RISE Program at Grambling State University

描述（由申请人提供）：格兰布林州立大学（GSU），主要是一个教学机构与有限的研究基础设施和能力。然而，“通过研究和实验鼓励卓越和产生新知识”是大学的使命。作为一所历史上的黑人大学，GSU处于独特的地位，为提高少数民族在生物医学研究领域的代表性做出了重大贡献。GSU RISE计划的长期目标是增加少数民族学生和教师在生物医学研究方面的数量，技能和竞争力。这一目标将通过执行一整套发展活动来实现，这些活动旨在： 1)提高学生参与生物医学研究的兴趣， 2)提高学生的研究技能， 3)在研究密集型机构实施暑期研究实习计划， 4)帮助RISE学生申请研究生院并寻求生物医学研究的职业， 5)实施发展计划，以提高教师的生物医学研究技能。 要求每年10个插槽，为期4年。该项目的实施是可行的，因为该项目的教师在激励少数民族学生方面有丰富的经验，并且以前有过类似项目的经验，包括MARC和桥梁项目。因此，拟议的RISE项目将建立在现有方案奠定的基础上。制定统一的计划，以节省成本，避免重复工作。有大量合格的学生。合作研究密集型机构的指导者将为学生提供夏季研究经验，以补充项目教师提供的校园研究培训。机构承诺反映在格但斯克州立大学行政部门的全力支持上。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Grambling State University (GSU), is primarily a teaching institution with limited research infrastructure and capabilities. However, it is the mission of the university to "encourage excellence and generate new knowledge through research and experimentation". As a Historically Black University, GSU is in a unique position to make significant contribution towards improving the representation of minorities in the area of biomedical research. The long term objective of the RISE Program at GSU is to increase the number, skills and competitiveness of minority students and faculty in biomedical research. This objective will be achieved through the implementation of an integrated set of developmental activities designed to: 1) increase the interest of student participants in biomedical research, 2) increase students' research skills, 3) implement a summer research internship program at research intensive institutions, 4) assist RISE students to apply to graduate schools and seek careers in biomedical research, 5) implement a developmental program to enhance faculty biomedical research skills. Ten slots/yr for four years are requested. Implementation of this project is feasible because the project faculty have a wealth of experience in motivating minority students and have had prior experience with similar projects including MARC and Bridge programs. The proposed RISE project will, therefore, build upon the foundation laid by the existing programs. A unified plan is developed to save costs and avoid duplication of efforts. There is a large pool of qualified students. Preceptors in collaborating research intensive institutions will provide summer research experience for students, to complement on-campus research training provided by project faculty. Institutional commitment is reflected in the full support of GSU administration.
