MBRS SCORE Program at Morehouse College

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个新的MBRS SCORE资助的竞争申请，以支持莫尔豪斯学院的生物医学研究活动。在莫尔豪斯MBRS SCORE计划的总体目标是与学院的目标一致，以提高教师做研究，以加强学生教育的能力。SCORE计划的长期目标是显著增加学院从事生物医学研究的教师和学生人数。学院传统上强调其教师和学生之间的优秀奖学金，并致力于支持和鼓励教师和学生参与学术活动。来自MBRS SCORE计划的资金将通过为四名初级教师提供必要的支持来显着提高学院的生物医学研究能力，以在学院建立一个有竞争力的研究项目。四名年轻的研究人员中有三名最近加入了埃默里大学NIH支持的研究和科学教学奖学金（FIRST）项目。 MBRS计划的可衡量目标将在资助期内增加：（1）专业协会会议上的演讲数量;（2）同行评审出版物的数量;（3）参与部门和科学与数学部门内的赞助商发起的研究赠款数量。该计划的教师与研究密集型机构的研究人员之间的合作将为科学重点提供建议。个别项目的进展将由项目主任监督，并与咨询委员会协商管理。项目主任将负责向科学和数学系主任传达每个项目的进展情况。整个计划将由外部评估员进行评估。

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.
