ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY: HEAVY METAL BINDING IN CLASS II METALLOTHIONES

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。德克萨斯州埃尔帕索（UTEP）旨在通过促进毒理学领域的新举措来提高边境生物医学研究中心（BBRC）的研究能力。这将通过以下方式实现：（1）为新毒理学家提供启动支持;（2）建立一个水生实验室，并购置专门设备，以加强毒理学研究的物质基础设施;（3）授予发展研究和提案改进赠款，以协助研究人员准备和获得校外资金;（4）支付实验室技术人员的工资，以提高研究效率;（5）为参加者提供差旅支助，以便参加国家会议和介绍其研究成果，参加讲习班，并与资深同事协商（6）为北大西洋公约组织研究中心参加者提供夏季研究金，以便与其他机构的资深同事建立外部研究合作;（七）通过补充图书馆在环境毒理学领域的系列订阅和专著，增强信息检索能力，并通过电信升级来更好地获取世界生物医学文献。这些措施的目的是发展足够的能力，研究人类和环境健康，以证明申请NIEHS发展中心赠款的赠款结束时，

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. Texas at El Paso (UTEP) seeks to enhance the research capability of the Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC) by fostering a new initiative in the area of Toxicology. This will be accomplished through (1) startup support for a new Toxicologist; (2) establishment of an aquatic laboratory and acquisition of specialized equipment to enhance the physical infrastructure for toxicology research; (3) award of Developmental Research and Proposal Enhancement grants to assist investigators in preparing and obtaining extramural funding; (4) salaries for laboratory technicians to enhance research productivity; (5) travel support for participants to attend national meetings and present the results of their research, participate in workshops, and consult with senior colleagues (6) summer fellowships for BBRC participants to establish external research collaborations with senior colleagues at other institutions; and (7) augmentation of information retrieval capabilities by supplementing the library's serial subscriptions and monographs in the areas of environmental toxicology, and through telecomunications upgrades to better access the world's biomedical literature. These measures are designed to develop sufficient capabilities for research into human and environmental health to justify application for an NIEHS Developmental Center Grant by the end of the grant period
