Fayetteville State University SCORE Program

描述(由申请人提供)：费耶特维尔州立大学(FSU)是北卡罗来纳大学的组成机构。作为一所历史悠久的黑人院校，FSU在卓越的教育方面拥有138年的丰富历史，也是北卡罗来纳州和全国最多元化的大学之一。FSU评分计划的目标是增强和扩大FSU的生物医学研究能力。这一目标的成功实现预计将通过增加从事生物医学研究的代表性不足的少数群体的数量来影响整个MBRS评分计划。为实现这一目标，提出了四个目标： 目标1：提高教职员工的科研生产力； 目的2：改善开展生物医学研究的设施； 目标3：与研究密集型机构的科学家建立联系； 目标4：定位机构以赢得外部研究资金。 FSU SCORE计划促进实现这些目标的活动包括：(1)为从事研究的教员提供释放时间，(2)扩大研究支持人员，(3)建立MBRS研究实验室，(4)建立外部分项目咨询委员会(ESAC)，以及(5)建立SCORE研究研讨会系列。 旨在评估FSU成绩目标和目的的绩效衡量标准包括：(1)每个受资助的子项目将在头两年内至少出版一份出版物，并在四年资助周期结束前至少出版4份出版物；(2)每名成绩教师每年至少在全国研究会议上发表一次研究报告；(3)MBRS研究实验室将在SCORE资助的头6个月内建立并发挥作用；(4)MBRS研究实验室将增加400平方英尺的研究空间；(5)在4年资助周期结束前，至少有两个受资助的子项目将发展为常规研究项目；(6)在资助周期结束时，授予自然科学系教师的新研究补助金数量将从每年2项增加到每年4项，增幅为100%。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fayetteville State University (FSU) is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina. As a historically Black institution with a rich 138-year history in excellence in education, FSU is also one of the most diverse universities in North Carolina and the nation. The goal of the FSU SCORE program is to enhance and expand biomedical research capability at FSU. Successful attainment of this goal is expected to impact the overall MBRS SCORE program by increasing the number of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical research. To achieve this goal, four objectives have been proposed: Objective 1: To increase the research productivity of faculty; Objective 2: To improve facilities for conducting biomedical research; Objective 3: To build connections with scientists at research-intensive institutions; Objective 4: To position the institution to win external research funding. Activities of the FSU SCORE Program that will facilitate achievement of these objectives include: (1) providing release time to faculty engaged in research, (2) expanding research supporting staff, (3) establishing an MBRS Research Laboratory, (4) establishing an External Subproject Advisory Committee (ESAC), and (5) instituting a SCORE Research Seminar Series. Performance measures designed to evaluate the achievement of the FSU SCORE goal and objectives include: (1) Each funded subproject will produce at least one publication within first two years and at least 4 publications in by the end of the four-year funding cycle; (2) Each SCORE faculty will give at least one research presentation at a national research conference each year; (3) The MBRS Research Laboratory will be established and functioning within the first 6 months of the SCORE funding; (4) The MBRS Research Laboratory will increase the research space by 400 square feet; (5) At least two of the funded subprojects will develop regular research projects by the end of the 4-year funding cycle; (6) The number of new research grants awarded to faculty of Department of Natural Sciences will increase 100% from 2 per year to 4 per year by the end of the funding period.
