DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fayetteville State University (FSU) is a public comprehensive regional university and one of the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System. A historically black institution with a rich 134-year history of excellence in education, FSU is also one of the most diverse universities in North Carolina and the nation. Recognizing the diversity of our student and faculty populations, we have designed a dynamic, multi-faceted FSU RISE Program with the overarching goal of increasing the number of well-prepared Biology and Chemistry FSU graduates entering graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. To achieve this goal, four objectives have been proposed: Objective 1: To strengthen the academic performance of Biology and Chemistry majors Objective 2: To provide students with meaningful research experiences Objective 3: To enhance the faculty's capability to provide research training Objective 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, beginning with the "Rising Scholars" pre-freshman summer orientation workshop, 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. Activities designed to meet student development Objectives 1 and 2 include: (1) a scientific communications course, enrichment seminars, academic support, and a GRE course; and (2) a biotechniques workshop, structured extramural and intramural research, and an interdisciplinary research-based course. Research training will be enhanced by instituting faculty development workshops and extramural research experiences (Objective 3), and the research environment at FSU will be improved with a Biomedical Research Colloquium, RISE website, and equipment upgrades (Objective 4). Performance measures and milestones have been developed to ensure that FSU RISE activities are meeting their expected objectives, and a formal evaluation of FSU RISE activities will be undertaken. The expected outcomes of the FSU RISE Program are: (1) at least 6 of the 8 RISE Scholars (75%) entering the program each year will persist in a science major from their initial declaration through graduation; (2) 100% of RISE Scholars completing the program will be accepted into graduate school following graduation from FSU; and 3) beginning with the first graduating class in year 3 of the FSU RISE Program, 6-8 graduates per year will enter a graduate program in the biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：费耶特维尔州立大学（FSU）是一个 公立综合性区域大学，16个组成部分之一 北卡罗来纳州系统的大学机构。历史悠久的黑人 拥有134年丰富的卓越教育历史的机构，FSU是 也是北卡罗来纳州和全国最多样化的大学之一。 认识到我们的学生和教师群体的多样性，我们有 设计了一个动态的，多方面的FSU RISE计划，其总体目标是 增加准备充分的生物和化学FSU毕业生的数量 进入生物医学研究生课程。为了实现这一目标， 提出了四个目标： 目标1：加强生物和化学的学习成绩 专业 目标2：为学生提供有意义的研究经验 目标3：提高教师提供研究培训的能力 目标4：改善研究培训环境 为每个级别设计了一系列分阶段开展的活动， 本科生的培养，从大学预科阶段开始， “崛起的学者”大一前夏季定向工作坊，通过 毕业典礼每年都会有新的学生作为持续的RISE学者加入 在他们的学习计划中前进。这一时间表提供了机会， 学生建立在他们参与的每个阶段发展的技能， FSU RISE计划，同时也允许教师有时间发展自己， 开展研究并提供研究培训。活动以满足 学生发展目标1和2包括：（1）科学交流 课程，丰富的研讨会，学术支持和GRE课程;以及（2） 生物技术研讨会，结构化的校外和校内研究，以及 跨学科研究型课程。研究培训将得到加强， 建立教师发展讲习班和校外研究经验 （目标3），FSU的研究环境将得到改善， 生物医学研究座谈会、RISE网站和设备升级（目标 4）。制定了业绩衡量标准和里程碑，以确保FSU RISE活动是否达到预期目标，并进行正式评估 将开展FSU RISE活动。FSU的预期成果 RISE计划是：（1）至少有6个8 RISE学者（75%）进入 计划每年将坚持在科学专业，从他们最初的 （2）100%的RISE学者完成了 计划将被接受进入研究生院毕业后，从FSU; 和3）从FSU RISE第三年的第一个毕业班开始 计划，每年6-8名毕业生将进入生物医学研究生课程 以理工科为重
