Our objective is to develop a major research center for biomedical research by establishing a research administrative structure and identifying foci (Clusters) around which thematic research interests of the faculty can be developed. In addition to the administrative unit, the following thematic research foci have been identified for development using the funds from the RCMI program. These are (Clusters) Pharmacology, Metabolism, Chemistry, Medical Sociology and Clinical Research. Each Cluster has identified the aspects of the research capability to be developed and has succinctly spelled out their objectives and goals. For example, the goal of the Pharmacology Cluster is to assemble a critical mass of investigators and equipment which will eventually enable the establishment of a Hypertension Center while the Metabolism Cluster will eventually evolve into a Diabetes Center at the institution. Similarly, the Chemistry Cluster has proposed a plan: 1) to establish a critical mass of research investigators representing various facets of pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry research; ii) to establish our capabilities to design, synthesize, and characterize new compounds of pharmacological interest; iii) to significantly expand on our capability to analyze chemical/biochemical entities in biological material; and iv) to expand on our capabilities to investigate biochemical mechanisms of drug action. The Medical Sociology Cluster has set as its goal the development of a research data base in the geriatric population especially that of the minorities. In similar footing, the Clinical Research group wishes to develop their research around the urban homeless in New Orleans. The centerpiece of our grant proposal is a request for funds to: (1) increase research faculty and support staff; (2) purchase the state-of-the-art pieces of equipment; (3) support ancilliary research activities like seminars, administration, travel etc. The net effect of all these is the total enhancement of research capability of a traditionally minority institution whose proven commitment to monority education has few equals in the U.S.A.

我们的目标是发展一个主要的研究中心 通过建立研究管理机构进行生物医学研究 围绕哪些主题构建和确定焦点(组) 可以培养教职员工的研究兴趣。除了……之外 行政单位，以下专题研究重点有 已确定使用RCMI的资金进行开发 程序。这些是(集群)药理学、新陈代谢、 化学、医学社会学和临床研究。每个人 CLUSTER已经确定了研究能力的各个方面 制定并简明扼要地阐明了他们的目标和 目标。例如，药理学集群的目标是 召集足够数量的调查人员和设备， 将最终促成高血压中心的建立 而新陈代谢星团最终将演变为 该机构的糖尿病中心。同样，化学 CLUSTER提出了一项计划：1)建立一个临界质量 代表不同方面的研究人员 药物/药物化学研究；ii)建立我们的 设计、合成和表征新产品的能力 具有药理价值的化合物；iii)显著 扩展我们分析化学/生化实体的能力 在生物材料方面；以及iv)扩大我们的能力 研究药物作用的生化机制。医学部 社会学集群的目标是发展一个 老年人群中的研究数据库，特别是 少数族裔。在类似的基础上，临床研究小组 希望围绕城市无家可归者开展他们的研究 新奥尔良。我们拨款提案的核心是一项请求 资金用于：(1)增加研究人员和辅助人员；(2) 购买最先进的设备；(3)支持 辅助研究活动，如研讨会、行政管理、旅行 等。所有这些的净效果是总的增强 一个传统的少数族裔机构的研究能力 对一元化教育的公认承诺在世界上几乎是无与伦比的 美国。
