Typical institutional efforts to increase the number of racial/ethnic minority and disadvantaged college students (URMs) in the biomedical pipeline primarily focus on building research and professional development skills. Indeed, enhancing these skills will increase preparedness for graduate school. However, many URMs face additional barriers in pursuit of a neuroscience doctoral degree that are not addressed by conventional summer undergraduate research programs. To address this critical need, the goal of the Research Innovation in NeuroScience Education for Underserved Populations (RISE UP) summer research program at the University of Cincinnati is to provide a unique learning experience that combines both traditional and innovative approaches to inspire undergraduate URMs to pursue a career in neuroscience. We will accomplish this goal using the following methods: (1) an aggressive and focused effort to recruit 50 outstanding RISE UP summer scholars from around the country with an interest in neuroscience over the proposed funding period; (2) provide training in the essentials of research at the University of Cincinnati (e.g., responsible conduct of research/ethics training) and the fundamentals of neuroscience research; (3) create individualized research experiences in top-notch neuroscience laboratories that closely match their career interests; (4) design innovative seminars and workshops that strengthen academic and professional development to facilitate entry into neuroscience doctoral programs; (5) lead inspiring socio-emotional seminars and workshops that tap into and provide solutions for contemporary issues that URMs disproportionately face in pursuit of a neuroscience doctoral degree; (6) provide cultural competency and implicit bias training for the entire RISE UP community; (7) provide a two-pronged mentoring strategy that includes a RISE UP faculty mentor and a diversity ambassador; (8) ensure long-term investment in each RISE UP scholar that extends beyond the proposed summer funding period. Importantly, NINDS funding for the RISE UP program will supplement the strong financial support from the College of Medicine for diversity recruitment and inclusion in neuroscience education. Considering the current funding climate, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract, recruit, and retain students, especially URMs, in neuroscience, and innovative approaches are urgently needed to encourage and support historically underrepresented students to remain in the biomedical pipeline. Funding for the RISE UP program will allow us to do this by intervening early on in the educational pipeline to prepare our scholars for the academic and socio-emotional rigors of graduate school.

典型的机构努力，以增加种族/少数民族和弱势大学生（URM）在生物医学管道的数量主要集中在建设研究和专业发展技能。事实上，提高这些技能将增加研究生院的准备。然而，许多URM在追求神经科学博士学位时面临额外的障碍，这些障碍是传统的暑期本科研究项目所不能解决的。为了满足这一关键需求，辛辛那提大学的神经科学教育研究创新（RISE UP）夏季研究计划的目标是提供一种独特的学习体验，将传统和创新方法相结合，以激励本科URM从事神经科学事业。我们将使用以下方法实现这一目标：（1）在拟议的资助期内，积极集中精力从全国各地招募50名对神经科学感兴趣的优秀RISE UP暑期学者;（2）在辛辛那提大学提供研究要点的培训（例如，负责任的研究/道德培训）和神经科学研究的基础;（3）在顶级神经科学实验室创造个性化的研究经验，密切配合他们的职业兴趣;（4）设计创新的研讨会和讲习班，加强学术和专业发展，以促进进入神经科学博士课程;（5）领导鼓舞人心的社会情感研讨会和讲习班，挖掘并为URM在追求神经科学博士学位时不成比例地面临的当代问题提供解决方案;（6）为整个RISE UP社区提供文化能力和隐性偏见培训;（7）提供双管齐下的指导策略，包括RISE UP教师导师和多样性大使;（8）确保对每个RISE UP学者的长期投资超出拟议的夏季资助期。重要的是，NINDS为RISE UP计划提供的资金将补充医学院为神经科学教育的多样性招聘和包容性提供的强大财政支持。考虑到目前的资助环境，在神经科学领域吸引、招募和留住学生（尤其是URM）变得越来越困难，迫切需要创新方法来鼓励和支持历史上代表性不足的学生留在生物医学领域。对RISE UP计划的资助将使我们能够通过在教育管道的早期干预来做到这一点，以使我们的学者为研究生院的学术和社会情感严谨做好准备。
