PROJECT SUMMARY The overarching goal of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Raise Awareness In Students Early (RAISE) Host and Microbe Program is to increase the number of qualified individuals from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and clinical workforce who pursue a graduate STEM degree and career that bridges microbiology and immunology. To accomplish this goal, the RAISE Program will provide research experience and academic enrichment that authentically serve underrepresented students in ways that achieve retention, equity, access, and life-changing outcomes for students. The program will support nine students from economically and/or socially disadvantaged backgrounds and underrepresented ethnic and racial groups. Students will be recruited from the Southeast with priority given to applicants from South Carolina non- research-intensive higher education institutions including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The RAISE program will: 1) recruit diverse undergraduate students who demonstrate ambition and determination to pursue a graduate-level STEM degree; 2) implement a summer training program that will prepare students for graduate/professional school admission and a biomedical research career; 3) nurture the professional growth of students and enhance their integration into the academic culture and community; 4) implement a support program to assist students during the transition from undergraduate to graduate/professional school, and 5) conduct a process and outcome evaluation to ensure the program responds to emerging needs and meets the students’ short term and long term objectives. Dr. Yilmaz, DDS, PhD. and Dr. Westwater, PhD. with their complementary backgrounds in academic mentoring bring forth an integrated undergraduate program encompassing basic science, clinical knowledge, and team-based leadership. During the 10-week summer program students will conduct a biomedical hypothesis-driven project under the guidance of a faculty mentor whose research program is aligned with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) scientific priorities. Training will include academic skills development, scientific communication, professional networking, work-life management skills, and responsible conduct of research training. Trainees will gain an appreciation for the translational relevance of their studies through interprofessional experiences in a clinical setting. The program will culminate with a formal presentation at the MUSC Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium, a one-day conference in which students present their research to their peers and mentors. Each student will be paired via the Big Sister/Brother Program with a graduate student, who will provide professional and social support while on the MUSC campus. Students’ will continue to receive career advancement support after graduating from the program through the RAISE Alumni Network. Ultimately, the program will prepare the next generation of skilled, rigorous, and creative scientists who will improve the Nations capacity to address and eliminate health disparities related to infectious disease and diseases of the immune system.

项目摘要 南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）的总体目标是提高学生的认识 早期（RAISE）宿主和微生物计划旨在增加团体中合格人员的数量 在生物医学和临床劳动力谁追求研究生STEM学位和职业生涯， 微生物学和免疫学的桥梁。为了实现这一目标，RAISE计划将提供研究 经验和学术丰富，真正服务于代表性不足的学生的方式， 为学生实现保留，公平，访问和改变生活的结果。该计划将支持9 来自经济和/或社会弱势背景以及代表性不足的族裔和种族的学生 组学生将从东南部招募，优先考虑来自南卡罗来纳州的申请人。 研究密集型高等教育机构，包括历史黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）。 RAISE计划将：1）招募表现出雄心和决心的多样化本科生 攻读研究生水平的STEM学位; 2）实施暑期培训计划，为学生做好准备， 研究生/专业学校录取和生物医学研究生涯; 3）培养专业成长的 4）加强学生对学术文化和社区的融入; 4）实施支持 计划，以帮助学生从本科过渡到研究生/专业学校，以及5） 进行过程和结果评估，以确保该计划响应新出现的需求，并满足 学生的短期和长期目标。Yilmaz博士，DDS，博士。韦斯特沃特博士与他们的 学术指导的互补背景带来了一个综合的本科课程 包括基础科学、临床知识和团队领导。程序将历时10周 暑期项目的学生将在教师的指导下进行一个生物医学假设驱动的项目 导师，其研究计划与国家过敏和传染病研究所（NIAID）保持一致 科学优先。培训将包括学术技能发展，科学交流，专业 网络、工作生活管理技能和负责任地开展研究培训。学员将获得 通过临床跨专业经验，对他们的研究的翻译相关性表示赞赏 设置.该计划将在MUSC夏季本科生研究的正式演讲中达到高潮 专题讨论会，为期一天的会议，其中学生介绍他们的研究，他们的同龄人和导师。每个 学生将通过大姐姐/兄弟计划与研究生配对，研究生将提供专业的 和社会支持，而在MUSC校园。学生将继续获得职业发展支持 通过RAISE校友网络从该计划毕业后。最终，该计划将准备 下一代技术熟练，严谨和创造性的科学家，他们将提高国家解决问题的能力， 消除与传染病和免疫系统疾病有关的健康差距。
