Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Pilot Project Award (SC2): -This PA provides updated guidelines for the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Program SC2 mechanism for Pilot Project Awards. -The SCORE Program is a developmental program designed to increase the research competitiveness of faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and the research capabilities of MSIs. To better achieve these objectives, the existing SCORE (S06) program, which had the structure of a non-thematic program project, has been revised so that separate funding opportunities exist for individual investigator-initiated research awards and for a stand-alone institutional award. The mechanisms used for these funding opportunities are the SC1, SC2 and SC3 awards for individual investigators and the S06 award for institutions. The funding opportunities of the SC1 (PAR-06-491), SC3 (PAR-06-493) and S06 (PAR-06-490) award mechanisms may be found at the NIGMS website, http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Minority/MBRS/. Research proposed under any of the investigator-initiated SCORE award mechanisms must fall within the scope of the NIH mission, which is science in pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. -This announcement for the SC2 award outlines the individual investigator-initiated pilot research project for faculty members who are in their early stages of development and are seeking to gather preliminary data or more advanced investigators interested in switching to a different research field from the one in which an individual has been engaged in and published.
