MBRS SCORE Program at CA State University, Long Beach

加州州立大学长滩分校（CSULB）提议在其校园内建立一个MBRS（少数民族生物医学研究支持）持续卓越研究支持（SCORE）计划。这将与MBRS科学增强研究计划（RISE）计划一起完成，并将以其自1987年以来在CSULB持续存在的MBRS副研究员计划的经验为基础。具体来说，我们建议提高化学/生物化学和生物科学系教师的研究能力，并提供必要的基础设施，以支持高效和有竞争力的研究。目标1：提高参与教师的研究技能和能力以及生产力，使他们在获得R01或同等资助时不再具有竞争力。具体的可衡量目标将包括：1)提高出版率（50%的稿件在第2年被接受，100%的稿件在第3年至少有一篇稿件被接受，75%的稿件在第4年被接受），以及2)50%的参与教师将在拟议的资助期间撰写并提交RO1或同等放大。目标2：增加机构基础设施，以支持和维持更高水平的教职员工的研究需求。这将包括自我学习，以评估部门，学院和大学的支持，并提出改进关键领域的方法建议。可衡量的结果将包括提高对支持教师开发和维持有竞争力的研究项目的需求的认识和承诺。学院研究人员提出的项目涵盖了广泛的生物医学研究，包括基础和应用领域。如果提供所需的时间、资源和机构支持来开展研究，参与者将变得更有生产力和对主流资助的竞争力。这将大大加强学院内的研究，促进其他教职员工参与更高水平的研究，并为生物医学研究中代表性不足的少数群体提供更多机会。

California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) proposes to establish an MBRS (Minority Biomedical Research Support) Support of Continuous Research Excellence (SCORE) program on its campus. This will be done in conjunction with an MBRS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program and will build upon its experience with its MBRS-Associate Investigator program that has been in continuous existence in CSULB since 1987. Specifically, we propose to increase the research capabilities of faculty members within the Departments of Chemistry/Biochemistry and Biological Sciences and to provide the infrastructure necessary to support highly productive and competitive research. Goal 1: Increase research skills and capabilities as well as productivity of participating faculty members so they will be no more competitive for R01 or equivalent grants. Specific measurable objectives will include: 1) an increased publication rate (50% will have a manuscript accepted by year 2, 100% will have at least one manuscript accepted for publication by year 3; and 75% will have at least three manuscripts accepted by year 4), and 2) 50% of the participating faculty members will write and submit RO1 or equivalent amplifications during the period of the proposed grant. Goal 2: Increase the institutional infrastructure to support and maintain research needs of faculty members at a higher level. This will include a self-study to evaluate department, college, and university support and make recommendations for ways to improve in key areas. Measurable outcomes will include an increased awareness and commitment to support the needs of the faculty to develop and maintain competitive research programs. The proposed projects of the faculty investigators cover a wide range of biomedical research, both in basic and applied areas. Provided the needed time, resources, and institutional support to carry out research, participants will become more productive and competitive for mainstream grants. This will significantly strengthen research within the college, promote involvement of other faculty members at a higher level of research, and provide expanded opportunities for under-represented minorities in biomedical research.
