DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Benedict College, a private, fast growing HBCU in the state of South Carolina submits this amended RISE application to enhance the interest, skills, and competitiveness of the undergraduate science students in biomedical research. This goal fits well with the overall purpose of the MBRS-RISE Program as laid out by the National Institutes of Health. We have set up the following measurable objectives that are based on student development activities and the research education capability of the College: Objective 1: Increase enrollment and retention of students in the science disciplines, which are the RISE-participating departments Objective 2: Increase the number of students participating in on-campus research Objective 3: Increase the number of students participating in off-campus summer research Objective 4: Increase the number of research presentations by students at professional meetings Objective 5: Increase the rate of successful admission to graduate programs and successful completion of Ph.D. programs. To achieve these objectives we have developed a number of related developmental activities that include establishing a RISE Office, a pre-freshman recruitment activity, recruitment during freshman orientation, recruitment for the RISE Program in first year science classes, establishing visiting scientist seminars, support for gatekeeper courses, summer enrichment courses, biomedical research training and workshops, intramural (on-campus) and extramural (off-campus) research, participation and presentation in the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students and in discipline-based professional conferences, participation in GRE and graduate application workshops, and developmental activity follow-up and communication with the RISE scholars. The proposed RISE Program implements a comprehensive evaluation plan designed for outcome-based evaluation and improvement of program activities as the program proceeds. The consultant from Demographic and Institutional Research Services has prepared the evaluation plan for the Benedict College RISE program in consultation with the program director. All activities are aimed at increasing the number of minority students acquiring the tools necessary to pursue biomedical research careers.

描述(由申请人提供)：本尼迪克特学院，一所私立的，快速发展的HBCU，在南卡罗来纳州提交了这份修订的RISE申请，以提高本科生在生物医学研究方面的兴趣、技能和竞争力。这一目标与美国国立卫生研究院制定的MBRS-RISE计划的总体目标非常吻合。我们根据学生发展活动和学院的研究教育能力，制定了以下可衡量的目标： 目标1：增加理科专业的招生和留学生，这些学科是正在崛起的参与部门 目标2：增加参与校内研究的学生人数 目标3：增加参加校外暑期研究的学生人数 目标4：增加学生在专业会议上发表研究报告的次数 目标5：提高研究生项目录取率和博士项目完成率。 为了实现这些目标，我们开展了一系列相关的发展活动，包括设立RISE办公室、大学新生招生活动、新生迎新活动、在一年级科学课程中为RISE计划招生、建立客座科学家研讨会、支持看门人课程、暑期充实课程、生物医学研究培训和工作坊、校内(校内)和校外(校外)研究、参加和介绍年度少数族裔学生生物医学研究大会和以学科为基础的专业会议、参加GRE和研究生应用研讨会，以及发展活动的后续活动和与RISE学者的交流。 拟议的RISE方案实施了一项全面评价计划，旨在根据方案进展情况对方案活动进行基于成果的评价和改进。人口统计和机构研究服务部的顾问在与项目主任协商后，为本尼迪克特学院崛起项目准备了评估计划。所有活动的目的都是为了增加少数族裔学生获得从事生物医学研究事业所需工具的人数。
