RESEARCH IMPETUS IN THE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES AT CLARK ATL

克拉克大学正在进行的MBR计划被称为克拉克·亚特兰大大学生物医学计划研究推动力的“CAU-RIBS”，其长期目标是提高教师的生物医学研究能力，鼓励和加强新教师在开发生物医学研究计划方面的努力，培养一个富有成效的研究环境。最近，科学和技术研究中心(RCST)的建成和使用加强了这种模范的研究和学术氛围。这个18.9万平方英尺的设施为研究人员提供了更大的研究空间，这些研究人员分为生物科学系、化学系、计算机和数学科学系、工程系和物理系的跨学科中心。此外，用于细胞和组织培养、电子显微镜、玻璃吹制和核磁共振的多用户设施非常方便。克拉克·亚特兰大大学的MBRS项目强调用跨学科的方法来解决生物医学科学中的研究问题。该提案包括16个分项目(15个首席调查员和1个试点项目)，分别代表四个部门和六个研究中心。该大学认为，MBRS计划对个人研究人员的研究努力的支持是先天的，为他们提供了机会，使他们能够提高自己的竞争技能，进入生物医学研究支持的一般竞争池。这些目标将通过提供模范的研究和学术氛围来促进，在这种氛围中，本科生和研究生研究助理的生物医学研究参与可以促进研究技能的获得，并分享对生物医学科学的探索的激励。

The long-term objectives of the on-going MBRS Program at Clark University dubbed, "CAU-RIBS" for Clark Atlanta University Research Impetus in the Biomedical Sciences Program, are to enhance on-going faculty biomedical research capabilities, encourage and augment efforts of new faculty in developing biomedical research programs; fostering a productive research environment. This exemplary atmosphere of research ans scholarship has recently been augmented by the completion and occupancy of the Research Center for Science and Technology (RCST). This 189,000 square feet facility offers increased research space for investigators, categorized into interdisciplinary Centers, from the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Engineering and Physics. Additionally, multi- user facilities for Cell and Tissue Culture, Electron Microscopy, Glass Blowing, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance are readily accessible. The MBRS Program at Clark Atlanta University emphasizes the interdisciplinary approach to solving research problems in the biomedical sciences. This proposal includes sixteen subprojects (fifteen Principal Investigators and one Pilot Project) representing four departments and six research centers. The University views the MBRS Program's support of individual investigator's research efforts as, A PRIORI, providing the opportunities for them to increase their competitive skills for entrance into the general pool of competition for biomedical research support. These objectives will be fostered by the exemplary atmosphere of research and scholarship provided wherein the biomedical research involvement of undergraduate and graduate research assistants can promote the acquisition of research skills and share the incentives for inquiry in the biomedical sciences.
