Biomedical Research at Barry University

描述(由申请者提供)：作为一所Rise Option II院校，巴里大学继续在缩小UR和非UR学生在生物医学科学博士学位完成方面的全国差距方面取得进展。这一计划提供了一种跨学科的方法，以三个主要主题为中心，很好地整合和监控发展活动：早期研究性学习、课程改进和研究参与。RISE毕业生在完成学士学位后直接进入生物医学博士项目；我们的毕业生正处于不同的阶段，许多人即将完成博士学位。在资助期间，我们做出了系统的努力，为UR学生的准备制定了一个有效的、全面的计划。2013-2018年这一资助期间要实现的总体目标和具体可衡量目标是加强学术竞争力和增加对生物医学研究的参与。RISE通过科学研究机会和方向(ROADS)为一年级和二年级学生提供真正的跨学科小组研究丰富的经验，之后他们可以成为积极的RISE参与者。将学员提升为大四、生物和化学专业的大二学生，完成巴里大学的暑期研究起步研讨会，并在巴里为暑期研究体验(SRE)做准备，为拥有研究密集型环境的机构提供研究基础。RISE参与者报名参加以问题为基础的学习“新闻中的科学和数学”课程；参加卓越辅导、时间管理和研究生院讲习班，并在科学会议上提出研究报告。通过分析可测量目标的纵向数据，确定朝着为参与者进入生物医学博士项目做准备的目标取得的进展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a RISE Option II institution, Barry University continues to make strides in reducing the national gap in the completion of PhD degrees between UR and non-UR students in biomedical science. This program provides an interdisciplinary approach of well integrated and monitored development activities centered on three main themes: Early Inquiry-Based Research Learning, Curriculum Improvement, and Research Engagement. RISE graduates upon completion of the bachelor's degree have directly matriculated into biomedical PhD programs; our graduates are at different stages of the pipeline with many nearing completion of the PhD. Over the funding period we have made systematic efforts to produce an effective, comprehensive plan for preparing UR students. The overall goals and specific measurable objectives to be accomplished for this funding period, 2013-2018, are to strengthen academic competitiveness and increase engagement in biomedical research. RISE offers an authentic interdisciplinary group research-rich experience for freshmen and sophomores through Research Opportunities and Directions in Science (ROADS) after which they can become active RISE participants. RISE participants as sophomores through seniors, biology and chemistry majors, complete a summer Research Beginnings Workshop and Build Foundations in Research (BFoRe) at Barry in preparation for the Summer Research Experience (SRE) at institutions with research-intensive environments. RISE participants enroll in the problem-based learning "Science and Math in the News" course; participate in tutoring for excellence, time-management and graduate school workshops and present research at scientific meetings. Progress toward the goal of preparing participants to enter biomedical PhD programs is ascertained by analyzing longitudinal data on the measurable objectives.
