DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal seeks support from the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) to strengthen the research capability and infrastructure at Lincoln University. Specifically, the main objectives of the proposal are to: improve capability for biomedical research with emphasis on cancer and other diseases that disproportionately affect minorities; establish a neuroscience program for the study of strokes and related diseases; and increase the pool of minority graduates who will continue their education in biomedical sciences at graduate, allied health and medical schools. These objectives will be attained by improving the research environment and administration at Lincoln University, allocation of adequate space for research work in Lincoln's new science building, training of faculty and students in research methodologies, and working with Lincoln's faculty and administration to establish nursing and neuroscience programs. Lincoln's strong and long-standing partnership with Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine (PSU COM) will facilitate the implementation of the objectives outlined in the proposal. Successful implementation of the program will result in an increase in the number of minority graduates involved in healthcare-related careers and research, thereby increasing the pool of minority healthcare professionals and researchers involved in the elimination of health disparities. It will also improve the quality of faculty research conducted at Lincoln University, thereby helping the University to attract high quality faculty biomedical researchers. Lincoln University will also benefit by attracting a larger pool of minority students interested in careers in health professions. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Ivory V. Nelson, President of Lincoln University. As a chemist by training, Dr. Nelson fully understands the problems of health disparity and the training of minority scientists. He is committed to implementing the objectives of the proposal and has the support of the Board of Trustees, faculty and administration to successfully execute the proposal. Dr. John Chikwem, Dean of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, is experienced in many healthcare issues, especially HIV and AIDS. Dr. Michael Chorney of PSU COM will mobilize faculty and resources at his institution.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案寻求国家少数民族健康和健康差异中心（NCMD）的支持，以加强林肯大学的研究能力和基础设施。具体来说，该提案的主要目标是： 提高生物医学研究能力，重点关注癌症和其他对少数族裔影响较大的疾病；建立神经科学项目来研究中风及相关疾病；增加将在研究生院、联合健康学院和医学院继续接受生物医学科学教育的少数族裔毕业生人数。这些目标将通过改善林肯大学的研究环境和管理、在林肯的新科学大楼中为研究工作分配足够的空间、对教师和学生进行研究方法的培训以及与林肯大学的教师和管理部门合作建立护理和神经科学项目来实现。林肯与宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院 (PSU COM) 强大而长期的合作伙伴关系将促进提案中概述的目标的实现。该计划的成功实施将导致参与医疗保健相关职业和研究的少数族裔毕业生人数增加，从而增加参与消除健康差距的少数族裔医疗保健专业人员和研究人员的数量。它还将提高林肯大学教师研究的质量，从而帮助该大学吸引高素质的生物医学研究人员。林肯大学还将通过吸引更多对健康专业职业感兴趣的少数族裔学生而受益。首席研究员是林肯大学校长 Ivory V. Nelson 博士。作为一名受过训练的化学家，尼尔森博士完全理解健康差距和少数族裔科学家的培训问题。他致力于实现该提案的目标，并得到董事会、教师和行政部门的支持，以成功执行该提案。自然科学与数学学院院长 John Chikwem 博士在许多医疗保健问题，特别是艾滋病毒和艾滋病方面经验丰富。 PSU COM 的 Michael Chorney 博士将动员其所在机构的教职人员和资源。
