MBRS Support of Research Excellence at Brooklyn College

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约城市大学布鲁克林学院是一个大型的，多样化的城市校园，少数民族学生不到50%。该学院拥有约11，000名本科生和约4，500名硕士生。我们还参加了博士培训，作为纽约市立大学研究生中心的一部分，在科学领域享有盛誉的校园博士课程。该学院重视教学，并有一个良好的记录，发送一组不同的学生对研究博士学位。我们的教师每年辅导数百名学生，包括许多代表性不足的少数民族学生，在实验室为基础的研究。该学院已指定11个生物医学研究学院参加这第一个SCORE项目。该项目将使SCORE的参与者能够提高他们的研究能力和生产力，并为加强该机构的研究文化和声誉做出充分贡献。该项目的总体目标是：（1）通过增加在SCORE支持的研究实验室工作的博士后研究员、研究生和本科生的数量，提高SCORE教师的研究生产力;通过增加关键实验室设备、生物信息学/建模设备和更换旧的不可靠的笼式洗衣机来增加研究基础设施;促进研究人员与布鲁克林学院教师和外部科学家的合作。(2)为了提高SCORE教师的研究竞争力，通过增加提交和出版的参考出版物的数量，在全国会议上给出的演示文稿，以及外部赠款提交和奖励;通过在项目的第一年增加新的SCORE调查人员作为补充项目;通过将一些杰出的科学家带到校园展示他们的工作，并与SCORE教师讨论研究问题;并提供教师发展研讨会，介绍成功的研究科学家在平衡研究、教学、指导、出版和为大学社区服务时需要掌握的技能，以提高生产力和成功。(3)通过制定一个详细和积极的计划，与我们的行政部门，我们的部门招聘委员会和外部咨询委员会一起进行多样性科学招聘工作，以增加参与生物医学研究的学院少数民族教师的数量。学院院长已同意设定一个目标，即在SCORE项目的四年中每年雇用一名少数民族科学教员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Brooklyn College of the City University of New York is a large, diverse urban campus with just under 50% minority students. The college has an enrollment of approximately 11,000 undergraduates and approximately 4,500 Master's students. We also participate in doctoral training with highly regarded on-campus doctoral programs in the sciences as part of the Graduate Center of CUNY. The college values teaching and has a strong record of sending a diverse group of students on for research doctorates. Our faculty members mentor several hundred students a year, including many underrepresented minority students, in laboratory-based research. The College has designated 11 biomedical research faculty to take part in this first SCORE project. The project will allow SCORE participants to increase their research capabilities and productivity and to contribute fully to strengthening of the institution's research culture and reputation. The overall goals of the project are: (1) To increase SCORE faculty research productivity by adding to the number of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students working in SCORE-supported research labs; by increasing the research infrastructure by adding key laboratory equipment, a bioinformatics/modeling facility and replacing an old and unreliable cage washer; and fostering increased collaboration of investigators with both Brooklyn College faculty and with external scientists. (2) To increase research competitiveness of SCORE faculty by increasing the number of referred publications submitted and published, of presentations given at national conferences, and of external grant submissions and awards; by adding new SCORE investigators as supplemental projects in the first year of the project; by bringing a number of prominent scientists to campus to present their work and discuss research issues with SCORE faculty; and by providing faculty development workshops on skills that successful research scientists need to master to be productive and successful as they balance research, teaching, mentoring, publishing, and service to the college community. (3) To increase the number of minority faculty at the College involved in biomedical research by developing a detailed and proactive plan for diversity science hiring efforts in conjunction with our administration, our departmental hiring committees, and an external advisory committee. The College President has agreed to set a target of hiring one minority science faculty member per year for the four years of the SCORE project.
