SPONSORED RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM AT UT-PAN AMERICAM. PHASE II

本报告提议的项目的总体目标是继续加强联合国大学， 2007年1月至2009年1月期间， 2008年12月及以后我们将巩固和扩大我们行之有效的全面 赞助计划的方法，颁布教师和学生的积极参与 特别是在研究中代表性不足的少数民族，因为我们从ERDA过渡到全面 大学支持。我们寻求资金以实现以下目标： 1.为了使牛津大学生物医学研究资源办公室的活动永久化， 德克萨斯州泛美大学（UTPA），并扩大其生物医学研究支持活动。 扩大OBRR使用的现有机制，以资助试点生物医学研究 有可能吸引外部资金的项目。 扩大对UTPA生物医学研究社区的研究援助 以便进一步增加赞助的研究活动。 4.促进UTPA和研究密集型大学之间的更多合作和伙伴关系 在联合研究、联合提案制定和教员研讨会领域的机构 演示文稿. 5.对拟议项目进行持续的形成性和总结性评估， 促进实现项目的目标和宗旨。 随着UTPA扩大其学生基础，并成为西班牙裔的首屈一指的大学教育家， 在全国的学生，我们需要像SRIP这样的项目来帮助我们提供活动， 鼓励西班牙裔学生追求生物医学研究事业。我们成功实施 SRIP第一阶段取得了许多积极成果，如本文所述， 项目

The overall goal of the project proposed herein is to continue strengthening the University of Texas-Pan American's biomedical research infrastructure during the period of January 2007 to December 2008 and beyond. We will consolidate and expand our proven comprehensive sponsored program approach that promulgates vigorous participation of faculty and students particularly underrepresented minorities in research, as we transition from EARDA to full university support. We seek funds to accomplish the following: 1. To perpetuate the activities of the office of biomedical research resources at the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA) and to expand its biomedical research support activities. To expand the existing mechanism utilized by OBRR to fund pilot biomedical research projects that have potential for attracting external funding. To expand the research assistance provided to the biomedical research community at UTPA so that further increases in sponsored research activities can be realized. 4. To foster additional collaborations and partnerships between UTPA and research-intensive institutions in the field of joint research, joint proposal development and faculty seminar presentation. 5. To perform continuous formative and summative evaluation of the proposed project to facilitate achieving the goals and objectives of the project. As UTPA expands its student base and becomes the premiere college educator of Hispanic students in the nation, we need projects such as SRIP to aid us in providing activities that encourage Hispanic students to pursue biomedical research careers. Our success in implementing SRIP phase I with many positive outcomes as documented herein, warrants continuation of the project.
