RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE AT BENEDICT COLLEGE

本尼迪克特学院制定了一项战略，以加强机构能力 通过研究提高生物医学研究的竞争力 少数民族机构基础设施方案(RIMI)我们的目标是 通过改进扩大本尼迪克特学院的生物医学研究能力 的研究设施，以加强生物医学学院在 本尼迪克特学院通过招聘以研究为导向的教师，并 在本尼迪克特学院和 圣卡罗来纳大学地中海分校，当地研究密集型大学 机构。生物医学研究空间、设施和实验室 本尼迪克特学院的设备将进行扩建和升级，以及 通过上瘾训练有素的生物医学教师， 以研究为导向的教职员工将获得以下资源 协助他们开展研究。在开展这些活动的同时， 研究人员之间已经制定了两个合作研究计划 在本尼迪克特学院教授和南卡罗来纳大学 医学；“多氯联苯在生殖过程中的毒性和雌激素作用”，Dr。 乔治·麦考伊，本尼迪克特学院，首席研究员和查尔斯博士 布莱克，南加州大学医学院，联合研究员；多氯联苯的毒理学效应 在精子发生期间“玛丽·芬利博士，本尼迪克特学院，校长 调查员和南加州大学医学院的克拉克·米莱特博士，合作调查员。 这些项目具有很高的生物医学相关性，使用具有挑战性 适合调查人员的方法和可用的资源，建立 关于合作教员的优势和兴趣互补 两个机构都是。这些合作将使本尼迪克特教员能够 强化研究技能，为今后联合研究奠定基础 努力。通过这些活动，本尼迪克特学院的成功 在生物医学研究支持的竞争中将显著 增加了。相关的好处将是接纳和保留 本尼迪克特大学的学生进入生物医学研究领域的博士项目将 增加。

Benedict College has developed a strategy to enhance institutional capacity and competitiveness for biomedical research through the Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions Program (RIMI). The goals are to expand biomedical research capacity at Benedict College through improvement of the facilities for research, to strengthen the biomedical faculty at Benedict College through recruitment of research oriented faculty, and to develop collaborative investigations between Benedict College and the University of Sough Carolina Sch of Med, a local research intensive institution. Biomedical research space, facilities and laboratory equipment at Benedict College would be expanded and upgraded, and biomedical faculty enhanced through the addiction of highly trained, research orientated faculty members who will be provided with resources to assist them initiate their research. In association with these activities, two collaborative research plans have been developed between investigators at Benedict College professors and the university of South Carolina Sch of Medicine; "Toxic and Estrogenic Actions of PCBs in Reproduction", Dr. George McCoy, Benedict College, Principal Investigator and Dr. Charles Blake, USC medical School, Co-investigator; "Toxicological Effects of PCBs during Spermatogenesis" Dr. Mary F. Finlay, Benedict College, Principal Investigator and Dr. Clarke Millette, USC Medical School, Coinvestigator. These projects are of high biomedical relevance, employ challenging methodologies appropriate for investigators and resources available, build upon complementary strengths and interests of collaborating faculty from both institutions. These collaborations will enable Benedict faculty to strengthen research skills and provide a basis for future joint research endeavors. Through all these activities, the success of Benedict College in competition for biomedical research support will be significantly increased. An associated benefit will be that admission and retention of Benedict students into doctoral programs in biomedical research fields will increase.
