Delaware State University (DSU), a historically Black university (HBCU), has been primarily a teaching institution for 100 years. Under the leadership of a new president, DSU is undergoing a rapid evolution from a liberal arts college to a full-service university offering doctoral degrees in the sciences. As part of this transition, the University is focused on enhancing the environment for biomedical research by developing the infrastructure for faculty research and student research training. The DSU SCORE program will provide needed infrastructure to remove barriers to faculty research productivity. The program will support renovation and upgrading of common research facilities including a radiation laboratory, tissue culture facilities, fluorescence imaging facility, and the multi-purpose biotechnology laboratory. These Core facilities house shared equipment and resources crucial to the research projects of DSU faculty. In addition to the infrastructure support, the SCORE program will support a SCORE program coordinator who will maintain the common facilities and equipment, assist faculty with ordering equipment and supplies and tracking the orders, maintain service contracts and records, and assist in managing hazardous waste disposal for SCORE investigators. By reducing the administrative burden on SCORE investigators, the SCORE program coordinator will be indispensable for increasing their research productivity. The SCORE program also will support ten biomedical research projects by an interdisciplinary group of faculty from the Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science departments. SCORE support for these investigators will allow them to develop research programs that will provide research training for both undergraduate and graduate students, and successfully compete for independent grant funding.

特拉华州立大学(DSU)是一所历史悠久的黑人大学(HBCU)，100年来一直是一个教学机构。在新校长的领导下，密歇根州立大学正在从一所文科学院迅速演变为一所提供理科博士学位的全方位服务大学。作为这一过渡的一部分，该大学致力于通过发展教师研究和学生研究培训的基础设施来改善生物医学研究的环境。 得克萨斯州立大学的评分计划将提供必要的基础设施，以消除教师研究生产率的障碍。该计划将支持包括辐射实验室、组织培养设施、荧光成像设施和多功能生物技术实验室在内的公共研究设施的改造和升级。这些核心设施容纳了对密歇根州立大学教职员工的研究项目至关重要的共享设备和资源。除了基础设施支持外，SCORE项目还将支持一名SCORE项目协调员，该协调员将维护公共设施和设备，协助教职员工订购设备和用品并跟踪订单，维护服务合同和记录，并协助管理SCORE调查人员的危险废物处置。通过减轻SCORE调查人员的行政负担，SCORE项目协调员对于提高他们的研究效率将是不可或缺的。SCORE计划还将支持生物、化学、数学和计算机科学系的一个跨学科教员小组进行的10个生物医学研究项目。对这些研究人员的分数支持将使他们能够开发研究项目，为本科生和研究生提供研究培训，并成功竞争独立拨款。
