描述(由申请者提供)：项目摘要：生物医学研究计划的长期目标是促进德克萨斯A&M大学-Corpus Christi的生物医学和行为科学研究，这是一家处于深刻变革时期的拉美裔服务机构。除了过去十年招生人数的显著增加外，这所大学正在向广泛研究的地位过渡。因此，教职员工有责任提高他们的研究生产率。EARDA创建的研究发展办公室(ORD)将与现有的赞助研究办公室(OSR)合作，通过研讨会、研讨会和支持试点项目来提高教师在生物医学和行为科学方面的研究产出。学生被包括在试点项目的研究人员中。这些策略预计将增加教职员工提交和授予R01奖学金的数量，并增加学生对生物医学和行为职业的选择。EA的提名人，苏泽特·F·肖邦，生物医学科学教授，自1994年以来一直在该机构工作。除了教授生物医学课程外，她还担任职前教育和特殊项目办公室主任。肖邦博士是教师和学生的领导者和导师，曾因教学和建议获得多个奖项，并在多个地方、地区和国家组织任职。 这项申请的具体目的是：1.通过以下方式增加教师对外部资助的生物医学和行为研究拨款的提交：赠款培训；资助试点研究；提供其他机构的研究经验；为他们参加全国会议提供担保；以及传播关于当前资助机会的信息。2.通过以下方式促进学生的生物医学和行为职业选择：为本科生提供研究经验；举办关于专业发展的讲习班；指导活动；资助参加区域和国家会议的旅费。 相关性：生物医学研究计划将加强对教职员工和学生的生物医学和行为培训和研究。由补助金资助的培训将使他们能够就预防、检测和控制疾病以及保护和促进社区健康进行研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The long-term objective of the Biomedical Research Initiative is to foster research in biomedical and behavioral sciences at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, a Hispanic Serving Institution that is in a period of profound change. In addition to a significant increase in enrollment over the last decade, the university is transitioning to research extensive status. Thus, there is a mandate for faculty to increase their research productivity. The EARDA-created Office of Research Development (ORD) will partner with the existing Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) to enhance faculty research output in the biomedical and behavioral sciences through workshops, seminars and support of pilot projects. Students are included as researchers on the pilot projects. These strategies are expected to increase submissions and awards of R01 grants by the faculty and selection of biomedical and behavioral careers by the students. The EA nominee, Suzzette F. Chopin, Professor of Biomedical Sciences, has been with the institution since 1994. In addition to teaching biomedical courses, she is the Director of the Office of Pre-professional Education and Special Programs. Dr. Chopin is a leader and mentor of both faculty and students, has received numerous awards for teaching and advising and serves in several local, regional and national organizations. The specific aims of this application are to: 1. Increase faculty submissions for externally funded biomedical and behavioral research grants by: grantsmanship training; funding pilot studies; providing research experiences at other institutions; underwriting their travel to national meetings; and disseminating information on current funding opportunities. 2. Foster biomedical and behavioral career choices by students through: providing research experiences for undergraduates; instituting workshops on professional development; mentoring activities; and subsidizing travel to regional and national meetings. Relevance: The Biomedical Research Initiative will enhance biomedical and behavioral training and research for faculty and students. Training supported by the grant will enable them to conduct research on the prevention, detection and control of disease and the protection and promotion of health in the community.
