MBRS IMSD UMDNJ-Rutgers University Pipeline Program

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是为了继续支持UMDNJ-罗格斯大学管道计划，以帮助代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生进入生物医学研究领域。中心目标1是增加获得博士学位的URM学生人数。在生物医学研究相关领域获得学位，然后从事研究工作。主要活动是为本科生（“RISE在罗格斯大学/UMDNJ”）和URM研究生谁增加了灵活性和增强支持服务的核心课程在分子生物科学竞争激烈的研究生课程的培训住宅夏季研究计划，涉及UMDNJ和罗格斯大学。我们将继续完善和改进这些计划。我们还将专注于吸引更多的罗格斯大学URM本科生进入夏季RISE计划或其他机构的夏季研究经验，并进入学年计划，支持URM学生在学年期间进行研究。博士学位我们的目标是提高他们的表现，特别是通过增加同伴辅导和认知技能评估的利用。此外，我们亦正研究其他方法，以增加课程的灵活性，从而更切合学员的不同兴趣。目标2是鼓励和支持罗伯特伍德约翰逊医学院（RWJMS）的URM医学生成为医生科学家。我们将继续为医学生在学年和夏季进行研究提供支持。我们还将增加机会和可取性的医学博士/博士程序. URM学生的生物医学研究生涯的培训，通过博士学位，医学博士，或医学博士/博士路径，服务于国家需要更多更好的科学家，在一个更多样化的生物医学研究环境，同时服务于我们的大学更多样化的学生和教师的战略目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for continued support of the UMDNJ-Rutgers University Pipeline Program for assisting underrepresented minority (URM) students to enter careers in biomedical research. The central Goal 1 is to increase the number of URM students who obtain the Ph.D. degree in a field related to biomedical research, and who then pursue research careers. The principal activities are a residential summer research program for undergraduates ("RISE at Rutgers/UMDNJ") and the training of URM graduate students who have increased flexibility and enhanced support services in the Core Curriculum of the highly competitive Graduate Programs in the Molecular Biosciences, involving both UMDNJ and Rutgers. We will maintain and continue to refine these programs. We will also focus on attracting additional Rutgers URM undergraduates into the summer RISE program or summer research experiences at other institutions, and into the Academic Year Program that supports URM students performing research during the academic year. For Ph.D. students, our goals are to improve their performance, particularly through increased utilization of Peer Tutoring and Cognitive Skills assessments. We are also exploring additional approaches to curriculum flexibility to better match the diverse interests of our trainees. Goal 2 is to encourage and support URM medical students of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) to become physician-scientists. We will continue to provide support for medical students to perform research during the academic year and summers. We will also enhance opportunities and the desirability of the M.D./Ph.D. program. The training of URM students for biomedical research careers, through the Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. paths, serves a national need for more and better scientists, in a more diverse biomedical research environment, while serving the strategic goals of our Universities for a more diverse student body and faculty.
