DESCRIPTION (Provided by the Applicant): The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC) is a Hispanic-serving institution that resides in the southernmost tip of Texas with a predominantly Hispanic, poor, and underserved population. The university has made remarkable progress over the last ten years towards developing competitive research programs. UTB/TSC seeks to continue the university's momentum in research infrastructure development. UTB/TSC has prioritized biomedical research for the investigation of diseases that affect this population and is positioned to become the leading health related research institution that addresses health disparities and the growing health needs of the region. The continuation of the RIMI program will provide the mechanism for UTB/TSC to accelerate the implementation of the university's research plans through enhancing research facilities and the research environment for students and faculty. The five-year plan emphasizes four core functions to create an active and supportive research environment for faculty and future scientists. These cores include 1) strengthening the research infrastructure that sustains and enhances biomedical research at UTB/TSC; 2) enhancing the research training capacity to further develop junior research scientists through career development planning; 3) developing curricular changes and student training activities that will improve student preparation in biomedical science research and health professions, and 4) enhancing the imaging research facilities through the acquisition of advanced instrumentation. The RIMI project will develop a cadre of biomedical and clinical research scientists with the skills and knowledge to engage in leading edge research that contributes to the reduction of health disparities. The development of sustainable biomedical research at UTB/TSC will create knowledge, impact developing junior faculty and students, generate significant resources for the development of research at our minority institution, and contribute to eliminating health disparities in the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校和德克萨斯最南学院 (UTB/TSC) 是一所为西班牙裔服务的机构，位于德克萨斯州最南端，人口以西班牙裔为主，贫困且服务水平低下。过去十年来，该大学在开发有竞争力的研究项目方面取得了显着进展。 UTB/TSC 致力于延续大学在研究基础设施发展方面的势头。 UTB/TSC 优先考虑生物医学研究，以调查影响该人群的疾病，并定位于成为领先的健康相关研究机构，解决该地区的健康差距和日益增长的健康需求。 RIMI项目的延续将为UTB/TSC提供机制，通过增强研究设施和学生的研究环境来加速大学研究计划的实施 和师资。该五年计划强调四个核心职能，为教师和未来的科学家创造一个积极和支持性的研究环境。这些核心包括 1) 加强维持和加强 UTB/TSC 生物医学研究的研究基础设施； 2）增强研究培训能力，通过职业发展规划进一步培养初级研究科学家； 3) 制定课程改革和学生培训活动，以提高学生在生物医学科学研究和健康专业方面的准备，4) 通过购买先进仪器来增强成像研究设施。 RIMI 项目将培养一支由生物医学和临床研究科学家组成的骨干队伍，他们拥有从事前沿研究的技能和知识，从而有助于缩小健康差距。 UTB/TSC 可持续生物医学研究的发展将创造知识，影响初级教师和学生的发展，为我们少数族裔机构的研究发展产生大量资源，并为消除美国的健康差距做出贡献。
