DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomedical Research Program at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) is multidisciplinary in nature and involves 4 subprojects and 1 pilot project. The areas of research encompass many disciplines including: biochemistry, molecular biology, neurogenic communication disorders, organometallic chemistry, and speech pathology. One of the priorities of the SCORE Program is to assist in shifting the focus at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) from a primarily instructional institution to an institution with a more rigorous research component. It is our intent to substantially increase biomedical research activity at UDC, thus having it complement our effectively implemented teaching component. A second priority of this grant is to strengthen the research infrastructure at the University, which will subsequently increase the likelihood that junior faculty members will pursue research activities and also increase research productivity of those currently engaged in these activities. To this end, the SCORE Program will specifically: (1) encourage new hires and current faculty at the University to participate in the SCORE Program; (2) upgrade and fine-tune the skills of the faculty through involvement in basic research, interactions at scientific meetings and collaborations with other investigators; (3) strengthen the research capabilities of investigators by providing state-of-the-art equipment and supplies; (4) provide release time that will allow faculty sufficient time to do cutting edge research in a non-research intensive institution and (5) assist faculty in fulfilling the University goals on research, and also increase research productivity of those currently engaged in these activities. It is anticipated that as a result of the SCORE Program: (1) the number of SCORE participants will increase by 30%; (2) the number of publications by SCORE participants will increase by 15%; (3) the number of SCORE faculty participants giving presentations will be maintained at 100%; and (4) the percentage of collaborations by SCORE faculty participants with leading authorities in their field will increase by 25%. Achievement of these goals will increase the research visibility of UDC both at the national and international levels.

描述（由申请人提供）： 哥伦比亚特区大学 (UDC) 的生物医学研究项目本质上是多学科的，涉及 4 个子项目和 1 个试点项目。研究领域涵盖许多学科，包括：生物化学、分子生物学、神经源性沟通障碍、有机金属化学和言语病理学。 SCORE 计划的优先事项之一是协助哥伦比亚特区大学 (UDC) 将重点从主要的教学机构转变为具有更严格研究成分的机构。我们的目的是大幅增加 UDC 的生物医学研究活动，从而使其补充我们有效实施的教学部分。这笔赠款的第二个优先事项是加强大学的研究基础设施，这将增加初级教员从事研究活动的可能性，并提高目前从事这些活动的人员的研究生产力。 为此，SCORE计划将具体：（1）鼓励大学新员工和现任教职人员参与SCORE计划； (2) 通过参与基础研究、科学会议上的互动以及与其他研究人员的合作，提升和调整教师的技能； (3) 通过提供最先进的设备和用品来加强研究者的研究能力； (4) 提供空闲时间，使教师有足够的时间在非研究密集型机构中进行前沿研究；(5) 协助教师实现大学的研究目标，并提高目前从事这些活动的人员的研究生产力。 预计 SCORE 计划的实施将带来： (1) SCORE 参与者数量将增加 30%； （2）SCORE参与者的出版物数量将增加15%； （3）SCORE教师参与演讲的人数保持在100%； (4) SCORE 教员参与者与各自领域领先权威的合作比例将增加 25%。这些目标的实现将提高 UDC 研究在国家和国际层面的知名度。
