DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over 75% of students at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) come from the 21 Northeast North Carolina Counties (NENC). The citizens of NENC are among the least educated, least skilled and most impoverished. The population is rural, minority, and poor. The per capita personal income of one these counties, Halifax, is $13,810 while the state average per capita income is $30,000. (North Carolina 2000 Census) About 19.4% of families and 23.9% of the population were below the poverty line. Because the majority of our students come from the impoverished and rural community, they are largely first generation college freshmen with no academic or scientific role models. Consequently, they are not motivated to seek to pursue advanced degrees. Thus, low numbers of students in biology, chemistry, physics, psychology and mathematics pursue PhDs in the biomedical/behavioral sciences. The Elizabeth City State University Support Program for Academic and Research Enhancement (E- SPARE) project is designed to assist undergraduates develop competence within their science discipline; confidence in their abilities, resiliency to challenges in the laboratory or in and outside the classroom; and leadership skills. Divided into Lower and Upper Division Sections, the proposed program will provide a strong science curriculum enhanced by well-designed co-curricular activities that will engage participants in the scientific and the research enterprise. These activities include: (1) research opportunities under mentorship of faculty with externally funding at ECSU and research intensive institutions, (2) participation in concurrent supplemental instruction to enhance achievement in the major, (3) special workshops and motivational seminars, (3) in-your-face academic and career advisement, (4) networking through the deliberate interaction of E-SPARE participants with science faculty, successful ECSU students/alumni and prominent visiting scientists, (5) participation in biomedical science seminar series, workshops and scientific research bowl competitions, (6) presenting papers at national science symposia, (7) publishing papers at biomedical science journals, (8) engaging in activities that make each participant very competitive for acceptance into strong PhD programs in the USA. A total of 56 participants will be enrolled over the 4-year funding period with 8 participants in year one and 16 in subsequent years. Expected outcome: At least 49 (75%) will be accepted into MS/PhD programs; 28 (50%) enrolling in competitive MS/PhD programs after graduating from ECSU.

描述(由申请人提供)：伊丽莎白城州立大学(ECSU)超过75%的学生来自北卡罗来纳州东北部的21个县(NENC)。NENC的公民是受教育程度最低、技能最低和最贫穷的人之一。人口是农村的、少数民族的和贫穷的。其中哈利法克斯的人均收入为13,810美元，而该州的人均收入为30,000美元。(北卡罗来纳州2000年人口普查)约19.4%的家庭和23.9%的人口生活在贫困线以下。由于我们的大多数学生来自贫困和农村社区，他们大多是第一代大学新生，没有学术或科学榜样。因此，他们没有动力去追求更高的学位。因此，生物、化学、物理、心理学和数学专业的学生攻读生物医学/行为科学博士学位的人数较少。伊丽莎白城州立大学加强学术和研究支持计划(E-SPARE)项目旨在帮助本科生培养其科学学科内的能力、对自己能力的信心、对实验室内或课堂内外挑战的适应能力以及领导技能。该计划分为下级和上级两个部分，将提供强大的科学课程，并通过精心设计的联合课程活动来加强，这些活动将使参与者参与到科学和研究事业中来。这些活动包括：(1)在ECSU和研究密集型机构的教师指导下的研究机会，(2)参与同时进行的补充教学，以提高专业成绩，(3)特别研讨会和励志研讨会，(3)面对面的学术和职业建议，(4)通过电子备用参与者与理科教师、成功的ECSU学生/校友和著名访问科学家的刻意互动建立网络，(5)参加生物医学系列研讨会、讲习班和科学研究碗比赛，(6)在国家科学研讨会上发表论文，(7)在生物医学期刊上发表论文，(8)参与活动，使每个参与者在被美国强大的博士项目录取方面具有很强的竞争力。在为期4年的筹资期间，共有56名参与者参加，第一年有8名参与者，随后几年有16名参与者。预期结果：至少有49人(75%)将被MS/PhD项目录取；28人(50%)将在ECSU毕业后进入竞争激烈的MS/PhD项目。
