Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are Wyoming undergraduates, faculty, postdocs, and graduate students participating in or benefiting from biomedical research training and collaboration within the state.
✕Less likely to help
Non-students or researchers outside Wyoming may not directly benefit from this program.
What this research studies
This grant expands a statewide network to strengthen biomedical education and research at the University of Wyoming and partner community colleges. It provides a Student Research Program to engage undergraduates in hands-on science and help them pursue biomedical or health science careers. It also supports faculty, postdocs, and graduate students to build sustainable research programs and expand opportunities across Wyoming and the region. Three core areas—Administrative and Data Science, Developmental Research Project Program, and ongoing collaboration with IDeA programs—will guide these efforts.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Patients in Wyoming could benefit indirectly through a stronger local biomedical research ecosystem that may lead to new therapies, diagnostics, and education tailored to regional health needs.
How similar studies have gone: Past INBRE programs have built durable research networks and produced sustained increases in research activity and student success in participating states.
