DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The SCORE Program at Cal Poly Pomona is designed to significantly improve the research capabilities of the University with the ultimate objectives of increasing the number of underrepresented minority biomedical scientists. To achieve these ends the program will fund high-quality research leading to peer-reviewed publications, strengthen the infrastructure for scientific research and lead to the submission of grant applications from alternate funding sources. The program includes fifteen sub-projects involving fifteen faculty with strong, demonstrable commitments to research, and graduate and undergraduate education. The program is interdisciplinary, involving faculty from four academic departments in two different colleges. The projects are diverse as well, covering topics ranging from human nutrition and health, to neurophysiology, cellular and molecular biology, and organic and biochemistry. In a recent survey of the undergraduate origins of recent doctorates in biological sciences, NSF ranked Cal Poly as one of the top 25 "Masters Colleges and Universities." Under the leadership of a new president, J. Michael Ortiz, the University has placed high priority on: the enhancement of research and other scholarly activities; preparing students for life, leadership, and careers in a changing, multicultural world; and promoting academic excellence, educational equity, and diversity in the campus community. Policies and programs have been instituted that will benefit from and contribute to the success and impact of the SCORE program at Cal Poly, Pomona. The University has a very high level of commitment to the success of the SCORE program, committing to pay for one-half of all of the equipment needed for the proposed research and to match the release time purchased for the faculty. The departments participating in the SCORE proposal have been very effective at recruiting underrepresented students, with a higher percentage of underrepresented minority students and a more rapid growth rate than for the University as a whole.

描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学保利波莫纳分校的SCORE计划旨在显著提高大学的研究能力，最终目标是增加代表不足的少数族裔生物医学科学家的数量。为了实现这些目标，该计划将资助高质量的研究，从而形成同行评议的出版物，加强科学研究的基础设施，并导致提交来自替代资金来源的赠款申请。该计划包括15个子项目，涉及15名教职员工，他们对研究、研究生和本科教育有着坚定的、可证明的承诺。该项目是跨学科的，涉及来自两所不同学院的四个学术部门的教职员工。这些项目也是多种多样的，涵盖了从人类营养和健康到神经生理学、细胞和分子生物学以及有机和生物化学的各种主题。在最近一项关于生物科学博士学位本科生来源的调查中，NSF将加州大学保利列为前25名“硕士学院和大学”之一。在新校长J.Michael Ortiz的领导下，该大学高度重视：加强研究和其他学术活动；为学生在不断变化的多元文化世界中的生活、领导力和职业生涯做好准备；以及在校园社区促进学术卓越、教育公平和多样性。已经制定的政策和计划将受益于波莫纳州加州保利的SCORE计划的成功和影响，并为其做出贡献。该大学对SCORE项目的成功有着非常高的承诺，承诺支付拟议研究所需所有设备的一半，并与为教师购买的释放时间相匹配。参与计分建议的部门在招收代表性不足的学生方面一直非常有效，少数民族学生的代表性不足的比例更高，增长速度比整个大学更快。
