DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alabama State University (ASU) seeks to support its commitment to research excellence by applying for continuation of its successful Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS)-Support of Continuous Research Excellence (SCORE) Program. Funding is requested for four (4) years (2004-2008) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)/National Institutes of Health (NIH). The overall Goal of the proposed ASU MBRS-SCORE Program is to advance the vision and mission of the MBRS-SCORE Program to develop biomedical research faculty at minority-serving institutions who are committed to improving competitive research programs and increasing the number of underrepresented minorities professionally engaged in biomedical research. The proposed ASU MBRS-SCORE Program features two (2) research projects in the disciplines of sensory physiology, molecular virology and environmental bioremediation, respectively. The first subproject will study the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in the mammalian vomeronasal organ, a chemosensory organ that mediates the perception of pheromones affecting reproductive behavior and physiology. The second subproject will assess the immunoprotective effects of a DNA vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), one of the most common viral causes of upper and lower respiratory tract disease leading to bronchiolitis and pneumonia. An administrative component aims to facilitate coordinated operation of the Program's research and programmatic activities, assure unified, synergistic interface of the Program with the goals, objectives and activities of the University's highly successful existing Biomedical Research and Training Programs, and evaluate the progress of the individual subprojects and overall Program toward attainment of its proposed aims. The proposed ASU MBRS-SCORE Program will ultimately contribute to enhancing the biomedical research capability of Alabama State University by providing expanded opportunities for underrepresented minorities to engage in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：阿拉巴马州立大学（ASU）试图通过申请持续其成功的少数族裔生物医学研究支持（MBRS） - 持续研究卓越（SCOCE）计划来支持其对研究卓越的承诺。国家通用医学科学研究所（NIGMS）/美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）要求提供四（4）年（2004-2008）的资金。拟议的ASU MBRS得分计划的总体目标是促进MBRS得分计划的愿景和使命，以开发少数族裔服务机构的生物医学研究教师，他们致力于改善竞争性研究计划并增加在生物医学研究中专业参与的代表性不足的少数群体的数量。拟议的ASU MBR-SCOER计划分别在感官生理，分子病毒学和环境生物修复学科中的两个（2）个研究项目。 第一个子运动将研究哺乳动物呕吐器官信号转导的分子机制，哺乳动物呕吐器官是一种化学体器官，介导影响生殖行为和生理学的信息素的感知。 第二次次要注射将评估DNA疫苗对呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）的免疫保护作用，后者是上下呼吸道疾病最常见的病毒原因之一，导致细支气管炎和肺炎。 行政组成部分旨在促进该计划的研究和程序活动的协调运作，确保该计划的统一，协同界面，并具有大学非常成功的现有生物医学研究和培训计划的目标，目标和活动，并评估各个子项目的进步，并为实现其建议的目标实现各个子计划和整体计划。 拟议的ASU MBRS得分计划最终将通过为代表性不足的少数群体提供生物医学研究的机会，从而有助于增强阿拉巴马州立大学的生物医学研究能力。
