DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Located on the south-side of Chicago, Chicago State University (CSU) is a liberal arts, public institution with a predominantly African-American student body. CSU serves the highest proportion of Black students of all public universities in the Illinois-lndiana-lowa-Wisconsin contiguous four-state region where it produces the largest number of Black baccalaureate degree recipients. As an urban comprehensive university, CSU faces both the opportunity and the challenge of educating students who are mostly raised and educated within a ten-mile radius of the campus and are products of both an economically disadvantaged background and often a high school education which has not prepared them for college-level work. The CSU MBRS SCORE program is a response to the NIH initiative to improve significantly the research capabilities of minority and minority-serving institutions as a means to address the need to increase the numbers of minority students entering doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. The quantitative goals of the CSU MBRS SCORE program are (1) to increase the number of junior faculty engaged in biomedical research, and (2) to increase the number of biomedical research publications from CSU teaching faculty. The qualitative goal of the Program is to create a research environment at CSU which stimulates faculty to engage in discovery research and which, by example, encourages students to direct their career goals to leadership positions in biomedical research. The CSU program organizes its activities around faculty-led research projects in biology and chemistry. The current Program consists of eight investigator-initiated research projects of which all but one is led by junior faculty who have been hired within the past four years. This new application proposes an increase in the number of projects supported to 14 projects and one pilot project. This increase in funded discovery research will provide additional training opportunities for minority students and will thereby impact the number of African-Americans entering careers in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 芝加哥州立大学 (CSU) 位于芝加哥南部，是一所文科公立机构，学生群体主要是非裔美国学生。在伊利诺伊州-印第安纳州-洛瓦州-威斯康星州毗邻的四个州地区的所有公立大学中，科罗拉多州立大学的黑人学生比例最高，该地区培养的黑人学士学位获得者数量最多。作为一所城市综合性大学，科罗拉多州立大学面临着教育的机遇和挑战，这些学生大多是在校园半径十英里内长大和接受教育的，他们是经济弱势背景的产物，而且往往高中教育并没有为他们进入大学水平的工作做好准备。 科罗拉多州立大学 MBRS SCORE 项目是对 NIH 倡议的回应，该倡议旨在显着提高少数族裔和少数族裔服务机构的研究能力，以此满足增加进入生物医学科学博士项目的少数族裔学生数量的需求。科罗拉多州立大学 MBRS SCORE 计划的量化目标是 (1) 增加从事生物医学研究的初级教师数量，以及 (2) 增加科罗拉多州立大学教学人员发表生物医学研究出版物的数量。该计划的定性目标是在科罗拉多州立大学创造一个研究环境，激励教师参与发现研究，并以身作则，鼓励学生将其职业目标导向生物医学研究的领导职位。 科罗拉多州立大学项目围绕教师主导的生物学和化学研究项目组织活动。目前的计划由八个研究者发起的研究项目组成，其中除一个外，所有项目均由过去四年内聘用的初级教师领导。这项新申请提议将支持的项目数量增加至 14 个项目和 1 个试点项目。资助发现研究的增加将为少数族裔学生提供额外的培训机会，从而影响进入生物医学研究职业的非裔美国人数量。
