描述(由申请人提供)： 这是一份申请(10周)夏季实习研究增强支持的申请表 塔拉迪加学院的项目(FRESP)。伦纳德·S·科尔博士是《壁外》的提名者 协会(EA)。他是塔拉迪加国家科学基金会历史黑人学院和大学本科生项目的生物学教授和项目经理，也是NASA与克拉克·亚特兰大大学和阿拉巴马州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟合作项目的首席研究员。他曾担任自然科学和数学系署理院长和生物系主任。 这份申请的目的是使他能够花时间在NIH获得关于资金和教职员工和学生研究机会的信息和经验。他作为EA的经验将提供必要的技能，以帮助其他教员准备和提交有竞争力的研究提案。 塔拉迪加学院成立于1867年，是一所私立的黑人历史文科院校。它有18名全职数学和科学教职员工。其中56%(56%)拥有博士学位。提供五个学科的学位，包括生物、化学、计算机科学、数学和物理。南卡罗来纳大学、哥伦比亚大学、南加州大学和奥本大学、亚利桑那州奥本大学设有工程学双学位课程。虽然(56%)的数学和理科教员拥有博士学位，但目前还没有教员从事研究项目。参加校外联合研究发展计划将使科尔博士具备专门知识，定期举办提案制定研讨会，向教职员工提供资金来源建议，并对科学和数学系制定的提案进行同行评议。目标是：(A)每年增加2%的教职员工，准备资助计划，直到至少有10%的教职员工参与资助研究，并在免费期刊上发表文章；(B)让更多的学生参与研究和出版，至少增加5%；(C)与萨凡纳州立大学、阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校和梅哈里医学院等机构建立更多的合作研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for the (10) week Summer Residency Research Enhancement Support Program (FRESP) from Talladega College. Dr. Leonard S. Cole is the nominee for the Extramural Associateship (EA). He is a Professor of Biology and Project Manager of Talladega's National Science Foundation Historical Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Project as well as Principal Investigator of a NASA collaborative project with Clark Atlanta University and the Alabama Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Project. He has served as Acting Dean, Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics as well as Chairman of the Biology Department. The goal of this application is to enable him to spend time at NIH to acquire information and experience available on funding and faculty and student research opportunities. His experience as an EA will provide essential skills to assist other faculty in preparing and submitting competitive research proposals. Talladega College founded in 1867, is a private historically black, liberal arts institution. It has 18 full-time mathematics and science faculty. Fifty-six percent (56%) of whom hold doctoral degrees. Degrees are offered in five disciplines, including Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics. There are dual degree programs in engineering with the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC and Auburn University, Auburn, AL. Although (56%) of the math and science faculty hold doctoral degrees, currently, there are no faculty conducting research projects. Participation in the Extramural Associate Research Development Program will equip Dr. Cole with the expertise to hold regular proposal development workshops, advise faculty of funding sources and hold work peer reviews of proposals developed by science and math faculty. The objective is to (a) increase the number of faculty by 2% each year who prepare proposals for funding until at least 10% of the faculty are involved in funded research, publishing in refree journals; (b) involve more student participation in research and publishing by a minimum of 5%; (c) establish more collaborative research with institutions such as Savannah State University, University of Alabama at Birmingham and Meharry Medical School.
