DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this application is to provide urgently needed funds for equipment purchases and laboratory alterations and renovations to supplement a recently funded COBRE award for the development of a Cardiovascular Research Center at the UH. The newly funded COBRE Center has brought three nationally recognized established investigators together in a novel mentoring initiative to assist five promising young investigators in the development of a highly interactive, multidisciplinary research program focused on the biology and pathogenetics of the blood vessel wall. The funded COBRE award has been enthusiastically supported by all the participating institutions within the UH and this support has included allocations of space and funding for partial renovations of laboratory space, for a new microscopy and histology core laboratory and a common-use glassware and autoclave facility. This supplemental application is seeking additional funding to complete these renovations and purchase equipment for both common-use for all the COBRE participants and additional equipment for the new microscopy and histology core laboratory. These supplemental funds will assist in the rapid development of this COBRE Center and enhance the short-term goal of this Center in successfully securing new R0I and P0I funding for the participating investigators. Under the new and dynamic leadership of a new President of the UH and a new Dean for the UH Medical School (The John A Burns School of Medicine; the only Medical School in Hawaii), additional funds for infrastructure development for the new COBRE Center will also assist in realizing the long term goals of the University to revitalize life sciences research through complementation of a very recent commitment of $150 million by the State of Hawaii to create a new research-intensive campus for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded health sciences-related research. This initiative has been established as a major priority by the State to assist in rapid economic diversification by encouraging the growth of biotechnology

描述（由申请人提供）： 这项申请的总体目标是为设备采购和实验室改造和翻新提供急需的资金，以补充最近资助的COBRE奖，用于在UH开发心血管研究中心。 新资助的COBRE中心将三位全国公认的研究人员聚集在一起，共同开展一项新的指导计划，以帮助五位有前途的年轻研究人员开发一个高度互动的多学科研究项目，重点是血管壁的生物学和致病机理。 资助的COBRE奖得到了UH内所有参与机构的热情支持，这种支持包括分配空间和资助实验室空间的部分翻新，用于新的显微镜和组织学核心实验室以及常用的玻璃器皿和高压灭菌设施。 这项补充申请正在寻求额外的资金，以完成这些翻新和购买设备，为所有COBRE参与者和新的显微镜和组织学核心实验室的额外设备共同使用。 这些补充资金将有助于该COBRE中心的快速发展，并加强该中心的短期目标，成功地为参与研究者获得新的R0I和P0I资金。在新的和充满活力的领导下，新总统的呃和新院长的呃医学院（John A Burns School of Medicine）夏威夷唯一的医学院），用于新COBRE中心基础设施发展的额外资金也将有助于实现大学的长期目标，即通过补充最近承诺的2000万美元，振兴生命科学研究1.5亿美元由夏威夷州创建一个新的研究密集型校园，用于美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助的健康科学相关研究。 这一倡议已被国家确定为一个主要优先事项，以通过鼓励生物技术的发展来协助迅速实现经济多样化
