RESEARCH IMPETUS IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES AT CLARK ATL.

克拉克亚特兰大大学建议制定和实施一项计划，解决NIGMS/MORE科学增强研究计划（RISE）的动力，为生物科学和化学的本科生和研究生提供帮助。 RISE计划的本科部分将为学生提供具体的充实活动。 这些包括：1）大一前的大学预科课程; 2）第一年重点课程的小组复习课（例如， 普通生物学，普通化学）; 3）课程，如普通生物学，普通化学，物理学和微积分前所需的教程;和4）每周一次的会议（上升研讨会），讨论的主题将包括适应大学生活，作为一个科学专业的挑战，并在科学的职业选择。这些学术充实活动将随着学生通过其学术课程的进展而变化，以便适合学生的发展阶段。 本科部分还将包含一个研究学徒的要求，从大一后的夏天开始。这种学徒经验将包括具体的研究技术和分配给研究导师（从大二开始）的实际研究表现和随后的研究演示研讨会。 合并学术提升和研究学徒的目标是保留学生在科学专业的轨道，特别是在大一;增加申请并被接受进入研究生院的学生人数，并增加成功完成博士学位的学生人数。生物医学科学学位课程。RISE计划的研究生部分将提供一些学术上的丰富，但主要集中在增加学生接触尖端研究技术，接触当今一些最着名的生物医学科学家，这些学生有机会与富有成效的科学家一起进行研究，在其领域的国家会议上展示他们的研究，并在同行评审的期刊上发表他们的结果。 研究生RISE计划的目标是：1）增加完成博士学位的学生人数。程序; 2）增加博士生撰写的出版物数量，3）增加进入博士后培训的学位获得者数量。

Clark Atlanta University proposes to develop and implement a program addressing the impetus of the NIGMS/MORE Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) for its undergraduate and graduate students in the biological sciences and chemistry. The undergraduate component of the RISE program will provide students with specific enrichment activities. These include: 1) pre-freshman college preparatory courses; 2) group recitation sessions for key first-year courses (e.g., General Biology, General Chemistry); 3) required tutorials for courses such as General Biology, General Chemistry, Physics and Pre- calculus; and 4) a weekly meeting (RISE seminar) where topics of discussion will include adapting to college life, the challenges of being a science major, and the career options in the sciences. These academic enrichment activities will change as the student progresses through their academic programs so that they are appropriate for the developmental phase of the student. The undergraduate component will also contain a research apprenticeship requirement starting in the post-freshman summer. This apprenticeship experience will include workshops on specific research techniques and assignment to a research mentor (starting in the sophomore year) for actual research performance and subsequent research presentation. The goals of the combined academic enhancement and research apprenticeship are to retain students in the science major track especially during the freshman year; to increase the number to students who apply to and are accepted into graduate school, and to increase the number of students who successfully complete Ph.D. degree programs in the biomedical sciences. The graduate component of the RISE program will offer some academic enrichment but will mainly center on increased exposure of the students to cutting edge research technology, exposure to some of the most notable biomedical scientists today, opportunities for these student to do research with productive scientists, to present their research at national meetings in their field and to publish their results in peer-reviewed journals. The goals of the graduate RISE program are to: 1) increase the number of student who complete their Ph.D. program; 2) increase the number of publications authored doctoral students and 3) increase the number of degree recipients who enter into post-doctoral training.
