U-Rise at the University of New Mexico

摘要 新墨西哥大学的本科生提高学生研究计划(U-RISE)是 一项为期两年的计划，将指导、研究和学术相结合，以培养和准备本科生 来自代表不足的少数民族(URM)和群体(URG)的学生攻读博士课程(并最终 职业)从事生物医学研究。具体来说，UNM的U-Rise目标是：1)增加 来自生物医学相关专业的学生作为本科生参与研究项目，2)鼓励 URM学生进入研究生研究学位课程，以及3)招聘和准备U-Rise学者 通过集成的指导和培训计划实现研究生院和研究职业生涯，这将增强 学术和研究技能。关键的可衡量结果包括100%的U-Rise学者将毕业 在加入U-Rise的两年内，我们至少80%的学者将进入博士课程 (博士或医学博士/博士)毕业3年内。 将在五年内从生物化学和分子生物学系招募30名学者， 生物、化学和化学生物学、数学和统计学、物理学、心理学和理工学院 在他们二年级结束的时候，工程学。遴选学者的标准将包括但不限于 GPA(通常为3.2)，地位偏低，渴望从事生物医学研究。其他 表明学生将在项目、研究生院和其他方面出类拔萃的因素也将是 考虑过了。学生将与我们来自各地的26位导师之一一起参与真实的研究体验 北卡罗来纳大学校园。必修课和选修课将加强写作和量化/计算技能 并提供培训，以提高数据的严密性和再现性，并在研究中进行负责任的行为。 专业发展、培训和指导将有助于学者的成功。同时，U- 在UNM项目的崛起将通过改善咨询服务来改善本科生的整体体验， 课程，以及传播有关本科生研究和研究生机会的信息 学校。每年和学生将对U-Rise学者、导师和Pack领袖进行评估 毕业后将对成功进行15年的跟踪调查，以确定每个项目要素的成功程度。 确定需要改进的领域，并传播有关成功和挑战的信息 程序。

ABSTRACT The Undergraduate Research Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) at the University of New Mexico is a two-year program that integrates mentoring, research, and academics to train and prepare undergraduate students from underrepresented minorities (URM) and groups (URG) for doctoral programs (and ultimately careers) in biomedical research. Specifically, the U-RISE at UNM goals are to: 1) Increase the number of students from biomedically-relevant majors involved in research programs as undergraduates, 2) Encourage URM students to enter graduate research degree programs, and 3) Recruit and prepare U-RISE scholars for graduate school and research careers through an integrated mentoring and training program that will enhance academic and research skills. Key measurable outcomes include that 100% of U-RISE scholars will graduate within two years of joining U-RISE and at least 80% of our scholars will matriculate into doctoral programs (PhD or MD/PhD) within 3 years of graduation. Thirty scholars will be recruited over five years from the Departments of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry & Chemical Biology, Mathematics & Statistics, Physics, Psychology and the School of Engineering at the end of their sophomore years. Criteria for scholar selection will include, but are not limited to GPA (typically > 3.2), underrepresented status, and a desire to pursue a career in biomedical research. Other factors that would suggest that a student would excel in the program, graduate school and beyond, will also be considered. Students will participate in authentic research experiences with one of our 26 mentors from across the UNM campus. Required and elective courses will strengthen writing and quantitative/computational skills and provide training in methods to enhance data rigor and reproducibility, and responsible conduct in research. Professional development training and mentoring will contribute to scholar success. At the same time, the U- RISE at UNM program will improve undergraduate experiences overall through improvements in advising, curriculum, and dissemination of information about opportunities for undergraduate research and graduate school. Evaluation of the U-RISE scholars, mentors, and pack leaders will be performed each year and student success will be followed for fifteen years after graduation to determine the success of each program element, to identify areas for improvement, and to disseminate information about successes and challenges for the program.
