项目摘要

Summary Alabama State University (ASU) is renewing its NIGMS-RISE program. The major objective of the program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (URM) enrolling in PhD programs in biomedical sciences. This renewal is significant, since the NIGMS-RISE program is the only program at ASU that provides research training and PhD preparedness students in the MS program in biology with the highest potential of entering PhD programs. With this rationale, our NIGMS-RISE program provides rigorous graduate curricula emphasizing analytical and critical thinking, problem solving, mathematical skills, intense research training, scientific writing and skills building through technical workshops and other extracurricular activities. All RISE students are required to participate in summer research working with a research mentor at participating research-intensive institutions. A team of 16 committed faculty mentors at ASU provides research training to RISE students leading into a MS thesis. The research training is complemented with mentoring by 15 external collaborators resulting in transition of ASU MS graduates into PhD programs at research-intensive institutions. The second cycle will support five (5) MS students at ASU each year for a maximum support of two years. The two specific aims with measureable objectives are: Specific Aim #1: Enhance PhD preparedness of RISE participants through curricular and extracurricular activities. Objectives are: 1) All RISE participants will participate in all RISE curricular and professional activities, 2) All RISE participants will improve their GPA by 15%, 3) 100% of RISE participants will show improvement in their writing skills, and 4) 100% participants will improve on their GRE scores by 10%. Specific Aim #2: Provide rigorous research training to RISE students to complete the MS degree and ensure their acceptance into PhD programs in biomedical sciences. Objectives are: 1) 100% of participants will complete the MS degree within two years, 2) 100% of RISE participants will participate in summer research at an external collaborator institution and all RISE sponsored curricular and professional activities, 3) Over 80% of participants (4 out of 5) will be accepted in PhD programs in the biomedical sciences by the end of year 2 of the MS program, and 4) 100% of participants will author one peer-reviewed publication. We anticipate that through the NIGMS-RISE program, 12 African-American students will transition to PhD programs in biomedical sciences.

总结亚拉巴马州立大学（ASU）正在更新其NIGMS-RISE计划。该方案的主要目标是增加少数民族学生（URM）在生物医学博士课程注册人数以理工科为重这一更新是重要的，因为NIGMS-RISE计划是ASU唯一的计划，研究培训和博士生准备在生物学硕士课程的学生具有最高的潜力，进入PhD课程。有了这个理由，我们的NIGMS-RISE计划提供严格的研究生课程强调分析和批判性思维，解决问题，数学技能，密集的研究训练，通过技术讲习班和其他课外活动进行科学写作和技能培养。全体起立学生必须参加夏季研究工作与研究导师在参与研究密集型机构。亚利桑那州立大学的16名专职教师导师团队提供研究培训，升学生导致进入MS论文。研究培训由15名外部人员提供指导，合作者导致ASU MS毕业生过渡到研究密集型机构的博士课程。第二个周期将支持五（5）MS学生在亚利桑那州立大学每年最多支持两年。的有两个具体目标和可衡量的目标：具体目标#1：通过课程和课外活动加强RISE参与者的博士准备活动目标是：1）所有RISE参与者将参加所有RISE课程和专业活动，2）所有RISE参与者将提高他们的GPA 15%，3）100%的RISE参与者将显示 4）100%的参与者的GRE成绩将提高10%。具体目标#2：为RISE学生提供严格的研究培训，以完成MS学位，并确保他们被生物医学博士项目录取了目标是：1）100%的参与者将在两年内完成硕士学位，2）100%的RISE参与者将参加夏季研究，一个外部合作机构和所有RISE赞助的课程和专业活动，3）超过80% 的参与者（5人中有4人）将在2015年2月底之前被生物医学博士课程接受 MS计划，4）100%的参与者将撰写一篇同行评审的出版物。我们预计，通过NIGMS-RISE计划，12名非洲裔美国学生将过渡到博士学位生物医学科学的课程。
