DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Florida International University (FIU) is an urban, multi campus, research university located in Miami, Florida's largest population center. The mission of this state university is to serve the people of southeast Florida, the state, the nation and the international community by imparting knowledge through excellent undergraduate and graduate teaching, by creating new knowledge through research, and by promoting public service. Five strategic themes guide the University's development: International, Environmental, Urban, Health, and Information. FlU focuses on these themes with a commitment to quality management and cultural diversity. With its current standing of 33,880 (students enrolled Fall 2002, 69.18% minority), "Health" as a designated mission area, and its stated goal to be one of the nation's top 25 public urban research universities, FlU provides a significant opportunity to develop more underrepresented minority scientists for biomedical research careers. The MBRS program at FIU has fostered faculty research by enabling selected faculty to conduct biomedical research with adequate funding for equipment and supplies as well as salary support for summer research. The program also encourages interdisciplinary interchange and facilitates resource sharing and provides faculty expenses to present their results at national meetings. Additionally, it provides the building of a research experience and data base so as to encourage the faculty to obtain additional, non-MBRS support for their research. This proposal will continue these efforts. After FlU review, 16 subprojects and 1 pilot subproject are contained in the proposal. They represent on-going research efforts within the broad spectrum of biomedical research at Florida International University, specifically in the fields of biochemistry, neurophysiology, immunology, molecular biology, computer science, nutrition, nursing, psychology, biomedical engineering, and the biophysics of molecules.

描述（由申请人提供）：佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）是一所城市，多校区，研究型大学，位于迈阿密，佛罗里达最大的人口中心。这所州立大学的使命是通过优秀的本科和研究生教学传授知识，通过研究创造新知识，并通过促进公共服务，为东南佛罗里达，国家，民族和国际社会的人民服务。五个战略主题指导大学的发展：国际，环境，城市，健康和信息。流感大学专注于这些主题，致力于质量管理和文化多样性。 流感大学目前有33，880名学生（2002年秋季入学，69.18%为少数民族学生），“健康”是指定的使命领域，其既定目标是成为全国25所顶尖的公立城市研究型大学之一，流感大学提供了一个重要的机会，为生物医学研究事业培养更多代表性不足的少数民族科学家。MBRS计划在FIU促进教师研究，使选定的教师进行生物医学研究，有足够的资金用于设备和用品以及夏季研究的工资支持。该计划还鼓励跨学科交流，促进资源共享，并提供教师费用，以在全国会议上展示他们的成果。此外，它提供了一个研究经验和数据库的建设，以鼓励教师获得额外的，非MBRS支持他们的研究。本提案将继续这些努力。经流感股审查后，建议书中包含16个子项目和1个试点子项目。他们代表了佛罗里达国际大学在生物医学研究领域正在进行的研究工作，特别是在生物化学，神经生理学，免疫学，分子生物学，计算机科学，营养学，护理学，心理学，生物医学工程和分子生物物理学领域。
