SUPPORT FOR CONTINUOUS RESEARCH EXCELLENCE

俄克拉荷马州东南部立大学设想的MBRS/SCORE计划的一个目标是扩大该机构现有的生产性研究项目的核心。要做到这一点，最好的办法是建立新的研究能力，特别是让年轻教员参与进来。其他目标包括发展研究生产力、资助制度和生物医学相关性。第五个目标是为少数民族理工科学生提供参与高质量研究项目的机会，即学生将在大三和大四时与既定的研究人员一起工作。该计划是跨学科的，涉及化学，生物学和心理学成分。SCORE计划的主要重点将放在基础研究上，但学生的智力提高和研究事业的动机被表示为这些活动的一个突出的额外结果。这里所述的所有目标对于该计划的最终成功至关重要。SCORE计划将由一个独立的项目组成，其具体目标如下。项目一，“微细胞电动毛细管色谱法中氨基酸的增强分辨率”将开发新的微分析毛细管电泳方法，适用于处理痕量生物材料，特别是氨基酸序列测定。项目二“用于生物医学应用的无机抗体标签”将重点研究具有诊断或治疗应用潜力的硼、铜和铋的抗体偶联形式的制备。

One objective of the envisioned MBRS/SCORE Program at Southeastern Oklahoma State University is to expand upon the nucleus of productive research projects already existing at the institution. This will be best accomplished by establishing new research capabilities, especially involving young faculty members. Additional objective include the development of research productivity, grantsmanship and biomedical relevance. The fifth objective is to provide opportunities for minority students majoring in science to participate in high quality research projects, i.e., students will work with established investigators during their junior and senior years. The program is interdisciplinary, involving chemistry, biology and psychology components. The main focus of the SCORE Program will be on basic research, but student intellectual enhancement and motivation for research careers is expressed to be a prominent additional outcome of the activities. All of the objectives stated here are essential for the program's ultimate success. The SCORE program will consist of one discrete project, and their specific aims are described as follows. PROJECT ONE, "Enhanced Resolution of Amino Acids in Micellular Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography" will develop novel microanalytical capillary electrophoresis methods suitable for handling trace quantities of biological materials, especially for amino acid sequence determination. Project two, "Inorganic Antibody Labels for Biomedical Applications" will focus on the preparation of antibody conjugated forms of boron, copper and bismuth that have potential for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
