DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Medgar Evers College (MEC) of the City University of New York was established to serve as an anchor and provide quality, affordable higher education to Central Brooklyn residents, who often face common urban challenges: high poverty, crime, and unemployment, struggling K-12 public schools, and a dearth of resources. Ninety-eight percent of the college's 7,000 degree-seeking students come from populations that are underrepresented in the sciences and almost all represent the first generation attending college from their families. MEC has embarked on an innovative and substantial institutional collaboration with The State University of New York Downstate Medical Center campus located within 2 miles. The proposed MBRS RISE program is designed to leverage this institutional collaboration by facilitating students' ability to pursue the highest levels of academic and professional achievement in scientific disciplines while building MEC longer- term research and training capacity. This MEC MBRS RISE program will enhance the general institutional research culture and in particular, research training among MEC undergraduates, resulting in increases in the number of students pursuing doctoral study in the biomedical sciences. The program will provide mentored research experiences and support 16 MEC undergraduates per year with the expected outcome of at least 75% of participants advancing to doctoral study in the biomedical sciences with a completion rate of at least 80%. MEC RISE students will be selected from an initial applicant pool of at least 35 qualified student applicants, emanating from a potential applicant pool of >400 based on minimum 2.8 GPA and strong research career interest gleaned from interviews and student interaction. Each participant will be placed in an academic year internship with a research mentor (principal investigator) in laboratories in the near term at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, with the longer-term objective of expanding placement opportunities to productive laboratories at MEC. A cohort of at least 20 MEC RISE Associates will parallel RISE Scholars participation in all MEC RISE activities, except that they will not receive direct salary support for academic year research training. Research training for RISE Associates will be focused on summer research opportunities at T32 granted institutions and travel to scientific meetings underwritten by meeting based travel awards. Participants will attend 1-3 to regional/national scientific meetings, requiring them to submit posters/presentations to at least one meeting. The program will provide an enhanced curriculum aimed at preparing MEC RISE students for admission into competitive graduate (PhD and MD/PhD) programs in the biomedical sciences by offering mandatory developmental workshops/courses; enhance the institutional research culture at MEC through leveraging the MEC RISE program by hosting an annual on-campus symposium to demonstrate student research achievement at MEC. This program will leverage the institutional relationship with SUNY Downstate Medical Center that serves as the foundation for near-term MEC RISE student research training to develop inter institutional faculty research collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约城市大学的Medgar Evers学院（MEC）的成立是为了作为一个锚，并提供高质量，负担得起的高等教育，布鲁克林中部居民，谁往往面临共同的城市挑战：高贫困，犯罪和失业，挣扎K-12公立学校，和资源匮乏。该学院7,000名攻读学位的学生中有98%来自科学领域代表性不足的人群，几乎所有人都是家庭中第一代上大学的人。MEC已经开始与位于2英里内的纽约州下医学中心校园的州立大学进行创新和实质性的机构合作。拟议的MBRS RISE计划旨在通过促进学生在科学学科中追求最高水平的学术和专业成就的能力，同时建立MEC的长期研究和培训能力，来利用这种机构合作。这个MEC MBRS RISE计划将加强一般机构的研究文化，特别是MEC本科生的研究培训，从而增加攻读生物医学博士学位的学生人数。该计划将提供指导研究经验，并支持每年16名MEC本科生，预计至少有75%的参与者进入生物医学科学博士研究，完成率至少为80%。MEC RISE学生将从至少35名合格学生申请人的初始申请人池中选出，这些申请人来自基于最低2.8 GPA和从面试和学生互动中收集的强烈研究职业兴趣的>400名潜在申请人池。每个参与者将被放置在一个学年实习与研究导师（首席研究员）在实验室在短期内在纽约州立大学下州医学中心，与扩大就业机会，生产实验室在MEC的长期目标。一个至少20名MEC RISE协会成员的队列将平行RISE学者参与所有MEC RISE活动，除了他们不会获得学年研究培训的直接工资支持。RISE协会的研究培训将侧重于T32授予机构的夏季研究机会，并参加由会议旅行奖励所承保的科学会议。参加者将参加1-3次区域/国家科学会议，要求他们至少向一次会议提交海报/介绍。该计划将提供增强的课程，旨在通过提供强制性的发展研讨会/课程，为MEC RISE学生进入生物医学科学的竞争性研究生（博士和MD/博士）课程做好准备;通过利用MEC RISE计划，通过举办年度校园研讨会来增强MEC的机构研究文化，以展示MEC的学生研究成果。该计划将利用与SUNY Downstate Medical Center的机构关系，作为近期MEC RISE学生研究培训的基础，以发展机构间教师研究合作。
