DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Spelman College is a private research-active, historically Black liberal arts college that is a leader in the education of women of color, particularly in the areas of science, mathematics, and engineering. Academic excellence is the heart of the College's mission, in that Spelman women are encouraged to think critically and creatively and to refine their communicative, quantitative, and technological skills. As a result, for the last 10 years, Spelman has been ranked second in the country as baccalaureate institution of origin of Black doctorate recipients. Despite this success, it is well known that in the sciences women are still underrepresented at the PhD level and beyond; for minority women, the data are even worse. The current application enhances aspects of our existing RISE program that have had clear positive outcomes, and introduces new facets to the program, particularly in the area of academic enrichment and preparation for advanced study, so that students can matriculate and graduate from research-intensive Ph.D. programs. Aim 1: To increase student awareness of biomedical research and to encourage students to pursue a career in research, our main focus is the Summer Research Training Program - where we expect at least 50% of rising sophomores to engage in research during the academic year. Aim 2: To develop empirical research knowledge and skills of students so that they will be prepared for the rigor of the advanced research training of doctoral programs, our main focus is the Research Development Program, where RISE Scholars work in research labs with selected faculty mentors - we expect students to demonstrate their knowledge of research through conference presentations and written reports. Aim 3: To increase the number of students going directly to Ph.D. research programs, by making them more competitive for admission. Our central focus is the sequence of research education modules entitled Critical Skills for Investigation (CSI), which are designed to focuses on critical thinking, quantitative skills, research design, reading comprehension, and scientific writing - we expect that the percentage of RISE graduates going directly into doctoral programs will increase to 30% in Year 1, and reach at least 50% by Year 3. Public health relevance: HBCU's have a critical role to play in impacting the current underrepresentation of minority women in the biomedical research pipeline. Currently women and minorities are severely underrepresented among the nation's biomedical scientists. As a historically black research active college Spelman College seeks to address this disparity. The current proposal will continue to prepare black women for doctoral programs as they pursue biomedical research careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：斯佩尔曼学院是一所私立研究活跃，历史上的黑人文科学院，是有色人种女性教育的领导者，特别是在科学，数学和工程领域。学术卓越是学院使命的核心，鼓励斯佩尔曼女性批判性和创造性地思考，并完善他们的沟通，定量和技术技能。因此，在过去的10年里，斯佩尔曼一直排名第二，在该国作为学士学位机构的起源黑人博士学位获得者。尽管取得了这一成功，但众所周知，在科学领域，妇女在博士及以上级别的代表性仍然不足;对于少数民族妇女来说，数据甚至更糟。当前的应用程序增强了我们现有的RISE计划的各个方面，这些方面已经取得了明显的积极成果，并为该计划引入了新的方面，特别是在学术充实和高级学习准备方面，以便学生可以从研究密集型博士学位中录取和毕业。程序.目标1：为了提高学生对生物医学研究的认识，并鼓励学生从事研究工作，我们的主要重点是夏季研究培训计划-我们预计至少有50%的学生在学年期间从事研究。目标二：为了培养学生的实证研究知识和技能，使他们能够为博士课程的高级研究培训做好准备，我们的主要重点是研究发展计划，其中RISE学者在研究实验室与选定的教师导师一起工作-我们希望学生通过会议演示和书面报告展示他们的研究知识。目标3：增加直接攻读博士学位的学生人数。研究项目，使他们更有竞争力的录取。我们的中心重点是研究教育模块的序列题为关键技能调查（CSI），其目的是专注于批判性思维，定量技能，研究设计，阅读理解和科学写作-我们预计RISE毕业生直接进入博士课程的比例将增加到30%在第一年，并达到至少50%的第三年。 公共卫生相关性：HBCU在影响目前少数民族妇女在生物医学研究管道中代表性不足方面发挥着关键作用。目前，妇女和少数民族在国家生物医学科学家中的代表性严重不足。作为一个历史上黑人研究活跃的大学斯佩尔曼学院寻求解决这种差距。目前的提案将继续为黑人妇女攻读博士学位做准备，因为她们从事生物医学研究事业。
