MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY BIOMED RES CTR(RCMI): ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。描述（由申请人提供）：密歇根州立大学自1995年以来一直是少数民族机构研究基础设施（RIMI）资助的接受者。由于RIMI项目和其他研究项目取得的进展，密歇根州立大学已经获得并实施了生物环境科学博士学位（BSP），公共卫生硕士学位和博士学位，以及其他几个项目。此外，随着该机构博士课程的数量随着学生总数的增加而增加，聘请的教师的水平和数量以及教师的研究效率都大大提高。因此，为了使该机构继续提高其研究能力和能力，密歇根州立大学正在申请资金，以建立少数民族机构生物医学研究中心（RCMI）计划。它将侧重于压力和心血管疾病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、神经发育/神经紊乱和环境健康，以及困扰我们社区、我们州和我们国家的毒理学问题。因此，RCMI计划的目标是进一步提高该机构的研究基础设施和研究能力。为此，将建立一个多样化的多学科研究环境，将以城市环境的健康问题为中心的生物医学、行为和环境卫生学科的信息综合起来。该申请的具体目的是：1)扩大管理结构，以加强项目的努力和成就，使其能够与正在进行的大学管理结构相结合，从而使密歇根州立大学的利益能够最大限度地实现；2)建立内部咨询委员会（IAC）和外部咨询委员会（EAC），就研究人员如何提高中心的研究效率提供重要建议；3)在组织化学/细胞学、分子生物学和环境健康/毒理学领域建立最先进的核心实验室，为研究人员提供研究能力、技术服务和支持，解决压力和心血管疾病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、神经发育/神经紊乱以及环境健康和毒理学问题等领域的研究问题。在建立这些核心实验室的过程中，调查人员计划为这些核心实验室购买设备和用品，并聘请实验室主任指导和协调这些核心实验室的活动，以使解决健康和健康问题的研究能力得到提高。可以扩大已查明的健康差距；4)为从事上述健康和健康差异研究的研究生提供支持；5)为压力和心血管疾病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究、神经发育/神经障碍和环境健康/毒理学/生物传感器研究领域的教师试点项目提供支持；6)制定评价计划，对中心进行形成性评价和总结性评价。总之，通过在密歇根州立大学建立RCMI项目，以及该项目所描述的目标，研究人员将进一步加强该机构的使命

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Description (provided by applicant): MSU has been a recipient of a Research Infrastructure in Minority Institution (RIMI) grant since 1995. As a result of the progress made in this RIMI program and other research programs, MSU has received and implemented a Ph.D. Bioenvironmental Sciences program (BSP), a M.S. and doctorate in Public Health, and several other programs. Additionally, as the number of doctoral programs increased at the institution along with the overall student enrollment, the caliber and number of faculty hired and the research productivity of the faculty has greatly increased. Therefore, in order for the institution to continue to enhance its research capacity and capabilities, MSU is requesting funds in this application to establish a Biomedical Research Center Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) program. It would focus on Stress and Cardiovascular Diseases, HIV/AIDS, Neurodevelopment/Neurodisorders and Environmental Health, as well as toxicological problems that plague our communities, our state and our nation. Consequently, the goal of this RCMI program is to further enhance the research infrastructure and research capabilities at the institution. This would be done by establishing a diverse multidisciplinary research environment that integrates information across biomedical, behavioral, and environmental health disciplines which are centered around the health concerns of the urban environment. The specific aims of this application are to: 1) amplify an administrative structure in order to enhance the efforts and accomplishments of the program s that it can interface with the ongoing university administrative structure, such that the benefits to MSU can be realized to the maximum level possible; 2) develop an Internal Advisory Committee (IAC) and an External Advisory Committee (EAC) that can provide critical advice on ways in which the investigators can enhance the research productivity of the Center; 3) establish state-of-the-art Core laboratories in the areas of histochemistry/cytology, molecular biology and environmental health/toxicology that would provide research capabilities, technical services and support to investigators addressing research questions in the areas of stress and cardiovascular diseases, HIV/AIDS, neurodevelopment/neurodisorders and environmental health and toxicological problems. In establishing these Core laboratories, the investigators plan to purchase equipment and supplies for the Core laboratories, and hire laboratory directors to direct and coordinate the activities of these Core laboratories in such a way that the research capacity that addresses the health and. health disparities identified can be enhanced; 4) provide support for graduate students who are engaged in research that addresses the health and health disparities identified above; 5) provide support for faculty pilot projects in the areas of stress and cardiovascular diseases, HIV/AIDS research, neurodevelopment/neurodisorders and environmental health/toxicology/biosensor research; and 6) establish an evaluation plan that addresses the formative and summative evaluation of the Center. In summary, by establishing an RCMI program at MSU, with the goals delineated in this program, the investigators will further enhance the institution's mission
