RISE at Prairie View A&M University

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学科学作为一种职业在草原视图A&M大学（PVAMU）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学和化学的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，我们的毕业生谁去在生物医学科学博士课程的数量将显着增加。这些目标将通过以下可衡量的目标来实现：（1）在资助周期结束时，将参与部门中从事生物医学科学研究的本科生人数从基线8人增加到24人，增加50%;（2）每年将学生撰写的出版物数量增加80%;（3）参加专业会议的学系学生人数，较基线增加100%;（4）在资助周期结束前，参与部门中从事生物医学研究的教师人数从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和生物医学研究伦理的职业选择的认识;（6）通过组织夏季研讨会，提高学生的GRE成绩，促进研究生院的申请过程。 包括研究参与，夏季研讨会和跨部门研讨会的活动的成功执行应导致实现我们的目标和可衡量的目标取得重大进展。

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.
