STARTUP Central
STARTUP Central is led by Continuum Educational Technologies (CET) in partnership with the University of Kansas and KU Innovation Park. STARTUP Central will help the Central region address a persistent gap between its robust and well-established research activities and the development of a comparable pipeline of academic entrepreneurs seeking to commercialize the many innovations resulting from this research. […]
Implementation Science and Equity
Abstract Text PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: OVERALL COBRE on Implementation Science & Equity Shrinking the time lag for translating research evidence into clinical practice would improve health outcomes across multiple domains and reduce costs to society. Until recently, however, clinical research has devoted little attention to implementing evidence-based practices in real-world clinical care. Moreover, rural, minority, and […]
Mechanisms of Liver Injury and Diseases
Liver diseases including alcohol- and drug-induced liver injury, fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, and liver cancer affects millions of people in he US. For the past 9 years the COBRE supported the recruitment of 15 junior faculty engaged in liver research and assisted in the development of highly successful core laboratories at the University of […]
Molecular Analysis of Disease Pathways
This proposal requests support to continue the development of the Center for Biomedical Research Excellence for Molecular Analysis of Disease Pathways (CMADP), which was established in 2012. The scientific theme of the CMADP is the creation and implementation of enabling technologies for the investigation of the genetic, biochemical and physical origins of disease. The Center […]
Chemical Biology of Infectious Disease
“Chemical biology is the focus of our efforts because it entails the discovery of chemical entities able to modulate pathways related to infectious processes. Such work can lead to an increase in biological understanding and the identification of novel targets for chemical intervention. Appropriate validation of such targets in advanced model systems, including animals, along […]
Cognitive and Neurobiological Approaches to Plasticity Center
This COBRE application will form a unique, thematic research center on Cognitive and Neurobiological Approaches to Plasticity (C-NAP). Four primary research projects bridge areas of excellence in the Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience programs at Kansas State University (KSU) and the Human Factors program at Wichita State University (WSU). The projects examine cognitive/neural plasticity across the […]
Center on Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
This COBRE application will form a unique research center on Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (EZID). Four primary research projects bridge areas of excellence in the Infectious Diseases programs at Kansas State University (KSU) within the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. The projects examine virulence factors and host-pathogen interactions of various pathogens, […]
The Kansas Institute for Precision Medicine
The overall objective of the “Kansas Institute for Precision Medicine” (KIPM) COBRE at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) is to advance the customization of healthcare through promoting innovative scientific discoveries. The KIPM COBRE will provide support to advance the mission of KUMC through innovative mentoring and training programs with a precision medicine theme. […]
Molecular Regulation of Cell Development and Differentiation Phase III COBRE
Funds are requested to renew a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) as a Phase III, five year award. This COBRE has a research focus on the regulation of cell development and differentiation, which may provide new, therapeutic insights into a host of developmental abnormalities and diseases. […]
National IDeA Symposium of Biomecical Research Excellence
The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program within the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) promotes the development, coordination and sharing of research resources that increase the competitiveness of investigators in 23 IDeA-eligible states and Puerto Rico. The IDeA Program includes the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE), the IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence […]
