Hunter Institutional Development Program (SCORE)

描述(由申请者提供)：亨特学院将建立一个成绩机构发展计划，以改善研究环境，并增强教职员工进行竞争性生物医学和行为研究的能力。AIMS基于之前SCORE基金的成功活动和对理科教师需求的调查。提交赠款和颁奖的效率将会提高。计分办公室将提供各种倡议，以帮助教师申请和获得研究补助金。具体举措将侧重于不同发展水平的教师，包括新教师、初级教师和高级教师。所有教师，以及SC1、SC2和SC3分数PI，将被协助申请适当的SCORE或CUNY范围内、州、联邦或基金会的拨款。寻求增加赠款申请的数量和申请的成功率。将启动提高教师沟通能力的计划，包括提供一名编辑审阅手稿，并每年为教师举办一次研讨会，以展示研究成果。各种外部团体举办的赠款写作讲习班将支持赠款写作技能的提高。在赠款撰写和评论方面的持续帮助将由持有R01补助金的资深亨特学院提供。将寻求增加大学和城市大学范围内的合作，以便在城市大学和/或联邦机构提供的多学科研究或设备赠款方面更具竞争力。与以前的成绩拨款一样，来自不同系但具有共同研究兴趣的教职员工小组将被组成：研究兴趣小组(RIG)。教职员工将分享和讨论成果，邀请杰出的演讲者，并参加一年一度的科学研讨会。这些平台将成为建立初级和高级教职员工指导关系的场所，以帮助撰写论文和撰写助学金。此外，计分办公室将与其他计分办公室和教席协调，让纽约州立大学其他学院的教师参与进来，以便申请合作助学金。最后，SCORE将建立/升级在线数据库，用于监测教师研究生产率和跟踪研究生项目，这是许多拨款申请所必需的。总之，提出了四个具体的目标/倡议，以改善亨特学院的研究环境，并提高其教职员工的研究效率。每项倡议都有具体的目标和可衡量的目标，并提供了评估计划。此外，还规定了将这些目标制度化的时间表。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hunter College will establish a SCORE Institutional Development Program to improve the research environment and provide an enhanced ability of the faculty to conduct competitive biomedical and behavioral research. Aims are based on successful activities of previous SCORE funding and from surveying the needs of science faculty. Productivity in grant submissions and awards will be increased. The SCORE Office will provide a variety of initiatives to assist faculty to apply for and obtain research grants. Specific initiatives will focus on faculty at different levels of development including new, junior and senior faculty. All faculty, as well as SC1, SC2 and SC3 SCORE PIs, will be assisted to apply to appropriate SCORE or CUNY-wide, state, federal or foundation grants. Increases in both the number of grant applications and the success rate of applications are sought. Programs to enhance faculty communication skills will be initiated and include providing an editor to review manuscripts and sponsoring a yearly symposium for faculty to present research results. Improvements in grant writing skills will be supported by grant writing workshops by various outside groups. On-going help in grant writing and critiquing will be provided by senior Hunter Faculty who hold R01 grants. Increases in college- and CUNY-wide collaborations will be sought in order to become competitive for multi-disciplinary research or equipment grants from CUNY and/or federal agencies. As in previous SCORE grant, groups of faculty from different departments, but with common research interests, will be formed: Research Interest Groups (RIGs). Faculty will share and discuss results, invite outstanding speakers and participate in a yearly science symposium. The RIGs will be the site for establishing junior-senior faculty mentoring relationships for assistance in paper and grant writing. Further, the SCORE office will co-ordinate with other SCORE PDs and chairs to involve faculty at other CUNY colleges in order to apply for collaborative grants. Finally, SCORE will establish/upgrade on-line data-bases for monitoring faculty research productivity and tracking graduate student programs which are necessary for many grant applications. In summary, four specific aims/initiatives are presented to improve the research environment at Hunter College and to enhance the research productivity of its faculty. Each initiative has specific goals and measurable objectives, and an evaluation plan is provided. In addition, time-lines for institutionalization of the aims are provided.
