DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current SCORE application represents a continuing effort to build a solid core of research faculty that will conduct quality biomedical research at the University of Guam (UOG). Upon reestablishment of the SCORE program, the PIs and proposed External Scientific Advisor (ESA) will mentor other faculty in establishing their own research programs. Thus, a major objective is to increase the number of faculty applying for SCORE or other peer-reviewed grant support over the next four years. The number of underrepresented minorities involved in biomedical research (a stated SCORE goal) is predicted to increase at the UOG with the improvement in biomedical infrastructure and research opportunities through the SCORE program. The faculty involved in the current SCORE application are full-time research appointments. They have made substantial progress in establishing their own research programs at the UOG Marine Laboratory, a designated research unit; this will ensure the success and productivity of the proposed studies. In accordance with the overall goals of the NIH MBRS program to broaden opportunities for participation and to "increase the number of underrepresented minority faculty, investigators, and students engaged in biomedical or behavioral research," we have set the following primary goals for the UOG SCORE program: (1) to increase the number of researchers involved in the SCORE program through mentoring and grant-writing workshops; (2) to increase research quality and productivity of SCORE participants through collaborations with off-site research-intensive institutions; (3) to strengthen the link between research and learning at the UOG through joint meetings between RISE and SCORE, and via an Interdisciplinary Biomedical and Marine Science Seminar (IBMS) series in which we encourage active student participation; and 4) to capitalize on Guam's unique natural resources and cultural diversity for biomedical research. This SCORE project includes an Interdisciplinary Biomedical and Marine Science Seminar and studies on (1) Characterization and Epidemiology of Coral Tumors and (2) New Approaches to Sponge-Microbial Symbioses.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前的分数申请代表着持续的努力，以建立研究教师的坚实核心，该核心将在关岛大学（UOG）进行质量生物医学研究。在重建分数计划后，PIS和拟议的外部科学顾问（ESA）将指导其他教师建立自己的研究计划。因此，一个主要目标是增加未来四年申请分数或其他经过同行评审的赠款支持的教师数量。预计参与生物医学研究的代表性不足的少数群体的数量将在UOG处增加，随着生物医学基础设施和研究机会的改善，将会增加。当前分数申请的教师是全日制研究任命。他们在指定的研究部门的UOG海洋实验室建立自己的研究计划方面取得了重大进展。这将确保拟议研究的成功和生产力。根据NIH MBR计划的整体目标，以扩大参与机会并“增加从事生物医学或行为研究的学生的数量不足的少数群体，调查人员和学生的数量”，我们为UOG分数计划设定了以下主要目标：（1）通过涉及分数的研究人员来增加通过培训和授予奖学金的培训工作的研究人员数量； （2）通过与现场研究密集型机构的合作来提高分数参与者的研究质量和生产力； （3）通过上升和得分之间的联合会议以及通过跨学科生物医学和海洋科学研讨会（IBMS）系列的联合会议加强UOG的研究与学习之间的联系，我们鼓励积极的学生参与； 4）利用关岛独特的自然资源和文化多样性来进行生物医学研究。该分数项目包括跨学科生物医学和海洋科学研讨会以及（1）珊瑚肿瘤的表征和流行病学研究以及（2）海绵菌菌群的新方法。
