DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Clark Atlanta University proposes to continue the research training programs for undergraduate and graduate students begun in 1999 under the auspices of the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program of NIGMS/MORE. The major goal of both programs is to expose students in the disciplines of biological sciences and chemistry to state-of-the-art research in the biomedical sciences in an effort to influence them to pursue research careers in this area. The goals of the undergraduate component of the RISE program are to: 1) Retain students in the science major track; 2) to increase the number of students who apply to graduate programs in the biomedical sciences; and 3) to increase the number of students who are accepted into graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. To keep undergraduate students on course for a career in science, the following strategy will be used. Freshman students accepted into the program will be assigned to the program director (PD) for academic advisement. The Chair of chemistry will act as co-advisor for all chemistry undergraduate RISE students. All undergraduates will be required to form learning community study groups for their science classes. A peer-led leader will be assigned to specific study groups when the PD feels the students need the additional direction. Peer-leaders will direct study group activities, problem solving, and workshops as needed. In addition, students will attend tutorial sessions in English Composition. All undergraduates will meet regularly with the PD to discuss academic problems and to engage in academic enrichment activities. As the students progress through their academic programs the enrichment activities will change so that they are appropriate for the developmental phase of the student. Undergraduate students will begin intramural research experiences at the beginning of the sophomore year and will meet weekly with their research mentor to evaluate their progress. They will be required to do at least two rotations through different laboratories before they settle into a permanent laboratory for the remainder of their undergraduate training. They will also be required to participate in at least one extramural research experience. The goals of the graduate component of the RISE program are to: 1) Increase the number of students who complete the Ph.D. at CAU with a biomedical emphasis; 2) increase the number of publications authored by doctoral students at CAU; and 3) increase the number of degree recipients who enter into post-doctoral training, or a biomedical position in the private or government sectors. Graduate students will be accepted into the RISE program from those admitted to the graduate programs of either the Department of Biological Sciences or the Department of Chemistry. The RISE contribution to their training will be ensure that they are placed in a productive biomedical laboratory of an approved RISE mentor, and that they develop professionally for success as biomedical scientist in academia, government, or the private sector. Students will be participating in the weekly biomedical journal club, the weekly biomedical seminar series, and an annual national meeting in their area of research interest. In addition, students will participate in a series of workshops and activities designed to enhance their professional development. These workshops and activities will include the areas of grant and manuscript writing, research ethics, laboratory management and budgeting, thesis and dissertation preparation, the art of and benefits of mentoring younger students, and preparation for the postdoctoral experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：克拉克·亚特兰大大学（Clark Atlanta University）提议在1999年开始针对本科生和研究生的研究培训计划，该计划于1999年始于少数族裔生物医学研究支持（MBRS）的研究计划，用于科学增强计划（RISE）的NIGMS/更多。这两个计划的主要目标是使学生进入生物科学学科和化学学科，以在生物医学科学的最新研究中进行研究，以影响他们从事这一领域的研究职业。 RISE计划的本科组成部分的目标是：1）将学生留在科学专业轨道上； 2）增加生物医学研究生课程的学生人数； 3）增加生物医学科学研究生课程的学生人数。为了让本科生从事科学职业，将使用以下策略。接受该计划的新生学生将被分配给计划主任（PD）以供学术咨询。化学主席将担任所有化学本科生的共同顾问。所有的本科生都必须为其科学课程组成学习社区学习小组。当PD认为学生需要额外的方向时，将以同伴领导的领导者分配给特定的研究小组。同伴领袖将根据需要指导研究小组活动，解决问题和讲习班。此外，学生还将参加英语作品的教程。所有的本科生都将定期与PD开会，讨论学术问题并从事学术丰富活动。随着学生通过其学术课程的进步，丰富活动将改变，以便他们适合学生的发展阶段。本科生将在大二年初开始壁内研究经验，并每周与他们的研究导师开会以评估他们的进步。他们将被要求至少通过不同的实验室进行两次轮换，然后才能定居为永久实验室，以进行其余的本科培训。他们还将被要求参加至少一项壁外研究经验。 RISE计划的研究生组成部分的目标是：1）增加获得博士学位的学生人数。在Cau上强调生物医学； 2）增加CAU博士生撰写的出版物数量； 3）增加接受博士后培训或私营部门的生物医学职位的学位获得者的数量。研究生将被接受为生物科学系或化学系的研究生课程的研究生计划。对他们培训的贡献将确保将其置于认可的崛起导师的生产生物医学实验室中，并在学术界，政府或私营部门的生物医学科学家中获得成功而专业发展。学生将参加每周的生物医学期刊俱乐部，每周的生物医学研讨会系列以及其研究兴趣领域的年度全国会议。此外，学生将参加一系列旨在增强其专业发展的研讨会和活动。这些研讨会和活动将包括赠款和手稿写作，研究道德，实验室管理和预算，论文和论文准备的领域，指导年轻学生的艺术和好处的艺术以及为博士后经验做准备。
