DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a collaborative CAM research development capability enhancement program between City University of New York (CUNY) and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. An area of strength for both institutions is in botanical studies, and this will be the focus of the project. Lehman College, CUNY will serve as the lead minority-serving institution (MSI), but other CUNY MSIs will also participate in the project. Lehman houses CUNY's Plant Science doctoral program, and has a number of faculty with particular strength in basic plant biology research. In addition, researchers at the New York Botanical Garden, located less than a mile from Lehman and a partner in CUNY's doctoral program, will participate in this research development program. Columbia University's Rosenthal Center brings an established record in clinical and basic science research in medicinal plants. The proposed program, headed by established collaborators Dr. Edward Kennelly (Lehman) and Dr. Fredi Kronenberg (Columbia), has two specific aims: developing collaborative botanically-oriented CAM research projects between CUNY and Columbia researchers for submission to NIH as R01 or R21 applications; and educating CUNY investigators on the NIH research grant application process. The program will be open to ten CUNY botanical researchers. The aims will be accomplished through a two-stage program of research development and priority setting. The research development stage will give CUNY and Columbia researchers a chance to learn about each others' work though a monthly seminar series. The CUNY researchers will attend two continuing medical education courses "Botanical Medicine in Modern Clinical Practice" and on nutrition "Nutrition and Health: State of the Science and Clinical Applications" to give them a broad view of how botanicals are used in the US. Additional opportunities for CUNY faculty to participate in workshops on grant writing, institutional review boards, and CAM-specific issues for scientific paper writing are described. In the priority-setting stage, CUNY faculty who have completed the first research development stage will be asked to develop a concept paper for an NIH research application. The concept papers will be reviewed by appropriate Columbia researchers, and up to three concept papers will be selected for intense development. Based on the research strengths at CUNY we anticipate that CAM-related research projects may be developed in the areas of ethnobotany, cancer chemoprevention, traditional Asian medicine, and metabolic engineering. We anticipate that within a year after the end of the project period, several R21 or R01 botanically-related CAM applications will be submitted to NIH.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是纽约市立大学 (CUNY) 和哥伦比亚大学内外科医学院之间的合作 CAM 研究开发能力增强计划。两个机构的优势领域都是植物学研究，这将是该项目的重点。纽约市立大学雷曼学院将作为主要少数族裔服务机构 (MSI)，但纽约市立大学的其他 MSI 也将参与该项目。雷曼学院拥有纽约市立大学植物科学博士项目，并拥有一批在基础植物生物学研究方面具有特殊实力的教师。此外，距离雷曼兄弟不到一英里的纽约植物园的研究人员以及纽约市立大学博士项目的合作伙伴也将参与这项研究开发项目。哥伦比亚大学罗森塔尔中心在药用植物临床和基础科学研究方面取得了良好的记录。该拟议项目由既定合作者 Edward Kennelly 博士（雷曼兄弟）和 Fredi Kronenberg 博士（哥伦比亚）领导，有两个具体目标：在纽约市立大学和哥伦比亚大学研究人员之间开发以植物学为导向的 CAM 研究项目，并以 R01 或 R21 的形式提交给 NIH应用程序；向纽约市立大学的研究人员介绍美国国立卫生研究院研究经费申请流程。该计划将向 10 名纽约市立大学植物学研究人员开放。这些目标将通过研究开发和优先事项设定的两个阶段计划来实现。研究开发阶段将使纽约市立大学和哥伦比亚大学的研究人员有机会通过每月的研讨会系列了解彼此的工作。纽约市立大学的研究人员将参加两门继续医学教育课程“现代临床实践中的植物医学”和营养学“营养与健康：科学现状和临床应用”，以使他们对植物药在美国的使用有一个广泛的了解。介绍了 CUNY 教员参加有关拨款写作、机构审查委员会和 CAM 科学论文写作特定问题研讨会的额外机会。在优先级设定阶段，已完成第一个研究开发阶段的纽约市立大学教员将被要求为 NIH 研究应用编写一份概念文件。概念论文将由适当的哥伦比亚研究人员进行审查，最多将选择三篇概念论文进行深入开发。基于 CUNY 的研究优势，我们预计 CAM 相关的研究项目可能会在民族植物学、癌症化学预防、亚洲传统医学和代谢工程领域开展。我们预计在项目期结束后的一年内，将向 NIH 提交一些与 R21 或 R01 植物学相关的 CAM 申请。
