California State Univ. San Bernardino SCORE Proposal

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校（CSUSB）是一所中等规模的综合性大学，校园种族非常多样化。截至2003年秋季入学，超过50%的学生自认为是一个代表性不足的少数群体的成员。中南财经大学还拥有许多从事行为和生物医学研究的教职员工。然而，由于繁重的教学负担和缺乏加州州立大学系统的研究资源，从同行评审的论文发表数量和外部资助奖励的数量来看，这些教员的实验室的生产力并不高。目前的MBRS SCORE提案的目标是提高生物、化学和心理学系教师的生产力，为我校少数民族教师和学生提供更多的行为和生物医学科学研究机会。为了实现这一目标，我们建议：(1)资助有价值的教师发起的研究项目；(2)为从事行为和生物医学研究的教职员工提供统计建议和资助研讨会，以增加学校提交的同行评审手稿和资助的数量；(3)通过我们的外部科学咨询委员会，为校园教师以外的知名研究人员提供指导和指导。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) is a medium-sized comprehensive university with a very racially diverse campus. As of the Fall 2003 enrollment, over 50% of the student population self-identified as a member of an under-represented minority group. The CSUSB campus also has a number of faculty members engaged in behavioral and biomedical research. However, because of heavy teaching loads and a lack of resources for research from the California State University system, the laboratories of these faculty members have had modest productivity as measured by the number of peer-reviewed manuscripts published and external grant awards. The goal of the present MBRS SCORE proposal is to increase the productivity of faculty in the departments of Biology, Chemistry and Psychology to provide more research opportunities in behavioral and biomedical sciences for minority faculty and students at CSUSB. To achieve this goal, we propose to: (1) fund meritorious faculty-initiated research projects; (2) provide statistical advisement and grant workshops to faculty members engaged in behavioral and biomedical research to increase the number peer-reviewed manuscripts and grants submitted from our campus; and (3) provide guidance and mentoring from established researchers outside our campus faculty through our External Scientific Advisory Committee.
