MBRS Support of Continuous Research Excellence at FIU

佛罗里达国际大学是位于佛罗里达州最大的城市迈阿密的一所授予博士学位的机构 人口中心。这所州立大学的使命是为佛罗里达州东南部的人民服务， 通过优秀的教学传授知识，创造新的 通过研究和培养创造力及其表达能力来获取知识。1996年，流感正式改变了它的 在“迈向顶峰”的使命宣言中，将“健康”作为主要战略主题之一。 鉴于目前有69%的少数族裔学生，“健康”被指定为任务区，其声明 目标是成为全国顶尖的公立城市研究型大学之一，流感提供了一个重要的机会 培养更多代表不足的少数族裔科学家从事生物医学研究事业。 Flu的MBR计划通过使选定的教员能够进行 为生物医学研究提供充足的设备和用品以及实验室支持 暑期研究。该计划还鼓励跨学科交流，促进资源共享 并提供教职员工费用，以便在全国会议上展示他们的结果。此外，它还提供了 建立研究经验和数据库，以鼓励教员获得更多的、非 MBR为他们的研究提供了支持。 这项设备提案将继续计分补助金的努力，这是目前正在进行的 在佛罗里达国际大学的研究，特别是在生物化学，免疫学， 微生物学、神经生理学、分子生物学和生物医学工程。流感MBRS评分 该计划将于2002年4月1日进入四年奖项的第三个年头。有7个激活的子项目和所有 项目正在如期进行。该方案已经达到了第一年和第二年的目标以及拟议的设备 将有助于继续取得成功的可能性。

Florida International University is an urban, doctoral granting institution located in Miami, Florida's largest population center. The mission of this state university is to serve the people of southeast Florida, the state, the nation and the international community by imparting knowledge through excellent teaching, creating new knowledge through research and fostering creativity and its expression. In 1996, FlU formally changed its mission statement "Reaching for the Top" to include "Health" as one of its primary strategic themes. With its current standing of 69% minority students, "Health" as a designated mission area, and its stated goal to be one of the nation's top public urban research universities, FlU provides a significant opportunity to develop more underrepresented minority scientists for biomedical research careers. The MBRS program at FlU has fostered faculty research by enabling selected faculty to conduct biomedical research with adequate funding for equipment and supplies as well as laboratory support for summer research. The program also encourages interdisciplinary interchange, facilitates resource sharing and provides faculty expenses to present their results at national meetings. Additionally, it provides the building of a research experience and data base so as to encourage the faculty to obtain additional, non- MBRS support for their research. This proposal for equipment will continue the efforts of the SCORE grant which represents ongoing research at Florida International University, specifically in the fields of biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, neurophysiology, molecular biology and biomedical engineering. The FlU MBRS SCORE program will enter its third year of a four year award on 04/01/02. There are 7 active subprojects and all projects are on target. The program has met its objectives for years 1 and 2 and the proposed equipment would contribute to the probability of continued success.
