The Center for Alaska Native Health Research (CANHR) was established through a five-year grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health, National
Center
for Research Resources to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The purpose of CANHR is to investigate weight, nutrition, and health in Alaska Natives. CANHR
approaches this thematic focus from a genetic, dietary, and cultural-behavioral perspective. The funding comes through a program for Centers of Biomedical
Research Excellence (COBRE). This project has been and is being developed in partnership with the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC). The Center has
offices at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA).

The Pacific Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases Research is part of a larger vision to establish research excellence in
tropical medicine and infectious diseases. The Center is one of five pillar programs within the Asia-Pacific Institute for Tropical Medicine
and Infectious Diseases. The other four anchor or pillar programs include the Pacific Center for AIDS Research, which is comprised of
the RCMI-supported Pathobiology of HIV-Associated Disorders activity and the Hawaii HIV Immunology and Vaccine Core, the
Retrovirology Research Laboratory, the Hawaii AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU) and the Hawaii NeuroAIDS Specialized Neuroscience
Research Program (SNRP); the Pacific Rim Biodefense Center; the Pacific Asia Center for Disease Ecology; and the Pacific Center for
Vaccine and Gene Therapy Research. The Center will galvanize the University of Hawaii at Manoa's position as a center of excellence
for research and training in infectious diseases and as a regional reference center for the diagnosis and control of new, emerging
and re-emerging microbial threats.

The Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) is an independent research group within the University of Hawaii (UH), dedicated to developing a better
understanding of human cardiovascular diseases. Researchers at the Cardiovascular Research Center work closely with local patient
groups to study diseases of
the heart and vasculature prevalent among the native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. Originally founded in 2001, the Cardiovascular Research Center
(CVRC) has grown to include over 40 faculty members, research personnel, and students.
The Cardiovascular Research Center was recently identified as a Center for Biomedical Research Excellence by the National Institutes of Health. Most of CVRC's
funding is received from the NIH and from various other governmental and private organizations. This funding allows our center to continue to bring together
excellent researchers from around the world to conduct cutting-edge cardiovascular research at our location in the beautiful valley of Manoa in Honolulu,
Hawaii.

The Center for Research on Processes in Evolution (CRePE) at the University of Idaho (UI) brings together scientists that have expertise in evolutionary
biology, structural biology, molecular biology, ecology, computational biology, genetic programming, and statistics to investigate the relative importance of
various mutagenic processes on the tempo and trajectory of adaptive evolution, to detect and understand the functional significance of patterns that emerge
during the course of evolution, and to develop computational approaches that improve our ability to understand the evolutionary history of functional domains
in proteins, structural genes, and entire genomes. The fundamental knowledge gained from these studies will be of broad significance to biomedical science and
provide insights to the mechanisms and significance of genetic variation in populations and how adaptive evolution shapes the phenotypic characteristics of
all living organisms.

This COBRE grant funds University of Idaho research in microbial pathogenesis and food-borne illness. Included are six investigators in the Department of
Microbiology, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, Department of Animal Veterinary Science and the Boise VA Medical Center. They form the core of the UI Center
of Biomedical Research Excellence to Study the Molecular and Cellular Basis of Host-Pathogen Interactions. The center will strengthen and diversify this core
to establish Idaho as a premier institution with this focus.

Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide and the third leading cause of death in the United
States. In addition, purposeful release of highly infectious agents into the environment has become a significant source for
concern in regard to homeland security. Many highly infectious diseases important to the health of man, livestock,
and wildlife, are zoonotic. This COBRE will develop a Center for Immunotherapies to Zoonotic Diseases at Montana State University
that will make significant scientific contributions to the knowledge of the pathogenesis of zoonotic diseases.

The NIH Center for Structural and Functional Neuroscience was established at The University of Montana as a Center
for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) through the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program of the
National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). The research mission of the Center is to utilize approaches at the
interface of chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and molecular biology to advance our understanding of
protein structure and function in the central nervous system, particularly as related to signal transduction,
transport, development and pathogenesis.

The Integrative Neuroimaging Center (INC) was established as a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in February, 2001,
with funding from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Center creates a
state-of-the-art research facility to promote advances in integrative multimodal neuroimaging research. The Center's research is
currently focused on ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. This facility is open to all
scientists who are interested in using neuroimaging tools to discover the mechanisms of brain functions in both health and disease.
We welcome foreign and domestic scientists to help us create an exciting international research enviroment.

The Center for Evolutionary and Theoretical Immunology (CETI) was developed to provide a nurturing and vibrant environment where
young scholars with interests in theoretical and evolutionary immunobiology can prosper intellectually and ultimately become
independently funded to pursue their research interests.

The scientific theme of this center is the study of the cellular responses to stressors that result in
cardiovascular disease. Heart disease that kills more that half a million Americans each year. The Cardiovascular
COBRE Program studies the genetic, cellular, and physiological factors that influence overall cardiovascular
function in health and disease.
