描述（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯学院在本科教育，特别是在科学方面建立了卓越的传统。超过50%的理科毕业生在获得学士学位后继续接受正规培训。莫尔豪斯学院使命的一个主要组成部分是增加从事研究工作的毕业生人数。虽然莫尔豪斯毕业生去卫生专业学校的人数多年来有所增加，毕业生去研究型研究生课程的人数有所减少。有这个拟议的MBRS计划的几个长期目标：增加莫尔豪斯学生成功录取在科学的数量，以增加追求职业生涯的毕业生在生物医学研究的数量，并增加教师进行生物医学研究的数量。学生发展活动包括夏季预新生学术研究和培训（艺术前）的经验，新生/大二研究培训经验，和初中/高中研究培训经验。这些经验将包括学术支持和指导，参加跨学科研究研讨会/课程，在所需的科学类学术辅导，指导研究经验在学年和夏季预科课程开始。教师发展活动包括合作研究培训经验。机构发展活动包括赞助方案司干事提供培训和促进教师的研究。这些活动将通过为本科生提供增强的研究培训机会，并为教师创造积极参与，展示和发表生物医学研究的机会，来改善莫尔豪斯的研究环境。此外，这些活动将有助于教师在追求调查发起的资金。评估程序将被用来评估学生和教师的成果发展活动的影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Morehouse College has established a tradition of excellence in undergraduate education, particularly in the sciences. More than 50% of science graduates continue their formal training beyond the baccalaureate degree. A major component of Morehouse College's mission is to increase the number of graduates pursuing a career in research. While the number of Morehouse graduates going to health professional schools has increased over the years, the number of graduates going to research oriented graduate programs has decreased. There are several long-term goals of this proposed MBRS program: to increase the number of Morehouse students successfully matriculating in the sciences, to increase the number of graduates pursuing careers in biomedical research, and to increase the number of faculty conducting biomedical research. Student developmental activities include a summer Pre-freshmen Academic Research and Training (Pre-Art) experience, Freshman/Sophomore Research Training experience, and Junior/Senior Research Training experience. These experiences will include academic support and mentoring, participation in an interdisciplinary research seminar/course, academic coaching in required science classes, mentored research experiences starting during the academic years and summers preparatory course. Faculty development activities include collaborative research training experiences. Institutional development activities include a Division Officer of Sponsored Programs to provide training and facilitate the research of faculty. These activities will enhance the research environment at Morehouse by providing enhanced research training opportunities of undergraduates, and by creating opportunities for faculty to actively engage, present and publish biomedical research. Further, these activities will assist faculty in pursuing investigator initiated funding. Evaluation procedures will be used to assess the impact of the developmental activities on student and faculty outcomes.
