INBRE: FURMAN U: FACULTY AND UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。福尔曼大学致力于通过其研究活跃的教职员工提供实质性和始终如一的计划支持，追求卓越，提高生物医学研究的能力。长期以来，该大学一直被认为是全国化学和心理学本科研究的领先者，通过发展核心设施，如增加新的和翻新的生命科学设施，并继续扩大教员职位，以包括生物信息学、神经科学和行为医学等新兴研究领域，继续增强其研究能力。在NIH-INBRE计划的帮助下，Furman旨在通过有针对性地支持其五名最有前途的年轻研究人员来提高其生物医学研究计划在全国的显赫地位和竞争力，这些研究人员是具有公认的成就记录和不仅具有独立NIH地区支持的潜力，而且具有与R01任务相一致的研究能力的教师。此外，INBRE倡议将允许在心理学系内设立一个永久扩大的职位，目的是吸引和留住第六名具有全国竞争力的调查员。重要的大学配对承诺将为项目主任和最多10名其他生物医学研究人员提供资金，这些研究人员积极向NIH和其他机构提交拨款。通过非常成功的NIH-Brin努力，Furman将与其同行的本科机构紧密联系在一起，通过培训高能力的本科生，包括通过该奖项支持的60名本科生，继续为该州再生医学的整体发展做出贡献，并针对未被充分代表的少数族裔进行具体和有针对性的拓展。福尔曼研究工作的主题重点将集中在与神经科学和癌症治疗相关的分子生物学和生物化学上。七名杰出的生物医学教员将指导福尔曼的目标研究人员；此外，为了提供一个适当的机制进行系统审查和定期评估，已经成立了一个监督委员会，其中包括三名非常杰出的生物医学研究人员的才华。

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.
