DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for a continuing SCORE Program at New Mexico State University (NMSU), Las Cruces. A goal of NMSU is to expand research at the institution for participation by ethnic minority students who desire to pursue careers in the biomedical science disciplines. The proposed SCORE Program has as its goals: (i) To transition, within the next four years, 74% of the investigators of regular SCORE subprojects in this application to competition for R01 funding from NIH. (ii) To enhance within the next four years, the publication records of all investigators of SCORE subprojects, who are in their second cycle of funding, to a minimum of 33% more research manuscripts per year in peer-reviewed, refereed journals. (iii) To significantly improve the capabilities of NMSU to conduct biomedically-relevant research through development of core research facilities. (iv) To improve the capacity of NMSU to self-evaluate, assess, and monitor the SCORE Program for the purpose of institutional self-study, program review, support of MORE Program missions, and internal improvement of research management. This application contains research proposals for nineteen research subprojects and three pilot subprojects. Disciplines represented among these proposals include Agronomy, Animal Science, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Psychology. The research topics of proposed projects include: mitosis and cytokinesis in animal cells, sensory organogenesis during inner ear development, genomic interactions of the growth hormone axis and leptin, pathogenicity in symbiotic vibrios, transcription factors in myogenic cells of electric fish, translational control of hepatitis C virus, adaptations of pigeons and rats to hypoxia, transmission of the pathogen, Cryptosporidium parvum, bacteriocide tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus, regulation of glutamine synthetase, programmed cell death studied by RNAi, electric and mechanical properties of bio-macromolecules, metal ion chelators for biomedical applications, high-valence iron complexes as models for non-heme iron proteins, chemical synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals, transcription regulation of secondary metabolism, organic synthesis of novel heterocyclic and aromatic compounds, transcriptional profiling of drought and salt tolerance in plants, selective binding of enantiomers by clays, and infant learning gauged by cortisol and behavioral synchrony. This SCORE Program will continue a 29-year MBRS Program which has advanced 351 minority students (approximately 81% of B.S.-graduated participants) to post-baccalaureate training, 72 earning Ph.D. degrees, since 1974.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请Las Cruces新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）持续SCORE项目的申请。新密西根州立大学的一个目标是扩大该机构的研究，以便希望从事生物医学科学学科的少数民族学生参与。拟议的SCORE计划的目标是：(i)在未来四年内，将本申请中74%的常规SCORE子项目的研究人员转移到NIH的R01资助竞争中。（ii）在未来四年内，将所有SCORE子项目的研究人员在其第二个资助周期内的发表记录，每年在同行评审和参考期刊上的研究手稿至少增加33%。（三）通过发展核心研究设施，显著提高新国立生物医学大学开展生物医学相关研究的能力。（iv）提高新密西根州立大学自我评估、评估和监督SCORE计划的能力，以实现机构自我学习、计划审查、支持MORE计划任务和内部研究管理的改进。
