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）： 该申请的总体目标是通过为学院的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Meharry医学院（MMC）的神经科学研究。 具体而言，申请人要求提供资金，通过为CNBN中的三名教职员工增加实验室和办公室来扩大与西部基础科学中心相邻的神经科学附件，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）从生物医学科学大楼（BSB）的孤立和腐朽环境中搬迁出来神经科学附属楼 这次扩建包括两阶段建设计划的第二阶段，以加强神经科学研究。 第一个是由学院于2002年10月获得的校外研究设施奖（1 C06 RR 17559）支持的，允许将来自孤立或过时设施的七名神经科学家分为两个研究集群，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，用于行为和水迷宫研究的共享设施，以及一个核心分子神经生物学设施。 新结构将与一期附属建筑和西部中心相连。 新的实验室将由CMBN的三位成员：Clivel G.查尔顿，谁是CMBN的新主任，博士Twum Ansam和博士约翰T。克拉克 这两个阶段在相同的时间轴内协调，以便第一阶段和第二阶段的结构可以在四年内以无缝的方式建造。
