描述(由申请人提供)：雷曼学院是一所西班牙裔服务机构，也是布朗克斯区唯一的公立学院。1.2米)。雷曼兄弟支持活跃的研究实验室，并将本科生、硕士和博士生纳入其研究项目。由于MBR和SCORE资助，该机构的研究环境蓬勃发展。活跃的研究实验室的存在增加了少数族裔学生获得必要的研究经验的机会，以产生和支持对研究事业的渴望。2003年9月1日，SCORE计划开始了为期4年的续展第一年。这份补充申请建议在雷曼学院目前资助的10个研究项目的基础上增加8个研究项目。拟议子项目的主要研究人员来自人类学、生物学和心理学系。这些拟议项目的加入将进一步增强雷曼兄弟在生物医学科学研究的广度和深度，并将为我们的学生提供更广泛的研究实验室，供他们选择导师。拟议的3D虚拟和立体可视化核心设施将扩大来自三个系的SCORE教员的个人和协作研究工作，并包括来自数学系和化学系的相关调查人员。这一设施将补充新的SCORE支持的生物成像设施。雷曼计分计划的拟议目标是提高教师生产率，衡量指标是发表的论文数量和提交的R01和R01类型研究支持的拨款申请数量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lehman College is a Hispanic Serving Institution and the only public college in the Bronx (pop. 1.2M). Lehman supports active research laboratories and includes undergraduate, masters and doctoral level students in its research programs. The research environment of the institution has blossomed as a result of MBRS and SCORE funding. The presence of active research laboratories leads to increased opportunities for minority students to obtain research experience necessary to engender and support aspirations for research careers. On September 1, 2003, the SCORE program began the first year of its 4-year renewal. This supplemental application proposes the addition of 8 research projects to the 10 currently funded at Lehman College. Principal Investigators of the proposed subprojects come from the Departments of Anthropology, Biology, and Psychology. The addition of these proposed projects will further enhance the breadth and depth of Lehman's research in biomedical science and will offer our students a wider range of research laboratories from which to select their mentors. The proposed 3D Virtual and Solid Visualization Core Facility will extend individual and collaborative research efforts of SCORE faculty from the three departments represented, as well as including associated investigators from the Departments of Mathematics and Chemistry. This facility will complement the new SCORE supported Biological Imaging Facility. The proposed goals of the Lehman SCORE program are to increase faculty productivity measured by numbers of published papers and by numbers of grant applications submitted for R01 and R01-type research support.
