Hunter Institutional Development Program (SCORE)

描述（由申请人提供）：亨特学院将建立一个SCORE机构发展计划，以改善研究环境，并提供教师进行有竞争力的生物医学和行为研究的增强能力。目标是基于以前SCORE资助的成功活动和调查科学教师的需求。将提高赠款提交和颁奖的效率。SCORE办公室将提供各种举措，以协助教师申请和获得研究赠款。具体举措将侧重于不同发展水平的教师，包括新教师、初级教师和高级教师。所有教师，以及SC 1，SC2和SC 3评分PI，将协助申请适当的评分或全市，州，联邦或基金会赠款。寻求增加赠款申请数量和申请成功率。计划，以提高教师的沟通技巧将启动，包括提供一个编辑审查手稿和赞助的教师介绍研究成果的年度研讨会。补助金写作技巧的提高将得到各种外部团体的补助金写作讲习班的支持。正在进行的帮助，在赠款写作和批评将提供由高级猎人教师谁持有R 01赠款。将寻求增加大学和纽约市立大学范围内的合作，以便在获得纽约市立大学和/或联邦机构的多学科研究或设备赠款方面具有竞争力。与以前的SCORE补助金一样，来自不同部门但具有共同研究兴趣的教师团体将成立：研究兴趣小组（RIGs）。教师将分享和讨论结果，邀请杰出的演讲者，并参加年度科学研讨会。RIG将是建立初级和高级教师指导关系的网站，以帮助撰写论文和赠款。此外，SCORE办公室将与其他SCORE PD和椅子协调，让其他CUNY学院的教师参与进来，以申请合作赠款。最后，SCORE将建立/升级在线数据库，用于监测教师的研究生产力和跟踪研究生项目，这是许多赠款申请所必需的。总之，四个具体的目标/举措，以改善亨特学院的研究环境，提高其教师的研究生产力。每项倡议都有具体的目标和可衡量的目标，并提供了一个评价计划。此外，还规定了将这些目标制度化的时间表。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hunter College will establish a SCORE Institutional Development Program to improve the research environment and provide an enhanced ability of the faculty to conduct competitive biomedical and behavioral research. Aims are based on successful activities of previous SCORE funding and from surveying the needs of science faculty. Productivity in grant submissions and awards will be increased. The SCORE Office will provide a variety of initiatives to assist faculty to apply for and obtain research grants. Specific initiatives will focus on faculty at different levels of development including new, junior and senior faculty. All faculty, as well as SC1, SC2 and SC3 SCORE PIs, will be assisted to apply to appropriate SCORE or CUNY-wide, state, federal or foundation grants. Increases in both the number of grant applications and the success rate of applications are sought. Programs to enhance faculty communication skills will be initiated and include providing an editor to review manuscripts and sponsoring a yearly symposium for faculty to present research results. Improvements in grant writing skills will be supported by grant writing workshops by various outside groups. On-going help in grant writing and critiquing will be provided by senior Hunter Faculty who hold R01 grants. Increases in college- and CUNY-wide collaborations will be sought in order to become competitive for multi-disciplinary research or equipment grants from CUNY and/or federal agencies. As in previous SCORE grant, groups of faculty from different departments, but with common research interests, will be formed: Research Interest Groups (RIGs). Faculty will share and discuss results, invite outstanding speakers and participate in a yearly science symposium. The RIGs will be the site for establishing junior-senior faculty mentoring relationships for assistance in paper and grant writing. Further, the SCORE office will co-ordinate with other SCORE PDs and chairs to involve faculty at other CUNY colleges in order to apply for collaborative grants. Finally, SCORE will establish/upgrade on-line data-bases for monitoring faculty research productivity and tracking graduate student programs which are necessary for many grant applications. In summary, four specific aims/initiatives are presented to improve the research environment at Hunter College and to enhance the research productivity of its faculty. Each initiative has specific goals and measurable objectives, and an evaluation plan is provided. In addition, time-lines for institutionalization of the aims are provided.
