Long Island University- Brooklyn MBRS- RISE Program

描述（由申请人提供）：长岛大学布鲁克林（LIU-B）MBRS RISE计划旨在补充现有的努力，以提高学生在STEM学科的看门人课程中的学术成就，从而扩大合格学生的数量，这些学生有动力在生物医学科学领域从事博士研究和研究相关职业。旨在提高学习成绩的活动的核心是一个以同伴为基础的学习社区试点方案，该机构将提供全力支持，以证明其承诺。 将实施一个非常强大的研究培训计划，将本科生和硕士生的LIU-B学生放在生物，化学和生物化学系以及药学院的资助和积极出版的LIU-B教师的实验室。此外，我们建议的培训教师80%来自地区研究密集型机构（罗格斯大学/UMDNJ，哥伦比亚大学，西奈山医学院，阿尔伯特爱因斯坦医学院，斯托尼布鲁克大学和纽约大学）。全年的研究培训环境，以及其他支持活动，包括参加旨在提高科学阅读和写作的课程和讲习班，提供研究实验室技术、批判性思维和考试以及负责任的研究行为方面的培训，将为我们的MBRS RISE学生提供准备水平，以实现至少60%的参与本科生和80%的参与本科生的既定计划成果。的硕士生过渡到博士研究在生物医学科学与至少90%的博士学位完成率。 在指导和代表性不足的少数民族学生培训领域的教师发展形成了这个计划的一个宝贵组成部分。科学教育文献中的评估计划评估了学生自我效能感的增长，并证明了由于参与LIU-RISE的组成部分和补充发展活动而与一般学术和学科特定领域的学业成绩呈正相关关系。活动，被设计为该计划的一个组成部分。 这些活动的目的都是为了超越15个学生名额，以产生重大的机构影响，从而在科学劳动力的多样性增加赋予附加值。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Long Island University Brooklyn (LIU-B) MBRS RISE program is designed to complement existing efforts to enhance student academic achievement in gatekeeper courses in the STEM disciplines thus expanding the pool of qualified students motivated to pursue doctoral studies and research related careers in the biomedical sciences. Central to the activities aimed at enhancing academic performance is a peer based learning community pilot program that the institution will provide full support as a demonstration for its commitment. A very strong research-training program will be implemented that places undergraduate and Master's LIU-B students in the laboratories of funded and actively publishing LIU-B faculty in the departments of biology, Chemistry and biochemistry and the School of Pharmacy. In addition, 80 % of our proposed training faculty comes from area Research Intensive Institutions (Rutgers University/UMDNJ, Columbia University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Stony Brook University, and New York University). The year-round research training environment, in addition to other support activities that include participation in courses and workshops designed to enhance scientific reading and writing, provide training in research laboratory techniques, critical thinking and test taking, and the responsible conduct of research, will provide the level of preparation for our MBRS RISE students to accomplish the stated program outcome of at least 60% of participating undergraduates and 80% of Master's students transitioning to doctoral study in the biomedical sciences with at least a 90% rate of doctoral degree completion. Faculty development in areas of mentoring and underrepresented minority student training forms a valuable component of this program. An evaluation plan that is ensconced in the scientific education literature that assesses the growth of student self-efficacy, and proven positive correlation to academic performance for general academic and subject specific areas as a consequence of their participation in components of the LIU-RISE and complementary developmental activities, is designed as an integral part of this program. The activities are all designed to extend beyond the 15 student slots to have a significant institutional impact, thus imparting added value in the increased diversity of the scientific workforce.
