Supplement U-RISE Delaware State University: Student Training in Academic Research (STAR) Summary: This proposal is to request supplemental support for designing complementary online activities that will be integrated synergistically with those of the U-RISE program at Delaware State University (DSU). These activities are in response to the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on DSU and U-RISE program, compelling the program to consider offering many of its skill-development workshops online and to design new computational-driven training modules virtually. The U-RISE training site at DSU is established as a catalyst to attract, and to closely train, up to 12 undergraduate students per year in any of the biomedical research disciplines, totaling up to 36 trainees over the five-year period of the grant. Our STAR Scholars will be mentored and motivated to ultimately pursue their PhD degree and careers related to biomedical research. DSU, an Historically Black University (HBCU), enrolls about 4800 undergraduate students, with over 70% being members of racial and ethnic minority groups that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Based on best practices from the literature, we will implement an educational and research training program that will support successful graduation of our scholars and ensure that they are accepted to biomedically-related graduate programs, are motivated to attend, and are prepared for success. Our STAR Scholars will participate in two summer research internships, first on the DSU campus, and the second at a research intensive institution. Through the IDeA Networks of Biomdical Research and other connnections, we have identified a large number of partner institutions who will host our STAR Scholars in their summer undergraduate research programs, ensuring that they are matched with trained, experienced mentors. To support our Scholars, we have designed a series of activities, courses, and workshops that will provide knowledge and skills development to support academic success at DSU and in graduate school. Our Scholars will be supported by strong, culturally-competent mentors, who have completed an on-line mentoring course and participate in interventions shown to minimize implicit bias. To increase STEM engagement and self-efficacy and strengthen critical thinking skills among the broader STEM student community at DSU, our program supports professional development to faculty to integrate course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) into introductory STEM courses. We expect these early research experiences to increase retention and motivate more students toward careers in research. We aim that 90% of our DSU-STAR trainees graduate with a bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline, at least 60% of our trainees pursue a biomedical Ph.D or Ph.D/M.D. degree at a research intensive institution, and at least 80% of those matriculants obtain their degrees. Furthermore, the DSU STAR program will also support initiatives to increase the four and five year graduation rate from 25% to 35% and 38% to 50%. Finally, we will establish assessment mechanisms to evaluate the program, to ensure its continuous success.

补充 U-RISE 特拉华州立大学：学术研究学生培训 (STAR) 概括： 该提案旨在请求补充支持，以设计补充性在线活动，这些活动将 与特拉华州立大学 (DSU) 的 U-RISE 项目协同整合。这些 活动是为了应对意外的 COVID-19 爆发及其对 DSU 和 U-RISE 的影响 计划，迫使该计划考虑提供许多在线技能发展研讨会， 虚拟地设计新的计算驱动的培训模块。 DSU 的 U-RISE 培训地点是 旨在每年吸引和密切培训多达 12 名本科生， 生物医学研究学科，在资助的五年期间总共培训了 36 名学员。我们的 STAR 学者将受到指导和激励，最终攻读博士学位并从事相关职业 到生物医学研究。 DSU 是一所传统黑人大学 (HBCU)，招收约 4800 名本科生 学生中，超过 70% 是传统上属于少数种族和族裔群体的成员 在 STEM 领域代表性不足。根据文献中的最佳实践，我们将实施教育 和研究培训计划，将支持我们的学者成功毕业并确保他们 被生物医学相关的研究生课程录取，有动力参加，并做好准备 成功。我们的 STAR 学者将参加两次夏季研究实习，首先是在 DSU 校园， 第二个是在研究密集型机构。通过 IDeA 生物医学研究网络 其他联系，我们已经确定了大量的合作机构来主办我们的 STAR 学者们参加夏季本科研究项目，确保他们与训练有素的、 经验丰富的导师。为了支持我们的学者，我们设计了一系列的活动、课程和 研讨会将提供知识和技能发展，以支持 DSU 和其他大学的学术成功 研究所。我们的学者将得到强大的、具有文化能力的导师的支持，他们拥有 完成在线辅导课程并参与可最大限度减少隐性偏见的干预措施。 提高 STEM 参与度和自我效能，并加强学生的批判性思维能力 在 DSU 更广泛的 STEM 学生社区中，我们的计划支持教师的专业发展 将基于课程的本科生研究经验 (CURE) 纳入 STEM 入门课程。我们 期望这些早期的研究经验能够提高保留率并激励更多的学生走向职业生涯 研究。我们的目标是 90% 的 DSU-STAR 学员毕业时获得 STEM 学士学位 学科，至少 60% 的学员攻读生物医学博士学位或博士/医学博士学位。研究学位 集中院校，至少 80% 的入学者获得学位。此外，DSU STAR 计划还将支持将四年制和五年制毕业率从 25% 提高到 35％和38％至50％。最后，我们将建立评估机制来评估项目，以确保 它的不断成功。
