U-RISE at Queens College, CUNY, Project Summary Despite advances in recent years, demographical data shows that underrepresented minorities continue to lag behind their Caucasian contemporaries in various STEM disciplines, both in terms of graduate degree completion and in terms of academic publications. Although the need for diversity in STEM is heralded, the means by which to accomplish this objective remains unclear, with initiatives implemented in graduate schools being too late to affect change. This grant requests support for Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) for Queens College (QC) at the City University of New York (CUNY). QC is a public university situated within the single most ethnically diverse region in the country. In servicing the borough of Queens, QC is a leader within the state and ranked fourth in the country for social mobility. QC has held an NIH Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) that has trained 116 students over 18 years in the biomedical sciences. Due to recent changes in QC's eligibility for MARC granting, we aim to leverage the current momentum to implement a U-RISE funding mechanism to support its existing training infrastructure for underrepresented undergraduates in biomedical research programs. QC also supports a vibrant research community of investigators with research programs funded by the NIH/ARO/NSF that span a range of disciplines intersecting with biomedical sciences. In this grant, we have identified faculty mentors dedicated to training undergraduates, a track record of advancing them to research- intensive careers, and a sincere commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) values. This effort is further supported by QC’s administration which intends to institutionalize undergraduate training in biomedical research through curricular offerings (formalized courses), professional development, ethics, and DEI workshops open to the broader QC undergraduate community. This U-RISE grant will continue to support the legacy established through NIH MARC U-STAR funding for community stakeholders by providing advanced research and professional development training to U-RISE students, as well as enhancing the research environment at Queens College as a whole, thereby affecting change for the many talented and diverse students who entrust us with their career success.

纽约市立大学皇后学院U-RISE，项目摘要 尽管近年来取得了进展，但人口统计数据显示， 在各种STEM学科中继续落后于他们的高加索同时代人，无论是在 研究生学位的完成和学术出版物方面。虽然需要 STEM的多样性是预示着的，实现这一目标的手段仍然不清楚， 在研究生院实施的倡议为时已晚，无法影响变革。 该补助金要求支持学生本科研究培训计划 为纽约皇后学院提供增强服务。QC 是一所公立大学，位于该国最具种族多样性的地区。在 为皇后区服务的QC是该州的领导者，在全国排名第四 社会流动性。QC举办了一个NIH最大限度地获得研究职业（MARC）， 在生物医学科学方面培训了116名学生，为期18年。由于最近QC的变更 我们的目标是利用目前的势头实施U-RISE， 为任职人数不足的人提供现有培训基础设施的供资机制 生物医学研究项目的本科生。QC还支持一项充满活力的研究， 由NIH/ARO/NSF资助的研究项目的研究人员社区， 一系列与生物医学科学交叉的学科。在这项拨款中，我们确定了教师 致力于培养本科生的导师，推动他们进行研究的记录- 密集的职业生涯，并真诚致力于多元化，公平和包容（DEI）的价值观。这 努力是进一步支持QC的管理，打算制度化本科 通过课程提供（正式课程）进行生物医学研究培训，专业 发展，道德和DEI研讨会向更广泛的QC本科社区开放。 这笔U-RISE赠款将继续支持通过NIH MARC U-STAR建立的遗产 通过提供先进的研究和专业知识，为社区利益攸关方提供资金 对U-RISE学生的发展培训，以及改善研究环境， 皇后学院作为一个整体，从而影响了许多有才华和多样化的学生的变化 他们把事业的成功托付给我们
