MBRS Support of Continuous Research Excellence at FIU

佛罗里达国际大学是一个城市，博士授予机构位于迈阿密，佛罗里达最大的 人口中心。这所州立大学的使命是为该州东南部佛罗里达的人民服务， 通过优秀的教学传授知识，创造新的 通过研究和培养创造力及其表达来获取知识。1996年，流感联盟正式改变其 "力争上游"的使命声明将"健康"列为其主要战略主题之一。 由于其目前的立场69%的少数民族学生，"健康"作为一个指定的使命领域，其声明 目标是成为全国顶尖的公立城市研究型大学之一，流感大学提供了一个重要的机会， 培养更多代表性不足的少数民族科学家从事生物医学研究事业。 流感大学的MBRS项目通过使选定的教师能够进行 生物医学研究，为设备和用品以及实验室支持提供充足的资金， 暑期研究该计划还鼓励跨学科交流，促进资源共享， 并提供教师费用，以在全国会议上展示他们的成果。此外，它还提供了 建立研究经验和数据库，以鼓励教师获得额外的，非- MBRS支持他们的研究。 这一设备提案将继续SCORE赠款的努力， 在佛罗里达国际大学的研究，特别是在生物化学，免疫学， 微生物学、神经生理学、分子生物学和生物医学工程。流感MBRS评分 该计划将于04/01/02进入四年奖的第三年。有7个正在进行的子项目， 项目都在目标上。该计划已经达到了第1年和第2年的目标， 将有助于继续成功的可能性。

Florida International University is an urban, doctoral granting institution located in Miami, Florida's largest population center. The mission of this state university is to serve the people of southeast Florida, the state, the nation and the international community by imparting knowledge through excellent teaching, creating new knowledge through research and fostering creativity and its expression. In 1996, FlU formally changed its mission statement "Reaching for the Top" to include "Health" as one of its primary strategic themes. With its current standing of 69% minority students, "Health" as a designated mission area, and its stated goal to be one of the nation's top public urban research universities, FlU provides a significant opportunity to develop more underrepresented minority scientists for biomedical research careers. The MBRS program at FlU has fostered faculty research by enabling selected faculty to conduct biomedical research with adequate funding for equipment and supplies as well as laboratory support for summer research. The program also encourages interdisciplinary interchange, facilitates resource sharing and provides faculty expenses to present their results at national meetings. Additionally, it provides the building of a research experience and data base so as to encourage the faculty to obtain additional, non- MBRS support for their research. This proposal for equipment will continue the efforts of the SCORE grant which represents ongoing research at Florida International University, specifically in the fields of biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, neurophysiology, molecular biology and biomedical engineering. The FlU MBRS SCORE program will enter its third year of a four year award on 04/01/02. There are 7 active subprojects and all projects are on target. The program has met its objectives for years 1 and 2 and the proposed equipment would contribute to the probability of continued success.
