DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is widely recognized that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have served as a unique national asset for the initial development of minorities in the health professions. Although HBCUs have excelled at creating a nurturing educational environment, these institutions have historically lacked depth and breadth in their research infrastructure. The Atlanta University Center includes a consortium of HBCUs (ie Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), Spelman College, Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University) that collectively educate one of the nation's largest populations of African-American students. The MSM is strategically poised to establish a vibrant, state-of-the-art, research environment that is intimately connected with this rich resource of talented minority students. In the pursuit of this objective, MSM used the HBCU Research Scientist/Center of Excellence Award (HBCU-COE) to recruit Dr. Gary H. Gibbons as the founding director of our Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI). In addition to broadening the scope of educational opportunities for minority students, this model program has established a center of excellence that is advancing the field of cardiovascular science and addressing ethnic disparities in cardiovascular health. Over the past five years, the CVRI has exceeded all expectations in rapidly establishing a robust research program that has gained national recognition based on its commitment to high quality science. The proposed renewal of the HBCU-COE award builds on this foundation by including an innovative set of initiatives that will further enhance the opportunities for faculty/students to become leading scientists. Our specific aims are: Aim I. To recruit and mentor a critical mass of talented young investigators capable of developing independent research programs within the collaborative setting of the CVRI Center of Excellence. Aim II. To establish enabling technologies, a research infrastructure and a collaborative research environment that supports cutting-edge cardiovascular research. Aim HI. To expand the ethnic diversity of the biomedical research community by creating a vibrant and nurturing intellectual environment conducive to research training for minority students.

描述（由申请人提供）： 人们普遍认为，历史上黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 是少数族裔在卫生专业领域初期发展的独特国家资产。尽管 HBCU 在创造培育教育环境方面表现出色，但这些机构的研究基础设施历来缺乏深度和广度。亚特兰大大学中心包括一个由 HBCU 组成的联盟（即莫尔豪斯医学院 (MSM)、斯佩尔曼学院、莫尔豪斯学院和克拉克亚特兰大大学），共同教育美国非裔美国学生人数最多的大学之一。 MSM 战略性地准备建立一个充满活力、最先进的研究环境，与这一丰富的少数民族学生资源紧密相连。为了实现这一目标，MSM 利用 HBCU 研究科学家/卓越中心奖 (HBCU-COE) 聘请 Gary H. Gibbons 博士作为我们心血管研究所 (CVRI) 的创始主任。除了扩大少数族裔学生的教育机会范围外，该示范项目还建立了一个卓越中心，该中心正在推进心血管科学领域的发展并解决心血管健康方面的种族差异。在过去的五年里，CVRI 超出了所有人的预期，迅速建立了强大的研究项目，该项目因其对高质量科学的承诺而获得了国家认可。 HBCU-COE 奖项的拟议续展建立在这一基础上，其中包括一系列创新举措，这些举措将进一步增加教师/学生成为领先科学家的机会。我们的具体目标是： 目标 I. 招募和指导一批有才华的年轻研究人员，他们能够在 CVRI 卓越中心的协作环境中开发独立研究项目。目标二。建立支持尖端心血管研究的支持技术、研究基础设施和协作研究环境。瞄准高。通过培养充满活力和培养的知识分子来扩大生物医学研究界的种族多样性 有利于少数民族学生研究训练的环境。
