MBRS SCORE at San Francisco State University

这种竞争性的更新应用程序的目标是进一步旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU）的长期目标，以提高其教师进行生物医学研究的生产力和素质，并显着增加少数民族教师和学生从事和追求生物医学事业的数量。SFSU自1995年以来一直得到MBRS计划的支持，在这种支持下，其计划已从4个教师项目发展到18个。在本奖项期间，SCORE教师和他们的学生在研究会议上做了120多个演讲，并在领先的同行评审期刊上发表或准备了40多篇论文，由80多名学生合著。 同样重要的是，SCORE计划作为一个教师招聘工具，吸引了一流的生物医学研究人员到我们的教师，包括8在过去3年，其中50%是少数民族科学家。继续资助我们的SCORE计划将使SFSU能够支持16个子项目和两个试点项目，由三类教师进行：那些谁是刚刚开始在SFSU的职业生涯，因此是SFSU的生物医学研究计划的未来;那些正在从或最近从助理过渡到副教授级别，并定位成为SFSU生物医学研究的领导者企业;和教师谁是从其他相关的研究领域过渡到生物医学研究，并有潜力提高和丰富SFSU的生物医学研究企业。在下一个奖项期间，SFSU预计其高级SCORE成员竞争R 01资金的能力将取得重大突破，并预计MBRS SCORE计划将成为一个既定的机制，通过该机制，其新教师可以成功过渡到类似的研究生产力水平。同样重要的是，随着SCORE子项目的扩展，SFSU的本科生和研究生将有更丰富的研究项目参与。项目主任将直接建议和监督所有SCORE子项目的进展，并将与咨询委员会协商管理该项目。一个外部科学咨询委员会将协助个别研究人员，就研究项目的科学重点和进展提供咨询意见。对SCORE计划的全面评估将由SFSU公共研究所的外部评估人员进行。

The goal of this competitive renewal application is to further San Francisco State University's (SFSU) long-term objective to increase the productivity and caliber of its faculty conducting biomedical research and to significantly increase the number of minority faculty and students engaged in and pursuing biomedical careers. SFSU has received support from the MBRS program since 1995, and with this support, its program has evolved from 4 faculty projects to 18. During the present award period, SCORE faculty and their students have made more than 120 presentations at research conferences and have published or have in preparation over 40 papers, co-authored by more than 80 students, in leading peer-reviewed journals. As importantly, the SCORE program has functioned as a faculty recruitment tool, attracting top-notch biomedical researchers to our faculty, including eight over the past 3 years, 50% of whom are minority scientists. Continued funding of our SCORE program will allow SFSU to support 16 subprojects and two pilot projects conducted by three categories of faculty: those who are just beginning their careers at SFSU and thus are the future of SFSU's biomedical research program; those who are transitioning from, or have recently transitioned from Assistant to Associate Professor level and who are positioned to become the leaders of SFSU's biomedical research enterprise; and faculty who are transitioning into biomedical research from other, related research areas, and have the potential to enhance and enrich the biomedical research enterprise at SFSU. During this next award period, SFSU anticipates a major breakthrough in the ability of its senior SCORE members to compete for R01 funding, and expects that the MBRS SCORE program will become an established mechanism by which its new faculty can transition successfully to a similar level of research productivity. As importantly, with the expanded breadth of SCORE subprojects, SFSU undergraduate and graduate students will have a richer array of research projects in which participate. The Program Director will directly advise and monitor the progress of all SCORE subprojects and will administer the program in consultation with the Advisory Committee. An External Scientific Advisory Committee will assist the individual investigators by providing advice on the scientific focus and progress of research projects. A comprehensive evaluation of the SCORE program will be conducted by external evaluators from SFSU's Public Research Institute.
