The Research Improvement in Minority Institutions (RIMI) program was established to provide support to strengthen the research environments and capabilities of predominantly minority institutions or institutions that have substantial minority student enrollments. Eligible institutions must also have graduate programs in science or programs in engineering. Funding is provided for faculty research in fields of science and engineering supported by the Foundation and for the acquisition of research instrumentation. Tennessee State University will use RIMI support to establish an institutional facility for ultrastructural cell chemistry research. This project will focus on acquiring technical assistance and release time to allow the performance of meritorious research. In addition, greater utilization of an existing electron microscopy facility will be possible. The research capability of Tennessee State will be strengthened specifically in the areas of cell biology and biochemistry. The principal investigators for this work are currently conducting research in anatomical features of cells and tissues and have published in scientific journals. The Foundation has supported this project because the participation of minorities in research will be increased at an urban institution that is located in an ideal location for attracting minority constituents.

少数民族机构研究改进（RIMI）计划 为加强研究环境提供支持 主要是少数民族机构的能力， 有大量少数民族学生入学的机构。 符合条件的机构还必须有科学研究生课程， 工程学专业 为教师研究提供资金， 基金会支持的科学和工程领域， 购置研究仪器。 田纳西州立 大学将利用RIMI支持建立一个机构 超微结构细胞化学研究设施。 这个项目 将专注于获得技术援助和发布时间， 有价值的研究的表现 此外，更大的 利用现有的电子显微镜设施， 可能 田纳西州的研究能力将得到加强 特别是在细胞生物学和生物化学领域。 的 这项工作的主要研究人员目前正在进行 研究细胞和组织的解剖特征， 发表在科学期刊上。 基金会对此表示支持 项目，因为少数群体参与研究将是 位于理想位置的城市机构增加 吸引少数族裔选民。
