DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Located on the south-side of Chicago, Chicago State University (CSU) is a liberal arts, public institution with a predominantly African-American student body. CSU serves the highest proportion of Black students of all public universities in the Illinois-lndiana-lowa-Wisconsin contiguous four-state region where it produces the largest number of Black baccalaureate degree recipients. As an urban comprehensive university, CSU faces both the opportunity and the challenge of educating students who are mostly raised and educated within a ten-mile radius of the campus and are products of both an economically disadvantaged background and often a high school education which has not prepared them for college-level work. The CSU MBRS SCORE program is a response to the NIH initiative to improve significantly the research capabilities of minority and minority-serving institutions as a means to address the need to increase the numbers of minority students entering doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. The quantitative goals of the CSU MBRS SCORE program are (1) to increase the number of junior faculty engaged in biomedical research, and (2) to increase the number of biomedical research publications from CSU teaching faculty. The qualitative goal of the Program is to create a research environment at CSU which stimulates faculty to engage in discovery research and which, by example, encourages students to direct their career goals to leadership positions in biomedical research. The CSU program organizes its activities around faculty-led research projects in biology and chemistry. The current Program consists of eight investigator-initiated research projects of which all but one is led by junior faculty who have been hired within the past four years. This new application proposes an increase in the number of projects supported to 14 projects and one pilot project. This increase in funded discovery research will provide additional training opportunities for minority students and will thereby impact the number of African-Americans entering careers in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：位于芝加哥州立大学（CSU）的芝加哥南部，是一家文科艺术，公共机构，主要是非裔美国人的学生团体。 CSU为伊利诺伊州lndiana-lowa-wisconsin连续四州地区的所有公立大学的黑人学生提供最高比例，在那里它产生了最多的黑人学士学位接受者。作为一所城市综合大学，CSU既面临机会，也面临着教育大多数在校园半径范围内养育和教育的学生的挑战，并且是经济上处于弱势群体背景的产物，而且通常是一项高中教育，而这些高中教育却没有为他们做好准备。 CSU MBRS得分计划是对NIH倡议的回应，以显着提高少数族裔和少数民族服务机构的研究能力，以解决增加生物医学科学博士学位课程的少数群体学生人数的需求。 CSU MBRS分数计划的定量目标是（1）增加从事生物医学研究的初级教师的数量，以及（2）增加CSU教学学院的生物医学研究出版物的数量。该计划的定性目标是在CSU上创建一个研究环境，该研究环境刺激教师参与发现研究，以例如鼓励学生将其职业目标定向到生物医学研究领域的领导地位。 CSU计划围绕着由教师领导的生物学和化学研究项目组织其活动。当前的计划由八个研究者发起的研究项目组成，除一个研究项目外，所有研究项目都是由过去四年中被雇用的初级教师领导的。该新应用程序提出增加了14个项目和一个试点项目的项目数量。资助的发现研究的这种增加将为少数族裔学生提供更多的培训机会，从而影响非裔美国人的数量，从事生物医学研究的职业。
