Targeted Infusion Grant: Development of a Undergraduate Bioinformatics Program for Enhancing Research and Education at Tennessee State University

田纳西州立大学(TSU)的目标灌输项目--田纳西州立大学加强研究和教育的本科生生物信息学计划的发展--的目标是在该大学发展本科生生物信息学计划。该项目将启动生物信息学、数据库设计和数据挖掘领域的跨学科研究，开发用于生物信息处理的数据结构和算法，并开发用于分析分子序列中编码的结构和功能的新型高性能计算技术。Tsu在基因组学方面展示了日益增长的研究实力。该项目将为基因组研究的进一步发展提供资源。该项目将是培养一批少数族裔学生的不可或缺的一部分，这些学生可以在生物信息学的各个领域与工业界或学术界的同龄人竞争。这些活动将加强生物、数学和计算机科学等学科的研究和教育的整合。生物信息学实验室的增加将使德克萨斯州立大学拥有能够提供外展机会的设施。这些活动预计将增加人们对科学和工程的兴趣，从而提高TSU的招聘和保留率。

Tennessee State University's (TSU) Targeted Infusion Project entitled - Development of an Undergraduate Bioinformatics Program for Enhancing Research and Education at Tennessee State - has the goal to develop an undergraduate Bioinformatics program at the university. This project will initiate interdisciplinary research in the areas of bioinformatics, database design and data mining, development of data structures and algorithms for bio-information processing, and development of novel high-performance computation techniques for analyzing the structures and functions coded in molecular sequences. TSU has demonstrated growing research strength in genomics. The project will provide resources for further development of genome research. This project will be an integral part in preparing a workforce of minority students who can compete with their peers in industry or academia in various areas of bioinformatics. The activities will enhance integration of research and education in disciplines such as biology, mathematics, and computer science. The addition of a Bioinformatics Laboratory will equip TSU with facilities that can host outreach opportunities. These activities are expected to increase interest in science and engineering, therefore increasing the recruitment and retention rates at TSU.
