DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This third supplemental application requests the addition of two regular projects to the SCORE Program currently active at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras. The projects included are from the Department of Biology. One is a revised application according to the critiques reported in the summary statement of the first SCORE supplemental application (Dr. Renaud). The other is from a recently hired neuro- and cell biologist, ex-NIH MARC undergraduate and predoctoral and NINDS-NIH postdoctoral fellow (Dr. Vega). All together complement biomedical research efforts at UPR-RP that have been ongoing for over 33 years under the auspices of the MBRS program and specifically, strengthen the present SCORE Program which groups 15 regular and 3 pilot projects (10 in Chemistry, 6 in Biology and 2 in Mathematics). These two new projects aim to conduct competitive research in areas related to (1) opiate addiction and its role in immunosuppression and dissemination of infectious diseases (Dr. Renaud), and (2) to neurological disorders linked to intracellular protein aggregation (Dr. Vega). These investigations are to be sustained by an ongoing administrative project and by technical and support personnel that include two laboratory technicians and one postdoctoral associate. This enhanced SCORE program will provide this institution first-rate research and development opportunities as well as a fully supportive research atmosphere and will thus help the participating faculty to increase their biomedical research productivity, scientific competitiveness and peer recognition. Research activities in the program also enhance the existing MARC U*STAR program at this institution. Progress in the specific aims of each new project and in the overall aims of the program will be evaluated yearly through an established evaluation plan.

描述（由申请人提供）：第三份补充申请要求在目前在里奥彼德拉斯波多黎各大学开展的 SCORE 项目中添加两个常规项目。包括的项目来自生物系。一个是根据第一个 SCORE 补充申请（Renaud 博士）摘要声明中报告的批评进行修订的申请。另一位来自最近聘用的神经和细胞生物学家、前 NIH MARC 本科生和博士前研究员以及 NINDS-NIH 博士后研究员（Vega 博士）。所有这些都补充了 UPR-RP 在 MBRS 计划的支持下进行了超过 33 年的生物医学研究工作，特别是加强了目前的 SCORE 计划，该计划包括 15 个常规项目和 3 个试点项目（10 个化学项目、6 个生物学项目和 2 个数学项目）。这两个新项目旨在在以下领域开展竞争性研究：(1) 阿片成瘾及其在免疫抑制和传染病传播中的作用（Renaud 博士），以及 (2) 与细胞内蛋白质聚集相关的神经系统疾病（Vega 博士）。 这些调查将由正在进行的行政项目以及技术和支持人员（包括两名实验室技术员和一名博士后助理）来维持。这一增强的 SCORE 计划将为该机构提供一流的研究和开发机会以及充分支持的研究氛围，从而帮助参与的教师提高其生物医学研究生产力、科学竞争力和同行认可。该计划中的研究活动还增强了该机构现有的 MARC U*STAR 计划。每个新项目的具体目标和该计划的总体目标的进展情况将每年通过既定的评估计划进行评估。
