MBRS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE)

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的莫尔豪斯学院MBRS RISE计划的目标是：增加莫尔豪斯学生在科学成功录取的人数，增加毕业生在生物医学研究中攻读研究生课程的人数，并加强莫尔豪斯学院和AUC的合作和研究基础设施。建议开展三项主要活动。活动一：新生/大二培训包括密集的学术咨询，在负责任的研究，学年和夏季研究行为的培训，并在生物医学研究研讨会系列的参与，旨在为学生在上层科学课程和密集的研究经验的成功做好准备。活动二：初级/高级培训旨在显著提高初级和高级科学专业的学术成就，保留和研究培训，包括学术和研究生院咨询，学年和夏季的密集研究经验，以及参加生物医学研究研讨会系列。所有学生将受益于同行和学科相关的小组和个人辅导，以及在团队和程序身份建设活动的参与。活动三包括旨在加强莫尔豪斯学院和亚特兰大大学中心（AUC）的合作和研究培训基础设施的六项举措。这些活动是：全司同行领导的团队学习守门人课程，夏季实验室技术课程开放给学生录取在莫尔豪斯研究培训计划，和研究生院图尔斯参观莫尔豪斯科学专业。AUC的活动包括生物医学研究研讨会系列，研究导师的发展活动，并为MBRS RISE学生参加U* 星星和NIMH-COR计划的合作培训。可衡量的目标是：1）80%的参与者将在两年内完成科学专业的大一/大二要求; 2）80%的RISE参与者将在入学后两年内完成初级/高级科学要求，3）70%的参与者将在完成可比大一/大二科学课程的所有Morehouse学生中排名前50百分位，4）80%将在莫尔豪斯学生完成可比课程的前50百分位，5）所有学生将实现研究发展目标，包括学术和夏季研究经验和演示文稿，由程序评估员评估，6）75%的参与者将在他们大四的春天被科学研究生课程接受，7）将完成Morehouse和AUC研究培训计划的合作研究培训活动的实施，包括在Morehouse学院MBRS RISE和AUC荣誉研究培训计划（U* 星星/NIMH-COR计划）中建立联合入学。 莫尔豪斯学院MBRS RISE计划的主要目标是增加少数民族攻读博士学位的人数。在生物医学领域这将通过三项主要活动来实现，这些活动旨在提供密集的生物医学研究培训经验，并增加莫尔豪斯和亚特兰大大学中心的合作和研究培训基础设施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the proposed Morehouse College MBRS RISE Program are to: Increase the number of Morehouse students successfully matriculating in the sciences, increase the number of graduates pursuing graduate study in biomedical research, and to enhance the collaboration and research infrastructure at Morehouse College and the AUC. Three major activities are proposed. Activity I: Freshman/Sophomore Training includes intensive academic advising, training in responsible conduct of research, academic year and summer research, and participation in a biomedical research seminar series and is designed to prepare students for success in upper level science courses and intensive research experiences. Activity II: Junior/Senior Training is designed to significantly enhance the academic achievement, retention and research training of junior and senior science majors, and includes academic and graduate school advising, intensive research experiences during the academic year and summer, and participation in a biomedical research seminar series. All students will benefit from peer and discipline related group and individual mentoring, as well as participation in team and program identity building activities. Activity III includes six initiatives designed to enhance collaboration and research training infrastructure at Morehouse College and the Atlanta University Center (AUC). These activities are: Division-wide peer led team learning in gate keeper courses, a summer laboratory techniques course open to students matriculating in Morehouse research training programs, and graduate school tours for Morehouse science majors. AUC activities include a biomedical research seminar series, research preceptors' development activities, and collaborative training for MBRS RISE students participating in the U*STAR and NIMH-COR Programs. The measurable objectives are: 1) 80% of participants will complete the freshmen/sophomore requirements for sciences majors within two years; 2) 80% of RISE participants will complete the junior/senior science requirements within the second two years of matriculation, 3) 70% of the participants will perform in the top 50th percentile of all Morehouse students completing comparable freshmen/sophomore science courses, 4) 80% will perform in the top 50th percentile for Morehouse students completing comparable courses, 5) All students will achieve research development goals, including academic and summer research experiences and presentations, as assessed by the program evaluator, 6) 75% of participants will be accepted by a graduate program in the sciences during the spring of their senior years, 7) Implementation of collaborative research training activities by Morehouse and AUC research training programs will be completed, including establishment of joint matriculation in the Morehouse College MBRS RISE and AUC honors research training programs (U*STAR/NIMH-COR Programs). The major goal of the Morehouse College MBRS RISE Program is to increase the numbers of underrepresented minorities pursuing Ph.D.'s in the biomedical sciences. This will be achieved through three major activities designed to provide intensive biomedical research training experiences and increase the collaboration and research training infrastructure at Morehouse and the Atlanta University Center.
