The long-range objective of the MBRS SCORE Program at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC) is to develop productive health-related research programs among faculty, contribute to a supportive campus research environment, and stimulate under-represented minority students to enter careers in biomedical research. MBRS SCORE Program funding provides faculty an opportunity to generate sufficient data to present research results at national and international research forums, publish in peer-review journals, and apply for independent research support. The Program encourages the participation of developing investigators from throughout the Medical Sciences Campus with the expectation that this support will empower them to compete on a more equal basis with researchers from more gifted institutions.
