NMSU RISE to the Postdoctorate Program: Option III

描述(由申请者提供)：新墨西哥州立大学RISE计划通过支持NMSU学生完成博士学位，使健康科学家社区多样化，这些学生是在生物医学/生物行为研究中代表性不足的群体的成员。国家密歇根州立大学之所以能够实现这一目标，是因为该校作为一所博士、研究密集型(NIH-INBRE)、土地补助、少数族裔(西班牙裔)服务大学的独特地位，拥有多样化的学生人口和一批有成就的导师。为期12年的NMSU Rise研究教育计划的主要成果是：NMSU博士毕业后87%的人保留在科学职业生涯中；NMSU博士生在完成学位后保留97%的人；学生撰写的出版物；学生独立支持的成就；学生研究优秀的国家认可；以及学生进入R1机构的博士后职位。根据RISE方案III，本申请申请资金继续每年培训12名RISE到博士后(RISE)研究生。该项目的目标是：1)RTP/MS将使75%的MS学者完成MS学位并随后进入博士课程；2)RTP/PD将使90%的博士学者完成博士学位并随后进入博士后职位。NMSU Rise计划的学生通过指导研究经验、专业发展活动、正规课程、发展尖端量化和技术技能的科学研讨会，以及通过指导扩大他们的研究社交网络，为他们的职业生涯的下一步做好准备。三项发展活动将提供核心技能，为学生在不同的科学领域和职业生涯中取得成功做好准备：活动1，21世纪的研究领导力，开发专业技能，最大限度地提高研究生产率，资助成功，并在5年内完成学位；活动2，为教授做准备，提供在教师职位上取得学术成功所必需的核心教学和指导技能；活动3，初创企业(通过联合伙伴关系开展学生培训和研究)提供科学和技术研讨会，并通过与R1大学系主任、项目主任和中心领导人建立正式网络，加强学生的非现场研究培训。RTP学生通过准备个性化的发展计划和用于年度审查的电子专业档案，以及通过提交奖学金和实习申请来引导学生走向职业独立。RTP学生活动通过提供课程或在研究生院和国立墨尔本州立大学教学学院组织的全大学讲习班上传播来制度化。学生参加研究中负责任行为的正式教育，并通过教师指导实践和与初创企业网络中的同事合作开展的教育活动来加强这一教育。对方案实践和结果的评估和评价被纳入方案要素的设计和持续改进。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New Mexico State University RISE Program is diversifying the community of health scientists by supporting PhD degree completion by NMSU students who are members of groups underrepresented in biomedical/biobehavioral research. NMSU is able to achieve this goal because of the institution's unique status as a doctoral, research-intensive (NIH-INBRE), land grant, minority (Hispanic) serving university with a diverse student population and a cadre of accomplished mentors. Key outcomes of the twelve-year NMSU RISE research education program are: 87% retention to science careers after NMSU PhD completion; 97% retention to degree completion by NMSU PhD students; student-authored publications; achievement of student independent support; national recognition for student research excellence; and student entry to postdoctoral positions in R1 institutions. This application requests funds to continue to train twelve RISE to the Postdoctorate (RTP) graduate students yearly under RISE Option III. The Project Aims are: 1) RTP/MS will enable completion of the MS degree by 75% of the MS Scholars and their subsequent entry to PhD programs; 2) RTP/PhD will enable completion of a PhD by 90% of the PhD Scholars and their subsequent entry to postdoctoral positions. Students in the NMSU RISE Program are prepared for the next step of their career through mentored research experiences, professional development activities, formal courses, scientific workshops that develop cutting edge quantitative and technical skills, and through the guided expansion of their research social network. Three developmental activities will provide core skills to prepare students for success in different scientific fields and careers: Activity 1, Research Leadership in the 21st Century, develops the professional skills that maximize research productivity, funding success, and degree completion in 5 years; Activity 2, Preparing for the Professoriate, provides core teaching and mentorship skills essential for academic success in faculty positions; Activity 3, START-UP (Student Training and Research through United Partnerships) provides scientific and technical workshops and enhanced student off-site research training by establishing a formal network with R1 university department heads, program directors, and center leaders. RTP students are guided toward career independence through preparation of individualized development plans and electronic professional portfolios for yearly review, and through submission of fellowship and internship applications. RTP student activities are institutionalized through course offerings or through dissemination in university-wide workshops organized by the Graduate School and NMSU Teaching Academy. Students participate in formal education in Responsible Conduct in Research that is reinforced by faculty mentor practices and educational activities developed in partnership with colleagues in the START-UP network. Assessment and evaluation of program practices and outcomes are integrated into the design and continual refinement of programmatic elements.
