DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) established an MBRS (Minority Biomedical Research Support) Support of Continuous Research Excellence (SCORE) program on its campus in the fall of 2001. With a competitive renewal (09/01/05), we currently have nine faculty members as principal investigators. We now propose to add an additional 12 faculty members as research investigators (6 regular and 6 pilot projects) in a supplemental application to our parent grant. By doing so, we will further meet our goals to increase the research capabilities of faculty members within the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Psychology and to provide the infrastructure necessary to support highly productive and competitive research. Goal 1 is to increase research skills and capabilities as well as productivity of participating faculty members so they will be more competitive for R01 or equivalent grants. Specific measurable objectives for the PIs on the supplemental grant will include: (1) 50% of continuing SCORE PIs will have at least one manusript accepted for publication by the end of year 2 and 75% will have at least two publications total by the end of the grant (year 3); 80% of new PIs will have at least one publication accepted by the end of the grant; (2) 100% of PIs will submit grant applications on the next SCORE competitive renewal application as regular research projects; and (3) 80% of PIs will present their research at national/international scientific meetings each year. Goal 2 is to increase institutional infrastructure to support and maintain research needs of faculty at a higher level. Informal studies (focus groups and surveys) will be conducted to determine how successfully the recommendations from the prior SCORE grant self-study have been implemented. Goal 3 is to increase community building among reseachers by holding at least four events each year for PIs to discuss research as well as issues and solutions to them. The proposed projects cover a wide range of biomedical and behavioral research, both in basic and applied areas. Provided the needed time, resources, and institutional support to carry out research, participants will become more productive and competitive for mainstream grants. This will significantly strengthen research, promote involvement of other faculty members at a higher level of research, and in line with NIH goals, provide expanded opportunities for underrepresented minorities in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学长滩分校（CSULB）于2001年秋季在校园内设立了MBRS（少数民族生物医学研究支持）持续卓越研究（SCORE）项目。随着竞争更新（2005年9月1日），我们目前有9名教师担任主要研究人员。我们现在建议增加12名教师作为研究人员（6名常规项目和6名试点项目），以补充申请我们的家长资助。通过这样做，我们将进一步实现我们的目标，即提高生物科学系、化学与生物化学系和心理学系教员的研究能力，并提供必要的基础设施，以支持高效和有竞争力的研究。目标1是提高参与教师的研究技能和能力以及生产力，使他们在R01或同等资助中更具竞争力。补充资助项目项目的具体可衡量目标将包括：(1)50%的持续SCORE项目项目在第二年末至少有一篇论文被接受发表，75%的项目项目在资助结束（第三年）时至少有两篇论文发表；到资助结束时，80%的新pi将至少有一篇论文被接受；(2) 100%的pi将在下一次SCORE竞争性续期申请中作为常规研究项目提交资助申请；(3) 80%的pi每年将在国家/国际科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。目标二是增加机构基础设施，以支持和维持教师在更高水平上的研究需求。将进行非正式研究（焦点小组和调查），以确定以前的SCORE补助金自学研究的建议是否成功实施。目标3是通过每年至少举办四次活动，让pi讨论研究以及问题和解决方案，增加研究人员之间的社区建设。
