U-RISE AT DILLARD UNIVERSITY

项目概要/摘要 迪拉德大学（DU）建议为学生建立本科研究培训计划 增强（U-RISE）计划建立在与路易斯安那州州立大学健康的强大伙伴关系之上 科学中心（LSUHSC）。在2005年卡特里娜飓风之后，这所大学已经强劲反弹， 超过1.5亿美元用于校园翻新和修复，包括一个新的4300万美元，160，000平方米。 英尺专业科学楼。这有力地重申了大学对培训以下人员的承诺： 它的学生大多数是当地人，其中98%是非洲裔美国人，99%接受联邦财政援助。 我们建议利用我们的迪拉德/LSUHSC伙伴关系，建立迪拉德U-RISE成功 计划（通过丰富和特殊支持加强大学本科生的能力）。 通过我们与LSUHSC-NO的合作，学生将有机会获得优质的教学，研究， 全国各地的医疗机构。 U-RISE to SUCCESS计划将涉及16名U-RISE学者（从大三开始每年4名） 丰富的研究经验。U-RISE学者将通过以下方式体验增强的课程 参加研讨会，讲习班，特别课程的课外活动，并为 在熟练教师的指导下全年参与当代研究。 目标1.创建一个从事URM学者的社区，为从事生物医学研究做好准备。 目标A1。加强和提升我们现有的研究和学术支援活动， 实施跨学科的早期调查为基础的小组研究计划和协作干预 艺术与科学学院的保留计划。这一宗旨和目标的成果是：1） 建立一个强大的科学基础; 2）在全国范围内建立一个URM科学家社区， RISE Scholars; 3）提供严格性和可重复性的培训;以及4）增加外部实习 参与 目标二。为了增加整体URM学生申请研究生学位课程，并提高 生物医学/行为职业的知识。 目标A2。增加学生对研究生学位课程和生物医学/行为学的知识 通过将“以生物医学/行为职业为重点”的课程整合到研讨会课程中， 其他正在进行的活动。实现这一目标的结果是：1）50%的优秀学生参加了培训 在U-RISE将通过密集的持续职业生涯进入生物医学研究特定领域的研究生院 指导和申请准备援助;并通过举办专门的U-RISE研讨会， 专业人士和其他群体在潜在的研究生机构。

Project Summary/Abstract Dillard University (DU) propose to establish an Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) Program building on a strong partnership with Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC). After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the university has since rebounded strongly with more than $150 million spent on campus renovation and restoration, including a new $43 million, 160,000 sq. ft. professional science building. This is a strong reaffirmation of the university’s commitment to the training of its mostly local student population, which is 98% African American, with 99% receiving federal financial aid. We propose to leverage our Dillard/LSUHSC partnership to establish the Dillard U-RISE to SUCCESS Program (Strengthening Undergraduate Capabilities in College through Enrichment and Special Support). Through our partnership with LSUHSC-NO, students will have access to premium teaching, research, and healthcare institutions state-wide. The U-RISE to SUCCESS Program will involve 16 U-RISE Scholars (4 per year starting in the junior year) in a rich research-oriented experience. The U-RISE scholars will experience an enhanced curriculum through participation in co-curricular activities of seminars, workshops, special courses, and strong opportunities for year-round participation in contemporary research under the direction of skilled faculty. Aim 1. To create an engaging community of URM scholars prepared for pursuing biomedical research. Objective A1. To strengthen and enhance our existing research and academic support activities by implementing an interdisciplinary early inquiry-based group research program and a collaborative intervention and retention program in the School of Arts and Science. The outcomes for this aim and objective are to: 1) to build a strong foundation in the sciences; 2) to establish a community of URM scientists nationwide with U- RISE Scholars; 3) to provide training in rigor and reproducibility; and 4) increase external internship participation Aim 2. To increase overall URM student applications to research graduate degree programs and improve knowledge of biomedical/ behavioral careers. Objective A2. To increase students’ knowledge of graduate degree programs and biomedical/behavioral sciences careers by integrating a “biomedical/behavioral careers focused” curriculum into seminar courses and other ongoing activities. The outcomes for this aim and objective are: 1) 50% of talented students participating in U-RISE will enter graduate school in a biomedical research-specific area through intensive ongoing career guidance and application preparation assistance; and by holding dedicated U-RISE workshops with career professionals and other groups at potential graduate institutions.
