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. The region along the Border between the United States and Mexico is a boundary called ¿la frontera¿ where developing and developed worlds meet, resulting in a unique, hybrid environment in nearly every aspect of life. This area is a melting pot, combining the unique challenges to human health from each side of the border into a region of double jeopardy, with the population at risk from the ills of both environments. The higher than normal rates in El Paso of neurocystercercosis and drug resistant TB are two examples of the result of this juxtaposition. The increased development of the desert regions of West Texas exacerbate this problem, bringing increasing numbers of people into frequent contact with new environments, enhancing the opportunity for the spread of new diseases. Because of these concerns, the Border Biomedical Research Center at the University of Texas at El Paso includes a specific research unit in Infectious Diseases to foster the development of research programs on infectious agents of regional importance. In addition to continuing support of existing research programs, this proposal equipment and staff support infrastructure for a new BSL3 laboratory research facility included in the new Biosciences Research Building at UTEP. This secure facility will enable development of research programs focussing on higher level infectious agents, in particular drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculo

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 该地区沿着美国和墨西哥之间的边界是一个边界称为，发展中国家和发达国家在那里相遇，导致在生活的几乎每一个方面都有一个独特的混合环境。该地区是一个大熔炉，将边境两侧对人类健康的独特挑战结合在一起，成为一个双重危险的地区，人们面临着两种环境弊病的风险。 埃尔帕索的神经囊尾蚴病和耐药结核病的发病率高于正常水平是这种并列结果的两个例子。 西得克萨斯州沙漠地区的日益发展加剧了这一问题，使越来越多的人频繁接触新的环境，增加了传播新疾病的机会。 由于这些问题，得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的边境生物医学研究中心包括一个专门的传染病研究单位，以促进对区域重要性的传染性病原体的研究计划的发展。 除了继续支持现有的研究计划，该提案的设备和工作人员支持基础设施的一个新的BSL 3实验室研究设施，包括在新的生物科学研究大楼在UTEP。 这个安全的设施将使研究计划的发展集中在更高水平的传染性病原体，特别是耐药结核分枝杆菌
