SCORE Project at Meharry Medical college-Supplement 3

描述（由申请人提供）：梅哈里医学院SCORE计划的长期目标是帮助提高学校研究企业相对于美国其他健康科学中心的竞争地位。该计划旨在创造一个研究环境，其中教师将提高他们的研究技能和能力，以有效地进行高质量的研究，通过同行评审的出版物和在全国会议上的演讲来传播他们的研究，并与独立的校外研究基金竞争更大的成功。最后，SCORE补充申请中提出的设备改进将有助于该机构完成其使命，开展基础、临床和应用研究，特别侧重于对少数民族人口造成不成比例影响的疾病和状况。当前计划的具体目标保持不变：1）到30年年底，将MBRS研究人员的同行评议出版物数量从每年1.1篇增加到2.0篇; 2）将全国会议上的教师演讲水平保持在每年1篇以上;和3）到2031年，将获得RO1类赠款的SCORE调查员从10%增加到20%。这一补充申请，分子生物学核心设施的扩展，寻求资金，以增加一个Affyssin基因芯片仪器系统和ABI PRISM 3100遗传分析仪到现有的分子生物学核心设施。增强的设施将更好地服务于教师和学生调查内外的MBRS社区在梅哈里。预计该设备将立即用于正在进行的研究，以提高生产力，并提高应用于Meharry医学院提出的现有生物医学问题的创新水平

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-range goal of the SCORE Program at Meharry Medical College is to assist in improving the competitive status of the school's research enterprise relative to other health science centers in the United States. The program seeks to create a research environment wherein faculty will improve their research skills and capabilities to efficiently conduct high quality research, to disseminate their research through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national meetings, and to compete with greater success for independent extramural research funds. Finally, the equipment enhancements proposed in this SCORE supplemental application will assist the institution in its mission to conduct basic, clinical and applied research with special emphasis on diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect ethnic minority populations. The specific aims of the current program remain unchanged: 1) To increase the number of peer reviewed publications by MBRS investigators from 1.1 to 2.0 papers per year by the end of year-30; 2) To maintain the level of faculty presentations at national meetings to above 1 per year; and 3) To increase the acquisition of RO1 type grants from 10% to 20% of the SCORE investigators by year-31. This supplemental application, Expansion of Molecular Biology Core Facility, seeks funds to add an Affymetrix GeneChip Instrument system and an ABI PRISM 3100 Genetic Analyzer to the existing Molecular Biology Core Facility. The enhanced facility will better serve faculty and student investigators within and beyond the MBRS community at Meharry. It is anticipated that this equipment will be immediately utilized in ongoing research to boost productivity and elevate the level of innovation applied to existing biomedical questions being posed at Meharry Medical College
