The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (HBCU-RISE) activity within the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program supports the development of research capability at HBCUs that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines. HBCU-RISE projects have a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department(s) and the institutional mission, and plans for expanding institutional research capacity as well as increasing the production of doctoral students in science and engineering. With support from the National Science Foundation, Alabama State University (ASU), a four-year liberal arts institution with over 89% African American students, aims to enhance the PhD program in Microbiology by expanding research resources in the area of nanobiomaterials and tissue engineering. This project has the potential to contribute significantly to the pool of minority students trained in the emerging field of nanobiomaterials and tissue engineering and significantly expand the breadth of the PhD Program in Microbiology. The proposed project will advance the mission of ASU by providing quality education to a large underrepresented minority population and increasing the number of minority students pursuing STEM degree programs and careers.The proposed research involves the development of novel 3D bioengineered skin and drug-eluting bone scaffolds that potentially could be used to treat diseased and damaged tissues. The project objectives are to: 1) expand research infrastructure by acquiring new equipment and recruiting high caliber scientists with expertise in the area of nanobiomaterials and tissue engineering; 2) provide research support to PhD students and research faculty; and 3) introduce new courses in nanobiomaterials and cell interaction, bioinstrumentation and tissue engineering. The established research infrastructure and partnerships with several research-intensive institutions will have a broader impact on ASU. This project will expand the scientific capabilities and accomplishments of ASU on issues related to NSF's mission, scientific achievement, and technological advancements.

历史悠久的黑人学院和大学研究基础设施科学与工程研究基础设施（HBCU-RISE）在科学技术卓越研究中心（CREST）计划中的活动支持HBCU的研究能力的发展，该研究能力为科学和工程学科提供了博士学位。 HBCU-Rise项目与东道国和机构任务的长期计划有直接联系，并计划扩大机构研究能力，并增加了科学和工程学博士生的生产。在国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）的支持下，阿拉巴马州立大学（ASU）是一家拥有超过89％非洲裔美国学生的四年制文科机构，旨在通过扩大纳米生物材料和组织工程领域的研究资源来增强微生物学博士学位课程。该项目有可能为在纳米生物材料和组织工程新兴领域接受培训的少数族裔学生库做出重大贡献，并显着扩大微生物学博士学位计划的广度。拟议的项目将通过向大量代表性不足的少数族裔提供优质教育，并增加从事STEM学位课程和职业的少数族裔学生的数量来推进ASU的使命。拟议的研究涉及开发新型的3D生物工程性的皮肤和毒品毒品造成的骨架，这些骨架可用于治疗和损害疾病的组织。项目目标是：1）通过获取新设备并在纳米生物材料和组织工程领域招募具有专业知识的高素质科学家来扩展研究基础设施； 2）为博士生和研究学院提供研究支持； 3）引入纳米生物材料和细胞相互作用，生物启示和组织工程的新课程。既定的研究基础设施和与几个研究密集型机构的合作伙伴关系将对ASU产生更大的影响。该项目将在与NSF的使命，科学成就和技术进步有关的问题上扩大ASU的科学能力和成就。
