FIU's Minority Opportunity in Research Programs

SCORE Program Homepage

The purpose of the MBRS Support of Continuous Research Excellence (SCORE) Program is to assist biomedical research faculty at minority - serving institutions to develop competitive research programs, and to increase the number of underrepresented minorities professionally engaged in biomedical research. This is achieved by providing financial assistance to competitively chosen research programs in all areas of biomedical and behavioral research.
