MBRS-SCORE Program at Universidad Central del Caribe

中央加勒比大学医学院(UCC-SM)继续致力于发展强大的研究能力，并激励少数族裔教职员工和学生参与相关的生物医学研究。作为这一长期目标的一部分，我们正在提交我们的竞争续签申请，以继续我们传统的MBRS计划-新的MBRS-SCORE计划。UCC-SM成立于1976年，是一所私立非营利性医学院，其医学和研究生课程获得当地和/或国家机构的认可。此外，我们还与邻近的几个机构建立了联盟，为大量的少数民族本科生和研究生提供服务。UCC-SM的MBRS SCORE倡议包含了国家MBRS计划的使命，即“寻求为代表不足的少数民族提供更多选择和参与生物医学研究职业的机会，并培养具有竞争力的生物医学研究科学家，他们也是少数民族。”UCC-SM的MBR方案的具体目标与国家方案的目标一致：1：为方案的运作以及相关的发展和评估活动提供行政支持和必要的环境。2.为了每年增加，在国家和/或专门会议上的发言次数增加10%。3.到周期结束时，将向校外基金提交建议的教职员工数量增加50%，到第三年结束时，至少有50%的SCORE调查人员提交R型申请。UCC-SM的MBRS-SCORE计划将通过继续和扩大以下拟议的具体活动来实现这些目标：a)教职员工发起了具有科学价值的研究和b)，这是一个积极的发展计划，将提供必要的支持。最后，根据国家卫生研究院和机构的要求，我们正在为评估所有具体的可衡量目标提出一个全面的计划。

The School of Medicine of the Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC- SM) is continuing with its commitment to develop strong research capabilities, and to motivate both minority faculty and students to participate in relevant biomedical research. As part of this long-term goal, we are submitting our competitive renewal application for the continuation of our traditional MBRS Program is a new MBRS-SCORE Program. UCC-SM was founded in 1976 as a private, non-profit Medical School, and its medical and graduate studies program accredited by local and/or national agencies. Furthermore, we have established consortium with several neighboring institutions serving a large population of undergraduate and graduate minority students. MBRS SCORE initiative at UCC-SM, embraces the mission of the national MBRS Program of "seeking to provide expanded opportunities for under-represented minorities to choose and participate in biomedical research careers and developing competitive biomedical research scientists who are also ethnic minorities." The specific goals of the MBRS Program at UCC- SM, which are consonant to the goals of the National Program, are: 1: To provide administrative support and necessary environment for operation of the Program and related developmental and evaluation activities. 2. To increase each year, the number of presentations at national and/or specialized meetings by 10%. 3. To increase the number of faculty submitting proposals to extramural funds by 50% by the end of the cycle, with at least 50% of our SCORE investigators submitting R-type applications by the end of year 3. The MBRS-SCORE Program at UCC- SM will achieve these objectives, via the continuation and expansion of the following proposed specific activities: a). Faculty initiated, scientifically meritorious, research and b), an aggressive developmental program that will provide the necessary support. Finally, following both NIH and Institutional requirements, we are proposing a comprehensive plan for the evaluation of all specific measurable objectives.
