U-RISE at Clark Atlanta University

项目总结 克拉克·亚特兰大大学(CAU)的U-Rise项目旨在将学术前景看好的 本科生横跨STEM各学科，攻读生物医学博士学位。 我们认识到，千禧一代的科学家将被期望跟上日益增长的使用量化 以及计算方法，以便从大数据集中检测模式来回答生物学问题。 因此，通过精心设计的培训计划，与一群坚定的学术领袖和 教师导师，我们建议让一群有前途的学者参与真正的跨学科课程， 建立在CAU提供的基础上(通过U-Rise Prep计划)。我们的总体目标是- CAU的RISE计划将对学生留校率和毕业率产生重大和可衡量的影响 在我们的STEM专业内，这样这些受过专门训练的学者就可以顺理成章地进入博士学习。 鉴于CAU有三个主要区别：1)最大的联合黑人大学基金(UNF)机构；2) 卡内基R2研究分类--研究活动频繁的博士生大学；3)第四大 作为非裔美国人博士的创造者，我们处于有利地位，能够为我们国家的议程做出实质性贡献 通过培养具有竞争力的科学家来增强其研究和创新能力 传统上在生物医学领域的代表性不足。我们计划的目标是培养一支人才库 有能力在高素质、研究密集型机构取得成功的本科生 学生和学院成员在实施包括课程改进在内的培训计划时， 专业编程和沉浸研究，很早就开始，并在直接支持和协调下进行 来自精心匹配的教师导师的咨询。通过投资于包容性的培训环境，为 一群有前途的年轻科学家，我们打算创建一个旨在提供一个框架的计划，即 以技术-运营-专业战略构建，基于负责任的行为价值观 追求研究，并通过量身定做和有意义的课程和专业发展来丰富 在攻读研究生方面变得更具竞争力的模块。有计划进行持续的评估和 传播，我们打算与其他受到挑战的人分享我们的知识和结果 保留和项目进步，特别是在其他历史上许多黑人学院和大学 美国下一代伟大的生物医学研究人员。

PROJECT SUMMARY The U-RISE Program at Clark Atlanta University (CAU) is designed to transition academically promising undergraduates spread across the breadth of STEM disciplines into doctoral programs in biomedical sciences. We recognize that millennial scientists will be expected to keep pace with increasing demands to use quantitative and computational approaches in order to detect patterns from large datasets to answer biological questions. Therefore, through a thoughtfully designed training program with a committed group of academic leaders and faculty mentors, we propose to engage a cohort of promising scholars in a truly interdisciplinary curriculum that builds on a foundation provided by CAU (through the U-RISE Prep Program). Our overall objective for the U- RISE Program at CAU is to have a significant and measurable impact on student retention and completion rates within our STEM majors so that these specially trained scholars then progress logically into doctoral studies. Given that CAU holds three major distinctions: 1) the largest United Negro College Fund (UNCF) institution; 2) a Carnegie R2 research classification—a doctoral university with high research activity; and 3) the fourth largest generator of African American PhDs, we are well-positioned to substantively contribute to our nation’s agenda of growing its research and innovation capacity through the preparation of competitive scientists who continue to be traditionally underrepresented in the biomedical field. Our planned objectives span fostering a talented pool of undergraduate students who are capable of thriving in high-caliber, research-intensive institutions both as students and members of the academy while undertaking a training plan that includes curricular enhancements, specialized programming, and research immersion that begins early and orchestrated with direct support and consultation from carefully matched faculty mentors. By investing in an inclusive, training environment for a cohort of promising young scientists, we intend to create a program that is designed to offer a framework, that is constructed with a technical-operational-professional strategy, grounded in the values of responsible conduct for the pursuit of research, and enriched with a tailored and meaningful curriculum and professional development modules to become competitive in the pursuit of graduate studies. With plans for ongoing evaluations and dissemination, we intend to share our knowledge and outcomes with others who have been challenged with retention and program advancement, particularly at other historically black colleges and universities where many of America’s next generation of great biomedical researchers can be discovered.
