CREATE (Center for Research, Education and Training Enhancement)

 描述（由申请人提供）：该项目汇集了少数民族服务机构的长期需求，以更好地履行其在创建强大和包容性的生物医学劳动力的主导作用。佛罗里达A&M大学目前培养分子细胞生物学和社区心理学硕士学位，以及药理学，公共卫生，药物流行病学/健康结果，环境毒理学，生物医学工程和药物输送博士学位。尽管在生命科学领域黑人博士学位获得者中排名靠前，但我们在生物医学和教育不足人群的独立调查人员的贡献方面取得的成功一直很低。提高研究教育的质量和我们研究界的学员发展是PI和我们机构的首要任务。这个应用程序映射了我们迎接这一挑战的前进道路（在这个应用程序中，“生物医学”是指生物学、行为学、社会学， 临床和环境健康科学）。我们已经确定了一个新的和创新的研究教育和培训卓越中心（创建）在佛罗里达A&M大学的明确需求，并正在寻求资金，以建立这一重要的资源。CREATE将为在研究生涯中面临潜在障碍的校内和校外学生和教师提供服务，特别是解决他们自我准备的差距，并提供环境支持的战略路线，以促进CREATE参与者之间更富有成效的研究生涯。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project brings together a long-standing need for Minority Serving Institutions to better fulfill their leading role in creating a strong and inclusie biomedical workforce. Florida A&M University currently trains Master's degrees in Molecular Cellular Biology, and Community Psychology as well as Doctorate degrees in Pharmacology, Public Health, Pharmacoepidemiology / Health Outcomes, Environmental Toxicology, Biomedical Engineering and Drug Delivery. Despite ranking among the top producers of black doctoral degree recipients in life sciences, our success in the contribution of independent investigators from biomedical and educationally underserved populations has been low. Increasing the quality of research education and the development of trainees in our research community is a top priority of the PI and our institution. This application maps our path forward to meet this challenge (in this application, "biomedical" refers to biological, behavioral, social, clinical, and environmental health sciences). We have identified a clear need for a new and innovative Center for Research Education and Training Excellence (CREATE) at Florida A&M University, and are seeking funding to establish this important resource. CREATE will serve intramural and extramural students and faculty who face potential barriers in their research careers, specifically addressing gaps in their self-preparedness and providing strategic lines of environmental support to foster a more productive research career among CREATE participants.
