BUILDING GENETICS RESEARCH AT NORTH CAROLINA A&T SU

描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳州A&T研究基础设施在少数民族机构计划的广泛的长期目标是提高和扩大整体生物医学研究能力的领域，解决健康差距。我们的长期成果将是提高社区对健康差距的认识，增加参与健康差距研究的代表性不足的少数民族的人数，并增加从事解决健康差距的生物医学研究项目的学生和教师人数。 北卡罗来纳州A&T州立大学评估了阻碍生物医学研究成功的一些障碍。这些障碍包括缺乏支持、缺乏设施、缺乏时间以及在具体赠款领域无法获得先进和一致的培训。第二阶段RIMI申请首次寻求支持，通过在NCA&T建立一个解决健康差异的遗传学研究重点来解决这些障碍。我们将实现以下可衡量的具体目标：（1）在NCA和大津发展遗传学核心研究专业，解决健康差距（2）增加教师与研究密集型机构的其他科学家的互动和（3）增加生物医学研究部门进行研究的生产性教师的数量。实现这些目标将增加健康知识，并为NCA和大津国立大学发展竞争性校外研究奠定基础。我们的长期目标包括首先建立一个遗传学研究和培训卓越中心（CEGRT），随后在全球范围内建立一个博士学位。在生物分子科学的程序。为了实现这些目标，我们要求支持RIMI指定的4个重点领域的活动：a）行政B）设施c）教师招聘d）研究支持/教师发展和e）合作研究。本提案中概述的目标和目的将大大提高北卡罗来纳州A&T州立大学的研究能力和基础设施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad long-term objective of the North Carolina A&T Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions program is to enhance and expand the overall biomedical research capability in areas that address health disparities. Our long-term outcomes will be to increase community awareness of health disparities, to increase the numbers of underrepresented minorities who participate in health disparities research and to increase the numbers of students and faculty who pursue biomedical research projects that address health disparities. North Carolina A&T State University has assessed some of the barriers that preclude success in biomedical research. These barriers include lack of support, lack of facilities, lack of time, and unavailability of advanced and consistent training in specific grant areas. This first time, phase II RIMI application seeks support to address these barriers by establishing a genetics research focus at NCA&T that addresses health disparities. We will implement the following measurable specific aims: (1) Develop a core research specialty in genetics at NCA&TSU that addresses health disparities (2) Increase faculty interactions with other scientists at research-intensive institutions and (3) Increase the number of productive faculty in biomedical research departments who conduct research. Accomplishing these aims will increase health knowledge and form the foundation for development of competitive extramural research at NCA&TSU. Our long term goals include first establishing a Center of Excellence in Genetics Research and Training (CEGRT) and subsequently a Ph.D. program in the biomolecular sciences. To accomplish these aims, we request support for activities that address 4 emphasis areas specified by RIMI: a) Administrative b) Facilities c) Faculty Recruitment d) Research Support/Faculty Development and e) Collaborative Research. The goals and objectives outlined in this proposal will significantly enhance research capacity and infrastructure at North Carolina A&T State University.
