DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The University of Miami CSTORMS - The Center for Subtropical and Tropical Oceans and Human Health Research in the Marine Sciences and its collaborators propose to build on several decades of collaborative and interdisciplinary research, education and training to address the new NIEHS-NSF research initiative in Oceans and Human Health. CSTORMS will focus on issues relevant to the Southeastern United States and Caribbean, as well as global Sub/Tropical areas worldwide, to integrate interdisciplinary research between biomedical and oceanographic scientists. CSTORMS will include three Research Projects. CSTORMS investigators will expand existing research into Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) of the NIEHS Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Center and the NIEHS-funded Florida International University (FIU), University of Miami (UM) ARCH Program to examine the application of toxic algal culture, toxin analysis, remote sensing, oceanography, and genomics to subtropical/tropical HAB organism and toxin distribution with biological oceanographers, biochemists, and plankton biologists. The Center will also explore the interaction between functional genomics and NSF funded oceanography of the subtropical/tropical HAB organism, Karenia brevis, and its environmental interactions with collaborations between oceanography, genomics, chemistry, and remote sensing. Taking advantage of local subtropical/tropical conditions, the Center will explore the relationship between microbial indicators and human health effects in sub/tropical recreational marine waters, incorporating NSF-funded oceanographic current modeling to predict ambient conditions, with environmental engineers, remote sensors, microbiologists, physical oceanographic modelers, and epidemiologists. There will be three CSTORMS Facility Cores supporting this research in Genomics, Remote Sensing and Toxic Algal Culture. An Administrative Core will encourage additional integrated interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration through an active interdisciplinary Pilot Project Program, well as an outreach and education program, supported by Internal and External Advisory Committees. To accomplish this research program in subtropical/tropical oceans and human health, CSTORMS will collaborate with interdisciplinary scientists at Florida International University (FIU), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Miami Dade County Department of Health, the University of Florida, and other institutions, as well as other Oceans and Human Health Centers and researchers. The ultimate goals of CSTORMS are to foster innovative interdisciplinary scientific research, and to train scientists, in the biological and oceanographic sciences concerning issues affecting the subtropical and tropical oceans, and their human populations.

描述（由申请人提供） 迈阿密大学 CSTORMS - 海洋科学领域的亚热带和热带海洋与​​人类健康研究中心及其合作者提议，以数十年的合作和跨学科研究、教育和培训为基础，解决 NIEHS-NSF 在海洋领域的新研究计划和人类健康。 CSTORMS 将重点关注与美国东南部和加勒比地区以及全球亚/热带地区相关的问题，以整合生物医学和海洋学科学家之间的跨学科研究。 CSTORMS 将包括三个研究项目。 CSTORMS 研究人员将扩大 NIEHS 海洋和淡水生物医学科学中心以及 NIEHS 资助的佛罗里达国际大学 (FIU)、迈阿密大学 (UM) ARCH 计划对有害藻华 (HAB) 的现有研究，以检查有毒藻类培养的应用与生物海洋学家、生物化学家和浮游生物生物学家合作，对亚热带/热带 HAB 生物体和毒素分布进行毒素分析、遥感、海洋学和基因组学。 该中心还将探索功能基因组学和 NSF 资助的亚热带/热带 HAB 生物体短卡伦尼亚海洋学之间的相互作用，及其与海洋学、基因组学、化学和遥感之间的合作的环境相互作用。 该中心将利用当地亚热带/热带条件，与环境工程师、遥感器、微生物学家合作，探索亚/热带休闲海水中微生物指标与人类健康影响之间的关系，结合美国国家科学基金会资助的海洋流模型来预测环境条件、物理海洋学建模师和流行病学家。 将有三个 CSTORMS 设施核心支持基因组学、遥感和有毒藻类培养方面的这项研究。 行政核心将通过内部和外部咨询委员会支持的积极的跨学科试点项目以及外展和教育计划，鼓励额外的综合跨学科和机构间合作。 为了完成这一亚热带/热带海洋和人类健康研究项目，CSTORMS 将与佛罗里达国际大学 (FIU)、疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC)、迈阿密戴德县卫生部、佛罗里达大学的跨学科科学家合作。佛罗里达州和其他机构，以及其他海洋和人类健康中心和研究人员。 CSTORMS 的最终目标是促进创新的跨学科科学研究，并培训生物和海洋科学领域的科学家，研究影响亚热带和热带海洋及其人类的问题。
