Biomedical Research at Barry University

描述（由申请人提供）：作为RISE II选项机构，巴里大学继续在缩小全国生物医学科学博士学位完成率方面取得进展。该计划提供了一种跨学科的方法，以三个主题为中心，很好地整合和监测发展活动：早期基于探究的研究性学习，课程改进和研究参与。RISE毕业生在完成学士学位后直接进入生物医学博士课程；我们的毕业生正处于不同的学习阶段，其中许多人即将获得博士学位。在资助期间，我们作出了系统的努力，以制定一个有效的，全面的计划，为大学的学生做好准备。2013-2018年资助期的总体目标和具体可衡量的目标是加强学术竞争力，增加生物医学研究的参与度。RISE通过科学研究机会和方向（ROADS）为一、二年级学生提供了一个真正的跨学科小组研究丰富的体验，之后他们可以成为RISE的积极参与者。从大二到大四，生物和化学专业的RISE参与者，在巴里完成暑期研究开始研讨会和建立研究基础（BFoRe），为在具有研究密集型环境的机构的暑期研究经验（SRE）做准备。RISE学员参加以问题为基础的“新闻中的科学与数学”课程；参加卓越辅导，时间管理和研究生院研讨会，并在科学会议上发表研究报告。通过分析可测量目标的纵向数据，确定了为参与者准备进入生物医学博士课程的目标的进展情况。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a RISE Option II institution, Barry University continues to make strides in reducing the national gap in the completion of PhD degrees between UR and non-UR students in biomedical science. This program provides an interdisciplinary approach of well integrated and monitored development activities centered on three main themes: Early Inquiry-Based Research Learning, Curriculum Improvement, and Research Engagement. RISE graduates upon completion of the bachelor's degree have directly matriculated into biomedical PhD programs; our graduates are at different stages of the pipeline with many nearing completion of the PhD. Over the funding period we have made systematic efforts to produce an effective, comprehensive plan for preparing UR students. The overall goals and specific measurable objectives to be accomplished for this funding period, 2013-2018, are to strengthen academic competitiveness and increase engagement in biomedical research. RISE offers an authentic interdisciplinary group research-rich experience for freshmen and sophomores through Research Opportunities and Directions in Science (ROADS) after which they can become active RISE participants. RISE participants as sophomores through seniors, biology and chemistry majors, complete a summer Research Beginnings Workshop and Build Foundations in Research (BFoRe) at Barry in preparation for the Summer Research Experience (SRE) at institutions with research-intensive environments. RISE participants enroll in the problem-based learning "Science and Math in the News" course; participate in tutoring for excellence, time-management and graduate school workshops and present research at scientific meetings. Progress toward the goal of preparing participants to enter biomedical PhD programs is ascertained by analyzing longitudinal data on the measurable objectives.
