Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Option II at Jackson State Univers

描述(由申请人提供)：杰克逊州立大学是一所历史悠久的黑人大学(HBCU)，位于密西西比州首府。佐治亚州立大学在促进少数民族学生从事研究事业方面有着丰富的历史。这项提案将在这一历史的基础上，为服务不足的学生群体提供生物医学指导。这是大学的愿景，尤其是CSET，将这些传统上不接触科学的学生培养成该领域的领导者。JSU致力于将这些充满潜力的学生培养成生物医学研究人员。我们意识到来自URM的科学家的缺乏，并相信美国科学的发展一定要从这群学生身上做出重大贡献。我们认为，这项提案将涉及对发展下一代科学劳动力至关重要的三个领域。第一个原则是，一个高质量的生物医学科学发展计划必须有严格的课程和教育内容。第二项原则是纳入与有形健康问题直接相关的研究。第三个原则是建立强有力和富有同情心的研究、指导和关系。这项提议将通过实施研究队列制度利用点对点学习系统。该提案还将分享更严格的课程，专注于为学生做好准备。最后，该提案将使学生接触到生物医学研究的更广泛影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Jackson State University, a Historically Black University (HBCU), is located in the capital city in the state of Mississippi. JSU has a rich history of promoting minority students to research careers. This proposal will build on this history by providing biomedical guidance to an underserved population of students. It is the vision of the University and especially CSET to develop these students, who would traditionally not be exposed to science, to be leaders in the field. JSU is dedicated to growing these students, full of potential, into biomedical researchers. We are aware of the lack of scientists from URM and believe that growth of science in the U.S. must have significant contributions from this population of students. We believe that there are three areas that are crucial to the development of the next generation of scientific workforce that will be addressed in this proposal. The first principle is that a quality biomedical science development program must have a rigorous curriculum and education component. The second principle is the incorporation of directly relevant research to tangible health problems. The third principle is the creation of strong and compassionate research mentoring and relationships. This proposal will take advantage of the peer-to-peer learning systems through the implementation of the research cohort system. The proposal will also share a more rigorous curriculum focused on preparing the student. Finally, the proposal will expose students to the broader impact of biomedical research.
