MBRS PROGRAM

MBRS计划的主要目标是开发有价值的， 德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的重要生物医学研究， 加强持续的教师生物医学研究能力，以促进 富有成效的研究环境和年轻研究人员的努力 在发展生物医学研究项目方面。 这种最高级的气氛， 研究和奖学金最近增加了 在细胞和组织培养方面有几个多用户研究设施， 分子生物学和生物化学，分析细胞学和生物统计学。 得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的MBRS项目培养了 将继续促进跨学科的方法来解决问题， 生物医学科学 在这项提案中，来自4个部门的15名教师 将参与生物化学，生物统计学，化学， 分子生物学，分子发病机制，膜组装，化学 建模、生物修复和免疫学。 其中四个项目来自 调查人员新的大学或MBRS计划，这 申请包括三个助理研究员子项目。 的 德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校认为MBRS计划对以下方面的支持 个人的研究努力，为他们提供了机会， 提高他们的竞争技能，进入一般池， 生物医学研究支持的竞争。 MBRS计划的第二个重点是增加 选择生物医学科学职业的代表性不足的少数群体， 通过为这些学生提供参与的手段， 在原始的生物医学研究中， 环境 十六名研究生和十三名本科生 研究人员将被雇用，并将参与他们的各个方面， 各自的研究项目。 大学将通过以下方式为MBRS计划做出重大贡献： 为每个教师提供部分教学时间 会员是否 发布时间将在大学的费用与一个近似 在四年的提案中，价值100万美元。

The primary objective of the MBRS program is to develop worthy and significant biomedical research at the University of Texas at El Paso, to enhance on-going faculty biomedical research capabilities, to foster a productive research environment and augment efforts of young investigators in developing biomedical research programs. This superlative atmosphere of research and scholarship has been recently augmented by the addition of several multi-user research facilities in Cell and Tissue Culture, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Analytical Cytology and Biostatistics. The MBRS Program at the University of Texas at El Paso has fostered and will continue to foster interdisciplinary approaches to solve problems in the biomedical sciences. In this proposal, 15 faculty from 4 departments will be involved in 14 projects in biochemistry, biostatistics, chemistry, molecular biology, molecular pathogenesis, membrane assembly, chemical modeling, bioremediation and immunology. Four of the projects are from investigators new to the University or the MBRS Program and this application includes three Associate Investigator sub-projects. The University of Texas at El Paso views the MBRS Program's support for individual research efforts as providing them with the opportunities to increase their competitive skills for entrance into the general pool of competition for biomedical research support. A second focus of the MBRS Program is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities who chose careers in biomedical science or health professions by providing the means for these students to participate in original biomedical research and by providing a nurturing and supportive environment. Sixteen graduate and thirteen undergraduate student researchers will be employed and will be involved in all aspects of their respective research projects. The University will contribute substantially to the MBRS Program by providing partial release time from teaching duties for every faculty member. Release time will be at University expense with an approximate dollar value of $1,000,000 over the four years of proposal.
