项目摘要

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 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 (i) to increase the number of junior faculty engaged in biomedical research, and (ii) 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 fourteen 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.

芝加哥州立大学(CSU)位于芝加哥南部，是一所文科公立大学以非洲裔美国人为主的学生群体。加州州立大学为黑人学生提供的服务比例最高在伊利诺伊州-印第安纳州-爱荷华州-威斯康星州毗连的四州地区的所有公立大学中，产生了最多的黑人学士学位获得者。作为一所城市综合性大学， CSU既面临着机遇，也面临着培养大多数从小长大的学生的挑战在校园方圆十英里的范围内接受教育，都是经济上处于不利地位的人的产物背景，而且往往是高中教育，还没有为大学水平的工作做好准备。 CSU MBRS评分计划是对NIH倡议的回应，旨在显著改进研究少数群体和为少数群体服务的机构的能力，以满足增加进入生物医学博士生项目的少数民族学生数量。量化的 CSU MBRS计分计划的目标是：(I)增加初级教员的人数生物医学研究，以及(Ii)增加CSU生物医学研究出版物的数量教职员工。该计划的质量目标是在CSU创造一个研究环境，激励教职员工从事发现研究，并以身作则鼓励学生指导他们的职业目标是生物医学研究领域的领导职位。 CSU项目围绕教师主导的生物和化学研究项目来组织活动。目前的计划包括八个由研究人员发起的研究项目，除一个项目外，所有项目都由在过去四年内受聘的初级教员。这项新的申请提议增加在支持的项目数上增加到14个项目和1个试点项目。这笔资金的增加探索研究将为少数族裔学生提供更多的培训机会，从而影响进入生物医学研究领域的非裔美国人的数量。
