DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The FSU-RISE program is located at Fayetteville State University (FSU), the second-oldest historically black public institution of higher education in the state and one of the 17 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System. Based upon the success of the FSU-RISE program since its inception in 2002, this application proposes to expand the dynamic, multi-faceted program to include math and computer science majors in the third funding cycle. The overarching goal of FSU-RISE is to increase the number of well-prepared Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Math, and Computer Science FSU graduates entering graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences by having at least 75% (9 of 12) FSU-RISE graduates enroll in doctoral programs each year. To achieve this goal, four objectives have been proposed: (1) To enhance the academic preparation of biology, chemistry, psychology, math and computer science majors so that at least 80% of students earn a 3.0 GPA or better each year; (2) To provide students with research training and hands-on research experiences so that at least 85% of students will engage in research each year; (3) To enhance the capability of at least 75% (45 of 60) of faculty to provide biomedical and behavioral research training through development workshops each year; and (4) To improve the biomedical and behavioral research training environment at FSU by engaging at least 75% (45 of 60) of faculty in research-related activities each year. To address these objectives, a series of phased-in student development activities have been designed to strengthen the academic performance and research skills of students beginning with pre-freshmen and continuing through the senior year. Each year of participation in the program, students build upon skills developed and gain new experiences in preparation for competitive entry into graduate schools. Real world research experience is gained through extramural summer internships and intramural research activities. Faculty development and institutional development activities are designed to enhance the research training infrastructure at the institution. The expected outcomes of the continued successful implementation of the FSU-RISE Program are: (1) 75% of students entering the program each year will persist in the science, psychology, math and computer science major; (2) 100% of scholars completing the program will be accepted into a graduate program following graduation from FSU; and (3) each year, 75% of the FSU-RISE scholars who graduate will enter a doctoral program in biomedical/behavioral science fields. Formative and summative reports will be used to evaluate program performance measures and effectiveness.

描述（由申请人提供）：FSU- rise项目位于费耶特维尔州立大学（FSU），这是该州历史上第二古老的黑人公立高等教育机构，也是北卡罗来纳大学系统的17个组成机构之一。基于FSU-RISE计划自2002年启动以来的成功，本申请建议在第三个资助周期中扩展动态的，多方面的计划，包括数学和计算机科学专业。FSU- rise的首要目标是通过每年至少有75%（12名FSU- rise毕业生中的9名）参加博士课程，增加准备充分的生物学，化学，心理学，数学和计算机科学FSU毕业生进入生物医学和行为科学研究生课程的人数。为了实现这一目标，提出了四个目标：(1)加强生物、化学、心理学、数学和计算机科学专业的学术准备，使每年至少有80%的学生的平均成绩达到3.0或更高；(2)为学生提供研究培训和实践研究经验，使每年至少85%的学生从事研究；(3)每年通过发展研讨会，提高至少75%（60名教员中的45名）提供生物医学和行为研究培训的能力；(4)改善FSU的生物医学和行为研究培训环境，每年至少让75%（60名教员中的45名）参与与研究相关的活动。为了实现这些目标，我们设计了一系列分阶段的学生发展活动，以加强学生的学习成绩和研究技能，从大一预科开始，一直持续到大四。每年参加该计划，学生建立在技能发展和获得新的经验，为进入研究生院竞争做好准备。真实世界的研究经验是通过校外暑期实习和校内研究活动获得的。教师发展和机构发展活动旨在加强该机构的研究培训基础设施。继续成功实施fsu rise计划的预期结果是：(1)每年75%的入读该计划的学生将继续在科学，心理学，数学和计算机科学专业学习；(2) 100%完成课程的学生将在毕业后进入FSU的研究生课程；(3)每年75%的FSU-RISE毕业生将进入生物医学/行为科学领域的博士课程。形成性和总结性报告将用于评估项目的绩效指标和有效性。
