Supplement for South Carolina BRIN - 1P20 RR16461

描述（由申请人提供）：SC-BRIN的补充提案旨在增强我们解决BRIN计划三个主要目标的能力-发展全州研究能力，研究和本科机构的网络以及这些机构之间的支线系统的发展，以及3)加强少数民族学生和机构的研究活动。为了实现这些目标，我们建议：1)扩大生物信息学核心（BC）的活动，为生物信息学活动提供更强大的专业支持，并增加全州生物信息学资源的可及性；2)增加对我们的合作研究计划（CRP）的支持，该计划在全州的导师、导师和外展机构的研究人员和学生之间建立研究网络；3)支持购买主要仪器，以增强弗曼大学（FU）、南卡罗来纳医科大学和南卡罗来纳大学医学院（USCSM）研究活动的基础设施；4)扩大SCBRIN网络，将私立历史黑人学院或大学（HBCU）作为SCBRIN的额外指导机构，并支持CU基因组学研究能力的发展；5)通过支持雇用新教师，增加南卡罗来纳州立大学（SCSU）（该州唯一的公立HBCU）的教师研究潜力，从而加强两所相邻的HBCU （CU和SCSU）之间的基因组学/蛋白质组学研究互动；6)支持南加州大学公共卫生学院开展一项新的推广项目，解决少数民族和农村健康倡议，包括肥胖和糖尿病，并直接涉及南加州大学的平行项目。SC-BRIN的这些改进将大大加强SC-BRIN网络，并提高我们实现BRIN项目总体目标的能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Supplement proposal for the SC-BRIN is designed to enhance our ability to address three major objectives of the BRIN program - development of statewide research capacity, networking of research and undergraduate institutions and development of a feeder system between these institutions, and 3) enhancement of research activity for minority students and institutions. To achieve these goals, we propose: 1) to expand the activities of the Bioinformatics Core (BC) in order to provide stronger professional support for bioinformatics activities and to increase statewide access to bioinformatics resources; 2) to increase support for our Collaborative Research Program (CRP), which develops research networks among researchers and students at Mentor, Mentored and Outreach institutions throughout the state; 3) to support the purchase of major instrumentation to enhance the infrastructure for research activities at Furman University (FU), the Medical University of South Carolina, and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine (USCSM); 4) to expand the SCBRIN network by including CU, a private Historically Black College or University (HBCU), as an additional Mentored Institutions of the SC-BRIN, and supporting the development of the genomics research capacity at CU; 5) to increase faculty research potential at South Carolina State University (SCSU), the state's only public HBCU, by supporting the hiring of a new faculty, thereby enhancing the genomics/proteomics research interaction between two neighboring Mentored HBCUs, CU and SCSU; and 6) to support the development of a new outreach program from the USC School of Public Health, addressing minority and rural health initiatives, including obesity and diabetes, and directly involving parallel programs at SCSU. These enhancements to the SC-BRIN will substantially strengthen the SC-BRIN network and increase our ability to achieve the overall goals of the BRIN program.
