This HBCU-RISE proposal seeks support to implement a new Neuroscience PhD program and to build and develop our state-wide neuroscience network at Delaware State University. The project will support student stipends and research supplies, start up and release time for new faculty with neuroscience-related research and support for a weekly neuroscience seminar that will rotate among consortium institutions and be live streamed to all of them. The RISE project will provide resources for new educational opportunities for minority students and increase their opportunities to be involved in cutting edge research in an area with growing career opportunities and scientific importance. This project integrates research and education by supporting graduate students, supporting new faculty members to establish independent research programs at an HBCU and fostering scientific collaborations among faculty at DSU and partner institutions. The strengthened research and research-training infrastructure at DSU will increase the number of minority students successfully pursuing PhD degrees in the Life Sciences and increase faculty productivity. The neuroscience network will serve as a national model for successful partnership between HBCUs, majority institutions, research institutes, and industry.

这HBCU-RISE建议寻求支持，以实施新的神经科学博士课程，并建立和发展我们在特拉华州州立大学全州范围内的神经科学网络。该项目将支持学生津贴和研究用品，启动和释放时间为新的教师与神经科学相关的研究和支持每周神经科学研讨会，将轮流在联盟机构和实时流到所有他们。RISE项目将为少数民族学生提供新的教育机会资源，并增加他们参与一个具有不断增长的职业机会和科学重要性的领域的前沿研究的机会。该项目通过支持研究生，支持新教师在HBCU建立独立的研究项目，并促进DSU教师和合作机构之间的科学合作，将研究和教育结合起来。DSU加强研究和研究培训基础设施将增加少数民族学生成功攻读生命科学博士学位的人数，并提高教师的生产力。神经科学网络将成为HBCU，大多数机构，研究机构和行业之间成功合作的国家模式。
