描述（由申请人提供）：雷曼学院是一所西班牙裔服务机构，也是布朗克斯唯一的公立学院。1.2米)。雷曼支持活跃的研究实验室，其研究项目包括本科生、硕士和博士水平的学生。由于MBRS和SCORE的资助，该机构的研究环境蓬勃发展。活跃的研究实验室的存在使少数民族学生有更多的机会获得必要的研究经验，以产生和支持研究事业的愿望。2003年9月1日，SCORE项目开始了为期4年的续期的第一年。这份补充申请提议在雷曼学院目前资助的10个研究项目基础上再增加8个研究项目。拟建子项目的主要研究人员来自人类学、生物学和心理学。这些拟议项目的加入将进一步提高雷曼在生物医学科学研究的广度和深度，并将为我们的学生提供更广泛的研究实验室，从中选择他们的导师。提议的3D虚拟和实体可视化核心设施将扩展来自三个系的SCORE教师的个人和合作研究工作，包括数学系和化学系的相关研究人员。该设施将补充新的SCORE支持的生物成像设施。雷曼SCORE计划的拟议目标是通过发表论文数量和提交R01和R01类型研究支持的拨款申请数量来提高教师生产力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lehman College is a Hispanic Serving Institution and the only public college in the Bronx (pop. 1.2M). Lehman supports active research laboratories and includes undergraduate, masters and doctoral level students in its research programs. The research environment of the institution has blossomed as a result of MBRS and SCORE funding. The presence of active research laboratories leads to increased opportunities for minority students to obtain research experience necessary to engender and support aspirations for research careers. On September 1, 2003, the SCORE program began the first year of its 4-year renewal. This supplemental application proposes the addition of 8 research projects to the 10 currently funded at Lehman College. Principal Investigators of the proposed subprojects come from the Departments of Anthropology, Biology, and Psychology. The addition of these proposed projects will further enhance the breadth and depth of Lehman's research in biomedical science and will offer our students a wider range of research laboratories from which to select their mentors. The proposed 3D Virtual and Solid Visualization Core Facility will extend individual and collaborative research efforts of SCORE faculty from the three departments represented, as well as including associated investigators from the Departments of Mathematics and Chemistry. This facility will complement the new SCORE supported Biological Imaging Facility. The proposed goals of the Lehman SCORE program are to increase faculty productivity measured by numbers of published papers and by numbers of grant applications submitted for R01 and R01-type research support.
