What is an IDeA State?What is an IDeA State?The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutional Development Award Program (IDeA) was established in 1993 to broaden the geographic distribution of NIH funding for biomedical and behavioral research.
-Increase Competiveness
-Build capacity
-Advance research through animal models
-Foster research through technologies
-Develop informatics approaches to support research
-Strengthen the research workforce
-Maximize partnerships
Vermont Genetics Network (VGN)
Founded at the University of Vermont in 2001 through an NIH BRIN grant and renewed in 2005 through an NIH INBRE grant
• Encourage biomedical research in Vermont• Create a “network” of researchers and students • Give outreach lectures to 4-year institutions • Provide research grants to junior faculty and students • Mentoring for students interested in research • Core Facility Development and Support
INBRE: Vermont Genetics Network Core Facilities

college is only the beginning of our relationship with the college’s faculty and college is only the beginning of our relationship with the college’s faculty and students.students.
Core : Faculty: Undergraduate Students:
-Collaborations-Facility Usage-Networking Throughout the State-Interactions with Students
-Exposure to Cutting Edge Technology-Interactions with Faculty and Staff at UVM-Career Networking-Internships-Summer Jobs
Proteomics Outcomes???Proteomics Outcomes???
VGN Proteomic Outreach Program We provide all the equipment, supplies and teaching materials.
The manual, references and ppt. presentations will all be available online.
Goal is to integrate the proteomics module into the college’s curriculum.

Proteomics Experiment
-The effect of oxidative stress (using chemical Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)) on protein expression in yeast S. cerevisiae
-H2O2 is one of the most powerful oxidizers known -- stronger than chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and potassium permanganate. And through catalysis, H2O2 can be converted into hydroxyl radicals (.OH) with reactivity second only to fluorine.
-Grow the yeast and treat the control group with buffer (HBSS) and the treated group with buffer containing 0.5 mM H2O2
-Isolate protein from the yeast grown in two different conditions, perform IEF, DIGE, and Mass Spectrometry to identify protein changes as a result of treatment
