Long Island University- Brooklyn MBRS- RISE Program

描述(由申请人提供)：长岛大学布鲁克林(刘-B)MBRS RISE计划旨在补充现有的努力，以提高学生在STEM学科的看门人课程的学术成就，从而扩大有动机在生物医学科学方面攻读博士学位和研究相关职业的合格学生池。旨在提高学业成绩的活动的核心是一个基于同伴的学习社区试点计划，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，将本科生和硕士学生安排在生物、化学和生物化学系以及药学院资助和积极出版的刘-B教员的实验室中。此外，我们80%的拟议培训教师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、石溪大学和纽约大学)。全年的研究培训环境，除了其他支持活动，包括参加旨在提高科学阅读和写作能力的课程和研讨会，提供研究实验室技术、批判性思维和考试培训，以及负责任的研究行为，还将为我们的MBR Rise学生提供准备水平，以实现至少60%的参与本科生和80%的硕士学生过渡到生物医学博士学习的规定项目成果，并至少完成90%的博士学位毕业率。 在辅导和代表不足的少数族裔学生培训领域的教师发展构成了这一方案的重要组成部分。科学教育文献中包含一项评估计划，该计划评估学生自我效能感的发展，并证明由于他们参与了刘-RISE的组成部分和补充的发展活动，学生在一般学术和学科特定领域的学习成绩与学习成绩呈正相关，作为该计划的组成部分。 这些活动的目的都是为了扩大到15个学生名额之外，以产生重大的机构影响，从而在增加的科学劳动力多样性中增加附加值。

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.
