Project-002

此申请是为了申请续订摩根州立大学(MSU)的Ascend构建计划。这个 Ascend第一阶段的主要目标是增强生物医学研究人员的多样性 通过实施和测试面向本科生的创业培养模式。另一大专业 目标是增强密歇根州立大学及其教职员工的研究能力，以便阿森德的干预措施能够 在资助期过后持续。在第一阶段，Ascend实施了干预措施， 进行形成性和总结性评价，并在各种论坛上展示评价结果。结果是 到目前为止所取得的进展显示出相当大的成功。Ascend创业模式在中国的实施 密歇根州立大学导致从事生物医学专业的本科生数量大幅增加 研究。在提升的学生中，有更多的科学认同感，同伴支持，和社交， 学业和研究自我效能感。教员出版物和外部赠款申请有所增加。为 第二阶段，Ascend调查人员计划继续这些努力，但根据从 第一阶段，将对一些干预措施进行修改，以使其变得更加有效、高效、可持续和 可扩展。

This application is to request the renewal of ASCEND, Morgan State University’s (MSU’s) BUILD program. The primary goal of the first phase of ASCEND was to enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce by implementing and testing an entrepreneurial training model for undergraduate research. Another major goal was to enhance the research capacity of MSU and its faculty so that ASCEND’s interventions can be sustained beyond the funding period. Over its first phase, ASCEND has implemented its interventions, conducted formative and summative evaluations, and presented the results at various forums. The results obtained thus far show considerable success. The implementation of the ASCEND entrepreneurial model at MSU has led to a substantial increase in the number of undergraduate students engaged in biomedical research. Among ASCEND students, there is increased sense of science identity, peer support, and social, academic and research self-efficacy. Faculty publications and external grant submissions have increased. For the second phase, ASCEND investigators plan to continue these efforts, but, based on results obtained from the first phase, some of the interventions will be modified to become more effective, efficient, sustainable, and scalable.
