U-RISE AT DILLARD UNIVERSITY

项目摘要/摘要 迪拉德大学(DU)提议为学生设立本科生研究培养计划 增强(U-RISE)计划建立在与路易斯安那州立大学健康的强大合作伙伴关系上 科学中心(LSUHSC)。自2005年卡特里娜飓风过后，该大学强劲反弹， 超过1.5亿美元用于校园翻新和修复，其中包括新的4300万美元，16万平方米。 英国《金融时报》专业科学大楼。这有力地重申了该大学致力于培养 它主要是当地的学生人口，其中98%是非裔美国人，99%接受联邦经济援助。 我们建议利用我们的Dillard/LSUHSC合作伙伴关系来建立Dillard U-Rise to Success 方案(通过充实和特别支持加强大学本科生的能力)。 通过我们与LSUHSC-NO的合作关系，学生将有机会获得优质的教学、研究和 全州的医疗机构。 U-Rise to Success计划将包括16名U-Rise奖学金获得者(从大三开始每年4名) 以研究为导向的丰富经验。U-Rise学者将通过以下方式体验增强的课程 参加研讨会、工作坊、特别课程的联合课程活动，并为 在熟练教师的指导下，全年参与当代研究。 目的1.为从事生物医学研究创造一个吸引人的URM学者社区。 目标A1。加强和加强我们现有的研究和学术支持活动 实施跨学科早期调查小组研究计划和协作干预 以及文理学院的留校计划。这一目的和目标的结果是：1) 建立坚实的科学基础；2)在全国范围内建立URM科学家社区，并与U- Rise学者；3)提供严谨和可重复性的培训；4)增加外部实习 参与 目标2.增加整体URM学生申请研究生学位课程的申请，并改进 了解生物医学/行为学职业。 目标A2。增加学生对研究生学位课程和生物医学/行为学的了解 通过将以生物医学/行为职业为重点的课程整合到研讨会课程和 其他正在进行的活动。这一目标和目标的结果是：1)50%的优秀学生参与 将通过紧张的持续职业生涯进入生物医学研究特定领域的研究生院 指导和申请准备援助；以及举办专门的U-Rise研讨会 潜在研究生院的专业人士和其他团体。

Project Summary/Abstract Dillard University (DU) propose to establish an Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) Program building on a strong partnership with Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC). After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the university has since rebounded strongly with more than $150 million spent on campus renovation and restoration, including a new $43 million, 160,000 sq. ft. professional science building. This is a strong reaffirmation of the university’s commitment to the training of its mostly local student population, which is 98% African American, with 99% receiving federal financial aid. We propose to leverage our Dillard/LSUHSC partnership to establish the Dillard U-RISE to SUCCESS Program (Strengthening Undergraduate Capabilities in College through Enrichment and Special Support). Through our partnership with LSUHSC-NO, students will have access to premium teaching, research, and healthcare institutions state-wide. The U-RISE to SUCCESS Program will involve 16 U-RISE Scholars (4 per year starting in the junior year) in a rich research-oriented experience. The U-RISE scholars will experience an enhanced curriculum through participation in co-curricular activities of seminars, workshops, special courses, and strong opportunities for year-round participation in contemporary research under the direction of skilled faculty. Aim 1. To create an engaging community of URM scholars prepared for pursuing biomedical research. Objective A1. To strengthen and enhance our existing research and academic support activities by implementing an interdisciplinary early inquiry-based group research program and a collaborative intervention and retention program in the School of Arts and Science. The outcomes for this aim and objective are to: 1) to build a strong foundation in the sciences; 2) to establish a community of URM scientists nationwide with U- RISE Scholars; 3) to provide training in rigor and reproducibility; and 4) increase external internship participation Aim 2. To increase overall URM student applications to research graduate degree programs and improve knowledge of biomedical/ behavioral careers. Objective A2. To increase students’ knowledge of graduate degree programs and biomedical/behavioral sciences careers by integrating a “biomedical/behavioral careers focused” curriculum into seminar courses and other ongoing activities. The outcomes for this aim and objective are: 1) 50% of talented students participating in U-RISE will enter graduate school in a biomedical research-specific area through intensive ongoing career guidance and application preparation assistance; and by holding dedicated U-RISE workshops with career professionals and other groups at potential graduate institutions.
