MBRS SCORE Program at Morehouse College

描述（由申请人提供）：这是MBRS SCORE资助的一项新的竞争性申请，用于支持莫尔豪斯学院的生物医学研究活动。莫尔豪斯大学MBRS SCORE项目的总体目标与学院的目标一致，即提高教师的研究能力，以提高学生的教育水平。SCORE计划的长期目标将是显著增加学院从事生物医学研究的教师和学生的数量。学院传统上强调教师和学生的卓越奖学金，并致力于支持和鼓励教师和学生参与学术活动。来自MBRS SCORE项目的资金将显著提高学院的生物医学研究能力，为四名初级教员提供必要的支持，以在学院建立一个有竞争力的研究项目。四位年轻的研究人员中有三位最近加入了美国国立卫生研究院支持的埃默里大学研究与科学教学奖学金（FIRST）项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new competing application for MBRS SCORE funding to support biomedical research activity at Morehouse College. The overall goal of the MBRS SCORE program at Morehouse is consistent with a goal of the College, to increase the capacity of the faculty to do research in order to enhance student education. The long-term goals of the SCORE program will be to significantly increase the number of faculty and students engaged in biomedical research at the College. The College has traditionally emphasized excellence in scholarship among its faculty and students and is committed to supporting and encouraging faculty and student participation in scholarly activity. Funding from the MBRS SCORE program will significantly increase biomedical research capacity at the College by providing the necessary support for four junior faculty members to establish a competitive research program at the College. Three of the four young investigators recently joined the faculty from the NIH-supported Fellowship in Research and Science Teaching (FIRST) program at Emory University. The measurable objectives of the MBRS program will be to increase over the funding period: (1) the number of presentations at professional society meetings; (2) the number of peer-reviewed publications; and (3) the number of investigator-initiated research grants from the participating departments and within the Division of Science and Mathematics. Collaborations between the faculty in this program with investigators at research-intensive institutions will provide advice on the scientific focus. Progress of the individual projects will be monitored by the program director and managed in consultation with an advisory committee. The program director will be responsible for communicating progress of each project to the Dean of the Division of Science and Mathematics. The overall program will be evaluated by an external evaluator.
