RISE Option II: Increasing Minority Admissions to Research Institutions (IMARI)

拟议的增加少数民族招生研究机构（IMARI）计划的目标是增加选择追求先进的生物医学研究事业的竞争力低下的学生的池。IMARI计划将提供：a）早期学术干预部分-通过课后学术强化和充实（ASARE）计划提供教育增强; B）为新生提供指导和咨询部分，直到毕业; c）研究：内部研究前培训计划和校外生物医学研究培训方面。此外，参与者将通过访问科学家计划接触顶级研究人员; d）科学教师发展批判性思维技能的论坛。预计60%的IMARI计划参与者将进入研究生课程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed Increasing Minority Admissions to Research Institutions (IMARI) program is to increase the pool of competitive disadvantaged students electing to pursue advanced biomedical research careers. The IMARI program will provide: a) an early academic intervention component - providing educational enhancement through an After-School Academic Reinforcement and Enrichment (ASARE) program; b) a mentoring and advising component for freshman students, available to them through graduation; c) for research: an in-house pre-research training program and an off-campus biomedical research training aspect. Additionally, participants will be exposed to top researchers through a Visiting Scientist program; d) a forum for science faculty to develop their critical thinking skills. It is expected that 60% of participants in the IMARI program will matriculate into graduate programs.
