DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for the competitive renewal of our ARCH program at Florida International University (an MSI). Our partner (RIU) institution is the University of Miami which hosts an NIEHS MFBS Center and an NIEHS/ NSF OHH Center. A two fold approach which includes faculty development and infrastructure development is being used. The MFBS Center encompasses two principle research themes; Marine Toxins and dietary risk and Marine Models of human disease. The OHH Center focuses on algal toxins and genomics and pathogenic microbes. For this ARCH program, we will continue to pursue our research theme of Algal Toxins and will expand our research into Trace Metals in the environment. This program will be a collaborative effort between eight faculty from four departments at FIU and six faculty from four departments at the University of Miami. An Administrative and Planning Core will provide administrative and clerical support to ARCH investigators at FIU and will coordinate activities with UM. In addition to an administrative assistant, who will assist with day to day operations, this core will be composed of three committees to direct and oversee the progress of the program; the IAC, the Executive Committee and the EAC. Program Evaluation will be provided through this core by an independent evaluator. The principal goal of the ARCH program is to establish externally funded, independent research programs in environmental health sciences which are relevant to the NIEHS mission at FIU. The Administrative and planning core will promote these goals through seminars and workshops, and will track the progress of ARCH faculty and provide this data to the independent evaluator. The Research Program Development Core will be composed of two core facilities and research and pilot projects. We propose the continuation of the Toxic Algae Culture Facility to support the research and two pilot projects. This core provides materials and services to ARCH researchers. In addition, we propose to add a Trace Metal Core Facility, which will support three of the proposed pilot projects. This facility will provide analytical support in trace metal analysis to ARCH researchers. Pilot projects will permit ARCH faculty at FIU to acquire preliminary data for research program grant applications.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案旨在对佛罗里达国际大学的 ARCH 项目（MSI）进行竞争性更新。我们的合作伙伴 (RIU) 机构是迈阿密大学，该大学设有 NIEHS MFBS 中心和 NIEHS/NSF OHH 中心。正在使用包括教师发展和基础设施发展在内的双重方法。 MFBS 中心包含两个主要研究主题：海洋毒素和饮食风险以及人类疾病的海洋模型。 OHH 中心专注于藻类毒素、基因组学和病原微生物。对于这个 ARCH 项目，我们将继续追求藻类毒素的研究主题，并将我们的研究扩展到环境中的微量金属。该项目将由来自佛罗里达国际大学四个系的八名教职人员和来自迈阿密大学四个系的六名教职人员共同努力。行政和规划核心将为金融情报中心的 ARCH 调查人员提供行政和文书支持，并将与 UM 协调活动。除了协助日常运营的行政助理外，该核心还将由三个委员会组成，负责指导和监督该计划的进展； IAC、执行委员会和 EAC。计划评估将由独立评估员通过该核心提供。 ARCH 计划的主要目标是在环境健康科学领域建立外部资助的独立研究计划，这些计划与金融情报机构 NIEHS 的使命相关。行政和规划核心将通过研讨会和讲习班来促进这些目标，并将跟踪 ARCH 教师的进展并将这些数据提供给独立评估员。研究计划开发核心将由两个核心设施以及研究和试点项目组成。我们建议继续有毒藻类培养设施以支持研究和两个试点项目。该核心为 ARCH 研究人员提供材料和服务。此外，我们建议增加微量金属核心设施，该设施将支持三个拟议的试点项目。该设施将为 ARCH 研究人员提供痕量金属分析的分析支持。试点项目将允许佛罗里达国际大学的 ARCH 教员获取研究项目拨款申请的初步数据。
