NMSU RISE to the Postdoctorate Program: Option III

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥州州立大学RISE计划通过支持NMSU学生完成博士学位，使健康科学家社区多样化，这些学生是生物医学/生物行为研究中代表性不足的群体的成员。NMSU能够实现这一目标，是因为该机构作为博士，研究密集型（NIH-INBRE），土地补助，少数民族（西班牙裔）服务大学的独特地位，拥有多样化的学生群体和一批有成就的导师。12年NMSU上升研究教育计划的主要成果是：87%保留到科学事业后NMSU博士完成; 97%保留到学位完成NMSU博士生;学生撰写的出版物;学生独立支持的成就;国家承认学生的研究卓越;和学生进入博士后职位R1机构。本申请要求资金继续培养12个上升到博士后（RTP）研究生每年根据上升选项三。该项目的目标是：1）RTP/MS将使75%的MS学者完成MS学位，并随后进入博士课程; 2）RTP/PhD将使90%的博士学者完成博士学位，并随后进入博士后职位。在NMSU上升计划的学生通过指导的研究经验，专业发展活动，正式课程，科学研讨会，开发尖端的定量和技术技能，并通过他们的研究社交网络的指导扩展，为他们的职业生涯的下一步做好准备。三个发展活动将提供核心技能，为学生在不同的科学领域和职业生涯中取得成功做好准备：活动1，21世纪世纪的研究领导力，发展专业技能，最大限度地提高研究生产力，资助成功，并在5年内完成学位;活动2，为教授职位做准备，提供核心教学和指导技能，这对教师职位的学术成功至关重要;活动3，启动（通过联合伙伴关系的学生培训和研究）提供科学和技术研讨会，并通过与R1大学系主任，项目主任和中心领导建立正式网络来加强学生的场外研究培训。RTP学生通过准备个性化的发展计划和电子专业投资组合进行年度审查，并通过提交奖学金和实习申请，引导他们走向职业独立。RTP学生活动通过课程设置或通过研究生院和NMSU教学学院组织的全校范围的研讨会传播而制度化。学生参加研究中负责任行为的正规教育，这是由教师导师的做法和教育活动与同事在启动网络合作开发的加强。对方案做法和成果的评估和评价被纳入方案要素的设计和不断完善。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New Mexico State University RISE Program is diversifying the community of health scientists by supporting PhD degree completion by NMSU students who are members of groups underrepresented in biomedical/biobehavioral research. NMSU is able to achieve this goal because of the institution's unique status as a doctoral, research-intensive (NIH-INBRE), land grant, minority (Hispanic) serving university with a diverse student population and a cadre of accomplished mentors. Key outcomes of the twelve-year NMSU RISE research education program are: 87% retention to science careers after NMSU PhD completion; 97% retention to degree completion by NMSU PhD students; student-authored publications; achievement of student independent support; national recognition for student research excellence; and student entry to postdoctoral positions in R1 institutions. This application requests funds to continue to train twelve RISE to the Postdoctorate (RTP) graduate students yearly under RISE Option III. The Project Aims are: 1) RTP/MS will enable completion of the MS degree by 75% of the MS Scholars and their subsequent entry to PhD programs; 2) RTP/PhD will enable completion of a PhD by 90% of the PhD Scholars and their subsequent entry to postdoctoral positions. Students in the NMSU RISE Program are prepared for the next step of their career through mentored research experiences, professional development activities, formal courses, scientific workshops that develop cutting edge quantitative and technical skills, and through the guided expansion of their research social network. Three developmental activities will provide core skills to prepare students for success in different scientific fields and careers: Activity 1, Research Leadership in the 21st Century, develops the professional skills that maximize research productivity, funding success, and degree completion in 5 years; Activity 2, Preparing for the Professoriate, provides core teaching and mentorship skills essential for academic success in faculty positions; Activity 3, START-UP (Student Training and Research through United Partnerships) provides scientific and technical workshops and enhanced student off-site research training by establishing a formal network with R1 university department heads, program directors, and center leaders. RTP students are guided toward career independence through preparation of individualized development plans and electronic professional portfolios for yearly review, and through submission of fellowship and internship applications. RTP student activities are institutionalized through course offerings or through dissemination in university-wide workshops organized by the Graduate School and NMSU Teaching Academy. Students participate in formal education in Responsible Conduct in Research that is reinforced by faculty mentor practices and educational activities developed in partnership with colleagues in the START-UP network. Assessment and evaluation of program practices and outcomes are integrated into the design and continual refinement of programmatic elements.
