This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The RCMI-supported core shared research facilities at the Center for Study of Gene Structure and Function at Hunter College provide essential services to support the first-class research of our scientists. It is imperative that we improve the strengths of the facilities by constantly updating the equipment and expertise of the managers and users. The facilities also allow us to compete for topnotch scientists, highly qualified graduate students and post-doctoral researchers who contribute to our research output. An environment where researchers compete successfully for outside funding is critical to our overall aims, and with the addition of new and planned facilities we will be able to better address the problem of health disparities in the United States. In the next grant period, we plan to hire essential personnel and to upgrade the equipment in the following facilities: Bioimaging, Animal Care, Genomics, Internet2 and the Gene Center Local Area Network (LAN). Our plans include improving these core shared research facilities as well as the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and the X-Ray Diffraction Facilities. These improvements require the following: (a) supporting service contracts with grant funds and users' fees; (b) upgrading the skills of facilities' managers through advanced training, continuing education, external collaborations and professional certifications; and (c) upgrading standard operating procedures, record-keeping, manuals, and websites. Improving our core facilities will help us to maximize our scientific output and attain the goals of the RCMI Program.

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 亨特学院基因结构和功能研究中心由 RCMI 支持的核心共享研究设施为支持我们科学家的一流研究提供必要的服务。我们必须通过不断更新管理人员和用户的设备和专业知识来提高设施的实力。这些设施还使我们能够竞争顶尖的科学家、高素质的研究生和博士后研究人员，他们为我们的研究成果做出了贡献。研究人员成功竞争外部资金的环境对于我们的总体目标至关重要，随着新的和计划中的设施的增加，我们将能够更好地解决美国的健康差距问题。在下一个资助期内，我们计划雇用必要的人员并升级以下设施的设备：生物成像、动物护理、基因组学、Internet2 和基因中心局域网 (LAN)。我们的计划包括改进这些核心共享研究设施以及荧光激活细胞分选 (FACS)、核磁共振 (NMR) 和 X 射线衍射设施。 这些改进要求如下： (a) 用赠款资金和用户费用支持服务合同； (b) 通过高级培训、继续教育、外部合作和专业认证来提升设施管理人员的技能； (c) 升级标准操作程序、记录保存、手册和网站。 改善我们的核心设施将有助于我们最大限度地提高科学产出并实现 RCMI 计划的目标。
