MBRS SCORE Program at Morgan State University

描述（由申请人提供）：摩根州立大学（MSU）请求NIH/NIGMS支持更新我们的MBRS持续研究卓越支持（SCORE）计划。我们计划的目的是继续努力，由该机构和我们以前的SCORE计划，以促进我们的教师从事生物医学研究在该机构作为成功的独立调查员的发展。因此，拟议计划的长期目标是：（1）维持一个多学科的研究环境，整合跨生物医学和生物化学学科的信息，集中在医疗保健的差距往往与城市环境。这项研究将补充我们目前的教学和研究活动;（2）加强研究基础设施，与其他研究密集型机构，行业，政府机构和民间/非营利组织建立合作伙伴关系;（3）继续支持教师发展计划，以加强该机构的研究。MSU-SCORE计划的具体目标和目的是：（一）继续提升院校的研究能力;（二）在新的四年SCORE计划资助期内，将参与计划的学系的研究学院的研究资助额增加25%，生物系和化学系教师的报告和出版物数量分别增加25%和50%。拟议的MSU-SCORE计划是独特的定位，以实现其目标，因为MBRS-SCORE计划的整体使命是与该机构的目标相一致，一个从事生物医学研究的教师正在走向独立，在其他MORE项目中，（MARC U* 星星和MBRS RISE）在参与部门谁需要研究导师与校外支持，为他们提供高质量的实验室经验。良好的研究经验对学员的影响，我们希望不仅能提高他们的竞争力，进入研究生课程，导致研究博士学位，但也成功地完成他们。因此，MBRS-SCORE计划和提交的十个研究项目与我们对少数民族学生的培训相互关联，是摩根州立大学整体研究使命的组成部分。我们相信，继续在摩根州立大学的MBRS评分计划将进一步提高该机构的能力，以实现其研究目标和目的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Morgan State University (MSU) requests NIH/NIGMS support to renew our MBRS Support for Continuous Research Excellence (SCORE) program. The purpose of our program is to continue efforts initiated by the institution and in our previous SCORE program to facilitate the development of our faculty engaged in biomedical research at the institution as successful independent investigators. Therefore the long-term goals of proposed program are to: (1) sustain a multidisciplinary research environment that integrates information across Biomedical and Biochemical disciplines that is centered on the health-care disparities often associated with the urban environment. This research will complement our current teaching and research activities; (2) strengthen the research infrastructure that will forge collaborative partnerships with other research-intensive institutions, industries, government agencies and civic/nonprofit organizations; and (3) to continue the support of faculty development programs that will enhance research at the institution. The specific goals and objectives of the MSU-SCORE program are to: 1) to continue to enhance the research capabilities of the institution, 2) to increase, over the new 4-year SCORE program funding period, the amount of research grant support by research faculty in participating departments by 25%, and 3) to increase the number of presentations and publications by faculty members in the departments of Biology and Chemistry by 25% and 50%, respectively. The proposed MSU-SCORE program is uniquely positioned to accomplish its goal given that the overall mission of the MBRS-SCORE program is consonant with the goals of the Institution, the presence of a large pool of faculty engaged in biomedical research that are moving toward independence, and a significant pool minority students in other MORE programs (MARC U*STAR and MBRS RISE) in participating departments who are in need of research mentors with extramural support to provide them with quality laboratory experiences. The impact of a sound research experience for trainees we hope will not only increase their competitiveness to enter graduate programs leading to the research doctorate but to also successfully complete them. Therefore, the MBRS-SCORE program and the ten research projects submitted projects are interrelated with our training of minority students and is an integral component in Morgan State University's overall research mission. We believe that continuation of the MBRS SCORE program at Morgan State University will further enhance the institution's ability to achieve its research goals and objectives.
