项目概述：生物医学研究计划的长期目标是促进德克萨斯农工大学科珀斯克里斯蒂分校的生物医学和行为科学研究，这是一所处于深刻变革时期的西班牙裔服务机构。在过去十年中，除了招生人数显著增加外，该大学还在向研究广泛的状态过渡。因此，教师有责任提高他们的研究效率。earda创建的研究发展办公室（ORD）将与现有的赞助研究办公室（OSR）合作，通过讲习班、研讨会和对试点项目的支持，提高教师在生物医学和行为科学方面的研究成果。学生作为研究人员参与试点项目。这些策略有望增加教师提交和奖励R01补助金，以及学生对生物医学和行为职业的选择。EA提名人Suzzette F. Chopin，生物医学科学教授，自1994年以来一直在该机构工作。除了教授生物医学课程外，她还是职业前教育和特殊项目办公室的主任。肖邦博士是教师和学生的领导者和导师，在教学和咨询方面获得了许多奖项，并在几个地方、区域和国家组织任职。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The long-term objective of the Biomedical Research Initiative is to foster research in biomedical and behavioral sciences at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, a Hispanic Serving Institution that is in a period of profound change. In addition to a significant increase in enrollment over the last decade, the university is transitioning to research extensive status. Thus, there is a mandate for faculty to increase their research productivity. The EARDA-created Office of Research Development (ORD) will partner with the existing Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) to enhance faculty research output in the biomedical and behavioral sciences through workshops, seminars and support of pilot projects. Students are included as researchers on the pilot projects. These strategies are expected to increase submissions and awards of R01 grants by the faculty and selection of biomedical and behavioral careers by the students. The EA nominee, Suzzette F. Chopin, Professor of Biomedical Sciences, has been with the institution since 1994. In addition to teaching biomedical courses, she is the Director of the Office of Pre-professional Education and Special Programs. Dr. Chopin is a leader and mentor of both faculty and students, has received numerous awards for teaching and advising and serves in several local, regional and national organizations. The specific aims of this application are to: 1. Increase faculty submissions for externally funded biomedical and behavioral research grants by: grantsmanship training; funding pilot studies; providing research experiences at other institutions; underwriting their travel to national meetings; and disseminating information on current funding opportunities. 2. Foster biomedical and behavioral career choices by students through: providing research experiences for undergraduates; instituting workshops on professional development; mentoring activities; and subsidizing travel to regional and national meetings. Relevance: The Biomedical Research Initiative will enhance biomedical and behavioral training and research for faculty and students. Training supported by the grant will enable them to conduct research on the prevention, detection and control of disease and the protection and promotion of health in the community.
