DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Brooklyn College of the City University of New York is a large, diverse urban campus with just under 50% minority students. The college has an enrollment of ~11,000 undergraduates and ~4,500 master's students. We also participate in doctoral training with highly regarded on-campus doctoral programs in the sciences as part of the Graduate Center of CUNY. The College values teaching and has a strong record of sending a diverse group of students on for research doctorates. Our faculty members mentor several hundred students a year, including many underrepresented minority students, in laboratory-based research. The College has designated 3 biomedical research faculty to take part in this supplemental application. The project will allow SCORE participants to increase their research capabilities and productivity and to contribute fully to strengthening the institution's research culture and reputation. The overall goals of the project are: (1) to increase SCORE faculty research productivity by adding to the number of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students working in SCORE-supported research labs; by increasing the research infrastructure by adding key laboratory equipment, a bioinformatics/ modeling facility and replacing an old and unreliable cage washer; and fostering increased collaboration with investigators with both Brooklyn College faculty and with external scientists; (2) to increase research competitiveness of SCORE faculty by increasing the number of refereed publications submitted and published, of presentations given at national conferences, and of external grant submissions and awards; by bringing a number of prominent scientists to campus to present their work and discuss research issues with SCORE faculty; and by providing faculty development workshops on skills that successful research scientists need to master to be productive and successful as they balance research, teaching, mentoring, publishing, and service to the college community; (3) to increase the number of minority faculty at the College involved in biomedical research by developing a detailed and proactive plan for diversity science hiring efforts in conjunction with our administration, our departmental hiring committees, and an external advisory committee. The College President has agreed to set a target of hiring one minority science faculty member a year for the four years of the SCORE project.

描述(由申请者提供)：纽约市立大学布鲁克林学院是一个大型、多元化的城市校园，只有不到50%的少数族裔学生。该学院在校本科生约11,000人，硕士研究生约4,500人。作为CUNY研究生中心的一部分，我们还参与了备受推崇的校园科学博士项目的博士培训。该学院重视教学，并有将不同群体的学生送去攻读研究型博士学位的良好记录。我们的教职员工每年指导数百名学生，其中包括许多在实验室进行研究的未被充分代表的少数族裔学生。学院已指定3名生物医学研究人员参加这项补充申请。该项目将使SCORE参与者能够提高他们的研究能力和生产力，并为加强该机构的研究文化和声誉做出充分贡献。 该项目的总体目标是：(1)通过增加在分数支持的研究实验室工作的博士后研究员、研究生和本科生的数量来提高成绩教师的研究效率；通过增加关键的实验室设备、生物信息学/建模设施和更换旧的和不可靠的笼式垫圈来增加研究基础设施；以及促进与布鲁克林学院教职员工和外部科学家的合作；(2)通过增加提交和出版的参考出版物、在全国会议上发表的演讲以及外部拨款和奖励来提高分数教师的研究竞争力；通过邀请一些杰出的科学家到校园介绍他们的工作并与SCORE教员讨论研究问题；以及通过提供教员发展研讨会，介绍成功的研究科学家在平衡研究、教学、指导、出版和对学院社区的服务时所需掌握的技能；(3)通过与我们的行政部门、我们的院系招聘委员会和外部咨询委员会一起制定详细和积极的多样性科学招聘工作计划，增加学院从事生物医学研究的少数族裔教员的数量。学院校长已经同意设定一个目标，在SCORE项目的四年时间里，每年雇佣一名少数民族理科教员。
