The Research Improvment in Minority Institutions (RIMI) program was             established to provide support to strengthen the research environments          and capabilities of predominantly minority institutions or                      institutions that have substantial minority student populations.                Eligible institutions must also have graduate programs in science or            programs in engineering.  Funding is provided for faculty research in           fields of science and engineering supported by the Foundation and for           the acquisition of research instrumentation.  California State                  University - Los Angeles will use RIMI support to establish a core              research facility for recombinant DNA technology.  The investigators            will explore the regulation of neuroactive peptide production and               release, the expression of action genes during development, the                 regulation of membrane development during the sporulation cycle of              Bacillus subtilis, the structural definition of viral protein genes in          mutant Sendai viruses, and the characterization of gram-negative                anaerobes.                                                                                                                                                      Many experiments will utilize cDNA synthesis and molecular cloning              techniques.  The principal investigator is a well-trained biologist             with a specialty in neuroendocrinology.  He has published several               articles in refereed journals.  The Foundation has supported this               project because more minorities will have opportunities to participate          in meritorious research in recombinant DNA technology.
