项目摘要

The Mississippi EPSCoR Program is a major initiative of the Mississippi Research Consortium (MRC). The Mississippi Research Consortium is a coalition of the state's four research institutions -Jackson State University, Mississippi State University, The University of Mississippi, and The University of Southern Mississippi - whose chief research officers make up the Board. The four EPSCoR infrastructure improvement goals are: (1) to develop research groups in Gene Regulation, Electrically Conducting Materials, Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Interactions, and Computational Chemistry into self-supporting nationally competitive units; (2) to strengthen university research capability in chemical sciences; material sciences; biological sciences; social, behavioral, and economic sciences; and computational sciences, including high-capacity networking; (3) to strengthen program development at the research institutions and the medical center through campus-based focused activities; and (4) to increase the role of university faculty in technology transfer/economic development activities. The four research groups: will build laboratories and programs around their research foci to enable them to pursue funding to replace EPSCoR funds. Their plans include graduate and undergraduate program development, curriculum development/enhancement, establishment of partnerships, purchase of equipment, faculty recruitment, and development of post-doctoral strength. The EPSCoR Committee will continue internal program monitoring and evaluation using established performance measures.

密西西比 EPSCoR 计划是密西西比研究联盟 (MRC) 的一项重大举措。密西西比研究联盟是该州四个研究机构（杰克逊州立大学、密西西比州立大学、密西西比大学和南密西西比大学）的联盟，董事会由其首席研究官组成。 EPSCoR基础设施改进的四个目标是：（1）将基因调控、导电材料、神经内分泌免疫相互作用和计算化学研究组发展成为自立的国家竞争力单位； (2) 加强大学化学科学研究能力；材料科学；生物科学；社会、行为和经济科学；和计算科学，包括高容量网络；（3）通过校园重点活动，加强研究机构和医学中心的项目开发； (4) 增强大学教师在技术转让/经济发展活动中的作用。四个研究小组：将围绕其研究重点建立实验室和项目，使他们能够寻求资金来取代 EPSCoR 资金。他们的计划包括研究生和本科生项目开发、课程开发/增强、建立合作伙伴关系、购买设备、教师招聘和博士后实力发展。 EPSCoR 委员会将继续使用既定绩效指标进行内部计划监控和评估。
