Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Option II at Jackson State University

 描述(由申请人提供)：杰克逊州立大学(JSU)致力于增加参与生物医学研究领域的少数族裔学生的数量。该大学的历史使命一直是在传统上服务不足的人群中培养一个致力于学生成就的环境。JSU认为，为了让任何学生在生物医学研究事业中取得成功，学生必须学习基础技能(读、写、说、听和计算)，发展批判性思维技能，并掌握分析探究(元认知和道德发展)。这项提议试图通过RISE-T.E.P.S.计划有意培养这些技能。这项拟议的计划包括三个计划组成部分：课程充实、生物医学研究加强以及人际发展和社会融合。这项建议将结合在大学内发现的其他学科的最佳实践、当前的文献和公认的指导方法，以增加学生的数量，这些学生不仅希望成为生物医学研究人员，而且拥有成为各自领域领导者的工具。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Jackson State University (JSU) is committed to increasing the number of Underrepresented Minority Students participating in the field of Biomedical Research. The historical mission of the university has been to foster an environment dedicated to student achievement in populations that have traditionally been underserved. JSU believes that in order for any student to achieve success in biomedical research careers, a student must learn foundational skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening, and numeracy), develop critical thinking skills, and master analytical inquiry (metacognition and ethical development). This proposal attempts to intentionally develop these skills through the RISE-S.T.E.P.S. program. This proposed program contains three program components; Curriculum Enrichment, Biomedical Research Enhancement, and Interpersonal Development and Social Integration. This proposal will combine best practices found within the university in other disciplines, current literature, and accepted mentoring approaches to increase the number of students that not only desire to become biomedical researcher, but have the tools to be leaders in their respective fields.
