Project Summary / Abstract The Stillman Chronic Disease Research and Training Shared Facility will be new construction and serve as the College’s first facility dedicated entirely to research. The research focus in chronic diseases leading to health disparities is aligned with our faculty members’ interests, our established collaborations, and the health disparities in the state, the region, and the community. This facility will enhance institution-wide research programs and facilitate collaborations with research intensive partners to transform the department to one that develops relevant research programs, building upon existing biomedical pipeline initiatives. Stillman College is a historically black liberal arts college (HBCU) that was founded in 1876 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Located on a 105-acre former slave plantation, Stillman is known for producing African American biomedical scientists who excel in the health professions and research. According to the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, Survey of Earned Doctorates, Stillman graduates earned 35 PhDs between 2010 and 2020 and ranked 17th of baccalaureate HBCUs producing PhDs. This is significant because the student population represents more than 80% Pell recipients and 1st generation in college, averages 700 full-time students and 100 graduates each year. Out of the 100 biology majors, Stillman produces 25 graduates annually and more than 50% enroll in biomedical graduate programs. The Department’s goals in the Stillman Strategic Plan (2017-2022) are to: 1. Increase retention, 2. Increase the number of students entering Summer Research Programs, 3. To have a 90 percent first time pass rate on the Senior Exit Exam and Senior Thesis Research Paper and Presentation, and 4. To increase the number of graduates entering graduate and/or professional schools. Stillman College qualifies as an Institution of Emerging Excellence (IEE) based on all the criteria in 42 USC 283k(c)(2): Stillman has a research program focused on cardiovascular diseases and other health disparities. According to the CDC, the leading causes of death in Alabama are Stroke (ranks 2nd in the nation), heart disease (4th), and Alzheimer’s disease (5th). Alabama is in the Stroke Belt; 14 counties have stroke mortality rates greater than 50% of the nation’s rate and mortality is 35% higher in African Americans (61.7) than Caucasians (45.7). Alabama is also designated as an EPSCoR state. Stillman is in the poorest census tract in the city, has the highest concentration of African Americans (97%), and is designated an Opportunity Zone. The Stillman Chronic Disease Research and Training Shared Facility will enable Stillman faculty, students, and collaborators to develop research expertise in cardiovascular and other chronic diseases that produce health disparities in African Americans.

项目总结/摘要 斯蒂尔曼慢性病研究和培训共享设施将是新的建设和服务 作为学院的第一个设施完全致力于研究。研究重点是慢性病， 健康差距与我们的教师的利益，我们建立的合作，和健康 国家、地区和社区的差距。这一设施将加强全机构的研究 计划，并促进与研究密集型合作伙伴的合作，将部门转变为一个 发展相关的研究计划，建立在现有的生物医学管道倡议。 斯蒂尔曼学院（Stillman College）是一所历史悠久的黑人文理学院（HBCU），于1876年在塔斯卡卢萨成立， 亚拉巴马。斯蒂尔曼位于一个105英亩的前奴隶种植园，以生产非洲裔美国人而闻名。 在卫生专业和研究方面表现出色的生物医学科学家。根据国家科学 基金会（NSF），国家科学和工程统计中心，获得博士学位的调查， 斯蒂尔曼毕业生在2010年至2020年期间获得了35个博士学位，在HBCU的学士学位中排名第17位 生产PhD这是重要的，因为学生人口代表了80%以上的佩尔受援国 第一代大学生，平均每年有700名全日制学生和100名毕业生。在100人中 生物学专业，斯蒂尔曼每年产生25名毕业生，超过50%的生物医学研究生入学 程序.该部门在斯蒂尔曼战略计划（2017-2022）的目标是：1。保持，2。 增加进入暑期研究项目的学生人数，3。有90%的第一次通过 率在高级出口考试和高级论文研究论文和演示文稿，以及4。增加 进入研究生院和/或专业学校的毕业生人数。 Stillman College根据USC 42的所有标准被评为新兴卓越机构（IEE） 283 k（c）（2）：斯蒂尔曼有一个研究计划，重点是心血管疾病和其他健康差异。 根据疾病预防控制中心的数据，亚拉巴马的主要死亡原因是中风（在全国排名第二），心脏病， 老年痴呆症（第4位）和阿尔茨海默病（第5位）。亚拉巴马位于中风带; 14个县有中风死亡率 死亡率超过全国死亡率的50%，非裔美国人的死亡率（61.7）比 高加索人（45.7）。亚拉巴马也被指定为EPSCoR州。斯蒂尔曼是在最贫穷的人口普查区， 该市是非洲裔美国人最集中的城市（97%），并被指定为机会区。 斯蒂尔曼慢性病研究和培训共享设施将使斯蒂尔曼教师，学生， 合作者开发心血管和其他慢性疾病的研究专业知识， 非裔美国人的差异。
