The RCMI program at the Rio Piedras Campus of the University of Puerto Rico is requesting funds to establish a Center of AIDS Research and acquire an Imaging System as well as a Photon Counter. The AIDS Research center will provide infrastructure support to ongoing AIDS related research, stimulate collaborative research efforts, and seek to expand the number of investigators sought from NIH will greatly augment some initial funding being provided by the institution. The funds will provide release time for investigators, permit remodeling of space for the Center, equipment and technician support. With the ongoing support by RCMI to the areas of Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Spectroscopy new areas of research needs have arisen. The Imaging System will in addition to permitting our investigators new avenues of research, will also augment the quality and depth of ongoing projects in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. The Photon Counter is needed by the investigators in our Laser Spectroscopy component to accurately determine lifetime measurements in the study of biologically interesting processes. Both the AIDS Center and the expansion of our instrumentation capability will put the Rio Piedras Campus in a more competitive position to seek research funding and recruit more investigators.

波多黎各大学里约皮德拉斯校区的RCMI项目 RICO正在申请资金建立一个艾滋病研究和研究中心 购买一个成像系统以及一个光子计数器。 艾滋病研究中心将为正在进行的 艾滋病相关研究，激发合作研究努力，并寻求 扩大向美国国立卫生研究院寻求调查人员的数量将大大 增加该机构提供的一些初始资金。这个 资金将为调查人员提供释放时间，允许重塑 中心、设备和技术人员支持的空间。 在RCMI对分子生物学领域的持续支持下， 生物化学和光谱学领域出现了新的研究需求。 成像系统除了允许我们的调查人员获得新的 研究途径，也将提高正在进行的 分子生物学和生物化学项目。光子计数器是 我们激光光谱学部门的研究人员需要 在生物学研究中准确确定寿命测量 有趣的过程。 艾滋病中心和扩大我们的仪器能力 将使里约皮德拉斯校区处于更具竞争力的地位 为研究提供资金并招募更多的调查人员。
