DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Benedict College EARDA Program is to enhance and strengthen the participation of the institution in biomedical research and research training. With this competing continuation application we seek continued EARDA support to further enhance and expand our on-going research activities and student training in biomedical sciences. Since the start of the Benedict College EARDA/FRESP support in the fall of 2001, the EA has diligently developed the implementation plan, the advisory committee and successfully administered the office of sponsored biomedical research. Our research capacity has expanded significantly as evidenced by increased external funding and faculty productivity. The major accomplishments that have resulted in Phase II FRESP award include funding of the MBRS RISE Program and continued collaborative research with the University of South Carolina (USC) School of Medicine through the South Carolina EPSCoR/INBRE collaborative research program. Students participated in pilot studies and attended and presented at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students for the last three years. Through increased grant submission, collaboration and funding, the EARDA Program has significantly strengthened the biomedical research infrastructure at Benedict College. With this revised competing continuation we plan to fund pilot studies that will promote and increase participation of both minority faculty and students in biomedical research and research training. Additionally we plan to expand and strengthen student research, the visiting scientist seminar program and grant writing workshop. With the adoption of the second PI, who is the Associate Vice President for Sponsored Programs, the team will strengthen the research administration infrastructure at Benedict College. The two PIs will work together and implement the leadership development plan. Consistent with the goals of the EARDA program and accomplishments of the initial proposal, Benedict College has collaborative research programs and proposals with USC School of Medicine, USC School of Public Heath and the Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina. This proposal will continue to strengthen these collaborations by increasing the number of participating faculty and students and strengthening our research infrastructure. This arrangement will enable us to use available resources most judiciously and offer research training to our students most efficiently. Thus, our students will be successful in achieving careers in science and research. The Advisory Committee will meet and evaluate the Program with formal assessment tools using the criteria as proposed in the application. Through the newly established office of Sponsored Programs and Research the college is committed to expand capacity building beyond the funding period. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Through this revised application Benedict College requests two years of transitional support for the EARDA Program. The institution is committed in enabling its environment for research infrastructures and capacity that has been demonstrated by expanding the recently established Office of Sponsored Programs and Research. This project will support more faculty and student research and build necessary alliances for collaboration and partnership with other research intensive institutions/organizations. This office is committed to develop and implement an institutional/leadership development plan in order to provide necessary support to strengthen and extend this project beyond the funding period.

描述（由申请人提供）：本尼迪克特学院EARDA计划的目标是提高和加强本机构在生物医学研究和研究培训方面的参与。通过这一竞争性的延续申请，我们寻求EARDA的持续支持，以进一步加强和扩大我们正在进行的生物医学科学研究活动和学生培训。自本尼迪克特学院EARDA/FRESP于2001年秋季开始支持以来，EA一直在努力制定实施计划、咨询委员会并成功地管理赞助生物医学研究办公室。我们的研究能力得到了显著的扩展，这可以从外部资金和教师生产力的增加中得到证明。导致FRESP二期奖的主要成就包括MBRS RISE项目的资助，以及通过南卡罗来纳州EPSCoR/INBRE合作研究项目与南卡罗来纳大学医学院的持续合作研究。过去三年，学生们参加了试点研究，并出席了少数民族学生年度生物医学研究会议。通过增加拨款申请、合作和资金，EARDA项目大大加强了本尼迪克特学院的生物医学研究基础设施。通过这一修订后的竞争性延续，我们计划资助试点研究，以促进和增加少数民族教师和学生参与生物医学研究和研究培训。此外，我们计划扩大和加强学生研究、访问科学家研讨会计划和拨款写作工作坊。随着第二位PI（负责赞助项目的助理副总裁）的加入，该团队将加强本尼迪克特学院的研究管理基础设施。这两个pi将共同努力，实施领导力发展计划。根据EARDA项目的目标和最初提案的成就，Benedict学院与南加州大学医学院、南加州大学公共卫生学院和南卡罗来纳医科大学霍林斯癌症中心有合作研究项目和提案。这项提案将通过增加参与的教师和学生的数量以及加强我们的研究基础设施来继续加强这些合作。这种安排将使我们能够最明智地利用现有资源，并最有效地为我们的学生提供研究培训。因此，我们的学生将在科学和研究事业上取得成功。咨询委员会将根据申请中提出的标准，使用正式的评估工具对项目进行评估。通过新成立的资助项目和研究办公室，学院致力于扩大资助期后的能力建设。
