MBRS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE)

描述(由申请者提供)：莫尔豪斯学院MBR RISE计划的目标是：增加莫尔豪斯学院成功录取理科学生的数量，增加在生物医学研究方面攻读研究生课程的毕业生数量，并加强莫尔豪斯学院和澳大利亚大学的合作和研究基础设施。提出了三项主要活动。活动一：大一/大二的培训包括密集的学术咨询、负责任的研究行为培训、学年和暑期研究以及参加生物医学研究研讨会系列，旨在为学生在高级科学课程和密集的研究经验中取得成功做好准备。活动II：初级/高级培训旨在显著提高初级和高级理科专业学生的学术成就、保留和研究培训，包括学术和研究生院建议、学年和暑期强化研究经验以及参加一系列生物医学研究研讨会。所有学生都将受益于与同伴和纪律相关的小组和个人指导，以及参与团队和项目认同感建立活动。活动三包括六项倡议，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。这些活动是：全部门同行领导的看门人课程团队学习，向参加莫尔豪斯研究培训计划的学生开放的夏季实验室技术课程，以及莫尔豪斯理科专业研究生的参观活动。AUC的活动包括一系列生物医学研究研讨会、研究导师发展活动，以及为参加U*STAR和NIMH-COR项目的MBR RISE学生提供合作培训。可测量的目标是：1)80%的参与者将在两年内完成理科专业一、二年级的要求；2)80%的RISE参与者将在入学的第二年内完成初级/高级理科要求，3)70%的参与者将在完成可比较的一年级/大二理科课程的所有莫尔豪斯学生中表现在前50%，4)80%的参与者将在完成可比较课程的莫尔豪斯学生的前50%的百分位数中表现，5)所有学生将达到研究发展目标，包括学术和暑期研究经验和报告，由项目评估员评估，6)75%的参与者将被高年级春季的理科研究生项目录取，7)将完成莫尔豪斯学院和AUC研究培训计划的合作研究培训活动，包括在莫尔豪斯学院MBR Rise和AUC荣誉研究培训计划(U*STAR/NIMH-COR计划)中建立联合招生。 莫尔豪斯学院MBR Rise计划的主要目标是增加攻读S生物医学博士学位的少数族裔人数。这将通过三项主要活动实现，旨在提供密集的生物医学研究培训经验，并加强莫尔豪斯学院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.
