Transitional EARDA-FRESP Award

描述（由申请人提供）：校外助理计划的目标，以促进生物医学研究和补助金活动在服务不足的人口和少数民族机构导致UOG的赞助计划办公室的发展。FRESP赠款的第一阶段提供了必要的资金和支持，以传播基础研究信息，消除现有的研究障碍，并协助建立赞助计划办公室作为研究生院和研究的实体。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，从而增加了对研究基础设施开发，科学研究应用和培训赠款的赠款申请。 一对一的资助写作活动的支持已经授权少数民族教师写由美国国立卫生研究院和国家科学基金会资助的资助申请。因此，协调一致的努力继续刺激在大学和我们在密克罗尼西亚的姐妹机构的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，它将： 1.增加教师进行生物医学和行为研究的机会，并从事岛上和岛外的研究培训。 2. 增加高层次和研究生参与研究和资助写作活动。 3. 编写成功的HCOP，桥梁，基础护理赠款，以吸引少数民族学生学习卫生专业和参与生物医学研究。 4. 继续联系我们在整个太平洋区域的姐妹学院，让它们参加培训和研究活动，以增加土著生物医学/保健专业人员的人力。 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资助的机会。

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.
