DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Phase II UIC ICBG (University of Illinois at Chicago-based ICBG) is a continuation of Phase I UIC ICBG, which has been in operation since October 1, 1998, until September 30, 2003. The specific aims of this proposed Phase II mirror those for Phase I, but with long-term second level achievements as follows: (i) integrated effort of biodiversity inventory and conservation at Cuc Phuong National Park (CPNP) in Vietnam, that will include the preparation of a Manual for taxonomic identification of the flowering plants in the park, the establishment of a Threatened Plants Rescue Center, the implementation of a conservation education program, and the transfer of GIS-based biodiversity assessment technology to Vietnam; (ii) integrated study of medicinal plants of Laos through the strengthening of the Lao Medicinal Plant Database and through a comparative ethnobotany mapping project in selected ecogeographic zones in Laos; (iii) collection of plant samples at CPNP and in Laos as an integral part of the UIC ICBG drug discovery effort during Phase II; (iv) expanded program in Phase II effort in the discovery and development of anti-HIV, anti-malaria, anti-TB, and cancer chemoptherapeutic and chemopreventive agents from plants of Vietnam and Laos; (v) setting up the infrastructure and the human resource for the preservation of traditional knowledge in the uses of plants in primary health care of local communities through the establishment of new and the upgrading of existing ethnomedical gardens established during Phase I; and, lastly, (vi) strengthening the capacity (institutional infrastructure and human resources) of host institutions in Vietnam and Laos, in higher level of expertise, to undertake research in biodiversity study and conservation, ethnobotany, and plant-based drug discovery far into the future, beyond ICBG. These specific aims are to be achieved through the close and synergistic cooperations of four Associate Programs (AP's), each with the following responsibility: (i) biodiversity inventory and conservation at CPNP (AP-1); studies on medicinal plants of Laos (AP-2); (iii) drug discovery from plants of Laos and Vietnam for AIDS, cancer, malaria and tuberculosis therapies (AP-3); and (iv) biomass production and economic development (AP-4). These four AP's will be coordinated by a Group Program, under the direction of the U C ICBG Principal Invest gator. The creation of the 4 AP's is necessary for the achievements of the specific aims as stated.

说明（由申请人提供）：拟议的第二阶段 UIC ICBG（位于芝加哥的伊利诺伊大学 ICBG）是第一阶段 UIC ICBG 的延续，该项目自 1998 年 10 月 1 日起一直运行到 2003 年 9 月 30 日。拟议的第二阶段的具体目标与第一阶段的目标相同，但具有如下长期第二级​​成就： (i) 2017 年 Cuc Phuong 国家公园 (CPNP) 生物多样性清查和保护的综合努力越南，其中包括编写公园内开花植物分类学鉴定手册、建立受威胁植物救援中心、实施保护教育计划以及向越南转让基于地理信息系统的生物多样性评估技术; (ii) 通过加强老挝药用植物数据库和在老挝选定的生态地理区域开展比较民族植物学绘图项目，对老挝药用植物进行综合研究； (iii) 在 CPNP 和老挝收集植物样本，作为 UIC ICBG 第二阶段药物发现工作的一个组成部分； (iv) 扩大第二阶段工作的计划，从越南和老挝的植物中发现和开发抗艾滋病毒、抗疟疾、抗结核病和癌症化学治疗剂和化学预防剂； (v) 通过建立新的民族医学花园和升级第一阶段建立的现有民族医学花园，建立基础设施和人力资源，以保护当地社区初级卫生保健中使用植物的传统知识；最后，(vi) 加强越南和老挝主办机构的能力（机构基础设施和人力资源），以更高的专业水平，开展生物多样性研究和保护、民族植物学和植物药物发现方面的研究未来，超越ICBG。这些具体目标将通过四个准计划 (AP) 的密切和协同合作来实现，每个准计划具有以下职责： (i) CPNP 的生物多样性清查和保护 (AP-1)；老挝药用植物研究（AP-2）； (iii) 从老挝和越南的植物中发现用于治疗艾滋病、癌症、疟疾和肺结核的药物（AP-3）； (iv) 生物质生产和经济发展 (AP-4)。这四个 AP 将在 U C ICBG 首席研究员的指导下由一个集团计划进行协调。 4 个 AP 的创建对于实现所述具体目标是必要的。
