RISE at Prairie View A&M University

描述（由申请人提供）：在Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU)，生物医学科学作为一项职业仍处于起步阶段。因此，我们提出的RISE计划的总体目标是在生物和化学参与部门建立一个强大的生物医学研究人员社区，从而使研究成为学生，教师和机构发展的重要组成部分。反过来，继续攻读生物医学博士课程的毕业生数量将显著增加。我们会透过以下可衡量的目标来达成目标：(1)在拨款周期结束前，使参与学系从事生物医学科学研究的本科生人数由8人增至24人，增加50%；(2)在资助期内，每年将学生撰写的论文数量增加80%；(3)在专业会议上发表论文的参与系学生人数比基线增加100%；(4)在资助周期结束前，将参与部门从事生物医学研究的教员人数由25%（4/17）增加到100% (8/17)；(5)通过组织研讨会，提高学生对生物医学科学职业选择和生物医学研究伦理的认识；(6)通过组织暑期工作坊，提高学生的GRE成绩，促进研究生院申请流程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biomedical science as a career is still in its infancy stage at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU). Therefore, the overall goal of our proposed RISE program is to build a strong community of biomedical researchers in the participating departments of Biology and Chemistry, thereby making research an important component of student, faculty and institutional development. In turn, the number of our graduates who go on to doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences will increase significantly. The goals will be achieved through the following measurable objectives: (1) increase the number of undergraduate students in participating departments who are engaged in biomedical science research by 50% from baseline of 8 to 24 by the end of the grant cycle; (2) increase the number of student-authored publications by 80% each year of the grant; (3) increase the number of students from participating departments who present papers at professional conferences by 100% from the baseline; (4) increase the number of faculty in participating departments engaged in biomedical research from 25% (4/17) by 100% (8/17) by the end of the grant cycle; (5) increase student awareness of career options in the biomedical sciences and ethics in biomedical research through organized workshops; (6) improve students' GRE scores and facilitate the graduate school application process through organized summer workshops. The successful execution of the activities that include research participation, summer workshops, and interdepartmental seminars should lead to significant progress toward achieving our goals and measurable objectives.
