RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE AT BENEDICT COLLEGE

本尼迪克特学院制定了一项战略， 生物医学研究的竞争力 少数民族机构基础设施项目（RIMI）。 这些目标 通过改进，扩大本尼迪克特学院的生物医学研究能力 研究设施，以加强生物医学系， 本笃学院通过招聘研究型教师，并 发展本尼迪克特学院和 卡罗莱纳索夫大学医学院，当地研究密集型 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得到扩大和升级， 生物医学系通过训练有素的， 以研究为导向的教师，他们将获得资源， 帮助他们开展研究。 在这些活动中， 研究人员之间已经制定了两项合作研究计划， 本尼迪克特学院的教授和南卡罗来纳州的 多氯联苯在生殖中的毒性和雌激素作用。 乔治麦考伊，本尼迪克特学院，首席研究员和查尔斯博士 Blake，南加州大学医学院，联合研究员;“多氯联苯的毒理学影响 ”玛丽F.本尼迪克特学院校长芬利 研究者和Clarke Millette博士，南加州大学医学院，共同研究者。 这些项目具有高度的生物医学相关性， 适合调查人员的方法和现有资源， 在互补的优势和合作教师的利益，从 两个机构。 这些合作将使本笃学院， 加强研究技能，为今后的联合研究奠定基础 努力 通过所有这些活动，本尼迪克特学院的成功 在生物医学研究支持的竞争中， 增加 一个相关的好处是，接纳和保留 本尼迪克特学生进入生物医学研究领域的博士课程将 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.
