HOWARD UNIVERSITY HUMAN GENOME RESEARCH CENTER

这份申请的目的是申请资金， 现有的设施，以适应建立一个人类基因组 霍华德大学研究中心。该设施将位于 以前被指定为动物设施的空间。这将是中央 研究疾病遗传学的意义， 不成比例地影响非洲体面的个人进行。 本提案介绍了现有的空间配置和 将其转化为最先进的人类基因组所需的修改 研究中心这个翻新后的设施将包括一个中央接收， 加工与资源配置实验室，占地615.51平方米 英尺;一个由738.21平方英尺组成的人类基因分型实验室，一 653.60平方英尺的人类分子遗传学实验室和其他 实验室和支持单位。其中包括组织培养 实验室，放射性同位素实验室，暗室和照相 设备储藏室和信息管理中心。办公空间 一个主任一个行政助理和四个教员 调查人员以及会议和信息中心，以及 研讨会/演讲室包括在这个设计中。洗手间将 符合《美国残疾人法案》（ADA）的要求。 所需的保证包括在本提案中， 霍华德大学承诺提供配对资金的声明， 支持这一倡议。由于这个中心将占据空间， 以前指定用于研究，将是一个新的研究奋进，没有 研究空间将被取消。

The purpose of this application is to requests funds for the renovation of an existing facility to accommodate the establishment of a Human Genome Research Center at Howard University. The facility will be located in space previously designated as a animal facility. It will be the central point for investigations on the implications of genetics of diseases that disproportionately effect individuals of African decent to be conducted. This proposal describes the existing space configurations and the modifications required to convert it to a state of the art Human Genome Research Center. This renovated facility will contain a central receiving, processing and resource allocation laboratory occupying 615.51 square feet; a human genotyping laboratory consisting of 738.21 square feet., a human molecular genetics laboratory of 653.60 square feet and other laboratories and support units. Among these are, a tissue culture laboratory, a radio isotope laboratory, a dark room and photographic equipment storage room and an information management center. Office space for a director and an administrative assistant and four faculty investigators as well as a conference and information center, and a seminar/lecture room are included in this design. Restrooms will be designed to meet the requirements of the American Disabilities Act (ADA). The required assurances are included in this proposal as well as a statement of the commitment of matching funds by Howard University to support this initiative. Since this center will occupy space that was previously designated for research and will be a new research endeavor, no research space will be vacated.
