ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY: HEAVY METAL BINDING IN CLASS II METALLOTHIONES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校(UTEP)试图通过促进毒理学领域的一项新倡议来增强边境生物医学研究中心(BBRC)的研究能力。这将通过以下方式实现：(1)启动支持一名新的毒物学家；(2)建立一个水生实验室和购置专门设备，以加强毒物学研究的有形基础设施；(3)发放发展研究和提案增强补助金，以协助调查人员准备和获得外部资金；(4)支付实验室技术人员的工资，以提高研究效率；(5)为与会者提供差旅支持，以出席国家会议并介绍他们的研究成果，参加讲习班，并与资深同事协商(6)为BBRC参与者提供夏季奖学金，以便与其他机构的高级同事建立外部研究合作；以及(7)通过补充图书馆在环境毒理学领域的连续订阅和专著，以及通过远程通信升级，以更好地获取世界生物医学文献，增强信息检索能力。这些措施旨在发展足够的人类和环境健康研究能力，以证明在授权期结束前申请NIEHS发展中心赠款是合理的

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Texas at El Paso (UTEP) seeks to enhance the research capability of the Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC) by fostering a new initiative in the area of Toxicology. This will be accomplished through (1) startup support for a new Toxicologist; (2) establishment of an aquatic laboratory and acquisition of specialized equipment to enhance the physical infrastructure for toxicology research; (3) award of Developmental Research and Proposal Enhancement grants to assist investigators in preparing and obtaining extramural funding; (4) salaries for laboratory technicians to enhance research productivity; (5) travel support for participants to attend national meetings and present the results of their research, participate in workshops, and consult with senior colleagues (6) summer fellowships for BBRC participants to establish external research collaborations with senior colleagues at other institutions; and (7) augmentation of information retrieval capabilities by supplementing the library's serial subscriptions and monographs in the areas of environmental toxicology, and through telecomunications upgrades to better access the world's biomedical literature. These measures are designed to develop sufficient capabilities for research into human and environmental health to justify application for an NIEHS Developmental Center Grant by the end of the grant period
