SCORE Program*

The goal of the SCORE PROGRAM is to enhance the professional development of the research faculty and sustain a research environment at CSU which encourages students to point their career goals to leadership positions in biomedical research. The current Program, with funding through 2011, organizes its activities around four faculty-led research projects in biology and chemistry. These projects offer CSU students practical laboratory experiences in a range of research subjects and serve as on-campus research activities for students who participate in the developmental projects of the MBRS RISE Program.
