Biomedical Research at Barry University

描述：巴里大学的MBRS RISE项目，自2001年以来，致力于更好地代表生物医学研究企业中未被充分代表的少数民族。该项目提供综合发展和监督活动，使我们未被充分代表的少数民族能够获得学士学位，并直接进入高选择性的博士课程。RISE的毕业生仍然在攻读这些博士课程。2009年3月至2013年2月期间，RISE项目的目标是提高巴里的研究能力；加强学生的学术准备；提高学生的生物医学研究技能。生物和化学专业的RISE学生作为大二和大三的学生进入该项目，并参加：夏季研究开端研讨会；校内研究和暑期研究实习；卓越辅导；研究生院工作坊；在科学会议上的演讲。RISE的学生选修“三大支柱”课程，以提高他们的基础和科学写作技能；选修“生物信息学”课程，以提高他们解决生物问题的分析能力。通过这个申请，我们引入了一个新生研究俱乐部，以增加RISE申请者的数量，并将研究作为职业。对项目规划活动进行评估，以衡量由可测量目标的增加所定义的项目规划改进。

DESCRIPTION: Barry University's MBRS RISE program, since 2001, is contributing to a better representation of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical research enterprise. The program provides integrated developmental and monitored activities that allow our underrepresented minorities to receive the Bachelors degree and directly enter into highly selective PhD programs. RISE graduates are still enrolled in these PhD programs. The RISE program goal for this renewal application, March 2009-February 2013, is to increase the research capacity of Barry; increase academic preparedness of students and; increase students biomedical research skills. RISE students who are biology and chemistry majors enter the program as sophomores and juniors and participate in: summer Research Beginnings Workshop; on- campus research and summer research internships; tutoring for excellence; graduate school workshops; presentations at scientific meetings. RISE students enroll in the Three Pillar course to improve their basic and scientific writing skills, and the Bioinformatics course to improve their analytical skills to address biological problems. With this application we are introducing a Freshman Research Club to improve the pool of RISE applicants with the mind set of research as a career. Program activities are evaluated to measure program improvement defined by increases in measurable objectives.
