U-RISE at City College of New York

提出的U-Rise计划的目标是进一步增加符合条件的 来自代表性不足群体的本科生继续攻读博士学位 在生物医学和行为科学方面。该项目将由代表 协调计划，包括本科生招聘，广泛的研究经验， 和研究生院的准备。这些活动的中心是研究、培训和 辅导，并为U-Rise学员提供专门的课程，为他们准备迎接严酷的挑战 研究生培训的一部分。预期的实习生结果是所有实习生都能获得理科学士学位 学位，在宿主实验室接受广泛的研究培训，以便更好地理解 如何框定和解决科学问题，在地方和国家范围内展示他们的工作 会议，与人合著一本出版物，增加他们的自我认知和自信 科学家，申请并被录取到研究生课程。我们将招收以下学生 进入生物系、生物医学系的实验室 工程学、化学与生物化学、地球与大气科学、物理学和 心理学；导师池还包括来自纽约大学生物医学学院的教职员工 教育和城市大学高级科学研究中心。学生将被任命为 他们最后2-3年的本科学习。他们将从事有指导的独立工作 研究；定期与学生同龄人、导师和 U-Rise项目主任和咨询委员会；并将参与专业 发展研讨会。我们还将与其他CCNY培训项目合作，为 为我们的教师导师举办辅导发展研讨会。我们将利用我们的合作伙伴关系 与纽约城市大学系统中的社区学院合作，以确定潜在的 受训人员，以及纽约市的机构，如纽约结构生物学 斯隆-凯特琳纪念癌症中心或哥伦比亚大学医学中心 为我们的学生提供更多的培训机会。新U型升降器的实施 该计划将使理科尖子生受益，包括实习生和非实习生，从而 实现加强学院人才培养能力的目标 科学，并加强他们在城市学院的研究培训经验。

The goal of the proposed U-RISE program is to further increase the number of qualified undergraduates from underrepresented groups who continue their education at the Ph.D. level in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The project will consist of activities that represent a coordinated program that includes undergraduate recruitment, extensive research experience, and graduate school preparation. These activities are centered around research training and mentoring, coupled with specific courses for the U-RISE trainees to prepare them for the rigors of postgraduate training. The intended trainee outcomes are that all trainees earn their BS degree, receive extensive research training in a host laboratory so that they better understand how to frame and address scientific questions, present their work at local and national conferences, co-author a publication, increase their self-perception and confidence as scientists, and apply and be admitted to graduate programs. We will recruit students for placement into the laboratories of faculty in the departments of Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Earth & Atmospheric Science, Physics, and Psychology; the pool of mentors also includes faculty from the CUNY School of Biomedical Education and the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center. Students will be appointed for their final 2-3 years of undergraduate study. They will engage in mentored independent research; have regular advising and scientific meetings with their student peers, mentor, and the U-RISE program director and advisory committee; and will participate in professional development seminars. We will also partner with other CCNY training programs to provide mentoring development workshops for our faculty mentors. We will leverage our partnerships with community colleges in the City University of New York system to identify potential trainees, and with institutions in New York City such as the New York Structural Biology Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, or Columbia University Medical Center to offer expanded training opportunities for our students. The implementation of the new U-RISE program will benefit top science students, both trainees as well as non-trainees, thereby meeting the goals of strengthening the capability of the college to train students in the sciences, and enhancing their research training experience at City College.
