DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ultimate research goal of the Morehouse School of Medicine is to achieve a level of biomedical research capability, and productivity that is equal to that of any medical institution. Toward that goal, funds are requested in this five year renewal application with the overall topic of: "Tissue Protection and Reparative Mechanisms". In this application we plan to (1) consolidate research core activities into groupings encompassing similar technologies, and build new technologies within the reorganized cores that will allow MSM to move ahead in its goal of building a research intense environment. These cores will: (2) foster development of research focus areas falling under the umbrella of our application topic at MSM, which cross basic science and clinical disciplines, and are appropriate to the school's mission. This will be accomplished through funding technical salaries and limited non-personnel support for (a) the development of collaborative research activities in four research areas: Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Reproductive Biology, and Vascular Biology; and (b) development of faculty infrastructure through the development of research programs through these individual research projects for new or junior faculty members. We also plan to fund a second set of developmental applications (one or two) during Years 3-5 of this application cycle, and we envision establishing an annual Research Symposium at MSM focused each year on a different research area falling under our research topic. (3) Finally, we plan to extend our current AIDS Nef Pathogenesis research team, and expand our AIDS focus area, through recruitment of postdoctoral candidates, and enhancing their careers through a comprehensive developmental program. Simultaneously, we will establish the organizational structure necessary to enhance the research and the funding of the pathogenesis group. Achievement of these several objectives will move Morehouse School of Medicine to a new plateau of biomedical research excellence, and make substantial contributions to the fight against AIDS and other diseases that affect underserved populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯医学院的最终研究目标是实现一定程度的生物医学研究能力，生产力等于任何医疗机构的生产力。为了实现这一目标，在这五年的续订应用中要求资金，其总体为“组织保护和修复机制”。在此应用程序中，我们计划（1）将研究核心活动合并为涵盖类似技术的分组，并在重组的核心内建立新技术，以使MSM能够促进其建立研究强烈环境的目标。这些核心将：（2）在MSM的应用主题范围内促进研究重点领域的发展，该主题跨越了基础科学和临床学科，并且适合学校的使命。这将通过资助技术薪水和对（a）在四个研究领域开发的协作研究活动的发展来实现：癌症，传染病，生殖生物学和血管生物学； （b）通过这些新的或初级教师的个人研究项目开发研究计划来开发教师基础设施。我们还计划在本申请周期的3 - 5年内为第二组发展应用（一两个）提供资金，并设想在MSM上建立年度研究研讨会，每年都集中在我们研究主题下的不同研究领域。 （3）最后，我们计划通过招募博士后候选人，通过综合发展计划来扩展当前的艾滋病NEF发病机理研究团队，并扩大我们的艾滋病重点领域。同时，我们将建立提高发病机理研究和资金所必需的组织结构。实现这一目标将使莫尔豪斯医学学院成为卓越生物医学研究的新高原，并为抗击艾滋病和其他影响服务不足人群的疾病做出了重大贡献。
