Fayetteville State University RISE Program

描述(申请人提供)：费耶特维尔州立大学(FSU)是一所公立综合性地区性大学，是北卡罗来纳大学系统的16所组成机构之一，也是该州历史第二悠久的公立高等教育机构。FSU是一所历史悠久的黑人院校，有着137年的卓越教育历史，也是北卡罗来纳州和全国最多元化的大学之一。2002年，动态的、多方面的FSU-RISE计划启动，总体目标是增加准备充分的生物和化学FSU毕业生进入生物医学科学研究生课程的人数。在最初项目成功的基础上，FSU-Rise项目在这一申请中得到了扩展，将行为科学的学生也包括在内。为了实现FSU-RISE计划的目标，活动旨在解决四个重点放在学生、教师和机构发展上的目标。一系列分阶段开展的学生发展活动旨在提高学习成绩，并提供研究培训，从大一新生开始，一直持续到大四。参加该项目的每一年，学生都会在已掌握的技能的基础上发展，并获得新的经验，为竞争进入生物医学和行为科学的研究生项目做准备。真实的研究经验是通过校外暑期实习和校内研究活动获得的。教师发展和机构发展活动旨在加强该机构的研究培训基础设施。继续成功实施FSU-RISE计划的预期结果是：(1)每年进入该计划的12名学者中，至少有9名(75%)将继续攻读科学或心理学专业；(2)完成该计划的学者将100%在FSU毕业后被研究生课程录取；(3)每年毕业的FSU-RISE学者中，75%将进入生物医学/行为科学的博士课程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fayetteville State University (FSU), a public comprehensive regional university, is one of the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System and the second-oldest public institution of higher education in the state. A historically black institution with a rich 137-year history of excellence in education, FSU is also one of the most diverse universities in North Carolina and the nation. In 2002, the dynamic, multi-faceted FSU-RISE Program was begun with the overarching goal of increasing the number of well-prepared Biology and Chemistry FSU graduates entering graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Based upon the success of the initial program, the FSU-RISE Program has been expanded in this application to include students in the behavioral sciences as well. To achieve the goal of the FSU-RISE Program, activities have been designed to address four objectives focused on student, faculty, and institutional development. A series of phased-in student development activities are designed to strengthen academic performance and provide research training beginning with pre-freshmen and continuing through the senior year. Each year of participation in the program, students build upon skills developed and gain new experiences in preparation for competitive entry into graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Real world research experience is gained through extramural summer internships and intramural research activities. Faculty development and institutional development activities are designed to enhance the research training infrastructure at the institution. The expected outcomes of the continued successful implementation of the FSU-RISE Program are: (1) at least 9 of 12 scholars (75%) entering the program each year will persist in a science or psychology major; (2) 100% of scholars completing the program will be accepted into a graduate program following graduation from FSU; and (3) each year, 75% of the FSU-RISE scholars who graduate will enter a doctoral program in the biomedical / behavioral sciences.
