SCORE Program at Hunter College

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约城市大学亨特学院是一个大型的，城市，多元化的校园，超过50%的少数民族学生。Hunter SCORE计划支持艺术与科学学院49个研究实验室中的26个的研究，该学院在2002年发表了145篇基于35名博士后，145名博士生和110名本科生研究的同行评审论文。自2000年资助以来，SCORE已经实现了大部分可衡量的目标，包括出版物增加25%，博士后增加78%，本科研究人员增加50%，博士生意外增加75%，包括来自代表性不足的少数民族的本科生和博士生的数量和比例增加。此外，我们超过了我们的主要独立研究资金的4个新来源的目标：SCORE教师获得了7个新的奖项和7个更新到目前为止，包括NSF职业奖两个初级教师，一个前MARC学生。这些成果来自于直接的研究支持，研究研讨会项目的支持，以及两个主要活动的机构：小型SCORE指导/兴趣小组会议，称为科学研究兴趣小组（SRIG），以及包括研讨会和内部和外部批评和编辑提案在内的granitarian活动。在下一个资助期内，我们寻求将这些成功扩展到更多的亨特研究人员。我们要求支持17个完整的和3个试点提案，主要来自新的教师和副教授。六个项目是新的，另外三个是从教师与三年或更少的SCORE资金。猎人SCORE计划将支持这些实验室的研究，以及扩大的granitary培训，研讨会支持，SRIG会议，并促进初级教师前往科学会议和合作者。评价活动的基础是内部数据收集、杰出科学家外部咨询委员会的年度评估和评价调查。这些活动将导致实现以下目标：1.将SCORE参与者参考的出版物数量增加三分之一; 2. SCORE实验室的博士后数量进一步增加50%; 3. SCORE参与者中的六个新赠款和六个续期; 4. SCORE实验室的博士生数量增加50%; 5.在学院和其他项目的支持下，聘请了4名新的研究活跃的少数民族教师。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hunter College of the City University of New York is a large, urban, diverse campus with over 50% minority students. The Hunter SCORE program supports research in 26 of the 49 research labs in the School of Arts and Sciences, which in 2002 published 145 peer-reviewed papers based on research of 35 post-docs, 145 PhD students, and 110 undergraduates. Funded since 2000, SCORE has achieved most of its measurable objectives including a 25% increase in publications, a 78% increase in post-docs, a 50% increase in undergraduate researchers, and an unanticipated 75% increase in doctoral students, including increased number and percentage of undergraduates and PhD students from under-represented minorities. In addition, we exceeded our objective of 4 new sources of major independent research funding: SCORE faculty garnered 7 new awards and 7 renewals so far, including NSF Career Awards to two junior faculty, one a former MARC student. These outcomes result from direct research support, support of research seminar programs, and institution of two major activities: meetings of small SCORE mentoring/interest groups called Scientific Research Interest Groups (SRIGs), and grantsmanship activities including workshops and internal and external critiquing and editing of proposals. In the next funding period we seek to extend these successes to additional Hunter research faculty. We ask support for17 full and 3 Pilot proposals, mostly from new faculty and Associate Professors. Six projects are new and three more are from faculty with three years or less of SCORE funding. The Hunter SCORE program will support research in these labs, as well as expanded grantsmanship training, seminar support, SRIG meetings, and facilitation of junior faculty travel to scientific meetings and to collaborators. Evaluation activities are based on internal data collection, annual assessments by an External Advisory Committee of distinguished scientists, and evaluation surveys. These activities will lead to achievement of the following objectives: 1. increase by one third the number of refereed publications by SCORE participants; 2. a further 50% increase in the number of post-docs in SCORE labs; 3. six new grants and six renewals among SCORE participants; 4. a 50% increase in the number of doctoral students in SCORE labs; and 5. with the support of the College and other programs, hiring of 4 new research active minority faculty.
