Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are faculty, students, or clinicians at PUIs in the WV-INBRE network who participate in mentorship, training, or research projects.
✕Less likely to help
Patients are not direct participants in this core; benefits come indirectly through strengthened research capacity.
What this research studies
If you’re a patient or student at a university in the WV-INBRE network, this core helps grow and connect biomedical research opportunities. It supports training and mentorship, coordinates workshops and webinars, and manages day-to-day operations to keep projects moving. The goal is to strengthen research capacity at primarily undergraduate institutions and enable collaborations that could lead to better health in the future. While it focuses on administration and program development, its success can pave the way for patient-centered research down the line.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Strengthened research infrastructure can accelerate translational projects that may eventually improve patient care.
How similar studies have gone: Other COBRE/INBRE centers have shown that administrative and mentoring infrastructure enhances researcher productivity and collaboration.
