MBRS-SCORE Program at Alcorn State University

奥尔康大学（ASU）的这第一个SCORE资助申请已经发展成为扩大ASU生物医学科学研究机会的任务。 四个主要目标是实现。 这项任务a）研究调查人员将成功地完成其试点/子项目中设定的具体目标; B）以同行评审的科学期刊论文和/或在国家或区域科学会议上的演示文稿的形式传播研究成果; c）增加ASU-MBRS-SCORE教师向MBRS以外的机构提交的校外研究资助申请的数量; d）激励其他有研究能力的教师在他们的领域开展研究活动。 该SCORE申请包括三个研究子项目和一个试点项目，涉及来自三个不同学术单位的六名亚利桑那州立大学教师，研究主题包括：脑啡肽对免疫反应的调节;通过营养干预减轻酒精诱导的脂肪肝;研究铅和甲基汞在发育中大鼠大脑中的神经毒性机制;一个关于在Mucor recemosus中的表型多药物适应的试点项目。 这些多样化的研究活动将大大有助于亚利桑那州立大学的长期机构目标，协助亚利桑那州立大学的教师开发有竞争力的研究项目，并增加亚利桑那州立大学从事生物医学研究的教师人数。 我们认为，实现这些目标将有助于行政部门，教师和学生认为“教学和研究”，而不是“教学只”作为大学锻造前进，以满足学生在新千年的需要。 所有的研究活动都将使用适当的评估工具进行评估，沿着适当的反馈机制，以阻止任何可能阻碍奥尔康州立大学研究活动成功的障碍。

This very first SCORE grant applications from Alcorn University (ASU) has developed with the task of expanding research opportunities in biomedical sciences at ASU. Four major goals are set to accomplish. This task a) Research investigators will successfully complete specific aims as set in their pilot/sub-projects; b) Disseminate research outcomes in the form of peer reviewed scientific journal papers and/or presentations at national or regional scientific meetings; c) Increase the number of extramural research grant applications submitted by the ASU-MBRS-SCORE faculty to agencies other than MBRS; d) Motivate other research capable faculty members to initiate research activities in their areas. This SCORE applications includes 3 research sub-project and one pilot project involving six ASU faculty member from three different academic units with diverse research topics such as; modulation of immune responses by enkephalins; alleviating alcohol induced fatty liver by nutritional interven tion; studying the mechanism of neurotoxicity by lead and methyl mercury in the develop rat brain; a pilot project on phenotypic multi-drug adaptation in Mucor recemosus. These diverse research activities will significantly contribute to ASU's long term institutional goal of assisting the faculty at ASU to develop competitive research programs, and to increase the number of ASU's faculty pool engaged in biomedical research. We assume that accomplishing the goals will help the administration, faculty and students to think "instruction and research" rather than "instruction only" as the university forges ahead to serve the needs of its students in the new Millennium. All research activities will be evaluated using appropriates evaluation instruments along with suitable feed-back mechanisms to thwart any hindrances that might inhibit the success of the research activities at Alcorn States University.
