MBRS-SCORE项目将继续发展德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的研究环境，使其更有利于生物医学科学领域的卓越科学研究。该计划将通过提供研究支持来提高和培养计划参与者的研究能力。SCORE计划将促进跨学科方法来解决影响基础生物医学研究的问题。本计划将有来自不同学科的教师参与子项目，包括生物化学、生物统计学、癌症生物学、化学、传染病、分子生物学、健康科学、免疫学、毒理学、神经生物学和生物工程。这些次级项目的重点是增加生物医学科学或保健专业中代表性不足的少数群体的人数。该项目将通过提供必要的资金，促进与研究生教育相关的富有成效的研究环境，扩大少数族裔学生，特别是拉美裔学生的研究机会。我们的研究计划，加上我们的学生研究计划，将增加少数民族学生进行生物医学研究的数量，从而扩大少数民族谁将使生物医学研究的职业池。我们独特的地理位置和高西班牙裔入学率实际上保证了我们在这一努力中取得成功。德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校将通过为教师提供释放时间来增加他们在实验室研究和研究培训方面的努力，为SCORE计划做出重大贡献。该计划的主要目标是：(1)提高与SCORE计划直接和间接相关的教师的研究效率；(2)增加接受过生物医学研究培训并准备从事生物医学领域职业的未被充分代表的少数民族本科生和研究生的数量；(3)促进所有学术/研究水平的多样性。

The MBRS-SCORE program will continue to develop the research environment at the University of Texas at El Paso that is more conducive to scientific research excellence in the biomedical sciences. The program will enhance and cultivate the research capabilities of program participants by providing research support. The SCORE program will foster interdisciplinary approaches to solving problems that affect basic biomedical research. This program will involve faculty from different disciplines on subprojects involving biochemistry, biostatistics, cancer biology, chemistry, infectious diseases, molecular biology, health sciences, immunology, toxicology, neurobiology, and bioengineering. These subprojects are focused to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical sciences or in health professions. The program will expand the research opportunities for minority students, especially Hispanics, by providing the funds necessary to foster a productive research environment associated with graduate education. Our research initiatives, coupled with our student research programs, will increase the number of minority students performing biomedical research, thereby expanding the pool of minorities who will make biomedical research a career. Our unique geographical location and our high Hispanic enrollment virtually assure us of succeeding in this endeavor. The University of Texas at El Paso will contribute substantially to the SCORE Program by providing release time for faculty to increase their efforts in both laboratory research and research training. The major goals of the program are to: (1) enhance the research productivity of faculty directly and indirectly associated with SCORE program; (2) increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduates and graduate students that are trained in biomedical research and prepared to pursue careers in biomedical fields; and (3) promote diversity at all academic/research levels.
