Support of Continuous Research Excellence at Clark Atl.

描述（由申请人提供）：克拉克亚特兰大大学建议继续其MBRS SCORE计划，以实现以下目标：（1）提高SCORE资助的科学家的出版率;（2）通过涉及其他学科的科学家来增加资助的生物医学研究人员的数量;（3）增加每个研究者的资金水平。CAU将从这些目标的实现中受益匪浅，因为生物医学研究人员的生产力提高不仅会增加生物医学领域的知识，而且会提高大学在这一重要领域的声誉，并提高大学招募更多生物医学研究人员和研究生的能力。 使用SCORE基金在过去，CAU已经能够显着增加在大学进行的生物医学研究的数量。这项研究不仅被用于推进生物医学某些领域的科学知识，而且还作为生物科学，化学和物理学本科生和研究生研究培训的核心。SCORE资金也被用来增加谁可以被带到大学作为研讨会的客人，这显着增强了环境，让教师和学生有机会听到重要的研究进展的第一手资料，并允许我们的教师和学生与这些科学家的个人互动的机会。 CAU MBRS SCORE计划的继续不仅可以继续这些活动，而且还可以通过鼓励开发更多的合作，多学科项目来扩大单个科学家的研究基础。来自更多学科的更多科学家参与该计划，需要参加每两周一次的研究讨论论坛，并大力鼓励与高产科学家的外部合作发展，应导致参与生物医学研究的CAU科学家数量增加，合作项目数量增加，以及新科学知识的产生和出版增加。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Clark Atlanta University proposes to continue its MBRS SCORE program in order to achieve the following goals: (1) to increase the publication rate of SCORE-funded scientists; (2) to increase the number of funded biomedical researchers by involving scientists from additional disciplines; and (3) to increase the funding level of each investigator. CAU will benefit significantly from the accomplishment of these goals because increased productivity of the biomedical researchers will not only increase knowledge in the biomedical field, but it will increase the reputation of the University in this important field and enhance the University's capability to recruit additional biomedical researchers and graduate students who want to become biomedical researchers. Using SCORE funds in the past, CAU has been able to significantly increase the amount of biomedical research that is performed at the University. This research has been used not only to advance scientific knowledge in some fields of biomedicine, but it has also served as the core for the research training of undergraduate and graduate students in the biological sciences, chemistry and physics. SCORE funding has also been used to increase the number of established scientists who could be brought to the University as seminar guests, which significantly enhanced the environment by giving faculty and students the opportunity to hear first hand of important research advances and allowed opportunities for personal interaction of our faculty and students with these scientists. Continuation of the CAU MBRS SCORE program will not only allow for the continuation of these activities, but it will allow for the expansion of the research base of individual scientists by encouraging the development of more collaborative, multidisciplinary projects using internal and external investigators. The involvement of more scientists from more disciplines in the program, requiring participation in a biweekly research discussion forum, and strongly encouraging the development of external collaborations with highly productive scientists should lead to an increase in the number of CAU scientists involved in biomedical research, an increased number of collaborative projects, and an increase in the generation and publication of new scientific knowledge.
