MBRS SCORE PROGRAM AT ST MARYS UNIVERSITY

支持持续卓越研究项目的主要目标如下。(1)增加圣玛丽大学生物科学系、化学/生物化学系和工程系的现场生物医学研究能力；(2)增加圣玛丽大学从事现场生物医学研究的教师人数（从2人增加到7人），并增加圣玛丽大学教师和研究密集型机构的合作项目数量（从4人增加到6人）；(3)增加提交生物医学研究校外资助申请的研究人员人数（由3人增至5人）；(4)提高圣玛丽生物医学研究人员的研究质量和生产力（导致同行评审的出版物和专业协会的演讲增加了50%以上）。目标一将在第一年结束时实现，目标二到四将在资助的第四年结束时实现。这些目标将通过改造一个核心生物医学研究实验室、与一个研究密集型机构建立一个生物医学工程合作试点项目来实现。这些活动将使我们能够实现以下目标：加强大学的物质基础设施，发展和保持新加坡科技大学教职员工的研究潜力，并与研究密集型机构和生物医学产业建立正式的桥梁，以扩大我们教职员工的研究能力。此外，现场研究的增加还有一个额外的好处，那就是大大增加了我们的学生接触从事研究的教师的机会。该大学将为核心生物医学研究实验室的建设捐款25,000美元，并将资助加强和翻新生物医学工程实验室所需的全部15,000美元，以包括生物医学系统建模和控制实验室。

The main goals of this Support for Continuous Research Excellence project are the following. (1) to increase the on-site biomedical research capacity at St. Mary's University in the departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry/Biochemistry and Engineering: (2) to increase the number (from 2 to 7) of St. Mary's faculty engaged in on-site biomedical research and also increase the number of collaborative projects involving St. Mary's faculty and research-intensive institutions from (from 4 to 6); (3) to increase the number of researchers (from 3 to 5) submitting extramural grant proposals for funding biomedical research; and (4) to increase the research quality and productivity of St. Mary'S biomedical researchers (resulting in a more than 50% increase in peer reviewed publications and presentations at professional societies. Goal one will be met by the end of the first year and goals two-four by the end of the fourth year of the grant. These goals will be accomplished through the renovation of a Core Biomedical Research Laboratory, the establishment of a Collaborative Pilot-Project for Biomedical Engineering with a research-intensive institution. The activities will allow us to achieve the goals of enhance the physical infrastructure of the University, developing and sustaining the research potential of StMU faculty, and building formal bridges with research-intensive institutions and biomedical industry to expand the research capability of our faculty. Moreover, the increase in on-site research will have the added benefit of significantly increasing the exposure our students receive to faculty conducting research. The University will contribute $25,000 towards the construction of the Core Biomedical Research Laboratory and will fund the entire $15,000 necessary for enhancing and renovating the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory to include a Biomedical System Modeling and Control Laboratory.
