DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ultimate research goal of the Morehouse School of Medicine is to achieve a level of biomedical research capability, and productivity that is equal to that of any medical institution. Toward that goal, funds are requested in this five year renewal application with the overall topic of: "Tissue Protection and Reparative Mechanisms". In this application we plan to (1) consolidate research core activities into groupings encompassing similar technologies, and build new technologies within the reorganized cores that will allow MSM to move ahead in its goal of building a research intense environment. These cores will: (2) foster development of research focus areas falling under the umbrella of our application topic at MSM, which cross basic science and clinical disciplines, and are appropriate to the school's mission. This will be accomplished through funding technical salaries and limited non-personnel support for (a) the development of collaborative research activities in four research areas: Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Reproductive Biology, and Vascular Biology; and (b) development of faculty infrastructure through the development of research programs through these individual research projects for new or junior faculty members. We also plan to fund a second set of developmental applications (one or two) during Years 3-5 of this application cycle, and we envision establishing an annual Research Symposium at MSM focused each year on a different research area falling under our research topic. (3) Finally, we plan to extend our current AIDS Nef Pathogenesis research team, and expand our AIDS focus area, through recruitment of postdoctoral candidates, and enhancing their careers through a comprehensive developmental program. Simultaneously, we will establish the organizational structure necessary to enhance the research and the funding of the pathogenesis group. Achievement of these several objectives will move Morehouse School of Medicine to a new plateau of biomedical research excellence, and make substantial contributions to the fight against AIDS and other diseases that affect underserved populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯医学院的最终研究目标是实现生物医学研究能力的水平，以及与任何医疗机构相同的生产力。为了实现这一目标，在这五年的延续申请中要求资金，总的主题是：“组织保护和修复机制”。在本申请中，我们计划（1）将研究核心活动整合到包含类似技术的组中，并在重组的核心中构建新技术，这将使MSM能够在构建研究密集型环境的目标中向前迈进。这些核心将：（2）促进研究重点领域的发展，这些领域属于我们在MSM的应用主题的保护伞下，跨越基础科学和临床学科，并适合学校的使命。这将通过资助技术工资和有限的非人员支持来实现：（a）在四个研究领域开展合作研究活动：癌症，传染病，生殖生物学和血管生物学;和（B）通过为新的或初级教师开发这些个人研究项目来发展研究计划，从而发展教师基础设施。我们还计划在本申请周期的第3-5年资助第二组开发应用程序（一个或两个），我们设想在MSM建立一个年度研究研讨会，每年集中在我们研究主题下的不同研究领域。(3)最后，我们计划扩大我们目前的艾滋病Nef发病机制研究团队，并扩大我们的艾滋病重点领域，通过招聘博士后候选人，并通过全面的发展计划提高他们的职业生涯。同时，我们将建立必要的组织结构，以加强发病机制小组的研究和资助。这几个目标的实现将使莫尔豪斯医学院进入生物医学研究卓越的新平台，并为防治艾滋病和影响服务不足人群的其他疾病做出重大贡献。
