U-RISE Delaware State Unversity: Student Training in Academic Research (STAR) Summary: We propose to establish a U-RISE training site at Delaware State University (DSU) as a catalyst to attract, and to closely train, up to 18 undergraduate students per year in any of the biomedical research disciplines, totaling up to 54 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.

U-Rise特拉华州立大学：学术研究方面的学生培养(STAR) 摘要： 我们建议在特拉华州立大学(DSU)建立一个U-Rise培训基地，作为催化剂 在任何生物医学研究领域，每年吸引和密切培训最多18名本科生 在赠款的五年期间，总共有54名受训人员。我们的明星学者将是 指导并激励他们最终攻读与生物医学研究相关的博士学位和职业。 密歇根州立大学是一所历史悠久的黑人大学(HBCU)，招收约4800名本科生，占70%以上 作为传统上在STEM中代表性不足的种族和少数民族群体的成员。基座 根据文献中的最佳实践，我们将实施一项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专业录取 研究生课程，有动力参加，并为成功做好准备。我们的明星学者们将 参加两个暑期研究实习，第一个在密歇根州立大学校园，第二个在一个研究 集约型机构。通过生物医学研究的思想网络和其他联系，我们有 确定了大量合作机构，他们将在夏季接待我们的明星学者 本科生研究计划，确保他们与训练有素、经验丰富的导师相匹配。至 支持我们的学者，我们设计了一系列活动、课程和研讨会，将提供 知识和技能的发展，以支持在得克萨斯州立大学和研究生院的学术成功。我们的 学者将得到强大的、有文化能力的导师的支持，这些导师已经完成了在线 指导课程，并参与干预措施，以最大限度地减少内隐偏见。 提高STEM的参与度和自我效能感，并加强他们的批判性思维能力 在DSU更广泛的STEM学生社区，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)融入STEM入门课程。我们 希望这些早期的研究经验能增加留存，并激励更多的学生走向职业生涯 研究。我们的目标是90%的北大星级学员毕业时拥有STEM学士学位 学科，我们至少有60%的受训人员在研究中攻读生物医学博士或博士/医学博士学位- 这些预科生中至少有80%获得了学位。此外，特警队 STAR计划还将支持将四年和五年毕业率从25%提高到 35%和38%至50%。最后，我们将建立评估机制对方案进行评估，以确保 它不断取得成功。
