Hampton University Biomedical Research Center

描述(由申请人提供)： 汉普顿大学(HU)生物医学研究中心(BRC)将成为真正的全国性资源：一个位于历史悠久的黑人大学校园内的最先进的、跨学科的研究设施。BRC将成为小型大学校园综合研究和培训的旗舰。不幸的是，胡目前没有任何专门的现代研究建筑。国家还迫切需要教育渠道的多样性和高质量研究生课程的增长。BRC将培养少数族裔科学家，培养熟练的专业人员和多样化的劳动力。胡独一无二地做好了利用这一挑战的准备。这一拟议设施将创造足够的研究空间能力，这对于吸引有竞争力的研究人员至关重要，同时支持对年轻科学家的专家培训。BRC将巩固和极大地提高目前分散在校园和校外医院设施、联邦实验室和我们市场上的其他机构的研究活动的生产率。将这些研究活动集中到一个单一的研究设施中，将支持教师、教职员工和学生在跨学科环境中相互关联的科学发展。这还将利用支持相关研究领域的现有研究优势，这些领域可以在现有坚实的科学基础上进行探索。在BRC中，令人信服的科学问题将从多个方面受到攻击。这将创造一个充满活力的环境，鼓励研究人员着眼于其重点领域以外的领域，将其他科学的战略信息也纳入他们的研究中。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Hampton University (HU) Biomedical Research Center (BRC) will be a genuine national resource: a state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary, research facility situated on campus at an Historically Black University. The BRC will become a flagship for integrated research and training on a small university campus. Unfortunately, HU does not currently have any dedicated modern research buildings. There also exists a critical national need for diversity in the educational pipeline and a need for growth in quality graduate programs. The BRC will develop minority scientists and create skilled professional and a diverse workforce. HU is uniquely poised to capitalize on this challenge. This proposed facility will create sufficient research space capacity, critically needed to attract competitive investigators, while supporting the expert training of young scientists. The BRC will consolidate and greatly improve productivity of research activities currently dispersed across campus and located off campus at hospital facilities, federal laboratories, and other institutions in our market. The clustering of these research activities into a single research facility will support interconnected scientific growth in an interdisciplinary environment for faculty, staff and students. This will also leverage the existing research strengths supporting related research areas, which can be explored within the foundation of an existing solid scientific base. Compelling scientific questions will be assailed from multiple fronts, in the BRC. This will create a dynamic environment where researchers will be encouraged to look both at and beyond their focused areas to incorporate into their studies strategic information from other sciences as well.
