Building the Biomedical Research Infrastructure at New Mexico Highlands Univ.

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥州高地大学（NMHU）的主要目标是成为美国首屈一指的西班牙裔服务机构。 为了实现这一目标，该机构必须建设其进行高质量生物医学研究的能力。 在这个应用程序中，NMHU提出了一个雄心勃勃的，开发良好的，互动的程序来实现这一目标。 拟议的NMHU RIMI计划的长期目标是改善和提高NMHU教师进行高质量和有竞争力的生物医学研究的能力。 这包括巩固和加强NMHU生物医学研究人员在NMHU提供一个积极的和学术的生物医学人口。 通过为我们的教师提供支持和机会，从事生物医学研究，他们将能够成长为生物医学研究人员，并有助于从更大的生物医学界产生的进步。通过为NMHU教师提供有效和高效地进行生物医学研究的手段，我们将提高他们的成功和生产力，从而提高我们机构的整体生物医学研究基础设施和能力。 我们相信，通过NMHU RIMI计划的建立，我们将能够给我们的教师和学生机会发起和追求新颖的生物医学研究计划，使这些计划在更大的生物医学研究竞技场的竞争力，并为他们提供他们可能获得校外资助的手段。 为了实现本申请的长期目标，我们将追求以下具体目标： 1.为了使NMHU教师通过提供培训机会和具体活动，使他们能够建立有竞争力和生产力的生物医学，特别是健康差距，研究计划，发展为生物医学研究人员。 2.提供一个环境，促进和支持生物医学研究在NMHU通过实施一些旨在加强和发展研究和赞助计划在NMHU办公室的活动。 3.通过提供生物医学研究实验室与博士后研究员谁将全职工作在这些实验室进行研究，以增加在NMHU的生物医学研究活动。和 4.为了使NMHU教师通过提供从教学和行政援助释放时间，使他们将有能力追求和建立新的生物医学研究计划，以发展为生物医学研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) has as its primary goal to become the premier Hispanic-serving institution in the United States. To accomplish this goal, the Institution must build its capacity to conduct quality biomedical research. In this application, NMHU presents an ambitious, well developed, and interactive program for accomplishing this goal. The long-term objective of the proposed NMHU RIMI program is to improve and enhance the capability of NMHU faculty to conduct quality and competitive biomedical research. This includes solidifying and strengthening NMHU biomedical researchers to provide for an active and scholarly biomedical population at NMHU. By providing our faculty with the support and opportunity to engage in biomedical research, they will be able to grow as biomedical researchers and contribute to the advances generated from the greater biomedical community. By providing NMHU faculty with the means to conduct biomedical research effectively and efficiently, we will improve their success and productivity, and thereby improve the overall biomedical research infrastructure and capacity of our Institution. We believe that through establishment of the NMHU RIMI program, we will be able to give to our faculty and students the opportunity to initiate and pursue novel biomedical research programs, to make these programs competitive in the greater biomedical research arena, and to provide them the means by which they may obtain extramural funding. In order to achieve the long-term objectives in this application we will pursue the following Specific Aims: 1. To enable NMHU faculty to develop as biomedical researchers through the provision of training opportunities and specific activities that will allow them to establish competitive and productive biomedical, and specifically health disparity, research programs. 2. To provide an environment that promotes and supports biomedical research at NMHU by implementing a number of activities aimed at enhancing and developing the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at NMHU. 3. To increase the biomedical research activity at NMHU by providing biomedical research laboratories with Post- Doctoral Fellows who will work full-time conducting research in these laboratories. and 4. To enable NMHU faculty to develop as biomedical researchers by providing released time from teaching and administrative assistance so that they will have the ability to pursue and establish novel biomedical research programs.
