DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this application is to expand and strengthen the conduct of neuroscience research at Meharry Medical College (MMC) by constructing new laboratory and research support facilities for the college's Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN). Specifically, the applicant requests funds to enlarge the Neuroscience Annex adjacent to the West Basic Sciences Center by adding laboratories and offices for three faculty members in the CNBN, and to add shared facilities for animal behavior studies and water maze studies to the Annex, to relocate the Molecular Neurobiology Core Facility (MNCF) from its isolated and decaying setting in the Biomedical Sciences Building (BSB) to the Neuroscience Annex. This expansion comprises the second phase of a two-phase construction program to augment neuroscience research. The first, supported by an Extramural Research Facilities award that the college received in October 2002 (1 C06 RR17559), allowed to group seven neuroscientists from isolated or obsolete facilities into two research clusters, one for electrophysiology and one for molecular neurobiology. In Phase II, as detailed in this application, plans are to expand the clusters created in Phase I by extending the Annex to include three new laboratories and offices, shared facilities for behavioral and water maze studies, and a core molecular neurobiology facility. The new structure will be contiguous with both the Phase I Annex and the West Center. The new laboratories will be occupied by the three members of the CMBN: Dr. Clivel G. Charlton, who is the new director of CMBN; Dr. Twum Ansam; and Dr. John T. Clark. The two phases are coordinated within the same timeline so that the Phase I and Phase II structures can be constructed in a seamless manner over four years.

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项申请的总体目标是通过为梅哈里医学院分子和行为神经科学中心(CMBN)建设新的实验室和研究支持设施，扩大和加强梅哈里医学院(MMC)的神经科学研究。具体地说，申请者申请资金来扩大与西部基础科学中心相邻的神经科学附属设施，为CNBN的三名教职员工增加实验室和办公室，并在附件中增加动物行为研究和水迷宫研究的共享设施，将分子神经生物学核心设施(MNCF)从生物医学大楼(BSB)的孤立和腐烂的环境搬迁到神经科学附属设施。这一扩展包括两个阶段建设计划的第二阶段，以加强神经科学研究。第一个由学院在2002年10月获得的校外研究设施奖(1 C06 RR17559)支持，允许来自孤立或陈旧设施的7名神经科学家分成两个研究集群，一个是电生理学，一个是分子神经生物学。在第二阶段，如本申请所述，计划通过扩展附件来扩大第一阶段创建的集群，包括三个新的实验室和办公室、共享的行为和水迷宫研究设施，以及一个核心分子神经生物学设施。新建筑将与第一期附属建筑和西部中心毗邻。新的实验室将由CMBN的三名成员占据：CMBN的新任主任克里维尔·G·查尔顿博士、吐姆·安萨姆博士和约翰·T·克拉克博士。两个阶段在同一时间线内协调，以便第一阶段和第二阶段结构可以在四年内无缝建造。
