DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomedical Research Program at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) is multidisciplinary in nature and involves 4 subprojects and 1 pilot project. The areas of research encompass many disciplines including: biochemistry, molecular biology, neurogenic communication disorders, organometallic chemistry, and speech pathology. One of the priorities of the SCORE Program is to assist in shifting the focus at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) from a primarily instructional institution to an institution with a more rigorous research component. It is our intent to substantially increase biomedical research activity at UDC, thus having it complement our effectively implemented teaching component. A second priority of this grant is to strengthen the research infrastructure at the University, which will subsequently increase the likelihood that junior faculty members will pursue research activities and also increase research productivity of those currently engaged in these activities. To this end, the SCORE Program will specifically: (1) encourage new hires and current faculty at the University to participate in the SCORE Program; (2) upgrade and fine-tune the skills of the faculty through involvement in basic research, interactions at scientific meetings and collaborations with other investigators; (3) strengthen the research capabilities of investigators by providing state-of-the-art equipment and supplies; (4) provide release time that will allow faculty sufficient time to do cutting edge research in a non-research intensive institution and (5) assist faculty in fulfilling the University goals on research, and also increase research productivity of those currently engaged in these activities. It is anticipated that as a result of the SCORE Program: (1) the number of SCORE participants will increase by 30%; (2) the number of publications by SCORE participants will increase by 15%; (3) the number of SCORE faculty participants giving presentations will be maintained at 100%; and (4) the percentage of collaborations by SCORE faculty participants with leading authorities in their field will increase by 25%. Achievement of these goals will increase the research visibility of UDC both at the national and international levels.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区大学（UDC）的生物医学研究项目是多学科性质的，包括4个子项目和1个试点项目。研究领域包括许多学科，包括：生物化学，分子生物学，神经源性交流障碍，有机金属化学和语言病理学。 SCORE计划的优先事项之一是协助将哥伦比亚特区大学（UDC）的重点从主要的教学机构转移到具有更严格的研究组成部分的机构。这是我们的目的，以大幅增加生物医学研究活动在UDC，从而使它补充我们有效实施的教学组成部分。这笔赠款的第二个优先事项是加强大学的研究基础设施，这将随后增加初级教师从事研究活动的可能性，并提高目前从事这些活动的人员的研究生产力。 为此，SCORE计划将具体：（1）鼓励大学的新员工和现有教师参加SCORE计划;（2）通过参与基础研究，科学会议上的互动以及与其他研究人员的合作来升级和微调教师的技能;（3）通过提供最先进的设备和用品来加强研究人员的研究能力;（4）提供释放时间，使教师有足够的时间在非研究密集型机构做前沿研究和（5）协助教师实现大学的研究目标，并提高目前从事这些活动的人员的研究生产力。 预计SCORE计划的结果是：（1）SCORE参与者的数量将增加30%;（2）SCORE参与者的出版物数量将增加15%;（3）SCORE教师参与演讲的数量将保持在100%;（4）SCORE教师参与者与其领域领先权威的合作比例将增加25%。这些目标的实现将提高UDC在国家和国际层面的研究知名度。
