DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, Fresno (CSU-Fresno) established an MBRS-SCORE program in June 2000 to strengthen its biomedical research infrastructure so that more clientele from its service area can engage in research careers. The specific goal of the CSU-Fresno program is to make the institution, and in particular its faculty, more competitive in their efforts to build successful and sustainable research programs. The renewed SCORE program presently consists of a single funded research project, i.e., studies on the molecular microbiology of tuberculosis, conducted by a Biology Department faculty member. This proposal presents four supplemental projects to expand the program and to assist in meeting its specific objectives. These four projects, all submitted by recently hired assistant professors from three departments in two university colleges, would diversify the program with three projects from the behavioral sciences, i.e. one on human speech perception, one on infant sleep behavior, and one on choice behavior in animal model organisms, and a fourth from a biologist conducting physiological studies on hormones related to obesity and diabetes. Each of these four faculty members has a strong research record and a demonstrated interest in educating biomedical/behavioral research students. Inclusion of these projects in the SCORE program would greatly assist in meeting the specific objectives of elevated targets for publication, presentation, and grant submission/funding by faculty members in departments with SCORE funding and would also help meet objectives for broadening the program and attracting larger numbers of student researchers. With the limited scope of our recently renewed SCORE program and the limited NIH research funding available at the time, the current program received no administrative funding award. A modest request for administrative support is included in this proposal to strengthen the development and faculty mentoring capabilities of the program and to provide support for maintaining direct contact with NIH staff and the national network of SCORE programs.

描述(由申请人提供)：加州州立大学弗雷斯诺分校(CSU-Fresno)于2000年6月建立了MBRS-SCORE计划，以加强其生物医学研究基础设施，使其服务领域的更多客户能够从事研究事业。CSU-Fresno项目的具体目标是使该机构，特别是其教职员工，在努力建立成功和可持续的研究项目方面更具竞争力。更新的SCORE计划目前由一个单一资助的研究项目组成，即由生物系教员进行的结核病分子微生物学研究。该提案提出了四个补充项目，以扩大该方案并协助实现其具体目标。这四个项目都是由最近从两所大学学院的三个系招聘的助理教授提交的，将使项目多样化，行为科学的三个项目，即一个关于人类言语感知，一个关于婴儿睡眠行为，一个关于动物模型生物的选择行为，第四个项目来自一名生物学家，该生物学家从事与肥胖和糖尿病相关的激素的生理研究。这四名教员都有良好的研究记录，并对培养生物医学/行为研究学生表现出浓厚的兴趣。将这些项目纳入SCORE计划将极大地帮助实现提高目标的具体目标，提高由有SCORE资助的部门的教职员工的出版、演示和拨款提交/资助，也将有助于实现扩大计划范围和吸引更多学生研究人员的目标。由于我们最近更新的SCORE计划的范围有限，而且当时NIH可用的研究资金有限，目前的计划没有获得行政资金奖励。这项提案中包含了对行政支持的适度要求，以加强该计划的发展和教师指导能力，并为保持与NIH工作人员和全国SCORE计划网络的直接联系提供支持。
