California State Univ San Marcos MBRS SCORE Program

描述(由申请者提供)：加州大学圣马科斯分校MBRS分数计划将促进文理学院七名教员的职业发展。请求为下列领域的研究活动提供支助：临床心理学和双语文化敏感的计算机化抑郁症筛查、病毒感染引起的应激反应的分子生物学、海洋生物结构/功能的分子生物学、海洋抗分枝杆菌天然产物研究、阿片类药物作用的精神药理学，以及作为污染和人类疾病预警指标的环境氮通量。教师的职业发展将伴随着学生的参与，他们将发展研究知识和技能，为高级生物医学研究职业生涯做好准备。我们的计划有七个主要目标和可衡量的目标，包括：目标1：增加参与计分教师的出版活动。到成绩更新补助金结束时，成绩教师提交的研究论文数量将增加25%。目标2：增加参与计分教师的助学金提案活动。到分数更新拨款结束时，分数教师提交的拨款提案数量将增加25%。目标3：增加计分员的专业陈述数量。到分数更新拨款结束时，分数教师的专业报告数量将增加25%。目标4：加强参与SCORE计划的系中教员的种族和民族多样性。到分数更新拨款结束时，至少有一名来自代表性不足的种族或民族群体的科学家将被任命为每个系的终身教职教师。目标5：提升参评教师的学术等级。到记分续签补助金结束时，五名参与计分的教职员工将晋升为正教授。目标6：提高学生对生物医学研究的参与度。到成绩更新补助金结束时，参加成绩教师实验室研究的学生人数将增加25%。目标7：改善大学的研究环境。到成绩更新拨款结束时，我们预计校园研究环境的评估分数将提高25%。我们的评估计划为每个项目目标提供形成性和终结性评估。国家成绩计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划是完美一致的。地区少数民族人口的增长，校园对多样性的承诺，拟议项目主任的丰富经验，现有的CSU圣马科斯MBRS Rise，MARC-U*STAR和Bridges计划，以及配备现代科学仪器和强大教学资源的新科学建筑，这些都使CSUSM成为成功实施MBRS SCORE计划的理想地点。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CSU San Marcos MBRS SCORE Program will advance the career development of seven faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences. Support is requested for research activities in the areas of clinical psychology and bilingual culturally-sensitive computerized depression screening, molecular biology of stress induced by viral infections, molecular biology of marine organism structure/function, marine anti-mycobacterial natural products studies, psychopharmacology of opiate actions, and environmental nitrogen flux as an early-warning indicator of pollution and human disease. The career development of faculty will be accompanied by involvement of students who will develop research knowledge and skills to prepare them for advanced biomedical research careers. Our program has seven major goals and measurable objectives including: Goal 1: Increase the publication activity of the participating SCORE faculty. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant the number of research publications submitted by the SCORE faculty will increase by 25%. Goal 2: Increase the grant proposal activity of the participating SCORE faculty. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant, the number of grant proposals submitted by the SCORE faculty will increase by 25%. Goal 3: Increase the number of professional presentations of the SCORE faculty. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant the number of professional presentations given by the SCORE faculty will increase by 25%. Goal 4: Enhance the racial and ethnic diversity of the faculty in the departments participating in the SCORE Program. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant at least one scientist from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group will be appointed as a tenure track faculty to each of these departments. Goal 5: Advance the academic rank of participating SCORE faculty. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant five participating SCORE faculty will be promoted to the rank of full professor. Goal 6: Increase student participation in biomedical research. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant the number of students participating in research in the laboratories of SCORE faculty will increase by 25%. Goal 7: Enhance the research environment of the university. By the end of the SCORE renewal grant, we expect to see a 25% improvement in evaluation scores for the campus research environment. Our evaluation plan provides formative and summative assessment for each project goal. The national SCORE Program's goals and the CSUSM strategic plan are in perfect alignment. The regional minority population growth, the campus commitment to diversity, the extensive experience of the proposed program director, the existing CSU San Marcos MBRS RISE, MARC-U*STAR and Bridges Programs, and the new science buildings equipped with modern scientific instruments and powerful instructional resources collectively make CSUSM an ideal location for a successful MBRS SCORE Program.
