Biomedical Research at Barry University

描述（由申请人提供）：在巴里大学（BU）MBRS SCORE计划的目的是提高研究生产力和参与部门和资助教师的竞争力。该方案的目标和具体可衡量的目标是： 目标1：加强和提高参与教师的研究生产力和竞争力，以制定有竞争力的计划。可衡量的目标包括（i）增加75%的科学会议上的演讲（ii）增加60%的区域会议上的演讲（iii）增加50%的参考出版物数量（iv）增加100%的与非巴里科学家的研究合作（v）增加50%的赠款申请数量。 目标2：在他们资助的研究中，每个参与的教师将达到一个或多个被科学出版物认可的里程碑。可衡量的目标包括：（一）每个教师将有至少两个参考出版物在资助期内（二）每个教师将提交至少一个资助申请在资助期内（三）每个教师将建立形成，定量评估措施适合他们的研究课题。 目标3：提高巴里和参与部门的研究能力和基础设施。可衡量的目标包括：（i）增加50%的内部研讨会（ii）保持科学系年度学术讨论会，以进行研究报告（iii）增加一名额外的受资助研究人员（iv）雇用至少90%的受资助技术人员，他们是生物医学研究中代表性不足的少数民族学生（v）在资助期内，将非受资助系向非MBRS赠款人提交的赠款增加到12笔（vi）增加非资助教师在会议上的演讲，平均每年6次。 这些目标反映了MBRS SCORE的使命，因此满足这些目标将有助于实现该使命。Handel-Fernandez、Hu和Packert博士在本申请中的项目完全雅阁这些计划目标。通过受资助的研究人员的成功研究，将进一步开发一个具有竞争力的研究计划，以实现MBRS SCORE计划的目标。该计划采用了各种量化指标，以提供形成性和总结性的评价。这些范围从出版物的数量到对演讲和科学会议等形成性活动的参与程度的衡量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the MBRS SCORE program at Barry University (BU) is to increase the research productivity and the competitiveness of participating departments and funded faculty. The program's goals and specific measurable objectives are: Goal 1: Strengthen and increase the research productivity and competitiveness of participating faculty in order to develop a competitive program. Measurable objectives include (i) Increase presentations at scientific meetings by 75% (ii) Increase presentations at regional meetings by 60% (iii) Increase number of refereed publications by 50% (iv) Increase research collaboration with non-Barry scientists by 100% (v) Increase number of grant applications by 50%. Goal 2: In their funded research, each participating faculty member will reach one or more milestones that are recognized by scientific publication. Measurable objectives include (i) Each faculty member will have at least two refereed publications over the funding period (ii) Each faculty member will submit at least one grant application over the funding period (iii) Each faculty member will establish formative, quantitative evaluation measures appropriate to their research topic. Goal 3: Improve the research capability and infrastructure for Barry and participating departments. Measurable objectives include: (i) Increase in-house seminars by 50% (ii) Maintain annual Science Faculty colloquium for research presentations (iii) Add one additional funded investigator (iv) Hire at least 90% of funded technicians who are underrepresented minority students in biomedical research (v) Over the funding period increase to 12 the grants submitted by non-funded faculty to non-MBRS grantors (vi) Increase presentations at meetings by non-funded faculty to an average of 6 per year. These goals reflect the mission of MBRS SCORE, so meeting these goals will contribute to fulfill that mission. The projects of Drs. Handel-Fernandez, Hu and Packert in this application are in full accord with these program goals. Through the successful research of the funded investigators, a competitive research program will be further developed that achieves the goals of the MBRS SCORE program. The program employs a variety of quantitative metrics to provide formative and summative evaluation. These range from counts of publications to measures of participation in formative activities like presentations and scientific meetings.
