SCORE Project at Lehman College/CUNY

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（人口120万）唯一的公立学院。雷曼支持活跃的研究实验室，其研究项目包括本科生、硕士和博士水平的学生。此SCORE更新申请要求资金支持基础生物医学或行为科学的研究工作。该提案包括13项研究和4项试点项目，由生物学、护理学和心理学的教师提交。该提案的主要目标是通过R01和R01类型的研究支持提交的出版物和研究资助申请的数量来提高教师的生产力。由于MBRS和SCORE的资助，该机构的研究环境蓬勃发展；学院出版物显著增加；实验室研究空间在过去十年中翻了一番；学院的战略使命和长期计划表明，学院已聘请了更多的研究人员，并坚定地承诺支持教师研究补助金相关活动。正如雷曼的战略计划所述，“……研究经验，特别是与教师科学家合作的能力，是决定本科生研究职业道路的关键因素。”活跃的研究实验室的存在使少数民族学生有更多的机会获得必要的研究经验，以产生和支持研究事业的愿望。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lehman College is an Hispanic Serving Institution and the only public college in the borough of the Bronx (population 1.2 M). Lehman supports active research laboratories and includes undergraduate, masters and doctoral level students in its research programs. This SCORE renewal application requests funds to support research efforts in the basic biomedical or behavioral sciences. The proposal includes thirteen research and four pilot projects submitted by faculty from biology, nursing, and psychology. The major goals of the proposal are to increase faculty productivity as measured by the numbers of publications and research grant applications submitted for R01 and R01-type research support. The research environment of the institution has blossomed as a result of MBRS and SCORE funding; faculty publications have increased significantly; laboratory research space has doubled in the last ten years; additional research faculty have been hired and the strong institutional commitment to support faculty research grant-related activities is evinced by the College's Strategic Mission and long range plan. As stated in the Lehman's Strategic Plan, "...research experiences and in particular the ability to work with faculty scientists are a key element in determining the research career paths of undergraduates." 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.
