NINDS Neuroscience Funding Announcements

Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Pilot Project Award (SC2)

Funding Contact(s): Michelle Jones-London, Ph.D.
Funding Categories: Minority Health and Research

Brief Description:
The objective of the SCORE program is to foster the development of faculty at minority serving institutions (MSIs) in order to increase their research competitiveness and promote their transition to non-SCORE external sources of funding. This objective is expected to translate into an increase in the number of individuals from groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research professionally engaged in these areas of research, and an enhancement of an institution’s research base. SCORE SC grants are offered to eligible MSIs. For the purposes of this program, eligible MSIs are those with more than 50% student enrollment of individuals from groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research.
