MBRS Overview The MBRS Program is structured as the overall "umbrella" for two subdivisions at Clark Atlanta University: 1) the Support of Continuous Research Excellence Program (SCORE Program) and 2) the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Program (RISE Program). Both are supported by the Minority Biomedical Research Support Program (MBRS Program) of the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of General Medical Sciences/MORE Program. The MBRS SCORE and RISE Programs work in conjunction with the Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Physics departments.
