DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The FSU-RISE program is located at Fayetteville State University (FSU), the second-oldest historically black public institution of higher education in the state and one of the 17 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System. Based upon the success of the FSU-RISE program since its inception in 2002, this application proposes to expand the dynamic, multi-faceted program to include math and computer science majors in the third funding cycle. The overarching goal of FSU-RISE is to increase the number of well-prepared Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Math, and Computer Science FSU graduates entering graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences by having at least 75% (9 of 12) FSU-RISE graduates enroll in doctoral programs each year. To achieve this goal, four objectives have been proposed: (1) To enhance the academic preparation of biology, chemistry, psychology, math and computer science majors so that at least 80% of students earn a 3.0 GPA or better each year; (2) To provide students with research training and hands-on research experiences so that at least 85% of students will engage in research each year; (3) To enhance the capability of at least 75% (45 of 60) of faculty to provide biomedical and behavioral research training through development workshops each year; and (4) To improve the biomedical and behavioral research training environment at FSU by engaging at least 75% (45 of 60) of faculty in research-related activities each year. To address these objectives, a series of phased-in student development activities have been designed to strengthen the academic performance and research skills of students beginning with pre-freshmen and continuing through the senior year. Each year of participation in the program, students build upon skills developed and gain new experiences in preparation for competitive entry into graduate schools. Real world research experience is gained through extramural summer internships and intramural research activities. Faculty development and institutional development activities are designed to enhance the research training infrastructure at the institution. The expected outcomes of the continued successful implementation of the FSU-RISE Program are: (1) 75% of students entering the program each year will persist in the science, psychology, math and computer science major; (2) 100% of scholars completing the program will be accepted into a graduate program following graduation from FSU; and (3) each year, 75% of the FSU-RISE scholars who graduate will enter a doctoral program in biomedical/behavioral science fields. Formative and summative reports will be used to evaluate program performance measures and effectiveness. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Relevance: The FSU-RISE program provides academic preparation and research training for FSU minority students, who will pursue and complete advanced degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：FSU-RISE计划位于费耶特维尔州立大学（FSU），该州历史上第二古老的黑人公立高等教育机构，也是北卡罗来纳州系统大学的17个组成机构之一。基于FSU-RISE计划自2002年成立以来的成功，该申请建议扩大动态，多方面的计划，将数学和计算机科学专业纳入第三个资助周期。FSU-RISE的总体目标是增加准备充分的生物学，化学，心理学，数学和计算机科学FSU毕业生进入生物医学和行为科学研究生课程的数量，每年至少有75%（12个中的9个）FSU-RISE毕业生参加博士课程。为了实现这一目标，提出了四个目标：（1）加强生物学，化学，心理学，数学和计算机科学专业的学术准备，使至少80%的学生每年获得3.0 GPA或更高;（2）为学生提供研究培训和实践研究经验，使至少85%的学生每年从事研究;（3）提高至少75%（60人中的45人）的教师的能力，通过每年的开发研讨会提供生物医学和行为研究培训;（4）通过每年至少75%（60人中的45人）的教师参与研究相关活动，改善FSU的生物医学和行为研究培训环境。为了实现这些目标，设计了一系列分阶段的学生发展活动，以加强学生的学习成绩和研究技能，从新生开始，一直持续到高年级。每年参加该计划，学生建立在发展的技能，并获得新的经验，为竞争进入研究生院做准备。通过校外暑期实习和校内研究活动获得真实的世界研究经验。教师发展和机构发展活动旨在加强该机构的研究培训基础设施。继续成功实施FSU-RISE计划的预期结果是：（1）每年进入该计划的学生中有75%将坚持科学，心理学，数学和计算机科学专业;（2）完成该计划的学者100%将在FSU毕业后被接受进入研究生课程;（3）每年有75%的FSU-RISE学者毕业后将进入生物医学/行为科学领域的博士课程。形成性和总结性报告将用于评估项目绩效指标和有效性。 公共卫生关系：相关性：FSU-RISE计划为FSU少数民族学生提供学术准备和研究培训，他们将攻读并完成生物医学和行为科学的高级学位。
