MBRS RISE PROGRAM

摩根州立大学，“国家的公立城市大学”，有一个传统，服务于一个学术和人口多样化的学生团体。传统上，该机构是一个教学机构，但在过去十年中，研究已成为大学使命的一个组成部分。虽然摩根州立大学的主要目标是为少数民族学生提供培训，主要是非洲裔美国人，进入国家工作队伍，但该提案的总体长期目标是增加未被充分代表的少数民族教师和学生熟悉并有动力从事生物医学研究事业的机会。然而，为了跟上全球社会发生的技术变革，我们的这个项目的目标是(1)增加生物、化学、物理和心理学学科的少数民族学生的数量，他们可以成功地竞争研究生课程，获得博士学位，并通过为学生和教师提供更多的内部和外部研究机会，培养成为未来的生物医学科学家；(2)通过增加生物医学研究研讨会，加强生物医学科学的师资力量和研究项目；为学生和教师提供专业研讨会，以及(3)通过以研讨会的形式建立有限的教师发展计划，帮助加强该机构的研究基础设施的发展；车间;建立研究的种子基金；以及合作研究。此外，还要求继续支持一个行政组成部分，该部分将负责促进本计划所处理活动的整体同步，以便最大限度地实现MBRS RISE计划制定的赠款目标和政策。这个组成部分包括方案主任、联合主任、行政助理、各种活动的协调员和顾问以及一个机构咨询委员会。项目主任和联席主任以及机构咨询委员会将协调和指导摩根州立大学MBRS的研究活动。

Morgan State University, "the State's Public Urban University", has a tradition of serving an academically and demographically diverse student body. Traditionally, the institution is a teaching institution, however in the last ten years, research has become an integral part of the University's mission. Although the primary goal of Morgan State University is to provide for the training of minority students, mainly African Americans, to enter the national work force, the overall long term goal of this proposal is to increase opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students to become acquainted with and motivated to pursue biomedical research careers. However, in order to keep up with the technological changes occurring in the global society, our goal for this program is to (1) increase the number of minority students enrolled within the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology who can successfully compete for graduate programs leading to the Ph.D degree and be nurtured into future biomedical scientists by providing increased research opportunities for students and faculty, internally and externally; (2) strengthen the faculty and research programs in biomedical sciences by increasing biomedical research seminars; providing professional workshops for students and faculty, and (3) aid in enhancing the development of research infrastructure at the institution by establishing a limited faculty development program in the form of seminars; workshops; seed funds to establish research; and collaborative research. In addition support is being requested to continue an administrative component that will be responsible for facilitating the overall synchrony of the activities addressed in this program such that the objectives of the grant and the policies as established by the MBRS RISE program are realized to the maximum level possible. This element consists of the program director, co-director, the administrative assistant, coordinators and consultants for the different activities and an institutional advisory committee. The program director and co-director, along with the institutional advisory committee will coordinate and guide the research activities of the MBRS at Morgan State University.
