The goals of the Arkansas INBRE are to:
- Expand and strengthen the biomedical research infrastructure of the lead and partner institutions by developing a multidisciplinary research network united by the scientific theme of Cellular Signaling, Growth, and Differentiation.
- Increase the biomedical research base in Arkansas by providing research support to the partner undergraduate institutions so they can obtain independent extramural funding for their biomedical research projects.
- Provide mentored research opportunities for faculty and undergraduate students statewide.
- Enhance the science and technology base of Arkansas’s future workforce by developing a cadre of trained scientists, especially those with expertise in biomedical research and bioinformatics and provide resources to stimulate growth of biotechnology industries in Arkansas.
