MBRS/SCORE at York College

描述（由申请人提供）：约克学院的愿景和使命宣言将其描述为一所致力于通过教学、学习、研究和奖学金实现学术卓越的机构。学院5年计划的具体目标之一是创造一个重视和鼓励研究和学术的学术环境，这反映在所有学术部门的计划中。学院设想MBRS/SCORE计划作为实现这一目标的主要手段。MBRS/SCORE计划的目标是：1)加强研究基础设施，改变学院文化，通过一系列活动来支持机构研究和研究培训：a) MBRS/SCORE生物医学学科教员的任命、晋升和终身教职，其中至少75%的教员表现出很高的研究潜力；B)减少生物医学研究学科所有新教师的工作量，同时每个教师制定学术计划；c)至少75%的MBRS/SCORE生物医学研究学科的教师参与资助活动，50%在制定提案方面获得援助，75%获得启动资金，d)所有MBRS/SCORE教师拥有足够的实验室设备，仪器和空间；e)约克大学-食品药品监督管理局合作，获得至少100万美元的外部资金，用于两所机构的科学家进行的与健康有关的研究；2)维持并在可能的情况下增加研究者发起的研究的参与：a)将拥有MBRS/SCORE教员的生物医学研究学科的数量从6个增加到7个；b)将MBRS/SCORE研究者的百分比增加25%；3)加强MBRS/SCORE教师的研究竞争力，a)促进他们实现各自的职业发展计划，b)将他们在专业学会会议上的演讲次数增加25%，c)将同行评议的出版物数量增加17%，增加具有竞争性研究项目的教师数量i)在S06机制中增加29%，ii)在R-15类型机制中增加25%。为了实现这些目标，约克大学要求为提交MBRS/SCORE提案的12名教师提供支持：9名常规教师和3名试点教师。常规提案来自5个生物医学学科（生物学、化学、运动科学、心理学、社会工作），试点提案来自3个生物医学学科（环境健康科学、心理学、社会工作）。这些调查人员中，有6人继续参与2006年度计划，2人是目前正在寻求2006年度计划定期资助的试点调查人员，4人是新调查人员，其中1人申请2006年度计划定期资助，3人申请试点资助。透过MBRS/SCORE提供的资源，学院可以继续加强和多样化其研究能力和研究培训能力，并继续为在生物医学研究中被忽视的少数族裔提供更多机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): York College's vision and mission statements describe it as an institution committed to academic excellence through teaching, learning, research and scholarship. One of the specific objectives in the College's 5-year plan, which is reflected in the plans of all academic departments, calls for creating an academic environment that values and encourages research and scholarship. The College envisions the MBRS/SCORE Program as a primary means of achieving this objective. The goals and objectives of the MBRS/SCORE Program are: 1) to strengthen the research infrastructure and change the College culture to support institutional research and research training by a series of activities resulting in: a) the appointment, promotion and tenuring of faculty in MBRS/SCORE biomedical disciplines, at least 75% of whom exhibit high potential for research; b) reduced workload for all new faculty in biomedical research disciplines concomitant with each faculty's development of a scholarly plan; c) at least 75% of faculty in MBRS/SCORE biomedical research disciplines participating in grantsmanship activities, 50% obtaining assistance in developing proposals, and 75% receiving start-up funding, d) all MBRS/SCORE faculty having adequate laboratory equipment, instrumentation and space; e) the York College-FDA Collaborations obtaining at least $1m in external funding for health-related research pursued by scientists from both institutions; 2) to maintain, and where possible, increase the participation of investigator-initiated research by a) increasing the number of biomedical research disciplines with MBRS/SCORE faculty from 6 to 7, b) increasing the percentage of MBRS/SCORE investigators by 25%; 3) to strengthen the research competitiveness of MBRS/SCORE faculty by a) facilitating them in meeting their respective career development plans, b) increasing their number of presentations at professional society meetings by 25%, c) increasing their number of peer-reviewed publications by 17%, increasing the number of faculty with competitive research programs i) by 29% in the S06 mechanism and by ii) 25% in R-15 type mechanisms. To achieve these goals and objectives, York requests support for the 12 faculty submitting MBRS/SCORE proposals: 9 regulars and 3 pilots. The regular proposals come from 5 biomedical disciplines (biology, chemistry, movement science, psychology, social work) and the pilot proposals come from 3 biomedical disciplines (environmental health science, psychology, social work). Six of these investigators are continuing S06 PIs, 2 are current pilot investigators seeking regular S06 funding, 4 are new investigators with 1 applying for a regular S06 and 3 applying for pilot funding. With the resources provided by MBRS/SCORE, the College can continue to strengthen and diversify its research capability and research training capability, and continue to provide expanded opportunities for underrepresented minorities in biomedical research.
