项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): At NAU, our goals are to increase the academic performance, retention, and graduation rates of underrepresented minority students, especially Native Americans, who are or who could become interested in careers in biomedical sciences. As a result of this program, we hope to increase rates of acceptance into and completion of post- graduate degree programs in biomedical sciences at NAU as well as at other institutions across the nation. To achieve these goals, we have implemented a Minority Student Development Program (MSD). The MSD Program includes research participation, academic enrichment, academic support and faculty development activities. The specific aims of the MSD program are: 1) to provide opportunities for minority students to become involved in biomedical research projects with selected NAU faculty. Students will be encouraged to give presentations on their research at national meetings and to publish the results of their research in peer-reviewed journals. Changes from the previous funding cycle include an increase in participating faculty from 16 to 30 and development of two new courses, "Introduction to Biomedical Research" and "Research Rotations" that will provide MSD students with more information about careers in biomedical research. 2) to implement academic enrichment programs for minority students that will strengthen their academic performance in gatekeeper courses in science and mathematics. Continuing activities include Supplemental Instruction (SI), faculty-led recitations and a readiness test. We also propose the development of a new course, "Skills for Science" which will target students whose readiness scores indicate that they may not succeed in gatekeeper courses. 3) to maintain an academic support system for minority students. This support system will include a central meeting place where students can meet with academic advisors and Supplemental Instruction leaders. Through this support system, academic advisors will provide academic advisement and personal counseling for MSD students, and provide them with information about research participation and academic enrichment opportunities that are available through the MSD program. 4) to provide professional development for faculty who teach gatekeeper courses in biomedical sciences. Faculty will reform their courses by using new models of teaching that facilitate increased learning by underrepresented students, especially Native Americans. Ultimately, the faculty are catalysts for the persistence of the MSD program at NAU.

描述(由申请人提供)：在NAU，我们的目标是增加代表不足的学生的学业成绩、留校率和毕业率少数民族学生，尤指美洲原住民，他们是或可能成为对生物医学科学领域的职业感兴趣。作为这个项目的结果，我们希望提高研究生的录取率和完成率北卡罗来纳大学和其他机构的生物医学学位课程在全国范围内。为了实现这些目标，我们实施了少数人学生发展计划(MSD)。MSD计划包括研究参与、学术充实、学术支持和教师发展活动。MSD计划的具体目标是： 1)为少数族裔学生提供参与与新奥尔良大学精选教员合作的生物医学研究项目。学生们将成为鼓励在国家会议上介绍其研究情况，并在同行评议的期刊上发表他们的研究结果。更改自上一个资助周期包括将参与的教职员工人数从16人增加到到30岁，开发两门新课程--《生物医学研究导论》和“研究轮换”，这将为MSD学生提供更多信息关于生物医学研究的职业。 2)为少数民族学生实施学业充实计划，加强他们在科学和技术方面的看门人课程的学习成绩数学。持续活动包括补充指令(SI)、由教员主导的复习和准备测试。并提出了今后的发展方向一门名为“科学技能”的新课程，目标是就绪性分数表明，他们可能不会在看门人课程中取得成功。 3)维护对少数民族学生的学业支持制度。这一支持系统将包括一个中央会议场所，学生可以在那里会面学术顾问和补充教学负责人。通过这种支持系统中，学术顾问将提供学术咨询和个人为MSD学生提供咨询，并为他们提供有关研究的信息通过以下途径提供的参与和学术充实机会 MSD程序。 4)为教授看门人课程的教师提供专业发展在生物医学科学方面。教职员工将使用新模式改革课程促进代表不足的学生增加学习的教学，尤其是印第安人。归根结底，教职员工是 NAU的MSD计划的持久性。
