Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Institutional Development Award at Drew

描述(由申请人提供)：DREW MBRS SCORE项目的总体使命是显著提高生物医学研究的质量，并增加查尔斯·R·德鲁医学与科学大学竞争性资金的长期增长。目前的MBRS-SCORE基金(2003年8月资助)使该大学建立了更强大的生物医学基础设施，以支持更多的生物医学研究项目，并增强了该大学竞争新的非MBRS赠款的能力。与目前专注于发展个别教师的SCORE计划不同，修订后的SCORE S06申请程序已被修改，以制定新的策略，以加强院校研究环境，使大学可以成功地支持初级教师研究竞争力的发展。 为此，查尔斯·德鲁大学提议发展德鲁研究人员发展和教育项目(德鲁骄傲)。Drew Pride将整合整个大学及其合作机构提供的研究培训、教育和教师发展资源，促进上课和讲座，协调时间表，并在整个大学推广这些资源。特别是，Drew Pride将在全校范围内向初级调查人员(那些没有任何独立资金的调查人员，如R01)提供这些服务。在资助期结束后，成功的活动将完全制度化，以创建一个更强大和更全面的研究管理单位，该单位不仅是技术性的，而且注入了行之有效的教师研究发展战略。总而言之，德鲁S06分数计划将努力通过制度化协调和增加获得为满足个人需求而量身定做的研究培训、教育和发展资源的机会，来增强其初级教师的研究竞争力。 这项资助申请的目标是使Drew Pride能够：(1)在大学范围内实施正式的导师计划，在整个职业发展过程中对初级研究研究员进行咨询、激励和指导；(2)通过协调培训和教育资源的获取，满足初级教员的个人研究发展需求；(3)通过实施拨款前审查程序促进更高质量的拨款申请，其中将包括外部审查员对初级研究人员的拨款进行预审查。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Drew MBRS SCORE program's overall mission is to significantly improve the quality of biomedical research and to increase the long-term growth of competitive funding at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. Current MBRS-SCORE funding (funded in August 2003) has permitted the university to establish a stronger biomedical infrastructure to support an increased number of biomedical research projects and enhance the university's ability to compete for new non-MBRS grants. Unlike the current SCORE program, which concentrates on developing individual faculty, this revised SCORE S06 application has been modified to develop new strategies to strengthen the institutional research environment so that the University may successfully support the development of junior faculty research competitiveness. To this end, Charles Drew University proposes to develop the Drew Program for Research Investigator Development and Education (Drew PRIDE). Drew PRIDE will integrate research training, education and faculty development resources offered throughout the university and its collaborating institutions, facilitate access to classes and lectures, coordinate schedules, and promote these resources throughout the university. In particular, Drew PRIDE will provide these services to junior investigators (those investigators who do not have any independent funding such as an R01) university-wide. Upon the end of the funding period, successful activities will be fully institutionalized to create a more robust and comprehensive research management unit that is not merely technical, but infused with proven strategies for faculty research development. In summary, the Drew S06 SCORE program will strive to enhance the research competiveness of its junior faculty by institutionalizing the coordination of and increasing the access to research training, education, and development resources tailored to meet individual needs. The goals of this grant application are to enable Drew PRIDE to: (1) implement a university-wide formalized mentorship program, whereby junior research investigators are counseled, motivated, and coached through their career development process; (2) meet individual junior faculty research development needs through coordinating access to training and educational resources; (3) promote higher quality grant applications through implementation of a pre-grant review process which will include outside reviewers to pre-review grants for the junior investigators.
