IMPROVE EVENTS / COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 为了加强我们的科学活动，并保持互补的机构活动： 基因中心的科学活动（年度国际研讨会，座谈会和研讨会）是非常明显和非常成功的计划，我们建议继续下去。这些项目具有多种功能，对于基因中心作为一流研究项目的发展至关重要。他们致力于通过将顶尖研究人员带到亨特，使基因中心社区接触一流的研究。 它们还有助于突出在基因中心进行的研究，并提供研究合作的机会。基因中心务虚会为基因中心的研究人员提供了一个重要的机会，参加有关专业和组织发展的讨论和研讨会，并在一个有重点的环境中分享科学信息。我们计划复制和加强我们在2001年5月成功举办的务虚会。我们还将继续利用机构资金支持补充性举措。这些举措包括基因中心研究生研究支持计划，该计划招募优秀的美国和少数民族研究生研究人员进入基因中心实验室和本科生研究暑期计划（SPUR），该计划在为少数民族本科生的生物医学职业生涯做准备方面发挥着重要作用。基因中心的重要外联活动，包括宣传和推广以及招聘教师，也得到这些机构资金的支持。基因中心和JustGarciaHill网站也为基因中心的外联活动提供必要的支持，并将获得少量机构资金用于运作。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. To enhance our scientific events and maintain complementary institutional activities: The scientific events of the Gene Center (annual international symposia, colloquia, and seminars) are highly visible and extremely successful programs that we propose to continue. These programs serve multiple functions that are crucial to the development of the Gene Center as a first class research program. They serve to expose the Gene Center community to first class research by bringing top researchers to Hunter. They also serve to highlight the research conducted at the Gene Center and provide opportunities for research collaboration. The Gene Center retreat provides an important opportunity for Gene Center researchers to participate in discussions and workshops on professional and organizational development, and to share scientific information in a focused setting. We plan to replicate and enhance a successful retreat we conducted in May 2001. We will also continue to support complementary initiatives with institutional funds. These initiatives include the Gene Center Graduate Research Support program which recruits outstanding U.S. and Minority graduate researchers into Gene Center labs and the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR), a program that plays a significant role in preparing minority undergraduate students for careers in biomedicine. Significant outreach activities of the Gene Center that involve publicity and promotion as well as recruitment of faculty are also supported by these institutional funds. The Gene Center and the JustGarciaHill websites also provide essential support to the outreach activities of the Gene Center and will receive modest institutional funds for operation.
