DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fayetteville State University (FSU), a public comprehensive regional university, was established in 1867 and is one of the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System. A historically black institution with a rich history of excellence in education, FSU is also one of the most diverse universities in North Carolina and the nation. Recognizing the diversity of its student and faculty populations, FSU recently was funded to implement a dynamic, multi-faceted FSU RISE Program with the overarching goal of increasing the number of well-prepared Biology and Chemistry FSU undergraduates entering doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. To achieve this goal, four RISE objectives were proposed: (1) To strengthen the academic performance of Biology and Chemistry majors; (2) To provide students with meaningful research experiences; (3) To enhance the faculty's capability to provide research training; and (4) To improve the research training environment. A series of phased-in activities has been designed for each level in the undergraduate student's training, from the pre-freshman stage through graduation. New students will be added each year as continuing RISE Scholars advance in their programs of study. This timetable provides the opportunity for students to build upon skills developed at each stage of their participation in the FSU RISE Program, while also allowing faculty time to develop themselves to conduct research and to provide research training. This supplemental application seeks to provide additional resources to facilitate the FSU RISE Program's successful achievement of its objectives. The two components of the supplement are: (1) acquisition of two research grade instruments -- a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system and an ultracentrifuge; and (2) hiring of a support person to provide research training and technical assistance. Theses components will prove immediately valuable in meeting the objectives of the RISE Program. In particular, the instruments will be used in conjunction with state-of-the-art equipment already available in the Core Molecular Biology Research Laboratory during the Biotechniques Workshop offered to the RISE scholars and in specific faculty-initiated intramural research projects. The equipment and technical assistance will also enhance research training, faculty development and research infrastructure by providing new faculty access to necessary research grade equipment and technical assistance needed to acquire preliminary data for future grant proposal submissions. The expected outcomes of this FSU RISE Program instrumentation supplement are: (1) Increased numbers of well trained FSU science graduates; (2) Increased acceptance of FSU students into summer internships and graduate program; (3) Enhanced faculty participation in intramural research training; (4) Increased submission of research grant proposals by FSU faculty.

描述（申请人提供）：费耶特维尔州立大学（FSU）是一所公立综合性地区大学，成立于1867年，是北卡罗来纳大学系统的16所组成机构之一。佛罗里达州立大学是一所历史悠久的黑人院校，拥有丰富的卓越教育历史，也是北卡罗来纳州乃至全国最多元化的大学之一。认识到学生和教师群体的多样性，FSU 最近获得资助，实施了一项动态、多方面的 FSU RISE 计划，其总体目标是增加准备充分的生物学和化学 FSU 本科生进入生物医学科学博士课程的数量。为实现这一目标，提出了四个RISE目标：（1）加强生物和化学专业的学术表现； （2）为学生提供有意义的研究经历； (3) 提高教师提供研究培训的能力； （四）改善科研培养环境。在本科生的培养过程中，从预科阶段到毕业阶段，都设计了一系列分阶段的活动。随着 RISE 学者继续学习项目的进展，每年都会增加新学生。该时间表为学生提供了在参与 FSU RISE 计划的每个阶段发展的技能的机会，同时也让教师有时间发展自己进行研究和提供研究培训。该补充申请旨在提供额外资源，以促进 FSU RISE 计划成功实现其目标。补充的两个组成部分是：（1）购买两台研究级仪器——高效液相色谱（HPLC）系统和超速离心机； (2) 聘请支持人员提供研究培训和技术援助。这些组件将立即证明对于实现 RISE 计划的目标很有价值。特别是，在为 RISE 学者提供的生物技术研讨会期间以及由教师发起的特定校内研究项目中，这些仪器将与核心分子生物学研究实验室现有的最先进的设备结合使用。设备和技术援助还将通过为新教师提供必要的研究级设备和技术援助来加强研究培训、教师发展和研究基础设施，以获取未来拨款提案提交的初步数据。 FSU RISE 计划仪器补充的预期成果是： (1) 增加训练有素的 FSU 理科毕业生的数量； (2) 增加佛罗里达州立大学学生参加暑期实习和研究生项目的接受度； (3) 加强教师参与校内研究培训； (4) 佛罗里达州立大学教师增加提交研究资助提案。
