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. A major long-term objective of the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus is to expand and improve the environment for molecular neuroscience. To help meet that goal, this project will establish a Neurogenetics Core Facility at the Institute of Neurobiology (Specific Aim 1). This facility will be used to enhance the research capabilities of the present faculty and will serve as a resource for the further development of the Institute. A key feature of this aim will be to recruit a neurogeneticist to head the facility. Funds will be used to remodel lab space, obtain major instrumentation, support collaborations in the areas of neurogenetics or neurogenomics, and for the recruitment process. They will also be used to develop collaborative research teams between the Institute of Neurobiology and outside researchers. The operation of the Molecular Neurobiology Core Facility, established under the last RCMI initiative, will also be continued (Specific Aim 2). This facility is adjacent to the space that is being proposed to house the Neurogenetics Core. It has been used extensively by the participants in this proposal and is considered a vital asset for their research. All molecular biology at the Institute centers on this facility, and it is anticipated that it will also be an essential resource for investigation in neurogenetics. In addition, improvements will be made in communications between the Institute and research groups outside of Puerto Rico (Specific Aim 3). This will be accomplished by improving the internet connections, video conferencing capabilities and by implementing a mechanism to support collaborations with outside scientists. Taken together, these changes will add powerful new research and training capabilities to the Institute of Neurobiology, as well as enhance existing capabilities. They will also help create better links between current research and public health. These changes are required to meet the challenges of an evolving environment for Neuroscience research.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 波多黎各大学医学科学校园的一个主要长期目标是扩大和改善分子神经科学的环境。 为了帮助实现这一目标，该项目将在神经生物学研究所建立神经遗传学核心设施（特定目标1）。该设施将用于增强本学院的研究能力，并将作为研究所进一步发展的资源。该目标的一个关键特征是招募神经遗传学家来领导设施。资金将用于改造实验室空间，获得主要的仪器，支持神经遗传学或神经基因组学领域的协作以及招募过程。它们还将用于在神经生物学研究所和外部研究人员之间建立合作研究团队。 在上一项RCMI倡议下建立的分子神经生物学核心设施的运行也将继续（特定目标2）。 该设施与提议容纳神经遗传学核心的空间相邻。 该提案中的参与者已广泛使用它，并被认为是其研究的重要资产。 研究所的所有分子生物学都集中在该设施上，并且预计这也将是研究神经遗传学的重要资源。 此外，在波多黎各之外的研究所和研究小组之间的沟通中将进行改进（特定目标3）。这将通过提高互联网连接，视频会议功能以及实施支持与外部科学家的合作的机制来实现。综上所述，这些变化将为神经生物学研究所增添强大的新研究和培训能力，并增强现有能力。 它们还将帮助在当前的研究与公共卫生之间建立更好的联系。需要这些更改来应对神经科学研究不断发展的环境的挑战。
