计划摘要。莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)已经建立了强大的赛道 在研究和教育方面的成就记录。我们的努力在以下方面产生了影响 培养下一代生物医学科学家，增强生物多样性 当地和全国的生物医学研究队伍。MSM Rise计划一直是一个 为维护这一记录提供资源和支持的不可或缺的组成部分 研究训练。MSM RISE计划的总体目标是加强研究培训 生物医学和行为科学，并增加来自 在这些领域成功完成博士课程的群体代表性不足。具体的 拟议方案的目标和目标是：目标1--支持博士后研究生 学生完成博士课程的知识基础和技能集将 使他们在以研究为基础的博士后职位和研究资助方面具有竞争力 支持。将通过以下目标实现这一目标：1.1--加强科学研究 写作、批判性思维和沟通技能；1.2-促进和促进主动学习 提高批判性思维能力；1.3-利用MSM研究的广度和力量 企业和我们的合作伙伴加强对博士前学生的培训；以及1.4-提供 将增进学生对大数据科学的理解的机会。目标2--杠杆作用 学生学习社区和职业联系办公室，以加强 毕业经历和为学术和非学术领域的上升学者做准备 生物医学职业。以下目标将解决这一目标：2.1--加强联网 获得建设性反馈的技能和机会；2.2--加强学生领导力发展 和管理技能；2.3-利用职业联系办公室(OCC)做好准备 从事学术和非学术生物医学职业的学生。 为了实现这些目标和目的，RISE计划将包括亲身实践、专注 技能发展讲习班；研究金应用发展迷你夏令营；以及 对调查人员进行学习培训。受赞助的研讨会将包括：科学现状 由各自领域的科学领袖举办的研讨会；由学生主导的研讨会 科学陈述技能；以及职业发展研讨会。此外，RISE计划 教职员将积极参与提升研究生的学术经验。 通过学习社区，通过职业联系和意愿办公室进行职业探索 提供接触快速发展的大数据科学领域的门户。 基于博士生入学人数比去年增加20%的机构目标 未来五年，我们建议将RISE学生的资助人数增加50% 接下来的五年。被选为RISE学者的学生将获得最高五年的工资 和学费补助。预期的里程碑包括：增加摘要数量 接受提交并增加出版手稿的数量；平均 瑞星学者的毕业率为90%，这些毕业生中平均有80%进入 基于研究的博士后职位和工作；研究生数据科学的发展 课程设置；以及扩大RISE学者和整体毕业生的导师库 程序。

Program Summary. Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) has established a strong track record of achievement in both research and education. Our efforts have been impactful in training the next generation of biomedical scientists and in enhancing the diversity of the biomedical research workforce locally and nationally. The MSM RISE Program has been an integral component in providing the resources and support for maintaining this track record in research training. The overall goals of MSM’s RISE Program are to enhance research training in biomedical and behavioral sciences and to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who successfully complete PhD programs in these fields. The specific goals and objectives of the proposed program are: Goal 1- Support pre-doctoral graduate students in completing the PhD program with the knowledge base and skill set that will make them competitive for research-based postdoctoral positions and research grant support. This goal will be addressed through the following objectives: 1.1- Enhance scientific writing, critical thinking and communication skills; 1.2- Promote and foster active learning to enhance critical thinking skills; 1.3- Utilize the breadth and strength of the MSM research enterprise and our partners to enhance training of pre-doctoral students; and 1.4- Provide opportunities that will enhance students’ understanding of Big Data Science. Goal 2- Leverage Student Learning Communities and the Office of Career Connections to enhance the graduate experience and prepare RISE Scholars for academic and non-academic biomedical careers. The following objectives will address this goal: 2.1- Enhance networking skills and opportunities for constructive feedback; 2.2- Enhance student leadership development and management skills; 2.3- Leveraging the Office of Career Connections (OCC) to prepare students for academic and non-academic biomedical careers. To accomplish these goals and objectives, the RISE Program will include hands-on, focused skill development workshops; fellowship application development mini-camps; and active learning training for investigators. Sponsored seminars will include: State-of-the-Sciences seminars given by scientific leaders in their respective fields; student-led seminars to develop scientific presentation skills; and career development seminars. Additionally, the RISE Program staff will be actively involved in enhancing the academic experience of graduate students through Learning Communities, career exploration via the Office of Career Connections and will provide a gateway for exposure to the rapidly developing field of big data science. Based on the institutional goal of increasing enrollment in the PhD program by 20% over the next five years, we propose to increase the number of RISE students supported by 50% over the next five years. Students selected as RISE scholars will receive up to five years of salary and tuition support. The anticipated milestones include: increased numbers of abstracts accepted for presentation and increased numbers of published manuscripts; an average graduation rate of 90% for RISE Scholars, with an average of 80% of these graduates entering research-based post-doctoral positions and jobs; development of a graduate data science curriculum; and expansion of the mentor pool for RISE Scholars and the overall graduate program.
