DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Students at the University of Guam (UOG) are a significant source of Pacific Islanders and Filipinos (underrepresented minorities) for biomedical Ph.D. programs. The core activity, student research, following best practices in Stateside internships, includes enrichment, e.g., responsible conduct of research, effective mentor relationships, and assistance with graduate applications and networking. An increase is proposed from 5 to 6 undergraduate student research assistants, along with the 4 M.S. students (a master's at UOG is a stepping-stone to a Ph.D., not a terminal degree). Increases from 4 to 8 undergraduate summer research experiences and from 2 to 5 hosts annually have been arranged with research-intensive universities. Research mentors at UOG include the world-class UOG Marine Laboratory. Through our 5-pronged approach to improving the "pipeline," the number of B.A.s to Ph.D. programs will double, totaling 18 to 20 during the grant. Activity 2 incorporates (a) quantitative modeling into molecular genetics and evolution courses and into student research, and (b) off-island training for faculty and students. [Activity 3 deleted.] Activity 4 prepares students for the existing biometrics course, raising the baseline of prepared students from 0 to 80%. Activity 5 strengthens student capacity to (a) read, write, and present science effectively and efficiently (skills linked to GRE and graduate school success) and (b) learn the principles of conducting research responsibly. GRE average baseline percentiles are 16th Writing (goal 70th), 49th Verbal (goal 69th), 34th Quantitative (goal 50th). All faculty will continue to develop research-teaching capacity via workshops, courses, conferences, and collaborations. Through the curriculum and 19 research apprenticeships per year, UOG RISE will continue developing biomedical research capacity. About 70 biology students a year (85% underrepresented minorities) will benefit from the proposed courses that will become required by the Biology curriculum. UOG's Land Grant mission includes regionally relevant research, much of which contributes to public health. Student motivation for biomedical research rises dramatically upon seeing their potential for helping the high percentage of our Island people afflicted with diabetes, cancer, heart, and dementia diseases. The UOG RISE Program supports their vision with four tightly integrated components, in alignment with Bio2010, by strengthening the Biology Program's capacity in research, quantitative, genetics, and communication skills.

描述（由申请人提供）：关岛大学（UOG）的学生是太平洋岛民和菲律宾人（代表性不足的少数民族）的重要来源。程序.核心活动，学生的研究，在美国本土实习的最佳做法，包括丰富，例如，负责任的研究行为，有效的导师关系，并与研究生申请和网络援助。建议增加5至6名本科生研究助理，沿着4名硕士。学生（UOG的硕士学位是获得博士学位的垫脚石，而不是终端）。增加从4到8本科夏季研究经验和从2到5主机每年已安排与研究密集型大学。UOG的研究导师包括世界级的UOG海洋实验室。通过我们的五管齐下的方法来改善“管道”，学士学位到博士学位的人数。计划将增加一倍，总计18至20在赠款期间。活动2将（a）定量建模纳入分子遗传学和进化课程以及学生研究，（B）为教职员工和学生提供岛外培训。[活动3已删除。]活动4使学生为现有的生物识别课程做好准备，将准备学生的基线从0提高到80%。活动5加强学生的能力（a）阅读，写作，并有效和高效地提出科学（与GRE和研究生院的成功相关的技能）和（B）学习负责任地进行研究的原则。GRE平均基线成绩是写作第16名（目标第70名），口头第49名（目标第69名），定量第34名（目标第50名）。所有教师将继续通过研讨会，课程，会议和合作来发展研究教学能力。通过课程和每年19个研究学徒，UOG RISE将继续发展生物医学研究能力。每年约有70名生物学学生（85%为少数民族）将从生物学课程所要求的拟议课程中受益。 UOG的土地赠与使命包括区域相关研究，其中大部分有助于公共卫生。学生对生物医学研究的积极性在看到他们帮助我们岛上高比例的糖尿病，癌症，心脏病和痴呆症患者的潜力后急剧上升。UOG RISE计划通过加强生物学计划在研究，定量，遗传学和沟通技能方面的能力，与Bio2010保持一致，通过四个紧密集成的组件来支持他们的愿景。
