BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER FOR UPR RIO PIEDRAS CAMPUS

波多黎各大学Rio Piedras校区的RCMI项目 Rico正在申请资金建立艾滋病研究中心， 获取成像系统以及光子计数器。 艾滋病研究中心将提供基础设施支持， 艾滋病相关研究，促进合作研究努力，并寻求 扩大从NIH寻求的调查人员的数量将大大增加 增加机构提供的一些初始资金。 的 资金将为调查人员提供释放时间，允许改造 中心的空间、设备和技术支持。 在RCMI对分子生物学领域的持续支持下， 生物化学和光谱学新的研究领域的需求已经出现。 成像系统除了允许我们的研究人员新的 研究的途径，也将提高正在进行的质量和深度， 分子生物学和生物化学的项目。 光子计数器是 研究人员在我们的激光光谱部分所需的， 在生物学研究中准确确定寿命测量 有趣的过程。 艾滋病中心和我们仪器能力的扩展 将使里约彼德拉斯校区处于更有竞争力的位置， 研究经费和招募更多的研究人员。

The RCMI program at the Rio Piedras Campus of the University of Puerto Rico is requesting funds to establish a Center of AIDS Research and acquire an Imaging System as well as a Photon Counter. The AIDS Research center will provide infrastructure support to ongoing AIDS related research, stimulate collaborative research efforts, and seek to expand the number of investigators sought from NIH will greatly augment some initial funding being provided by the institution. The funds will provide release time for investigators, permit remodeling of space for the Center, equipment and technician support. With the ongoing support by RCMI to the areas of Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Spectroscopy new areas of research needs have arisen. The Imaging System will in addition to permitting our investigators new avenues of research, will also augment the quality and depth of ongoing projects in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. The Photon Counter is needed by the investigators in our Laser Spectroscopy component to accurately determine lifetime measurements in the study of biologically interesting processes. Both the AIDS Center and the expansion of our instrumentation capability will put the Rio Piedras Campus in a more competitive position to seek research funding and recruit more investigators.
