Project Summary/Abstract The mission of the proposed Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) program at University of North Florida (UNF) is to significantly increase the proportion of students from underrepresented (UR) ethnic/racial minority or economically disadvantaged groups completing undergraduate degrees and PhD or MD/PhD programs in biomedical sciences. We propose to develop this U-RISE program across the UNF Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Departments; 44% of students from these programs are from UR ethnic/racial minority or economically disadvantaged groups. The UNF Biomedical Sciences program bridges these UNF departments with Mayo Clinic Florida, a major research-intensive academic medical center six miles from UNF. This provides a strong foundation for the proposed program via established inter-institutional initiatives that provide undergraduate research training. Pre-U-RISE scholars will be selected in spring of their freshman year. With full financial support from UNF, scholars will begin the pre-U-RISE program in the summer before sophomore year and gain critical experience in the responsible conduct of research as well as research training at UNF or Mayo Clinic during their sophomore year to promote student retention. Pre-U-RISE scholars will matriculate into the U-RISE program during the summer prior to junior year. As U-RISE scholars, students will complete two summer internships, with at least one at a research intense institution (i.e. Mayo Clinic, University of Central Florida, Florida State University). Scholars will also pursue academic year research at Mayo Clinic or UNF, building their scientific identity and achieving full immersion in research. Through research, scholars will develop myriad technical, operational, and professional skills. Other key aspects of the proposed program include three-tier academic/research/peer mentoring, outreach, and professional development activities that foster trainee independence, collaboration, and communication skills. These all represent evidence-based interventions for increasing the persistence of students from UR groups in biomedical science. The proposed program includes four major objectives: 1) Early identification and recruitment of students from UR groups (minority/economically disadvantaged) and mentoring starting at end of freshman year; 2) a rigorous academic preparedness program with continuous academic year research experiences at UNF or Mayo Clinic Florida; 3) two summer research experiences; and, 4) a support system achieved through individualized mentoring, advising, and continuous academic and financial support. Through these objectives, our U-RISE program aims to yield outcomes that include increasing the 4-year graduation rate for scholars by >2-fold above current UNF baselines and creating a diverse cohort of students that matriculate into graduate programs. This will ultimately enhance the regional biomedical science training environment and increase workforce diversity.

项目总结/摘要 拟议的本科生研究培训倡议学生增强（U-RISE）的使命 北佛罗里达大学（UNF）的一项计划是显着增加来自 少数民族/种族或经济上处于不利地位的群体完成本科学业 学位和博士或医学博士/博士课程的生物医学科学。我们建议开发这个U-RISE计划 在UNF生物，化学和物理部门; 44%的学生从这些程序是来自 UR少数民族/种族或经济弱势群体。联合国基金会生物医学科学计划 这些UNF部门与马约诊所佛罗里达，一个主要的研究密集型学术医疗中心六英里 UNF的。这为拟议的方案提供了一个坚实的基础， 提供本科生研究培训的举措。前U-RISE学者将在春季选择他们的 大一的时候。在联合国基金会的全力资助下，学者们将在夏季开始U-RISE前计划 在大二之前，并获得负责任的研究和研究行为的关键经验 在大学二年级期间在联合国基金会或马约诊所接受培训，以提高学生的保留率。Pre-U-RISE学者 将在大三之前的夏天被U-RISE项目录取。作为U-RISE学者，学生 将完成两个暑期实习，至少有一个在研究密集型机构（即马约诊所， 中佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达州立大学）。学者们还将在马约进行学年研究 诊所或联合国基金会，建立自己的科学身份，并在研究中实现完全沉浸。通过研究， 学者们将发展无数的技术，操作和专业技能。拟议战略的其他主要方面 该计划包括三个层次的学术/研究/同行指导，外展和专业发展活动 培养学员的独立性、协作能力和沟通技巧。这些都代表了基于证据的 采取干预措施，提高乌拉圭回合群体的学生在生物医学科学方面的持久性。拟议 该计划包括四个主要目标：1）早期识别和招募来自UR群体的学生 （少数民族/经济上处于不利地位）和指导开始在大一年底; 2）严格的学术 在UNF或马约诊所佛罗里达连续学年研究经验的准备计划; 3） 两个夏季研究经验;以及，4）通过个性化辅导实现的支持系统， 提供咨询，以及持续的学术和财政支持。通过这些目标，我们的U-RISE计划旨在 产生的成果包括将学者的4年毕业率提高到目前联合国基金会的2倍以上 基线和创造一个多样化的学生，进入研究生课程录取队列。这将最终 改善区域生物医学科学培训环境，增加劳动力多样性。
