The broad goals of the MBRS/SCORE Program at UPRM (University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez) are, first, to increase the competitiveness of UPRM science and engineering departments through greater participation in MBRS/SCORE. As 98% of UPRM enrollment and 72% of faculty are minority US citizens, these goals are consistent with the MBRS objective of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities conducing biomedical research through support of scientifically meritorious and biomedically relevant research by faculty members at minority serving institutions. The goals are also consistent with the published UPRM objectives of faculty development and support of competitive research. The specific goals are 1) Show success by investigators at meeting specific aims of each MBRS research project aimed at UPRM, 2) Increase number of peer-reviewed publications by MBRS researchers at UPRM, 3)Increase number of MBRS of MBRS-related presentations at national (US) research meetings by MBRS searchers at UPRM, 4) Promote transition of MBRS/SCORE investigators at UPRM to mainstream research funding such as R01 awards or funding from other agencies, 5) Increase the number of projects submitted as part of our institutional proposal to the MBRS/SCORE Program, and 6) Increase number of collaborating investigators with significant roles on UPRM MBRS projects. All goals but the first have specific, quantitative objectives tied to the existing baseline against which the performance of each project and investigator, and the program director will be evaluated. The first goal has qualitative objectives. Seven participating departments, Biology, Chemistry, Marine Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, Agronomy, and Chemical Engineering, have generated the 16 projects that are submitted with this proposal. Twenty-two faculty members from these departments are participating as principal investigators or associate investigators with a minimum of 25% effort. The 16 narrowly focused research projects combined to cover a wide range of biomedically relevant basic research. Areas of study ranges from mathematical simulation of disease processes to physical chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, natural products chemistry, methods of drug administration, molecular evolution, and animal behavior. The successful undertaking of these projects and the completion of the specific program goals will increase the competitiveness of our researchers and departments.

首先，通过更多地参与MBRS/SCORE，在UPRM（波多黎各大学，玛雅格斯大学）的MBRS/得分计划的广泛目标是提高UPRM科学和工程部门的竞争力。由于98％的UPRM入学率和72％的教职员工是美国公民，因此这些目标与MBRS的目标是一致的，该目标是通过支持科学合理的和生物医学相关的研究，从而增加了代表性不足的少数群体的数量，而少数群体中的少数群体成员在少数职级服务机构的研究。这些目标还与已发表的教师发展和竞争研究支持的UPRM目标一致。具体目标是1）表明，调查人员在满足针对UPRM的每个MBRS研究项目的特定目标时表明，2）增加了MBRS研究人员在UPRM上的同行评审出版物的数量，3）增加MBRS与MBR相关的MBR相关演示的国家（美国）在UPRM的MBR Secriptor proprim/aSS的MBR研究会议的MBR相关介绍数量，4） R01奖项或其他机构的资金5）增加了作为MBRS/SCORCE计划的机构建议的一部分提交的项目数量，而6）增加了在UPRM MBRS项目中具有重要作用的合作调查人员的数量。除第一个目标以外的所有目标都具有与现有基线相关的特定定量目标，每个项目的绩效和调查员的绩效以及计划主管将得到评估。第一个目标具有定性目标。七个参与的部门，生物学，化学，海洋科学，数学，物理学，农艺学和化学工程已经产生了该提案中提交的16个项目。这些部门的22名教职员工正在担任首席调查员或副研究人员，至少要努力25％。这16个狭义的研究项目合并为涵盖广泛的生物医学相关基础研究。研究领域范围从疾病过程的数学模拟到物理化学，分子生物学，生物化学，天然产物化学，药物给药方法，分子进化和动物行为。这些项目的成功承担和完成特定计划目标的完成将提高我们的研究人员和部门的竞争力。
