The National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health developed the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program to assist historically low-funded states to develop infrastructure that will enhance the state's ability to attain competitive research funding.

South Dakota has three active IDeA awards, the second of which was made in the fall of 2001 for the Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network, led by the University of South Dakota.

BRIN Resources at USD Libraries

To date: The USD libraries made significant progress in delivering online databases and full-text journal articles to all SD BRIN participating institutions. During the three years of BRIN funding (2002-2004), total usage of BRIN-funded library databases was 13,665 hits. This increased to 115,352 in 2007 alone. While these numbers include faculty and students from USD utilizing the databases, ScienceDirect purchased only for the partner institutions increased from 1,234 hits to 9,512 hits during the same time period.

Other enhancements or additions attributed to SD BRIN include:

  • expanded access to Science Direct and Biosis
  • new resources from Nature Publishing Group
  • expanding the original Biosis database to include all Biosis Previews materials
  • EBSCOHost package geared toward undergraduate students
  • EBSCOhost’s Computers & Applied Sciences Complete database
  • Wiley Intersciencejournals (2003)
  • upgraded Ariel ® software and equipment for delivery of articles to network members

Any faculty member or student from participating SD BRIN institutions may access anything physically located at the USD libraries or the BRIN-sponsored science databases at any time. Since 2006 PubMed instruction on the library BRIN resources Web page provides introductory online search assistance and training. Undergraduate research fellows are all trained in the use of BRIN library resources during the compliance training at the beginning of their summer research experience.

The future: In response to a request by all the PUIs and the USD medical school's science research faculty members, SD BRIN will contribute to the expenses for scientific research databases annually during Phase II of INBRE. SDBRIN will support current databases and their availability to faculty and students at participating SD BRIN institutions Augustana College, Black Hills State University, Dakota Wesleyan University, Mt. Marty College, Oglala Lakota College, Sinte Gleske University, Sisseton Wahpeton College, University of Sioux Falls and Basic Biomedical Sciences at SSOM. The USD libraries will support research and collaboration by providing SD BRIN librarians with reference support, training and assistance in accessing databases.
