项目总结（见说明）： 我们建议提供一个跨部门共用研究资源核心， 组件，质谱设施和细胞和分子成像中心，将提供 国家的最先进的设备和专业水平的支持，以满足研究的需要， 教师和提高学生在旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学的培训经验。质量 质谱设施包含最新的电喷雾离子阱质谱仪和其他质谱仪。 用于小分子和蛋白质组学分析的光谱仪。细胞和分子成像中心 包含Nikon Eclipse C1激光扫描共聚焦显微镜系统和FACSCalibur Flow 细胞计数器。每个研究资源中心都由一位博士监督。各级管理人员， 超过15年的研究经验，在各自的专业。我们请求支援 从RIMI来支持设施和维护设备。该设备提供现代 SFSU教师的仪器，让他们有机会追求更多的创新研究 生物医学研究中的问题。在我们目前的RIMI计划中，有170多名毕业生和 本科生在这两个研究机构接受了培训，包括 例如MARC和MBRS RISE。这些研究资源的可用性将有一个 对少数民族教师和学生进行的研究产生积极影响。除了这个重要的 结果，支持这些在科学领域代表性不足的群体将影响少数群体社区 他们服务。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): We propose to provide a Shared Inter-Departmental Research Resources Core with two primary components, a Mass Spectrometry Facility and a Cell and Molecular Imaging Center that will provide state-of-the-art equipment and professional-level support necessary to meet the research needs of faculty and enhance the training experiences of students at San Francisco State University. The Mass Spectrometry Facility contains the most recent electrospray ion trap mass spectrometer and other mass spectrometers for small molecular and proteomic analyses. The Cell and Molecular Imaging Center contains a Nikon Eclipse C1 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope system and a FACSCalibur flow cytometer. Each of these research resource centers is supervised by a Ph.D. level manager who have more than 15 years of research experience in their respective specialties. We are requesting support from RIMI to support the facility and maintain the equipment. This equipment provides modern instrumentation to SFSU faculty giving them the opportunity to pursue more innovative research questions in biomedical research. During our current RIMI program more than 170 graduate and undergraduate students have received training in the two research facilities, including students in programs such as MARC and MBRS RISE. The availability of these research resources will have a positive effect on the research performed by minority faculty and students. In addition to this important outcome, support of these underrepresented groups in science will impact the minority communities they serve.
