DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the MORE Division for MBRS programs and the Brooklyn College RISE program is to increase the numbers of underrepresented faculty and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research and to broaden the opportunities for these individuals to participate in biomedical and behavioral research through the provision of integrated developmental activities to increase knowledge, skills and information as students move from undergraduate status into doctoral programs. Diversification of the science workforce is an important national public health goal. Our RISE program proposes to improve on our earlier positive impacts on undergraduate URM success by extending efforts to assist RISE students develop strong academic knowledge and skills and motivation to enter science careers through a series of linked developmental activities and milestones. In response to a needs analysis and program evaluation, a plan for extending undergraduate activities and introducing doctoral students to the program is proposed. The key activities for the undergraduate component of the program are a comprehensive 6-week pre-freshman summer program concentrating on orientation to the demands of college-level work in the sciences; introduction to peer-assisted methods to improve academic outcomes in a for-credit precalculus class; and a variety of workshops to help students adjust to college, develop skills in communication, information and computer literacy, begin to be exposed to information about research careers, and above all, improve academic outcomes compared with control subjects. Many of these activities continue in a tightly integrated Learning Community and academic support throughout the 4 years of college. Students will begin to work in faculty labs to develop information about research and research careers, and will be encouraged to get external summer research experience. They also will be exposed in a series of workshops on information on responsible conduct of research. Work on preparing for graduate school and standardized tests in support of successful applications to graduate school are also part of the program. The graduate component includes admission of a new cohort of RISE doctoral students, academic support, and excellent research training to allow them to progress successfully and without delay to completion of the doctoral degree and movement into postdoctoral and research scientist positions after graduation.

描述（由申请人提供）：MBRS计划和布鲁克林大学崛起计划的总体目标是增加从事生物医学和行为研究的学生的数量和从事生物医学和行为研究的学生的数量，以扩大这些人参与生物医学和行为研究的机会，从而通过提供集成的发展活动来增加知识和信息，以使学生成为学生的发展，并将其作为跨学者的信息进行研究。科学劳动力的多元化是重要的国家公共卫生目标。我们的Rise计划建议通过扩大努力来帮助崛起的学生发展强大的学术知识和技能，并通过一系列相关的发展活动和里程碑来发展科学职业，以改善我们对本科URM成功的积极影响。为了响应需求分析和计划评估，提出了一项扩展本科活动并向博士生介绍该计划的计划。 该计划的本科组成部分的关键活动是一项为期6周的季前前夏季计划，集中于科学中大学水平工作的需求；同行辅助方法的简介，以改善信用precalculus类中的学术成果；以及各种讲习班，以帮助学生适应大学，发展沟通，信息和计算机素养的技能，开始接触有关研究职业的信息，最重要的是，与对照科目相比，可以改善学术成果。这些活动中的许多活动在整个大学的四年中都在紧密整合的学习社区和学术支持中继续进行。学生将开始在教师实验室工作，以开发有关研究和研究职业的信息，并将鼓励获得外部夏季研究经验。他们还将在一系列有关负责任的研究信息的讲习班中暴露。该计划的一部分也是为研究生院做准备和标准化测试以支持成功申请的研究生。研究生的组成部分包括接受新的崛起博士学位学生，学术支持和出色的研究培训，使他们能够成功地进步，而不必延迟完成博士学位，并在毕业后进入博士后和研究科学家职位。
