MBRS SCORE Program at Morehouse College

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一个新的竞争申请MBRS分数资金，以支持莫尔豪斯学院的生物医学研究活动。莫尔豪斯的MBRS评分计划的总体目标与学院的一个目标是一致的，即提高教职员工进行研究的能力，以加强学生教育。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职员工和学生数量。该学院历来强调教职员工和学生在学术方面的卓越表现，并致力于支持和鼓励教职员工和学生参与学术活动。MBRS SCORE计划的资金将为学院的四名初级教员提供必要的支持，以便在学院建立具有竞争力的研究计划，从而显著提高学院的生物医学研究能力。四名年轻研究人员中的三名最近加入了埃默里大学NIH支持的研究和科学教学联谊会(First)项目的教职员工。 MBRS计划的可衡量目标将是在供资期间增加：(1)在专业学会会议上的发言次数；(2)同行评审的出版物数量；(3)参与部门和科学和数学司内由研究人员发起的研究补助金的数量。该项目的教师与研究密集型机构的研究人员之间的合作将提供关于科学重点的建议。个别项目的进展将由项目主任监督，并与咨询委员会协商进行管理。项目主任将负责将每个项目的进展情况传达给科学和数学系主任。整个计划将由一名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.
