Will implement improvements to the research infrastructure of Puerto Rico and will support a critical mass of investigators with shared scientific interests in the neurosciences.
Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence augment and strengthen institutional biomedical research capabilities by expanding and developing biomedical faculty research capability through support of a multidisciplinary center led by a peer-reviewed, NIH-funded investigator with expertise central to the theme of the grant proposal.
