MBRS SCORE at CSU Dominguez Hills

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的MBRS计划在加州州立大学（CSU），多明格斯山的目标是注入到科学部门的生物医学研究文化，从而使生物医学研究的学生，教师和机构发展的重要组成部分，因为它涉及到加州州立大学系统的功能。我们的SCORE目标，这一补充旨在开发教师的研究潜力，包括少数民族教师，在生物学和心理学系。在此应用程序中，我们计划增加参与生物医学研究的科学教师的数量，通过增加一个科研人员发起的研究项目和三个试点项目，所有这些项目都提出了基础生物医学科学和/或健康相关问题的重要研究。我们目前有两个资助的SCORE调查，如果所有拟议的项目都得到资助，我们可能会在校园内总共有六个参与者发起/试点项目，共涉及七名教职员工。如果心理学系的项目得到资助，我们也有可能为我们的SCORE项目增加三名少数民族教师。我们希望SCORE研究人员在项目期间从其他来源寻求资金，并在同行评审的科学期刊上发表文章。我们还希望大学在项目期间雇用更多的教师，他们有可能参与生物医学研究。我们的科学咨询委员会将为我们的SCORE PI提供指导，并指导大学改善研究环境。 在上一个资助周期，我们朝着我们的目标取得了良好的进展，并有一个前进的势头，如果保持下去，将继续提高CSU多明格斯山，一个少数民族服务机构的生物医学研究能力。SCORE和CSU Dominguez Hills的其他更多项目继续发展我们校园社区特定群体的生物医学研究能力。通过SCORE的教师发展使大学能够提高其支持研究的能力，并提供学生可以蓬勃发展的实验室。这个SCORE补充继续我们的生物医学研究人员的核心，他们寻求开发大学的研究潜力，并在CSU Dominguez Hills创建一个学生和教师研究学者的社区。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of our MBRS programs at California State University (CSU), Dominguez Hills is to infuse a biomedical research culture into the science departments, thereby making biomedical research an important component of student, faculty and institutional development, as it relates to the function of the California State University system. Our SCORE objectives for this supplement are aimed at developing faculty research potential, including minority faculty, within the Departments of Biology and Psychology. In this application we plan to increase the number of science faculty involved in biomedical research by adding one investigator-initiated research project and three pilot projects, all of which propose important research in basic biomedical science and/or health-related issues. We currently have two funded SCORE investigators and, if all of the proposed projects are funded, we could potentially have a total of six investigator-initiated/pilot projects on campus involving a total of seven faculty members. We also have the potential to add three additional minority faculty to our SCORE program if the projects from the Department of Psychology are funded. We expect that SCORE investigators will seek funding from other sources during the project period and publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals. We also expect the University to hire additional faculty within the project period who have the potential to become involved in biomedical research. Our Scientific Advisory Committee will provide guidance for our SCORE PIs and mentor the University to improve the research environment. We had good progress toward our goal during the last grant cycle and have a forward momentum that, if maintained, will continue to increase the biomedical research capability of CSU Dominguez Hills, a minority-serving institution. SCORE and the other MORE programs at CSU Dominguez Hills continue to develop the biomedical research capability of specific groups of individuals in our campus community. Faculty development through SCORE enables the university to improve its ability to support research and also provides laboratories in which students can flourish. This SCORE supplement continues our nucleus of biomedical researchers who seek to develop the research potential of the university and create a community of student and faculty research scholars at CSU Dominguez Hills.
