ACTIVITY #5 - ADVANCEMENT IN RESEARCH INITIATIVE

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 促进研究倡议(ARI)的主要目标是与波多黎各大学医学院校区内外的不同机构研究单位密切合作，发展基础设施，以支持高质量的研究、管理研究资源和传播与研究有关的信息。为实现这一目标，我们确定了以下具体目标： 1.设立一个基础设施服务股，提供支助服务，便利数据分析、编辑科学出版物和提案、保护知识产权以及向研究界传播多样化的筹资机会。 2.协调和最大限度地利用共享仪器，建立一个研究资源数据库，并保持最新的通信服务，以启动和(或)扩大协作和伙伴关系。 3.发展教师和技术研究开发，以建立奖励研究成功的机制；促进健康差距研究；培训年轻教师和研究生，掌握在研究事业中取得成功所必需的生物伦理和生存技能，并建立一个全面的数据库，其中包括当地成功的研究人员和潜在的合作者。 我们预计，ARI将成为整合校园研究资源的聚集点，并将在发展新的合作和联盟以及确保最大限度地利用现有资源方面发挥重要作用。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The major goal of the Advancement in Research Initiative (ARI) is to work, in close collaboration with the different institutional research units within and outside the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, to develop the infrastructure to support high quality research, manage research resources and disseminate research-related information. To achieve this goal we have identified the following specific aims: 1. To establish an infrastructure service unit that will provide support services that facilitate data analysis, editing of scientific publications and proposals, protection of intellectual property as well as dissemination of diversified funding opportunities to the research community. 2. To coordinate and maximize the use of shared instrumentation, create a research resources database, and maintain up-to-date communications services to initiate and/or expand collaborations and partnerships. 3. To develop faculty and technical research development that will establish a mechanism to reward research success; promote health disparities research; train young faculty and graduate students in the bioethical and survival skills necessary to be successful in a research career, and generate a comprehensive database of local successful investigators and potential collaborators. We foresee that the ARI will become a focla point for integrating research resources on campus and will play an important role in developing new collaborations and alliances as well as assuring maximal utilization of available resources.
