SNRP PROJECT AT MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE

该应用程序的长期目标是增强和加强Meharry医学院教师和学员的神经科学研究能力。此外，梅哈里医学院的神经科学教师寻求帮助，以提高学校的研究相对于美国其他健康科学中心的竞争地位。专业神经科学研究计划（SNRP）将有助于创造一个研究环境，其中教师和学员将提高他们的研究技能和能力，有效地进行高质量的研究，通过同行评审的出版物和在全国会议上的演讲传播他们的研究成果，并与独立的校外研究基金更大的成功竞争。具体目标（可衡量的目标）的当前应用程序是：1）促进收购的主流资金的每个子项目PI的项目期结束时; 2）达到100%的水平，由神经科学中心的教师校外资助，并促进收购的额外三个主流校外奖项的项目期结束时;以及3）在项目期结束时，将神经科学研究者的同行评议出版物数量增加到平均每年两篇。Meharry SNRP是范德比尔特大学和位于伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学的共同努力。该计划包括一个核心项目和两个合作研究子项目。该核心为神经科学学院提供行政支持，重点是合作项目。核心教师发展活动包括赠款作家讲习班，技术讲习班，研讨会计划和年度区域神经科学研讨会。

The long-range goal of this application is to augment and strength the neuroscience research capabilities of faculty and trainees at Meharry Medical College. Moreover, neuroscience faculty members at Meharry Medical College seek to assist in improving the competitive status of the school's research relative to other health science centers in the United States. The Specialized Neuroscience Research Program (SNRP) will help to create a research environment wherein faculty and trainees will enhance their research skills and capabilities to efficiently conduct high quality research, to disseminate their research findings through peer- reviewed publications and presentations at national meetings, and to compete with greater success for independent extramural research funds. The specific aims (measurable objectives) of the current applications are to: 1) facilitate the acquisition of mainstream funding by each of the subproject PIs by the end of the project period; 2) attain a 100% level of extramural funding by Neuroscience Center faculty and promote the acquisition of an additional three mainstream extramural awards by the end of the project period; and 3) increase the number of peer-reviewed publications by neuroscience investigators to a mean of two per year by the end of the project period. The Meharry SNRP is a joint effort involving Vanderbilt University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The proposed program consists of a core and two collaborative research subprojects. The core provides administrative support for neuroscience faculty with an emphasis on the collaborative projects. Core faculty development activities include grantwriters' workshops, technical workshops, a seminar program and an annual regional neuroscience symposium.
