U-RISE Delaware State Unversity: Student Training in Academic Research (STAR) Summary: We propose to establish a U-RISE training site at Delaware State University (DSU) as a catalyst to attract, and to closely train, up to 18 undergraduate students per year in any of the biomedical research disciplines, totaling up to 54 trainees over the five-year period of the grant. Our STAR Scholars will be mentored and motivated to ultimately pursue their PhD degree and careers related to biomedical research. DSU, an Historically Black University (HBCU), enrolls about 4800 undergraduate students, with over 70% being members of racial and ethnic minority groups that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Based on best practices from the literature, we will implement an educational and research training program that will support successful graduation of our scholars and ensure that they are accepted to biomedically-related graduate programs, are motivated to attend, and are prepared for success. Our STAR Scholars will participate in two summer research internships, first on the DSU campus, and the second at a research intensive institution. Through the IDeA Networks of Biomdical Research and other connnections, we have identified a large number of partner institutions who will host our STAR Scholars in their summer undergraduate research programs, ensuring that they are matched with trained, experienced mentors. To support our Scholars, we have designed a series of activities, courses, and workshops that will provide knowledge and skills development to support academic success at DSU and in graduate school. Our Scholars will be supported by strong, culturally-competent mentors, who have completed an on-line mentoring course and participate in interventions shown to minimize implicit bias. To increase STEM engagement and self-efficacy and strengthen critical thinking skills among the broader STEM student community at DSU, our program supports professional development to faculty to integrate course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) into introductory STEM courses. We expect these early research experiences to increase retention and motivate more students toward careers in research. We aim that 90% of our DSU-STAR trainees graduate with a bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline, at least 60% of our trainees pursue a biomedical Ph.D or Ph.D/M.D. degree at a research- intensive institution, and at least 80% of those matriculants obtain their degrees. Furthermore, the DSU STAR program will also support initiatives to increase the four and five year graduation rate from 25% to 35% and 38% to 50%. Finally, we will establish assessment mechanisms to evaluate the program, to ensure its continuous success.

U-RISE特拉华州州立大学：学术研究学生培训（星星） 总结： 我们建议在特拉华州州立大学（DSU）建立一个U-RISE培训基地，作为催化剂， 吸引，并密切培训，每年多达18名本科生在任何生物医学研究 在赠款的五年期间，总共有54名受训人员。我们的星星学者将 指导和激励，最终追求他们的博士学位和生物医学研究相关的职业生涯。 DSU是一所历史上的黑人大学（HBCU），招收了约4800名本科生，其中70%以上是黑人。 作为传统上在STEM中代表性不足的种族和少数民族群体的成员。基于 根据文献中的最佳做法，我们将实施一项教育和研究培训计划， 将支持我们的学者成功毕业，并确保他们被接受生物医学相关的 研究生课程，积极参加，并为成功做好准备。我们的星星学者将 参加两个夏季研究实习，第一次在DSU校园，第二次在研究 密集型机构。通过IDEA生物医学研究网络和其他连接，我们已经 我确定了大量的合作机构，他们将在夏季接待我们的星星学者 本科研究计划，确保他们与训练有素，经验丰富的导师相匹配。到 为了支持我们的学者，我们设计了一系列活动，课程和研讨会，将提供 知识和技能发展，以支持在DSU和研究生院的学术成功。我们 学者将得到强大的，文化能力的导师，谁已经完成了在线支持 指导课程和参与干预措施，以尽量减少隐性偏见。 提高STEM参与度和自我效能感，并加强批判性思维技能 在DSU更广泛的STEM学生社区，我们的计划支持教师的专业发展， 将基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES）整合到STEM入门课程中。我们 我希望这些早期的研究经验，以增加保留和激励更多的学生对职业生涯， research.我们的目标是90%的DSU-STAR学员毕业时获得STEM学士学位 学科，至少60%的学员追求生物医学博士或博士/医学博士。在一个研究- 这些学生中至少有80%获得学位。此外，DSU 星星计划还将支持将四年和五年的毕业率从25%提高到 35%和38%至50%。最后，我们将建立评估机制，对方案进行评估，确保 其不断的成功。
