RISE Program Hunter College Option III

描述（由申请人提供）：增加来自生物医学和行为研究中代表性不足（UR）群体的学生人数，他们进入并完成博士学位。计划是RISE的主要目标。自2000年以来，亨特学院上升研究发展计划作出了贡献，因为42 UR本科参与者已进入博士或MD/博士课程（13已完成并进入博士后研究）和37 UR研究生完成博士学位，大多数进入博士后培训。此外，还有10名学生加入了教授行列。基于在当前周期中超越大多数国家RISE计划目标，我们提出了一个改进和扩展的生物学，化学，物理学和心理学本科（UG，共20个），硕士（5）和博士（20）专业的计划。该计划是从评估，导师和管理员的投入和新的大学倡议的支持。计划目标已经提高：80%的大学生和硕士生毕业后将进入博士课程，90%的博士生毕业后将进入博士后课程，所有这些都在研究密集型大学。为了实现这些目标，我们进行了修改和补充，以确保大学生将是博士课程的更好的候选人，并准备申请作为老年人。我们还开发了最先进的专业发展工具，并建立了监测和支持遵守和成就的机制。学生将继续在从事国家资助的，有竞争力的，最先进的，生物医学科学研究的实验室中获得研究经验，并且UGs需要在外部研究计划中度过一个夏天;然而，增强的计划涉及教师导师和专业发展协调员对UGs和研究生进行更深入的指导和评估。两人都将参加RISE课程，以促进研究技能，专业发展和灌输负责任的研究知识。研究生还在写作和口头技能，批判性思维和使用在线网络工具方面获得广泛的帮助，并需要提交赠款和 研究论文。研究生还将准备年度个人发展计划（IDP）。我们将利用由学院发起的新工具和计划，监测和跟踪STEM学生以及新任命的学院评估员的服务。我们的计划还通过ARRA补充开发了新的工具。RISE信息和访问跟踪系统提供了NIGMS所需的程序数据的存储，程序评估的信息，以及所有毕业生的跟踪机制。另一个在线资源允许张贴学生文件，可供导师和RISE人员审查和编辑。有了这些工具，我们可以快速确定学生是否正在取得进展，以满足中期里程碑和总体目标，并调整，如果他们没有。最后，我们将继续将RISE计划制度化，并为所有STEM学生扩大机会，以加强学院的研究并进一步实现NIH的目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Increasing the number of students from underrepresented (UR) groups in biomedical and behavioral research who enter and complete Ph.D. programs is the major goal of RISE. Since 2000, the Hunter College RISE Research Development Program has contributed since 42 UR undergraduate participants have entered PhD or MD/PhD programs (13 have completed and entered post doctoral study) and 37 UR graduate students completed PhDs and most entered post doctoral training. Moreover, ten students have joined the professoriate. Based on surpassing most national RISE program objectives in the current cycle, we propose an improved and expanded program for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology undergraduate (UG, 20 total), masters (5) and PhD (20) majors. This program was developed from evaluation, mentor and administrator inputs and support from new college initiatives. Program objectives have been raised: 80% of UGs and MS students will, upon graduation, enter PhD Programs and 90% of PhD students will graduate and enter post doctoral programs, all at research intensive universities. To achieve these objectives, we made changes and additions to ensure that UGs will be better candidates for PhD programs and ready to apply as seniors. We have also developed state of the art professional development tools and instituted mechanisms to monitor and support adherence and achievement. Students will continue to receive research experiences in laboratories engaged in nationally funded, competitive, state of the art, biomedical science research and UGs are required to spend one summer at an external research program; however, the enhanced program involves more intensive mentoring and evaluation by faculty mentors and professional development coordinator for both UGs and Graduate students. Both will attend RISE classes which promote research skills, professional development and instill knowledge for responsible conduct of research. Graduate students also receive extensive assistance in writing and verbal skills, critical thinking and use of on-line networking tools and are required to submit grants and research papers. Graduate students will also prepare annual Individual Developmental Plans (IDP). We will utilize new tools and programs initiated by the college that monitor and track STEM students and the services of the newly appointed college evaluator. Our Program also developed new tools through an ARRA supplement. The RISE Information and Tracking by Access system provides storage of program data required by NIGMS, information for program evaluation, and a tracking mechanism for all graduates. Another on-line resource allows posting of student documents which are available for mentors and RISE personnel for review and editing. With these tools, we can quickly determine whether students are progressing to meet intermediate milestones and overall goals and adjust if they are not. Finally, we will continue to institutionalize RISE initiatives and expand opportunities to all STEM students in order to enhance research at the college and to further NIH goals.
