项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alabama State University (ASU) seeks to support its commitment to research excellence by applying for continuation of its successful Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS)-Support of Continuous Research Excellence (SCORE) Program. Funding is requested for four (4) years (2004-2008) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)/National Institutes of Health (NIH). The overall Goal of the proposed ASU MBRS-SCORE Program is to advance the vision and mission of the MBRS-SCORE Program to develop biomedical research faculty at minority-serving institutions who are committed to improving competitive research programs and increasing the number of underrepresented minorities professionally engaged in biomedical research. The proposed ASU MBRS-SCORE Program features two (2) research projects in the disciplines of sensory physiology, molecular virology and environmental bioremediation, respectively. The first subproject will study the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in the mammalian vomeronasal organ, a chemosensory organ that mediates the perception of pheromones affecting reproductive behavior and physiology. The second subproject will assess the immunoprotective effects of a DNA vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), one of the most common viral causes of upper and lower respiratory tract disease leading to bronchiolitis and pneumonia. An administrative component aims to facilitate coordinated operation of the Program's research and programmatic activities, assure unified, synergistic interface of the Program with the goals, objectives and activities of the University's highly successful existing Biomedical Research and Training Programs, and evaluate the progress of the individual subprojects and overall Program toward attainment of its proposed aims. The proposed ASU MBRS-SCORE Program will ultimately contribute to enhancing the biomedical research capability of Alabama State University by providing expanded opportunities for underrepresented minorities to engage in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：亚拉巴马州立大学（ASU）旨在通过申请继续其成功的少数民族生物医学研究支持（MBRS）-支持持续研究卓越（SCORE）计划来支持其对研究卓越的承诺。国家普通医学科学研究所（NIGMS）/国家卫生研究院（NIH）要求提供四（4）年（2004-2008）的资金。拟议的ASU MBRS-SCORE计划的总体目标是推进MBRS-SCORE计划的愿景和使命，以发展少数民族服务机构的生物医学研究教师，他们致力于提高竞争力的研究项目，并增加专业从事生物医学研究的代表性不足的少数民族的数量。拟议的ASU MBRS-SCORE计划包括两（2）个研究项目，分别涉及感官生理学、分子病毒学和环境生物修复。第一个子项目将研究哺乳动物犁鼻器中信号转导的分子机制，犁鼻器是一种化学感受器官，介导影响生殖行为和生理的信息素的感知。第二个子项目将评估DNA疫苗对呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）的免疫保护作用，RSV是导致细支气管炎和肺炎的上呼吸道和下呼吸道疾病的最常见病毒原因之一。行政组成部分旨在促进该计划的研究和计划活动的协调运作，确保该计划与大学非常成功的现有生物医学研究和培训计划的目标，目的和活动的统一，协同接口，并评估各个子项目和整体计划的进展情况，以实现其拟议目标。拟议的亚利桑那州立大学MBRS-SCORE计划将最终有助于提高亚拉巴马州立大学的生物医学研究能力，为代表性不足的少数民族提供更多的机会，从事生物医学研究。
