The SCORE Program at Cal Poly Pomona is designed to significantly improve the research capabilities of the University with the ultimate objective of increasing the number of under-represented minority students who are motivated to pursue careers as biomedical scientists. To achieve these ends the program will fund high-quality research leading to peer- reviewed publications and strengthen the infrastructure for scientific research. The program includes twelve sub-projects involving a total of fourteen faculty, all with strong, demonstrable commitments to research, and undergraduate education. The program is interdisciplinary involving faculty from four academic departments in two different colleges. The projects are diverse as well, covering topics ranging from human nutrition and health, to organ system structure and function, cellular and molecular biology, and organic and biochemistry. In a recent survey of the undergraduate origins of recent doctorates in biological sciences NSF ranked Cal Poly as one of the top 25 "Masters Colleges and Universities."Under the leadership of a new present, Bob Suzuki, the university has placed high priority on: the enhancement of research and other scholarly activities; preparing students for life, leadership, and careers in a changing, multicultural world; and promoting academic excellence, educational equity, and diversity in the campus community. Policies and programs have been instituted that will benefit from and contribute to the success and impact of the SCORE program at Cal Poly, Pomona. The University has a very high level of commitment to the success of the SCORE program, committing to pay for one-half of all of the equipment needed for the proposed research and to match the release time purchased for the faculty, effectively doubling the time made available for the conduct of t he research. The departments participating in the SCORE proposal have been very effective at recruiting under- represented students, with enrollments of Latino students, for example, growing twice as fast as for the University as a whole.

加州理工学院波莫纳分校的SCORE计划旨在显着提高大学的研究能力，最终目标是增加那些有动力追求生物医学科学家职业的少数民族学生的数量。为了实现这些目标，该计划将资助高质量的研究，导致同行评审的出版物，并加强科学研究的基础设施。该计划包括12个子项目，共涉及14名教师，都具有强大的，可证明的承诺，研究和本科教育。该计划是跨学科的，涉及来自两所不同学院的四个学术部门的教师。这些项目也是多种多样的，涵盖的主题从人类营养和健康，到器官系统结构和功能，细胞和分子生物学，以及有机和生物化学。在最近的一项关于生物科学博士学位的本科生来源的调查中，NSF将加州理工学院列为前25名的硕士学院和大学之一。“在一个新的领导下，鲍勃铃木，大学已高度重视：研究和其他学术活动的增强;准备学生的生活，领导和职业生涯在一个不断变化的，多元文化的世界;并促进学术卓越，教育公平，和校园社区的多样性。政策和计划已经制定，将受益于并有助于在加州理工学院，波莫纳的SCORE计划的成功和影响。该大学有一个非常高的水平的承诺，以SCORE计划的成功，承诺支付一半的所有设备所需的拟议的研究，并匹配为教师购买的发布时间，有效地增加了一倍的时间提供给他的研究的行为。参与SCORE提案的院系在招收代表性不足的学生方面一直非常有效，例如，拉丁裔学生的入学率增长速度是整个大学的两倍。
