RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY & INFORMATION ENHANCEMENTS

提议的增强侧重于计算的集成 和网络资源投入到RCMI研究和教育中。这个 这项建议的亮点是规划的长期目标和 将COPP定位为以计算机为基础的 分子建模和药物发现研究与教育。至 为了达到这一目标，我们建议加强现有的工具和 用于记录、检索和分析信息库的设备 通过采用最先进的基于计算机的信息工具。 这些工具对于实现我们的目标是必不可少的 FAMU Copps以RCMI为中心的信息中央存储库 可通过万维网(VAM)访问的资源。这样的一种 基础设施被称为电信和计算 中心(TCC)。此外，重要的是，在 将RCMI项目转移到包含计算的水平 资源，何时何地可行，以及 通过网络资源发布研究。增加教职员工， 研究助理和研究生对知识的运用 用于在线数据检索、分析、总体研究和 随着我们接近下个世纪初，结果是重要的。至 为此，将加强科普斯图书馆并配备数字设备 图书馆能力，包括CD-ROM和在线订阅。这个 数字图书馆将是TCC不可分割的一部分，位于新的 科学研究大楼。将聘请一名研究图书馆员来 执行管理和信息存储/检索活动。 在本发现期间，即1995年7月至今，具有重要意义 在建立计算机网络方面取得了进展 RCMI研究工作的基础设施。建议的TCC增强 将补充和升级现有的研究网络，通过在线 通过一系列数字图书馆实现功能和集成 资源。此外，一名实验室经理将监督动物实验。 确保所有研究人员遵守小灵通的设施 指导方针。这项活动的长期目标是 加强教职工对经费的理解和能力 和仁慈精神。这项活动的具体施舍是提供： 1)关于融资机会的信息。2)行政支持 使用一站式提案准备的教师研究开发 过程，3)行政人员的专业成长4) 对研究人员的秘书支持，以及最先进的研究 研讨会。实现这些目标的方法 包括：1)确定教职员工的资助机会 使用联邦登记册、万维网、FEDIX等来源 在线检索服务和从NCURA会议获得的信息； 2)使用一站式为研究人员提供指导和指导 提案准备过程，即行政、文字处理、 预算编制；图表、编辑和统计支助-- 项目的内部和外部审查；3)提供工作人员 通过出席NCURA和NABJ会议进行发展；4) 为研究人员提供秘书支持；5)邀请 全国和国际知名的神学院学生向 教职员工、研究助理和学生。

The proposed enhancements focus on the integration of computing and networking resources into RCMI research and education. The highlight of this proposal is on the projected, long-term goal and efforts that will position the COPPS as a model of computer-based molecular modeling and drug discovery research and education. To accomplish such a goal, we propose to enhance the existing tools and equipment for recording, retrieving, and analyzing information bases by incorporating state-of-the-art computer-based information tools. These tools are imperatives for achieving our objective of making the FAMU COPPS the central repository for RCMI-centered-information resource, reachable via the World Wide Web (VAM). Such an infrastructure is referred to as a Telecommunication and Computing Center (TCC). Further, it is important that research efforts in the RCMI project be moved to a level that incorporates computing resources, when and wherever feasible, and the successes of the research publiciz ed via the networking resources. Increase faculty, research associates and graduate students knowledge in the use of computers for on-line data retrieval, analysis, overall research, and results is important as we near the beginning of the next century. To this end, the COPPS library will be enhanced and equipped with digital library capability including CD-ROM and on-line subscriptions. The digital library will be an integral part of the TCC, housed in the new Science Research Building. A research librarian will be hired to perform administrative and information storage/retrieval activities. During the current finding period, July 1995 to present, significant strides have been gained in establishing a computing networking infrastructure for RCMI research work. The proposed TCC enhancement will complement and upgrade the existing research network with on-line capability and integration via a collection of digital library resources. In addition, a laboratory manager will oversee the ani mal facilities to ensure that all researchers are in compliance with PHS guidelines. The long-term objectives of this activity are to strengthen faculty members' capability and understanding of funding and grantsmanship. The specific alms of this activity are to provide: 1)information on funding opportunities. 2) administrative support for faculty research development using the one-stop proposal preparation process, 3) professional growth of the administrative staff 4) secretarial support for researchers, and 5) state-of-the-art research seminars. The methods by which these objectives will be accomplished include: 1) identifying funding opportunities for faculty Members using such sources as the Federal Register, the World Wide Web, FEDIX online retrievalservice and information obtain from the NCURA meeting; 2) providing guidance and mentorship to researchers using the one-stop proposal preparation process, i.e., administrative, word processing, Budget development; graphics, editorial and statistical support-, internal and external review of projects; 3 )) providing staff development through the attendance NCURA and NABJ meetings; 4) providing secretarial sup port for researchers, and 5) inviting nationally and internationally renowned seminarians to speak to the faculty, research associates and students.
