DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for a SCORE Institutional Development Award (S06) from New Mexico State University at Las Cruces, designed to improve the institutional research environment and enhance the capacity of faculty researchers to conduct competitive biomedical research. The proposed S06 SCORE project has 4 major goals and 10 objectives. Goal 1 is to formulate and implement institutional changes in research fiscal administration based on a recently completed, comprehensive survey study of the research environment at NMSU. The objectives of this goal are to develop initiatives within select institutional offices through the Vice President for Research that reduce the time required for incipient processing of new grant awards; reduce the time required to authorize purchase orders for research supplies; develop personnel hiring mechanisms for externally funded research projects that require 30 days or less; and seek and implement solutions to a myriad of intrusive administrative fiscal practices that impede research progress. Some of these practices relate to the PI's authority to initiate purchase orders, adoption of local authorities approved by NIH, and close-out of budget year expenditures. Goal 2 is to support and expand the research services and instrumentation available in a shared, core instrumentation facility which provides analytical services required by the investigators of SC1, SC2, SC3 (abbreviated SCn) SCORE grants. The objectives of this goal are to conduct activities that maintain support for a core facility laboratory and manager/ operator, who provides valuable services for PIs of SCORE SCn grants. Goal 3 is to sponsor workshops and external speaker seminars, provide access to tutorials, and provide services which inform and train SCn SCORE grant awardees to transition to non-SCORE external sources of research funding. The objectives of this goal are to arrange annual on-site workshops for training SCn grantees for submission of NIH R01 applications; to transition half of the SCn grant recipients of the SCORE Program at NMSU out of SCORE support within the next 4 years; and to increase the percentage of SCORE-supported PIs who submit R01 research grant applications from the current baseline of 41% to 80%. Goal 4 is to conduct an annual evaluation of the impact of individual investigator-initiated SCn grants on the overall status of the biomedical research capacity of the institution and its impact on the missions of existing NIH-MORE programs at NMSU. The objective of this goal is to maintain databases from which to gauge the status of the institutional capacity to conduct biomedical research and its capacity to advance URM scientists to completion of Ph.D. degrees under the new SCn grants format.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是拉斯克鲁塞斯的新墨西哥州州立大学的SCORE机构发展奖（S06）的申请，旨在改善机构研究环境，提高教师研究人员进行有竞争力的生物医学研究的能力。建议的S06 SCORE项目有4个主要目标和10个目标。 目标1是根据最近完成的对NMSU研究环境的全面调查研究，制定和实施研究财政管理的制度变革。这一目标的目的是，通过主管研究的副总裁在选定的机构办公室内制订倡议，减少初期处理新赠款所需的时间;减少批准研究用品定购单所需的时间;为需要30天或更短时间的外部供资研究项目制订人员雇用机制;并寻求和实施解决方案，以解决阻碍研究进展的各种侵入性行政财政做法。其中一些做法涉及PI的权力，以启动采购订单，通过由NIH批准的地方当局，并关闭了预算年度的支出。 目标2是支持和扩大研究服务和仪器在一个共享的，核心的仪器设施，提供SC1，SC2，SC3（简称SCn）SCORE赠款的研究人员所需的分析服务。该目标的目的是开展活动，维持对核心设施实验室和管理者/操作者的支持，他们为SCORE SCn赠款的PI提供有价值的服务。 目标3是赞助研讨会和外部演讲者研讨会，提供教程，并提供服务，告知和培训SCn SCORE资助获奖者过渡到非SCORE外部研究资金来源。这一目标的目标是安排年度现场研讨会，培训SCn受资助者提交NIH R01申请;在未来4年内，将NMSU SCORE计划的SCn资助者中的一半从SCORE支持中转移出来;并将提交R01研究资助申请的SCORE支持的PI的百分比从目前的41%提高到80%。 目标4是进行一个年度评估的影响，个人发起的SCN赠款对该机构的生物医学研究能力的整体状况，其对现有的NIH-MORE计划在NMSU的任务的影响。这一目标的目的是维护数据库，以衡量进行生物医学研究的机构能力及其推动URM科学家完成博士学位的能力。在新的SCn补助金格式下获得学位。
