项目摘要

Project Abstract The Spelman RISE program seeks to address the underrepresentation of women, and minority women in particular, in the sciences at the PhD level and beyond by leading the effort to produce the next generation of Black women scientists. The present proposal enhances aspects of our existing RISE program, which has 100% graduation rate and 100% of its graduates pursuing advanced degrees or working in STEM fields. Aim 1. To increase students’ persistence in STEM fields, promote awareness of scientific research and encourage students to pursue a career in research. Our new Freshman Introduction to Research and Skills Training (FIRST) program is designed to engage first-year students in the wonder of scientific discovery. Incoming freshman will work in an active research lab and attend weekly modules to develop college transition skills, receive introductory course support, develop their critical thinking, and learn what it takes to work well in a scientific lab. The summer after their freshman year they will be working for 8 weeks in an active research lab. We expect the FIRST student experience to improve participants’ transition to college and persistence in STEM, with 80% of RISE students earning their degree within 4 years. For all of our students, during the academic year, we will continue our RISE Science Seminar Series and we expect 100% attendance by RISE Scholars, who will report a gain in scientific understanding. Aim 2. To develop empirical research knowledge and skills of students so that they will be prepared for the rigor of the advanced research training of doctoral programs. Activities include the Academic Year Research Development program, where students are paid members of active research labs, our Critical Skills for Investigation-(CSI) modules that focus on critical thinking, quantitative skills, research design, RCR, reading comprehension, and an emphasis on scientific writing and statistical analysis. 100% of RISE Scholars will demonstrate in-depth comprehension of their research design, present their research every year, attend at least one professional conference and experience peer-review of their work. Aim 3. To increase the number of students entering doctoral programs, by making them more competitive for admission, and improving the percentage of those students who earn a PhD. We take a holistic approach by developing the "soft skills" that will promote success in current and future lab placements. We focus on developing community and teamwork by matching each FIRST student with her peer mentoring team of 2-3 upper level RISE Scholars. Students will develop an IDP, with input from the PD, faculty advisor and research mentor. We will also work with seniors to select and apply to doctoral programs. We expect that the percentage of RISE graduates going directly to graduate school will be at least 90%, with 85% of those students completing the PhD.

项目摘要 Spelman RISE计划旨在解决妇女和少数民族妇女代表性不足的问题特别是，在博士水平及以后的科学，通过领导努力产生下一个一代黑人女科学家。本提案增强了我们现有RISE的各个方面该计划的毕业率为100%，100%的毕业生攻读高级学位或在STEM领域工作。目标1.为了提高学生在STEM领域的坚持性，促进提高学生的科研意识，鼓励学生从事科研工作。我们的新新生介绍研究和技能培训（第一）计划的目的是从事第一年让学生们沉浸在科学发现的奇迹中。新生将在一个活跃的研究实验室工作，参加每周模块，以发展大学过渡技能，接受入门课程支持，发展他们的批判性思维，并学习如何在科学实验室中良好工作。夏天，他们大一的时候，他们将在一个活跃的研究实验室工作8周。我们期待第一个学生经验，以改善参与者的过渡到大学和坚持干，与80%的上升学生在4年内获得学位。对于我们所有的学生，在学年期间，我们将继续我们的RISE科学研讨会系列，我们希望100%的RISE学者出席，他们将在科学理解上有所收获。目标2.发展实证研究知识和技能学生，使他们将为博士的高级研究培训的严格准备程序.活动包括学年研究发展计划，学生在那里活跃研究实验室的付费成员，我们的调查关键技能-（CSI）模块重点关注批判性思维，定量技能，研究设计，RCR，阅读理解，并强调科学写作和统计分析。100%的RISE学者将深入展示理解他们的研究设计，每年展示他们的研究，参加至少一个专业会议和经验同行审查他们的工作。目标3.更多的学生进入博士课程，使他们更有竞争力的录取，提高获得博士学位的学生的比例。我们采取全面的方法，发展“软技能”，这将促进当前和未来的实验室实习的成功。我们专注于通过将每个FIRST学生与她的同伴指导团队相匹配来发展社区和团队合作， 2-3高水平的学者。学生将制定一个IDP，从PD，教师顾问和研究导师我们还将与老年人选择和申请博士课程。我们预计 RISE毕业生直接进入研究生院的比例将至少达到90%，其中85%的毕业生将直接进入研究生院。那些完成博士学位的学生。
