The K-INBRE DRPP Core stimulates research in Biomedical Research in Kansas via mentored, interdisciplinary research opportunities. The DRPP Core will execute and oversee two mentored training programs, including the required Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP) and the Summer PUI Research INvestigator Grant (SPRING) Pilot Projects. Both funding mechanisms will promote the development of multidisciplinary research projects in the area of biomedical research, with the specific focus of 1) providing young faculty with the skills to acquire independent funding 2) aiding PUI faculty to grow research programs primarily in the summer, with the inclusion of undergraduate research opportunities, and 3) supporting promising trainees as they develop tools and skills to advance in their careers. The DRPP Core seeks to grow research programs in young faculty and faculty at K-INBRE PUI institutions in particular to increase the number of students involved in research.
