Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The overall objective of this application is to continue to empower faculty at institutions
with high minority enrollment to develop and submit competitive research proposals. The
original goal of our training partnership with NIIGMS was to translate an innovative, proven grant
writing workshop into an interactive hypermedia course by placing learning modules on the
internet for wide dispersal. Building on our past experience with over 250 faculty and
postdoctoral fellows, the competing renewal has three facets which will take place concurrently:
1) up-dating and revising the 15 modules to incorporate changes in NIH guidelines and to make
them more interactive; 2) plan and implement on-site pre-course workshops to instruct
faulty/postdoctoral fellows and corresponding research administrators in accessing and
navigating the web-based course; 3) developing and implementing a new workshop initiative
focused on training programs, in particular the MORE divisions RISE, Bridges, IMSD and MARC
applications. The focal-point of our program will continue to be focused on minority faculty and
the individual research grant. In response to requests from our faculty participants to improve
their research environment, we recently developed a workshop for research administrators at
minority-serving institutions. The training program component addresses the need to enhance
the pipe-line of minority students entering into biomedical research. Through on-going scientific
mentoring and writing process consultation, we sustain a relationship with our participants well
beyond the workshops and internet course.
Thus, our collaborative partnership with NIGMS should motivate and improve the skills
and abilities of researchers/grant writers at minority institutions, increase the number of
minorities engaged in biomedical research and thereby strengthen the overall research
environment at minority institutions. Success in these areas would have a substantial impact on
the health and well-being of our citizens.
