends upon those that we train today."
The grant will fund numerous 1xbet sports betting initiatives, including 1xbet sports betting projects and startup funds for new faculty, postdoctoral fellowships and undergraduate student 1xbet sports betting projects. The grant also supports translational 1xbet sports betting partnerships between clinicians and basic scientists, and provides bridging funds for national-level applications that are close to acquiring national funding. A major initiative of the grant is to enhance bioinformatics 1xbet sports betting in Kansas that builds biological information databases. Known as the K-INBRE Bioinformatics Core, the facility is directed by Susan Brown, university distinguished professor of biology at K-State.
"The INBRE is a critical program for the state of Kansas," said Douglas Wright, program director and professor of anatomy and cell biology at University of Kansas Medical Center. "This award will continue to enhance and strengthen our network of researchers, students and others in the biomedical field, and help researchers in Kansas remain competitive for national 1xbet sports betting grants."
K-INBRE was originally funded in 2001 as part of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences' Institutional Development Award, or IDeA, program. The award program supports biomedical researchers in 23 states and Puerto Rico that historically have been underfunded by National Institutes of Health 1xbet sports betting dollars. Throughout its 13-year tenure, K-INBRE has received more than million in funding. This support has assisted researchers in obtaining 189 grants totaling .4 million to date.
