EARDA PROGRAM
The Phase I EARDA project enabled Virginia State University (VSU) to establish the Office of Sponsored Research in Health-Related Sciences (OSRHRS) under the direction of a trained Extramural Associate, Dr. Shobha Sriharan and develop preliminary sponsored research activities. The investment made through Phase II EARDA is crucial for the establishment and implementation of biomedical and behavioral research and research training programs for VSU's minority faculty and students. The main goal of this Phase II EARDA proposal is to continue to strengthen the activities initiated during the Phase I EARDA project for enhancing the research capacity of Virginia State University (VSU), a Historically Black College and University, so that VSU has an effective Office of Sponsored Research. The infrastructure developed during the Phase I EARDA will be strengthened through the proposed project under the direction of the project director, Dr. Shobha Sriharan, an Extramural Associate (EA) who served as the director of the Phase I EARDA project. |
