Biomedical Research at Barry University

描述(由申请者提供)：巴里大学MBRS Rise项目的目标是：1)提高机构的研究建设能力；2)加强学生和教职员工的生物医学研究技能；3)提高学生的学术准备。 为了实现这些目标，我们确定了八个可衡量的目标： 1)在资助期内，通过15项新的拨款申请，保持所有受支持部门的教师研究效率。 2)支持院系教职员工在推荐性期刊上发表的论文数量保持在每年9篇。 3)在被支持的部门中，将学生和教职员工在科学会议上的陈述数量增加到平均每年50次。 4)在支持的部门中，将参与校内生物医学研究的学生人数增加到每年22人。 5)在受支持的部门中，每年参加暑期研究实习的学生人数增加到18人。 6)在资助期间，将被博士项目录取的RISE参与者数量增加到6人。 7)将学生毕业时的平均科学GPA提高0.2。 8)RISE和补充项目的学生毕业率保持在95%。 2005年3月至2009年2月新资助期的RISE发展计划是在本供资周期(2001年3月至2005年2月)成功实施的学生和教师发展计划的基础上提出的。学生发展计划保持了七个层次结构的基本构成：研究起步讲习班；暑期研究实习；校园研究；系列研讨会；科学会议；GRE讲习班；研究生院讲习班。学院发展计划也有基本结构：暑期研究实习和科学会议。根据当前资助期内这些活动的结果，我们将“重新设计”研究开端工作坊，并增加一个新的学生组成部分--辅导工作坊。对于教员部分，我们将添加研讨会参与。相关的发展部分将从二年级或三年级的前一个暑假开始，一直持续到生物和化学专业的四年级。自然与健康科学学院和艺术与科学学院的全职教职员工将参加活动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Goals of the MBRS RISE program at Barry University are to: 1) Increase the research building capacity of the institution; 2) Strengthen student and faculty biomedical research skills; 3) Increase student academic preparedness. To achieve these goals we have determined eight Measurable Objectives: 1) Maintain faculty research productivity in all supported departments through 15 new grant applications over the funding period. 2) Maintain the number of publications in refereed journals from faculty in supported departments at 9 annually. 3) Among supported departments increase the number of student and faculty presentations at scientific meetings to an average of 50 annually. 4) Among supported departments increase the number of students involved in on-campus biomedical research to 22 students annually. 5) Among supported departments increase the number of students experiencing a summer research internship to 18 annually. 6) Increase the number of RISE participants that are accepted into Ph.D. programs to 6 over the funding period. 7) Increase the average student's cumulative science GPA at graduation by 0.2. 8) Maintain graduation rates for students in RISE and complementary programs at 95%. The RISE Developmental Plan for the new funding period, March 2005 - February 2009, advances from the successful Student and Faculty Development Plan of the current funding cycle, March 2001 - February 2005. The Student Development Plan maintains the basic composition of the seven hierarchical components: Research Beginnings Workshop; Summer Research Internship; On-campus Research; Seminar Series; Scientific Meetings; GRE Workshops; Graduate School Workshops. The Faculty Development Plan also has the basic structure: Summer Research Internship and Scientific Meetings. Based on the outcomes of these activities over the current funding period, we will 're-model' the Research Beginnings Workshop, and add one new student component--Tutorial Workshops. For the faculty component we will add Workshop Participation. The related developmental components will begin the summer preceding the sophomore or junior year and continue into the senior year for biology and chemistry majors. Full-time faculty in the School of Natural and Health Sciences and in Arts and Sciences will participate in the activities.
