University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine has developed a web page resource for grant writers that provides boilerplate descriptions and background information for:
The University of Iowa Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing (CBB) collaborates yearly with more than 60 industrial companies and institutions to produce vaccines, antibiotics, anti-cancer drugs, polymers, BL2-LS pathogens, biochemicals, ensymes, pharmaceutical intermediates, and derivatives of bioactive compounds. The CBB is composed of a university-wide consortium using state-of-the-art facilities with the aim of providing world-class education and training, research and scholarship, as well as wide-ranging technology transfer activities in the real of biotechnology.
The Pediatrics key function focuses on bringing research from the laboratory to children in Iowa and around the world. It has four primary aims including:
Some of the activities of the key function build on outreach partnerships with school nurses across the state. It continues to enroll families into a neonatal repository that includes both data and biological samples on infants born at or transferred to UI Hospitals and Clinics.
The Biomedical Informatics Key Function's ultimate goal is to establish and maintain an integrated informatics infrastructure that effectively supports clinical and translational research at the University of Iowa and across the national consortium. We offer useful and accessible knowledge resources for researchers in the form of a federated infrastructure (a broad selection of local and national databases combined into a single virtual framework). These interconnected resources are fully capable of capturing, archiving, and managing all the various technological forms and mediums involved with conducting biomedical research.
The overall objective of the Genetics-Genomics Key Function is to facilitate the incorporation of genetics into translational medicine projects. In order to meet this objective the function has two main goals:
