DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the RISE Program is to increase the number of African-American students who choose careers in biomedical research. Toward this end, we have designed a program with the following goals: (1) promote interest of African-American students in biomedical research careers; (2) increase the number of Xavier RISE students in graduate programs in the biomedical sciences; (3) assist in the development and implementation of the BIO 2010 initiative at Xavier University. In an effort to attain these goals, we plan to organize an interdisciplinary seminar series and career roundtable, provide both intramural and extramural laboratory research experiences, and provide opportunities for students to present the results of their research. We also plan to provide instruction in skills necessary to help students gain acceptance into and do well in biomedical graduate school programs. These skills include technical writing, using the library, oral presentation, and knowledge in responsible conduct in research. Finally, we have proposed to facilitate the initial development of an inquiry-based general biology lab, promote undergraduate research, and develop faculty who can expand and carry on this effort. These efforts will provide students with an overall appreciation for the value of interdisciplinary, technology-driven courses, and hands-on undergraduate research related to a discipline in which progress is defined by technological advances. Having students engaged in such efforts will help to create an environment that fosters interdisciplinary thinking. This RISE Program is designed to increase the number of African-American students who choose careers in biomedical research. Toward this end, we have designed a program that will promote interest of African-American students in biomedical research careers, increase the number of Xavier RISE students in graduate programs in the biomedical sciences, and assist in the development and implementation of the BIO 2010 initiative at Xavier University.

描述(申请人提供)：RISE计划的目的是增加选择生物医学研究职业的非裔美国学生的数量。为此，我们设计了一项具有以下目标的计划：(1)促进非裔美国学生对生物医学研究职业的兴趣；(2)增加生物医学研究生项目的Xavier Rise学生人数；(3)协助Xavier University制定和实施BIO 2010计划。 为了实现这些目标，我们计划组织一系列跨学科研讨会和职业圆桌会议，提供校内和校外实验室研究经验，并为学生提供展示他们研究成果的机会。我们还计划提供必要的技能指导，帮助学生被生物医学研究生院项目接受并取得良好成绩。这些技能包括技术写作、使用图书馆、口头演示和研究中负责任的行为知识。最后，我们建议促进以探究为基础的普通生物学实验室的初步发展，促进本科生的研究，并培养能够扩展和开展这一努力的师资队伍。这些努力将使学生全面认识到跨学科、技术驱动的课程的价值，以及与以技术进步定义进步的学科相关的实践本科研究的价值。让学生参与这样的努力将有助于创造一个促进跨学科思维的环境。 这一RISE计划旨在增加选择生物医学研究职业的非裔美国学生的数量。为此，我们设计了一个项目，该项目将促进非裔美国学生对生物医学研究职业的兴趣，增加生物医学研究生项目的Xavier Rise学生数量，并协助泽维尔大学BIO 2010计划的发展和实施。
