The general objective of the proposed University of Guam MBRS program is to provide opportunities for the faculty and talented minority students to conduct biomedically significant research utilizing the research facilities of the University of Guam. Four of the projects focus on marine biomedical research and will utilize the ecologically diverse tropical marine environment of Guam. The proposal includes five research projects submitted by regular principal investigators, a research project submitted by an associate investigator, and a well-structured enrichment component. Research projects include studies of genetics of reef fishes, genetics and reproductive biology of corals, genetics of learning and behavior in Drosophila, environmental microbiology of pathogenic microorganisms in nearshore marine habitats, and biophysical chemistry (2D nuclear magnetic resonance studies). Finally, an associate investigator project will focus on biomedically active natural products in coral-reef seaweeds and invertebrates. It is anticipated that through the proposed activities the student and faculty research environment will be enhanced. Faculty and students involved in research activities will interact with scientists in the mainland U.S. and will have the opportunity to learn new techniques and developments by participating in off-campus conferences and research activities as well as on-campus conferences and research activities as well as on-campus seminars, workshops, and informal discussions with visiting scientists. In the geographically isolated location of Guam, such experiences are especially valuable to the students when making decisions on postgraduate careers.

拟议的关岛大学计划的总体目标是 为教师和才华横溢的少数民族学生提供机会 利用研究进行生物医学重要的研究 关岛大学的设施。 四个项目的重点 海洋生物医学研究，将利用生态多样的 关岛的热带海洋环境。 该提案包括五项研究 由常规首席研究人员提交的项目，一个研究项目 由副研究人员和结构良好的丰富 成分。 研究项目包括礁鱼遗传学的研究， 珊瑚的遗传学和生殖生物学，学习的遗传学和 果蝇的行为，致病性的环境微生物学 近海海洋栖息地和生物物理化学的微生物 （2D核磁共振研究）。 最后，是同事 研究者项目将重点放在生物医学活跃的天然产品上 在珊瑚雷夫海藻和无脊椎动物中。 可以预料，通过拟议的活动，学生和 教师研究环境将得到增强。 教师和学生 参与研究活动将与科学家互动 美国大陆，将有机会学习新技术和 通过参加校外会议和研究来发展 活动以及校园会议和研究活动 以及校园内研讨会，讲习班和非正式讨论 来访科学家。 在关岛的地理孤立位置， 这样的经历对于学生而言特别有价值 关于研究生职业的决定。
