 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since its inception in 1867, Morehouse College has been committed to the proposition of preparing African American men to assume dynamic leadership roles in their chosen professions and communities. Morehouse is a significant contributor to the production of African American male scientists. According to the NSF, in the time spanning 2003-2012, the College was the number one baccalaureate origin institution for black male doctorate recipients in science and engineering, life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, education, and humanities. Morehouse has tremendous potential to contribute to the development of future scientists by preparing them to enter graduate pathways to the PhD and careers in the biomedical sciences. The overarching goals of the Morehouse College "RISE to Excellence" Program are to: 1) enhance the science curriculum, exposure to research and research infrastructure at Morehouse College; 2) improve the outcomes of RISE scholars such that 95% will be retained in the sciences, 60% will enter PhD programs immediately after graduation, 75% will enter within three years of graduation, and 70% of RISE graduates will complete the PhD; 3) increase the number and percentage of Morehouse students retained in the sciences from 50-70%, and the 6-year graduation rate in the sciences from 53% to 65%, and 4) increase the overall number of STEM graduates pursuing and completing PhDs in the biomedical sciences. The RISE Program will integrate best practices to provide academic and social integration and support, develop skills and knowledge, provide support and motivation to excel, and monitor and intervene to assist RISE scholars. The program will enhance the science curriculum, research experiences and exposure to science research among STEM majors to enhance retention and pursuit of PhDs in the biomedical sciences. Two major activities are proposed. Component I: Training for RISE Scholars. Freshman/Sophomore Training will include intensive academic advising, training in responsible conduct of research, academic year and summer research experiences, presentations of research at professional meetings, and participation in a science research seminar series. Junior/Senior Training will include academic and graduate school advising, intensive research experiences during the academic year and summer, presentations at professional meetings and the Research Café, participation in a science research seminar series and journal club activity, and science related service. Eligible junior and senior RISE scholars will participate in the Transdisciplinary Science Research course and the Grant Writing course. All RISE scholars will benefit from peer and faculty guided individual and group mentoring, as well as participation in team and program identity building activities. Component II includes three curricular enhancements; expansion of the Phages intervention into all introductory level Biology courses, and the offering of two courses (Transdisciplinary Science Research course and Grant writing course) sponsored by the RISE and MARC Programs. Other proposed activities include the RISE Research Café, a research seminar series, and graduate school tours for Morehouse STEM undergraduates.

 描述（由申请人提供）：自1867年成立以来，莫尔豪斯学院一直致力于准备非洲裔美国人在他们所选择的职业和社区中担任动态领导角色的主张。Morehouse是非洲裔美国男性科学家生产的重要贡献者。根据NSF的数据，在2003年至2012年期间，该学院是科学与工程、生命科学、物理科学、社会科学、教育和人文科学领域黑人男性博士学位获得者的第一学士学位来源机构。莫尔豪斯有巨大的潜力，以促进未来科学家的发展，准备他们进入研究生途径博士学位和职业生涯在生物医学科学。莫尔豪斯学院“卓越崛起”计划的总体目标是：1）加强莫尔豪斯学院的科学课程，研究和研究基础设施的接触; 2）提高RISE学者的成果，使95%将留在科学领域，60%将在毕业后立即进入博士课程，75%将在毕业后三年内进入，70%的RISE毕业生将完成博士学位; 3）将Morehouse学生留在科学领域的人数和百分比从50- 70%增加，6年的科学毕业率从53%增加到65%，以及4）增加STEM毕业生攻读和完成生物医学科学博士学位的总数。RISE计划将整合最佳实践，以提供学术和社会融合和支持，发展技能和知识，提供支持和激励，以脱颖而出，并监测和干预，以帮助RISE学者。该计划将加强科学课程，研究经验和接触STEM专业的科学研究，以提高保留和追求生物医学科学博士学位。建议开展两项主要活动。第一部分：对RISE学者的培训。大一/大二培训将包括密集的学术咨询，在负责任的研究行为，学年和夏季研究经验，研究在专业会议上的演示文稿的培训，并在科学研究研讨会系列的参与。初级/高级培训将包括学术和研究生院咨询，在学年和夏季密集的研究经验，在专业会议和研究咖啡馆的演示文稿，参加科学研究研讨会系列和期刊俱乐部活动，以及科学相关的服务。合格的初级和高级RISE学者将参加跨学科科学研究课程和赠款写作课程。所有RISE学者将受益于同行和教师指导的个人和团体辅导，以及参与团队和项目身份建设活动。第二部分包括三个课程的增强;扩大噬菌体干预到所有入门级生物学课程，并提供两门课程（跨学科科学研究课程和赠款写作课程）由RISE和MARC计划赞助。其他拟议的活动包括RISE研究咖啡馆，一个研究研讨会系列，和研究生院图尔斯参观莫尔豪斯干本科生。
