DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Savannah State University (SSU) operated a minority biomedical research support (MBRS) program from 1975-1989; the program provided training for several undergraduate students and faculty in the College of Sciences and Technology (COST). In 1999, Dr. Chetty's (Program Director's) MBRS-SCORE approved project was funded under the R21 mechanism for 2 years to establish a "Core-Facility" and rejuvenate the biomedical research program. In April 2001, SSU established an MBRS-SCORE program with one subproject and one pilot project. The two subprojects and four pilot projects submitted in this application by COST faculty will further strengthen biomedical research program at SSU. Recently, COST acquired several items of modern equipment through Federal and State grants as well as seed money from the NIH/ERDA project to improve the research infrastructure and initiate faculty research. The MBRS program seeks funding to revitalize and stimulate biomedical research at SSU. The primary goal of this project is thus to improve the infrastructure further and to motivate the faculty to conduct competitive and advanced research in the biomedical sciences. The scope of the subprojects and pilot projects in the application include neurotoxicology, hematology, plant molecular biology, biochemistry and environmental sciences. The MBRS-SCORE program at SSU proposes the following activities: 1) to motivate and enhance faculty development in biomedical research, 2) to strengthen and maintain the modern Core-Facility for faculty and undergraduate biomedical research, and 3) to improve the collaboration between SSU and several other research intensive institutions. The faculty members participating in the MBRS-SCORE program are highly qualified scientists and have an impressive record of research publications. If funded, the proposed program will enable SSU to strengthen its biomedical research base and enhance opportunities for the faculty to seek competitive funding for research.

描述（由申请人提供）：萨凡纳州立大学（SSU）在1975年至1989年期间开展了少数民族生物医学研究支持（MBRS）计划；该计划为科学技术学院（成本）的几名本科生和教师提供培训。1999年，Chetty博士（项目主任）的MBRS-SCORE批准项目在R21机制下获得了为期2年的资助，以建立一个“核心设施”，振兴生物医学研究项目。2001年4月，南苏大学建立了mbr - score项目，包括一个子项目和一个试点项目。本申请中所提交的2个子项目和4个试点项目将进一步加强SSU的生物医学研究项目。最近，成本通过联邦和州拨款以及来自NIH/ERDA项目的种子资金获得了几项现代化设备，以改善研究基础设施并启动教师研究。MBRS计划寻求资金来振兴和刺激SSU的生物医学研究。因此，该项目的主要目标是进一步改善基础设施，并激励教师在生物医学科学领域进行有竞争力的先进研究。应用的子项目和试点项目范围包括神经毒理学、血液学、植物分子生物学、生物化学和环境科学。SSU的MBRS-SCORE计划提出以下活动：1)激励和加强教师在生物医学研究方面的发展，2)加强和维护教师和本科生生物医学研究的现代核心设施，以及3)改善SSU与其他几个研究密集型机构之间的合作。参与MBRS-SCORE计划的教师是高素质的科学家，并有令人印象深刻的研究出版物记录。如果获得资助，拟议的项目将使SSU加强其生物医学研究基础，并增加教师寻求竞争性研究资金的机会。
