This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Furman University is committed to pursuing excellence and increasing capacity in biomedical research through the substantive and consistent programmatic support of its research-active faculty. Long recognized as a national leader in undergraduate research in chemistry and psychology, the University continues to bolster its capacity for research through the development of core facilities such as the addition of new and renovated life science facilities and the continued expansion of faculty positions to include emerging areas of inquiry such as bioinformatics, neuroscience and behavioral medicine. With the assistance of the NIH-INBRE program, Furman aims to increase the national prominence and competitiveness of its biomedical research programs through the targeted support of five of its most promising young investigators, faculty with a demonstrated record of achievement and the potential not only for independent NIH-AREA support, but also a research capacity consistent with an R01 mission. In addition, the INBRE initiative will allow for a permanent expansion position within the Psychology Department aimed to attract and retain a sixth nationally competitive investigator. Significant university matching commitments will provide funding for the Project Director and up to ten additional biomedical investigators actively pursuing grant submission to NIH and other agencies. In concert with its peer undergraduate institutions, closely networked by a highly successful NIH-BRIN effort, Furman will continue to contribute to the overall growth of regenerative medicine in-state through the training of highly capable undergraduates, including sixty supported through this award, with a specific and targeted outreach to underrepresented minorities. The thematic focus of Furman's research efforts will center on molecular biology and biochemistry relating to neuroscience and cancer therapy. Seven distinguished biomedical faculty will mentor Furman's targeted investigators; moreover, to provide an appropriate mechanism for systematic review and periodic assessment, an oversight committee that incorporates the talents of three highly prominent biomedical investigators has been constituted.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。弗曼大学致力于追求卓越，并通过其研究活跃的教师的实质性和一致的计划支持，提高生物医学研究的能力。长期以来被公认为化学和心理学本科研究的国家领导者，该大学继续通过发展核心设施来加强其研究能力，例如增加新的和翻新的生命科学设施，并继续扩大教师职位，以包括新兴的调查领域，如生物信息学，神经科学和行为医学。在NIH-INBRE计划的帮助下，弗曼旨在通过五名最有前途的年轻研究人员的有针对性的支持来提高其生物医学研究计划的国家知名度和竞争力，这些研究人员不仅具有独立的NIH-AREA支持的潜力，而且还具有与R01使命一致的研究能力。此外，INBRE计划将允许心理学系内的永久性扩展职位，旨在吸引和留住第六名具有全国竞争力的调查员。重要的大学匹配承诺将为项目主任和多达10名额外的生物医学研究人员提供资金，积极寻求向NIH和其他机构提交赠款。在与同行的本科院校，通过一个非常成功的NIH-BRIN努力密切联网，弗曼将继续通过培养高能力的本科生，包括通过这个奖项支持60促进再生医学在状态的整体增长，具体和有针对性的推广到代表性不足的少数民族。弗曼的研究工作的主题重点将集中在与神经科学和癌症治疗有关的分子生物学和生物化学。七位杰出的生物医学教师将指导弗曼的目标研究人员;此外，为了提供一个适当的系统审查和定期评估机制，一个监督委员会，其中包括三位非常杰出的生物医学研究人员的才能。
