MBRS SCORE at San Francisco State University

这项竞争性续签申请的目的是促进旧金山州立大学(SFSU)的长期目标，即提高其从事生物医学研究的教师的生产率和能力，并显著增加从事和追求生物医学职业的少数族裔教师和学生的数量。自1995年以来，旧金山州立大学得到了MBRS项目的支持，在这种支持下，该项目已从4个教员项目发展到18个教员项目。在目前的获奖期间，SCORE教职员工和他们的学生在研究会议上发表了120多篇报告，并在领先的同行评议期刊上发表或准备了40多篇论文，这些论文由80多名学生共同撰写。同样重要的是，SCORE项目作为一种教师招聘工具发挥了作用，吸引了顶尖的生物医学研究人员加入我们的教师队伍，其中包括过去3年中的8名，其中50%是少数族裔科学家。我们SCORE项目的持续资助将使SFSU能够支持由三类教员开展的16个子项目和两个试点项目：他们是刚刚开始在SFSU的职业生涯，因此是SFSU生物医学研究项目的未来；那些正在从助理教授级别过渡到副教授级别并有望成为SFSU生物医学研究事业领导者的教师；以及正在从其他相关研究领域过渡到生物医学研究并有潜力加强和丰富SFSU生物医学研究事业的教职员工。在下一个获奖期内，SFSU预计其资深Score成员竞争R01资金的能力将取得重大突破，并预计MBRS Score计划将成为其新教师成功过渡到类似水平的研究生产力的既定机制。同样重要的是，随着SCORE子项目范围的扩大，南加州大学本科生和研究生将有更丰富的研究项目可供参与。方案主任将直接建议和监测所有SCORE分项目的进展情况，并将与咨询委员会协商管理方案。外部科学咨询委员会将通过就研究项目的科学重点和进展情况提供咨询意见，协助个别调查人员。来自旧金山州立大学公共研究所的外部评估员将对Score计划进行全面评估。

The goal of this competitive renewal application is to further San Francisco State University's (SFSU) long-term objective to increase the productivity and caliber of its faculty conducting biomedical research and to significantly increase the number of minority faculty and students engaged in and pursuing biomedical careers. SFSU has received support from the MBRS program since 1995, and with this support, its program has evolved from 4 faculty projects to 18. During the present award period, SCORE faculty and their students have made more than 120 presentations at research conferences and have published or have in preparation over 40 papers, co-authored by more than 80 students, in leading peer-reviewed journals. As importantly, the SCORE program has functioned as a faculty recruitment tool, attracting top-notch biomedical researchers to our faculty, including eight over the past 3 years, 50% of whom are minority scientists. Continued funding of our SCORE program will allow SFSU to support 16 subprojects and two pilot projects conducted by three categories of faculty: those who are just beginning their careers at SFSU and thus are the future of SFSU's biomedical research program; those who are transitioning from, or have recently transitioned from Assistant to Associate Professor level and who are positioned to become the leaders of SFSU's biomedical research enterprise; and faculty who are transitioning into biomedical research from other, related research areas, and have the potential to enhance and enrich the biomedical research enterprise at SFSU. During this next award period, SFSU anticipates a major breakthrough in the ability of its senior SCORE members to compete for R01 funding, and expects that the MBRS SCORE program will become an established mechanism by which its new faculty can transition successfully to a similar level of research productivity. As importantly, with the expanded breadth of SCORE subprojects, SFSU undergraduate and graduate students will have a richer array of research projects in which participate. The Program Director will directly advise and monitor the progress of all SCORE subprojects and will administer the program in consultation with the Advisory Committee. An External Scientific Advisory Committee will assist the individual investigators by providing advice on the scientific focus and progress of research projects. A comprehensive evaluation of the SCORE program will be conducted by external evaluators from SFSU's Public Research Institute.
