克拉克·亚特兰大大学研究环境的发展， 在当前奖励期下开始，将继续并加速到 实现以下目标： 1.在两个重点领域聚集一大批研究人才：(I) 基因结构、表达和调控；以及(Ii)化学调控 细胞功能。 2.激发研究活动，促进RCMI之间的合作 调查人员以及RCMI调查人员与内部其他研究人员之间的关系 在克拉克·亚特兰大大学外。 3.支持当前和未来RCMI项目的全面发展 科研人员实现主流研究支持和充分参与 作为研究企业中的同行。 用于实现这些目标的技术如下所示。一 将在每个重点领域雇用两名资深科学家。这些 知名科学家将通过以下方式刺激这些地区的快速发展 带来更多专业知识，并担任以下领域的导师和合作者 员工中的一些初级科学家。协作型企业的发展 克拉克亚特兰大大学研究小组成员之间的研究项目 教职员工和其他机构的科学家将强烈 很受鼓舞。将聘请博士后实习生协助这项研究 在大多数项目上，以提高研究效率。小额赠款(种子 资金)将提供给科学家以资助最初的研究项目 对于新的调查人员，为新的协作努力和 为现有调查人员提供临时研究支持，这些调查人员可能 经历一段暂时的外部支持中断。基础设施 新政府开始的改进工作将完成，以提供 改善研究环境。 方案修订后的研究重点和改进方向 大学的研究环境将对大学产生重大影响 教职员工的研究生产力。

The development of the research environment at Clark Atlanta University, begun under the current award period, will be continued and accelerated to achieve the following goals: 1. Assemble a critical mass of research talent in two areas of focus: (i) Gene Structure, Expression and Regulation; and (ii) Chemical Modulation of Cellular Function. 2. Stimulate research activity and foster collaborations among RCMI investigators and between RCMI investigators and other researchers within and outside Clark Atlanta University. 3. Support the comprehensive development of current and future RCMI program researchers to achieve mainstream research support and to participate fully as peers in the research enterprise. The techniques to be used to accomplish these goals are the following. One to two senior scientists will be hired in each of the areas of focus. These established scientists will spur the rapid development of these areas by bringing additional expertise and serving as mentors and collaborators for some of the junior scientists on staff. The development of collaborative research projects among members of the Clark Atlanta University research faculty and with scientists at other institutions will be strongly encouraged. Postdoctoral trainees will be hired to assist in the research on most projects to increase research productivity. Small grants (seed money) will be available to scientists to fund initial research projects for new investigators, to provide support for new collaborative efforts and to provide interim research support for established investigators who may experience a temporary hiatus of external support. Infrastructure improvements begun by the new administration will be completed to provide an improved research environment. The revised research focus of the proposed program and the improved research environment of the University will have a significant impact on the research productivity of the faculty.
