DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With a longstanding history of collaborations in education, health services research and community service, Drew University, the only historically black medical school west of the Mississippi River, and UCLA, one of this nation's premier universities, are strategically positioned to establish a multi-disciplinary, collaborative, thematically focused and integrated reproductive science research program aimed at studying the biologic effects of androgens in men and women. The Drew-UCLA Reproductive Science Research Center will augment and strengthen the research infrastructure and research capabilities of faculty and trainees at Drew University by supporting the development of several new translational and clinical research projects deemed to be of high priority and significance because of their relevance to reproductive health of men and women. The objectives of this grant proposal - to develop an integrated research program that serves as the foundation for future expansion in reproductive biology, reproductive endocrinology, and reproductive medicine at Drew - are reflected in the following specific aims: 1). Support the implementation of two reproductive science research projects that effectively use the scientific strengths of our institutions, and promote multi-disciplinary approaches to the specific research topics in the priority areas identified by this RFA; 2) Provide support for two pilot projects to generate data to facilitate the development of innovative hypotheses and studies, and support the efforts of our investigators to generate preliminary data and publications that can help assure their transition to independent funding; 3) Facilitate and formalize new collaborative networks in reproductive science between scientists at Drew University and UCLA; 4) Develop an Administrative and Planning Core to support the scientific projects. These specific aims will be accomplished by implementing two core research projects and two pilot projects, each having interrelated specific aims consistent with the Center's long-term objectives. The research projects will be supported by an Administrative and Planning Core. The proposed core and pilot projects are inter-linked by a common theme, namely, Biologic Effects of Androgens in Men and Women. Energetic program leadership, cross-disciplinary research projects that are thematically-linked and that evolve logically from our current strengths, enthusiastic commitment of bi-institutional support, a large pool of talented, participating faculty, deep historical roots of our institution in the minority communities, and strong infrastructural support from pre-existing Hormone Assay, Body Composition, RCMI [Research Center for Minority Institution] Molecular Medicine Core, and Exercise Physiology Core laboratories, and University administration, make our institution particularly suitable to benefit from this NICHD initiative.

描述（申请人提供）：在教育，卫生服务研究和社区服务合作的悠久历史，德鲁大学，唯一的历史上黑人医学院以西的密西西比河，和加州大学洛杉矶分校，这个国家的首要大学之一，战略定位是建立一个多学科，协作，主题集中和综合生殖科学研究计划，旨在研究男性和女性雄激素的生物学效应。德鲁-加州大学洛杉矶分校生殖科学研究中心将通过支持几个新的翻译和临床研究项目的发展，扩大和加强德鲁大学教师和学员的研究基础设施和研究能力，这些项目被认为是高度优先和重要的，因为它们与男性和女性的生殖健康相关。这项拨款提案的目标-开发一个综合研究计划，作为未来扩展生殖生物学，生殖内分泌学和生殖医学的基础-反映在以下具体目标中：1）。支持实施两个生殖科学研究项目，有效利用我们机构的科学优势，并促进对本区域渔业协定确定的优先领域的具体研究课题采取多学科方法; 2）支持两个试点项目，以生成数据，促进创新假设和研究的发展，并支持我们的研究人员的努力，以产生初步的数据和出版物，可以帮助确保他们过渡到独立的资金; 3）促进和正式化在德鲁大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校的科学家之间的生殖科学新的合作网络; 4）建立一个行政和规划核心，以支持科学项目。这些具体目标将通过实施两个核心研究项目和两个试点项目来实现，每个项目都有与中心的长期目标相一致的相互关联的具体目标。这些研究项目将得到行政和规划核心的支持。拟议的核心项目和试点项目通过一个共同主题相互联系，即雄激素对男性和女性的生物学影响。充满活力的计划领导，跨学科的研究项目，是主题相关的，并从我们目前的优势，双机构支持的热情承诺，有才华的，参与教师，我们的机构在少数民族社区的深厚历史根源，以及强大的基础设施支持，从预先存在的激素测定，身体成分，RCMI [少数族裔机构研究中心]分子医学核心实验室、运动生理学核心实验室和大学管理部门使我们的机构特别适合从NICHD计划中受益。
