SCORE PROGRAM AT CAL POLY POMONA

加州大学保利·波莫纳分校的SCORE计划旨在显著提高大学的研究能力，最终目标是增加有动力追求生物医学科学家职业生涯的未被充分代表的少数族裔学生的数量。为了实现这些目标，该计划将资助高质量的研究，从而出版同行评议的出版物，并加强科学研究的基础设施。该计划包括12个子项目，总共涉及14名教职员工，所有这些教师都对研究和本科教育做出了强有力的、明显的承诺。该项目是跨学科的，涉及来自两所不同学院的四个学术部门的教职员工。这些项目也是多种多样的，涵盖了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的各种主题。在最近一项关于生物科学博士学位本科生来源的调查中，NSF将加州大学保利列为前25名“硕士学院和大学”之一。在新时代的鲍勃·铃木的领导下，该大学高度重视：加强研究和其他学术活动；为学生在不断变化的多元文化世界中的生活、领导能力和职业生涯做好准备；以及促进校园社区的学术卓越、教育公平和多样性。已经制定的政策和计划将受益于波莫纳州加州保利的SCORE计划的成功和影响，并为其做出贡献。该大学对SCORE项目的成功有着非常高的承诺，承诺支付拟议研究所需所有设备的一半，并与为教师购买的释放时间相匹配，有效地将可用于开展研究的时间翻了一番。参与计分提案的院系在招收代表人数不足的学生方面一直非常有效，例如，拉美裔学生的入学人数增长速度是整个大学的两倍。

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.
