RESEARCH SUPPORT SERVICES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 RCMI计划赞助的研究支持服务包括分子生物学研究实验室（MBRL），细胞培养研究实验室（CCRL）和科学成像中心（SIC）。 我们建议对现有的计算机设施进行增强，使其能够处理计算生物学/生物信息学计算和数据分析。 RCMI对这些设施的支持将包括（除设备外）RCMI设施经理（MBRL、SIC和CCRL）、MBRL协调员和研究技术员100%的工资和附加福利，以及计算机设施经理20%的工资。其他支持将包括每个设施购买一次性用品和气体的最低供应津贴、设备采购（根据中心科学家的建议）、设备服务合同以及服务合同之外的仪器服务的设备维修津贴。 建议RCMI在下一个供资周期继续支持上述三个设施（MBRL、SIC和CCRL）。 这些设施通过提供单个研究人员实验室所没有的设备，大大有助于加强大学的生物医学研究基础设施，并提高了与RCMI有联系的科学家的研究生产力。 这些设施还为科学家、工作人员和学生提供最新方法方面的培训。 还建议RCMI支持增强计算机设施，使感兴趣的科学家能够将其用于计算生物学/生物信息学研究。

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. The research support services sponsored by the RCMI program are the Molecular Biology Research Laboratory (MBRL), the Cell Culture Research Laboratory (CCRL) and the Scientific Imaging Center (SIC). We propose to add enhancements to an existing computer facility to make it capable of handling computational biology/bioinformatics calculations and data analysis. The RCMI support for these facilities will include (in addition to the equipment) 100% of the salary and fringe benefits for the RCMI Facilities Manager (for the MBRL, SIC, and CCRL), the MBRL Coordinator and Research Technician, and 20% of the salary for the manager of the computer facility. Other support will include a minimal supply allowance for each facility to purchase disposable supplies and gases, equipment purchases (as recommended by Center scientists), service contracts on equipment and an equipment repair allowance for service of instrumentation that is not under service contract. It is proposed that RCMI continue to support the three facilities highlighted above (MBRL, SIC and CCRL) for the next funding cycle. The facilities have contributed significantly to the enhancement of the biomedical research infrastructure at the University and to the research productivity of RCMI-affiliated scientists by providing equipment not available in an individual investigator's laboratory. These facilities have also provided training in state-of-the-art methodologies for scientists, staff and students. It is also proposed that RCMI support the enhancement of the computer facility to allow interested scientists to use it for computational biology/bioinformatics research.
