The Nevada INBRE and partners are seeking applicants for Scientific
Core Service Awards to foster your research, publications and grants
three times a year: April, August, and December.
Applicants may request services from one or multiple cores. No award
will be issued for more than $5,000. A maximum of $2000 in services may
be requested from each core; Bioinformatics’ requests of up to $5,000
will be considered.
Here are some highlighted services:
Quantitative proteomics using both label-free (e.g., DIA, spectral
counting) and isobaric labelling (TMT) methodologies and data
analyses
Experimental, sequencing, and computational support for single-cell
RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq)
Experimental and computational support for microbiome projects
Pathway analysis for human, mouse, or rat via iPathwayGuide (iPG),
for other organisms please consult with the NBC
(Multi) Omics data analysis
Phenotype prediction and metagenomics
Bioinformatics and Data Science training workshops, e.g., R for Data
Science, First Steps with Python, Introduction to Microbiome Data
Analysis, Introduction to RNAseq
Supporting analytical chemistry research, e.g., ion
chromatography
Confocal imaging of cells and tissue (Leica Stellaris 5 and 8)
Single molecule tracking (Olympus TIRF)
Assisting in designing, executing, and analyzing flow cytometric and
cell sorting experiments
Designing and printing of objects used in scientific research
This list is not exhaustive. For more information about additional
services and ways the cores could assist in your research endeavors,
please reach out to the cores directly. Also, our NV INBRE Data Science
directors, Drs. Juli Petereit and Ed Oh are here in case there are general
questions or concerns.
Awards will be issued by late-April/early-May and must be utilized by
September 30, 2024; extensions will be considered if requested in
written by August 15, 2024.
Any researcher at Nevada INBRE Partner Institutions (CSN, DRI, GBC,
NSU, TMCC, UNLV, UNR, WNC) needing scientific core services or support
can apply.
Outreach institutions (CSN, GBC, NSU, TMCC, WNC) may apply at any
time. Please complete
this
application form which remains open and applications will be
considered throughout the year.
Please complete the short Scientific Core Service Award Application
online which covers the following points:
Project overview, including experimental design (e.g., organism,
sample size, replicates)
Testing hypothesis, expected outcomes, and project timeline (any
deadlines if applicable)
Description of requested core services including a quote from the
core(s)
Relevance of the project to PI’s research and plans for additional
(federal) funding
Biomedical implication of the proposed project (UNR applications
without biomedical relevance will be considered thanks to the supported
by UNR Research & Innovation)
You must consult with scientific core staff about your project to
obtain a quote for requested services. The quote must be included in
your application
Priority will be given to investigators who are unfunded or can
provide matching funds, as well as those who have not received a service
award in the past
Non-biomedical research projects will only be considered for
applications from CSN, GBC, NSC, TMCC, and WNC with student involvement,
but priority will be given to biomedical related projects (UNR
non-biomedical applications will be considered thanks to support from
UNR Research & Innovation and UNR CABNR)
One of NV INBRE’s missions is to foster the next generation of
scientist and as such undergraduate student involvement is very
important to us
Undergraduate and graduate students, residents, and postdoctoral
fellows are welcome to apply
Any material presented or published on this work requires a NV INBRE
funding acknowledgement
Awardees will be required to present their data/research at an
annual seminar
Awardees will be required to complete a report for NV INBRE in
December/January regarding publications, presentations, and grants
applied for and/or awarded as a result of this service award for the
next 3-5 years
