DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Extramural Associate program's objectives to promote biomedical research and grant activities in underserved populations and minority institutions have led to UOG's development of an Office of Sponsored Programs. Phase I of the FRESP grant provided the funding and support necessary to disseminate basic research information and remove existing barriers to research, and also assisted with the establishment of the Office of Sponsored Programs as an entity of the Graduate School & Research. Funding from Phase II of the FRESP grant supports faculty and other biomedical professionals in Guam and Micronesia in grantsmanship activities leading to increased submittal of grant applications for research infrastructure development, scientific research applications and training grants for diverse healthcare professionals. One-on-one support of grant writing activities has empowered minority faculty to write grant applications that were funded by NIH and NSF. As a result, concerted efforts continue to stimulate research and grant writing activities at the university and our sister institutions in Micronesia. Funding from the Transition Award would help towards the realization of this goal. Furthermore, it would: 1. Enhance faculty opportunities to conduct biomedical and behavioral research and engage in research training on and off-island. 2. Increase upper-level and graduate student participation in research and grant writing activities. 3. Write successful HCOP, BRIDGES, Basic Nursing grants to attract minority students to study for the health professions and participate in biomedical research. 4. Continue to reach our sister colleges throughout the Pacific Region to include them in training and research activities that will increase indigenous biomedical/ health professional manpower. 5. Continue to enhance and expand information technology to further obtain and disseminate federal and private funding opportunities.

描述(由申请者提供)：校外助理计划的目标是在服务不足的人群和少数族裔机构中促进生物医学研究和赠款活动，这导致了UOG建立了一个赞助项目办公室。FRESP赠款的第一阶段提供了传播基本研究信息和消除现有研究障碍所需的资金和支持，并协助建立了作为研究生院和研究的一个实体的赞助项目办公室。来自FRESP赠款第二阶段的资金支持关岛和密克罗尼西亚的教师和其他生物医学专业人员开展赠款活动，导致提交更多的赠款申请，用于研究基础设施开发、科学研究申请和不同医疗保健专业人员的培训赠款。对拨款编写活动的一对一支持使少数族裔教职员工能够撰写由NIH和NSF资助的拨款申请。因此，该大学和我们在密克罗尼西亚的姐妹机构继续作出协调一致的努力，鼓励开展研究和赠款写作活动。过渡奖提供的资金将有助于实现这一目标。此外，它还将： 1.增加教员在岛上和岛外进行生物医学和行为研究以及进行研究培训的机会。 2.增加高层和研究生对研究和补助金撰写活动的参与。 3.编写成功的HCOP、桥梁、基础护理助学金，以吸引少数族裔学生进入卫生专业学习并参与生物医学研究。 4.继续联系我们在整个太平洋区域的姊妹学院，将它们纳入培训和研究活动，以增加土著生物医学/卫生专业人员。 5.继续加强和扩大信息技术，以进一步获得和传播联邦和私人供资机会。
