SCORE PROGRAM AT CAL POLY POMONA

加州理工波莫纳分校的SCORE项目旨在显著提高大学的研究能力，最终目标是增加少数族裔学生的数量，这些学生有动力从事生物医学科学家的职业。为了实现这些目标，该计划将资助高质量的研究，从而导致同行评审的出版物，并加强科学研究的基础设施。该项目包括12个子项目，共有14名教师参与，他们都对研究和本科教育有着强烈的、可证明的承诺。该项目是跨学科的，涉及来自两个不同学院的四个学术部门的教师。这些项目也很多样化，涵盖的主题从人体营养和健康，到器官系统的结构和功能，细胞和分子生物学，有机和生物化学。在最近的一项关于生物科学博士学位本科生来源的调查中，美国国家科学基金会将加州理工学院列为前25名“硕士学院和大学”之一。在新任校长鲍勃铃木的领导下，东京大学高度重视：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、领导和职业生涯做好准备；促进学术卓越、教育公平和校园社区的多样性。已经制定了政策和计划，这些政策和计划将受益于加州理工学院波莫纳分校的SCORE计划的成功和影响。大学对SCORE计划的成功有着很高的承诺，承诺支付拟议研究所需设备的一半，并与为教师购买的释放时间相匹配，有效地将可用于进行研究的时间增加了一倍。参与SCORE提案的院系在招收代表性不足的学生方面非常有效，例如，拉丁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.
