SC INBRE Outreach Core

Outreach Core Mission

The primary objective of the SC INBRE Outreach Core is to ensure the inclusion of non-network institutions in the SC INBRE Program and provide opportunities for non-network institutions to participate in mentored research activities.

Outreach Core Programs

Postdoctoral Academic Career Development Program
In early 2007, the INBRE Outreach Core offered an opportunity for postdoctoral researchers to acquire a substantial mentored teaching experience in conjunction with their primary training in scientific research.  The underlying hypothesis for this program is that a skilled teacher is a more efficient and productive researcher.  Goals of the PACD program include improvement of teaching skills and research achievements to expand career opportunities and competitiveness, while simultaneously serving as a role model for students and promoting curricular development in science and mathematics departments at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) in South Carolina.

This program is currently in progress.  Awards for this program are not currently available.

INBRE Summer Undergraduate Research Program
The INBRE Outreach Core offered a program for undergraduate students from institutions not currently in the INBRE network to participate in research projects to be conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina, Clemson University, and the University of South Carolina in support of the regenerative medicine/bioengineering theme. 

This summer program was an opportunity for undergraduates at PUIs to learn about programs at the graduate degree granting institutions with Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering programs.
