The long-range goal of the SCORE Program at Meharry Medical College is to assist in improving the competitive status of the school's research enterprise relative to other health science centers in the United States. The program seeks to create a research environment wherein faculty may improve their research skills and capabilities to efficiently conduct high quality research to disseminate their research through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national meetings, and to compete for independent extramural research funds. Additionally, the SCORE faculty are dedicated to increasing the number of scientists who are members of minority groups who are currently under-represented in biomedical research by their support of the RISE program. Finally, research projects proposed in the SCORE application will assist the institution in its mission to conduct basic, clinical and applied research with special emphasis on diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect the ethnic minority populations. The specific aims (measurable objectives) of the current application are to; 1) to increase the number of peer reviewed publication by MBRS investigators from 1.3 to 2.0 papers per year by the end of year-0.3; 2) to maintain the level of faculty presentations at national meetings to above 1 per year; 3) to increase the acquisition of R01 type grants from 10% to 20% of the SCORE investigators by year-04. The current application requests support for 20 regular research projects and 8 pilot projects. Projects are submitted from the School of Medicine departments of Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pathology and Pharmacology as well as from the School of Dentistry. Thus the projects focus on a broad spectrum of health related issues including cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, signaling and transduction mechanisms, oral health, infectious diseases and neuroscience. Utilizing the increased flexibility and additional resources afforded by the SCORE Program initiative, the program at Meharry Medical College seeks to achieve a more intense research environment, with varied collaborations, to insure that research specific aims are completed, that data are faithfully published and that the pursuit of additional extramural funding is accelerated.

梅哈里医学院SCORE项目的长期目标是帮助提高学校研究企业相对于美国其他健康科学中心的竞争地位。该计划旨在创造一个研究环境，在这个环境中，教师可以提高他们的研究技能和能力，从而有效地进行高质量的研究，通过同行评审的出版物和在国家会议上的演讲来传播他们的研究，并竞争独立的校外研究基金。此外，SCORE的教职员工致力于通过支持RISE项目来增加目前在生物医学研究中代表性不足的少数群体的科学家数量。最后，在SCORE申请中提出的研究项目将有助于该机构开展基础、临床和应用研究，特别强调对少数民族人口造成不成比例影响的疾病和状况。当前应用程序的具体目的（可测量的目标）是：1)到2013年底，将MBRS研究者的同行评议论文数量从每年1.3篇增加到2.0篇；2)将教师在全国会议上的演讲保持在每年1次以上；3)到2004年，将获得R01类型补助金的比例从10%提高到20%。目前的申请要求支持20个定期研究项目和8个试点项目。项目由医学院解剖生理学、生物化学、微生物学、病理学和药理学以及牙科学院提交。因此，这些项目侧重于广泛的与健康有关的问题，包括癌症、心血管和肺部疾病、信号和转导机制、口腔健康、传染病和神经科学。利用SCORE方案倡议提供的更大的灵活性和额外的资源，Meharry医学院的方案寻求通过各种合作实现更密集的研究环境，以确保完成特定的研究目标，忠实地发表数据，并加速寻求额外的校外资金。
