PHASE II EARDA, FRESP

梅德加·埃弗斯学院致力于加强其研究基础设施，并为代表不足的少数族裔和女性教职员工和学生提供加强参与研究的机会。第一阶段EARDA-FRESP为机构私人助理卡兰博士提供了在NIH参加为期十周的夏季培训计划的机会，并为实施她的第一阶段计划提供了资金。她在科学、卫生和技术学院建立了卫生科学研究援助中心(HSRAC)，并通过HSRAC实施了她为EARDA第一阶段计划的所有活动。在这一阶段，教师对提案写作的参与度有所提高，教职员工和学生获得的研究奖项数量也有所增加。第二阶段EARDA-FRESP的一个主要目标是进一步帮助教师发展研究能力，并产生竞争性的拨款提案，以从更大的联邦资助机构获得研究资金，即NIH、NSF、NASA、DOD等。艾尔。卡兰博士将继续担任第二阶段EARDA-FRESP的私人助理，并继承了一些写作技能，即赠款信息会议、赠款提案撰写研讨会、网页创建研讨会和在线赠款信息搜索。HSRAC将继续在以电子方式向NSF(FastLane)提交拨款建议书方面与MEC合作举办研讨会，其他计划的活动包括改善HSRAC的网页、重组MEC IRB、举办表彰获得研究资助的教师和学生的活动、参加NIH/OPRR于2000年秋季举行的地区性研讨会、协助教师和学生扩大与外部机构的研究合作，以及在科学、卫生和技术学院设立教师和学生研究卓越中心。

Medgar Evers College is committed to strengthen its research infrastructure and provide underrepresented minority and women faculty and students an opportunity to enhance participation in research.
