Minority High School Student Research Apprentice Program @ Johns Hopkins University
The development of the research environment at Clark Atlanta University, begun under the current award period, will be continued and accelerated to achieve the following goals: 1. Assemble a critical mass of research talent in two areas of focus: (i) Gene Structure, Expression and Regulation; and (ii) Chemical Modulation of Cellular Function. 2. Stimulate research activity and foster collaborations among RCMI investigators and between RCMI investigators and other researchers within and outside Clark Atlanta University. 3. Support the comprehensive development of current and future RCMI program researchers to achieve mainstream research support and to participate fully as peers in the research enterprise. The techniques to be used to accomplish these goals are the following. One to two senior scientists will be hired in each of the areas of focus. These established scientists will spur the rapid development of these areas by bringing additional expertise and serving as mentors and collaborators for some of the junior scientists on staff. The development of collaborative research projects among members of the Clark Atlanta University research faculty and with scientists at other institutions will be strongly encouraged. Postdoctoral trainees will be hired to assist in the research on most projects to increase research productivity. Small grants (seed money) will be available to scientists to fund initial research projects for new investigators, to provide support for new collaborative efforts and to provide interim research support for established investigators who may experience a temporary hiatus of external support. Infrastructure improvements begun by the new administration will be completed to provide an improved research environment. The revised research focus of the proposed program and the improved research environment of the University will have a significant impact on the research productivity of the faculty.

Learning and Perception of Complex Acoustic Structures @ Johns Hopkins University
How do people hear and recognize the structure and meaning of spoken languages? How do they recall the melodies and rhythms of music? How does the brain store such information and how is it retrieved from memory? Are humans and animals alike in the way they make sense out of sounds they hear? These are the general questions that lie behind Dr. Hulse's research. The underlying problem--how both humans and nonhuman animals learn and remember that sounds occur one after another--is fundamental for the survival of all species. For example, just as humans must manage the serial sounds of language and music, animals (like birds and dolphins, for example) must recognize the communication sounds of their own species in order to find and defend a place to live and to find a mate. As a sample of the research, birds will be tested for their ability to distinguish one pattern of pitches or rhythms from another. Then the patterns will be changed systematically to tease apart the features the birds need to maintain their discrimination. In this way, Dr. Hulse will try to discover the critical features of serial sound patterns (such as bird song) that carry information crucial for communication. Besides its focus on the basic problem of serial order in behavior, this research has the potential for some useful practical application. In the long run, for example, we may gain new information about the things that go wrong with language when injury or stroke occurs.

Discrimination and Perception of Complex Sounds @ Johns Hopkins University
IBN-9317868 Stewart Hulse Animal communication is an important biological process, playing a role in mate choice, predation and sociality, for example. It also has considerable practical significance. Sound provides an important channel for much animal communication. Dr. Hulse will study how auditory communication takes place. We know a great deal about what animals "say" to one another. However, we know less about how animals make sense out of what they hear. A series of experiments using complex artificial and natural sounds will shed new light on auditory perception. Behavioral tests will be used to analyze the perceptual processes underlying the ability of songbirds to discriminate and classify sounds based on their pitch, spectral structure and temporal structure. These studies of auditory perception and communication are interesting not only in their own right, but also because they may eventually help us to understand communication processes generally -- such as the brain and behavioral processes underlying human language and speech.
