About Us
Alaska INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence) strengthens biomedical and behavioral health research across the state. By building research capacity, providing student training, and improving infrastructure, Alaska INBRE empowers institutions and individuals to address Alaska’s unique health challenges.
Rooted in a One Health approach, the program supports research that integrates environmental, animal, and human health perspectives.
Our Focus
Supporting Biomedical Research Across Alaska
What We Do
Training the Next Generation
Building Infrastructure and Access
Fostering Collaboration
Through the Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP), AK INBRE funds Research and Pilot Projects that expand expertise across Alaska.
Aims in Brief
Program Coordination
Provide Administrative Core (AC) support and coordination of the Student Research Program (SRP) and all other programs within the AK INBRE 5 network, its network-wide annual research conferences and summits, Executive, Steering, and External Advisory Committees (EC, SC and EAC), and tracking, reporting, outreach, and evaluation.
Research Funding
Build on the capacity, expertise, and interdisciplinary research collaborations within the expanded statewide network of AK INBRE 5 through the Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP) that funds Research Projects (RPs) and Pilot Projects (PPs) as competitive awards to investigators that include support for their mentors and incentivize involvement of undergraduate students in research.
Data Science
Develop the Data Science Core (DSC) within the AK INBRE 5 program to implement research, education, training, and services in tools, infrastructure, analysis, and stewardship in data science and data engineering for students and investigators.
Research Analytics
Augment the network through a new Research Analytics Core (RAC) to provide for distributed services and research support in genomics, chemistry, biochemistry, and innovative use of stable isotope analysis in the development of biomarkers in biomedical research.
Community Engagement
Provide resources and training for investigators, students, and community stakeholders through a new Community Based Participatory Research Core (CBPR Core) for training and aiding students and investigators in responsibilities and best practices for engaging the breadth of Alaska communities in research.
Facility Renovation
Renovate space through an Alteration and Renovation Project (A&R) to establish a modern suite for conducting research in chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Alaska Southeast, in Juneau, Alaska.
