The Research Improvement 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            program 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.  Sul Ross State                    University will use RIMI support to study insect-resistant range                grasses of the Chihuahuan Desert Region (CDR).  Certain compounds are           known to have a protective function against various herbivores and              researchers at Sul Ross propose to select grasses that are resistant            to grasshoppers, a major pest of rangeland forage grasses.                                                                                                      This project will entail a genecological survey of CDR range grasses            in order to assess genetic and environmental variability of these               rangeland resources.  The principal investigator is well trained in             chemical systematics and has published in refereed journals.  The               Foundation has supported this project because it will provide                   minorities in the southwest with greater opportunities to participate           in meritorious research.
