Biomedical Research at Barry University

描述：自2001年以来，巴里大学的MBR Rise项目正在为生物医学研究企业中代表性不足的少数族裔更好地代表做出贡献。该计划提供综合的发展和监测活动，使我们代表性不足的少数群体能够获得学士学位，并直接进入高度选择性的博士课程。RISE毕业生仍在攻读这些博士学位。此次续签申请的RISE计划目标为2009年3月至2013年2月，旨在提高Barry的研究能力；增强学生的学术准备；提高学生的生物医学研究技能。生物和化学专业的RISE学生作为二年级和三年级学生进入该项目，并参与以下活动：暑期研究开始研讨会；校园研究和暑期研究实习；卓越辅导；研究生院研讨会；在科学会议上发表演讲。RISE学生参加三支柱课程以提高他们的基本和科学写作技能，以及生物信息学课程以提高他们解决生物问题的分析技能。通过这份申请，我们引入了一个新生研究俱乐部，以提高以研究为职业的RISE申请者的数量。对计划活动进行评估，以衡量由可测量目标的增加所定义的计划改进。

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.
