U-RISE at Nova Southeastern University

诺瓦东南大学(NSU)是一所西班牙裔服务学院，专注于教学和研究。自.以来 2010年，南加州州立大学增加了招收本科生的活动，特别是来自代表性不足(UR)的本科生 该校的本科生人数翻了一番。南加州州立大学积极寻找研究人员， 建立博士项目，建设高质量的研究设施，创建新的研究机构。U- Rise@NSU提案旨在为STEM UR/UG学生提供增强的培训体验，支持 他们完成学士学位，获得与生物医学相关的研究培训和职业生涯 发展，并进入和完成生物医学，以研究为重点的研究生课程。我们的目标和使命 与NSU和NIH在促进多样性、研究和职业生涯方面的使命保持一致 生物医学科学。NSU UG将是实习生的来源，并拥有大量UR/UG学生 注册了STEM相关学位课程。新计划每年将招收7名UR/UG学员。 他们将与27名教师导师中的任何一人合作，这些导师来自 大学。所有导师都有良好的研究、学术和培训记录，并有充足的研究资金。Dr。 Gannett(Pi)以及Kawai、Minond、Nathanson和Rabion et(Co-is)博士都有出色的研究， 指导和培训资助金的经验，并将指导该计划。这项提案将提供为期两年的 培训经验，使学员具备竞争力，成功过渡到以生物科学为基础的行业 研究生课程，由四个部分组成：(1)生物医学科学的基础教育课程； (2)在有经验和受资助的研究人员的实验室进行实践研究培训； 在研究密集型大学的暑期实习经历与他们在南加州大学的研究活动相一致；以及 (4)职业发展计划，将提高专业技能，允许探索 生物医学景观，并为成功进入生物医学研究生课程做准备。 第一部分和第四部分将通过课堂活动、课程、讲习班和研讨会进行；计划和 旨在了解生物医学科学的性质，支持批判性和独立思考， 重视协作，需要团队合作。组件2和组件3将提供技术、 进行严谨和可重复的研究所需的操作和专业技能，并支持 实习生过渡到以研究为重点的更高学位课程。我们预计80%的U-Rise@NSU 学员将进入生物医学研究生项目；100%的学员将来自UR/UG 90%的人将在四年内毕业率(六年内100%)。

Nova Southeastern University (NSU) is a Hispanic Serving Institute, focused on teaching and research. Since 2010, NSU has increased activities to recruit undergraduates, especially those from underrepresented (UR) minorities, and has doubled its undergraduate population (UG). NSU has actively sought out researchers, established Ph.D. programs, built quality research facilities, and created new research institutes. The U- RISE@NSU proposal aims to provide an enhanced training experience to STEM UR/UG students, supporting them to complete their baccalaureate degree, gain biomedical related research training and career development, and enter and complete biomedical, research-focused graduate program. Our goal and mission is aligned with NSU’s and NIH’s missions related to promoting diversity and research and careers in the biomedical sciences. NSU UG will be the source of trainees and has a significant number of UR/UG students enrolled in STEM related degree programs. The new program will enroll seven new UR/UG trainees per year. They will work with any one of 27 faculty mentors that come from several colleges and institutes within the University. All mentors have strong research, academic, and training records with sufficient research funds. Dr. Gannett (PI), along with Drs. Kawai, Minond, Nathanson, and Rabionet (Co-Is), have outstanding research, mentoring, and training grant experience and will guide the program. This proposal will provide a two-year training experience to prepare trainees to be competitive for successful transition into bioscience-based graduate programs, with four components: (1) a foundational education program in the biomedical sciences; (2) a hands-on research training experience in the laboratories of experienced and funded investigators; (3) a summer internship experience at a research-intensive university aligned with their NSU research activities; and (4) a career enhancement program which will enhance professional skills, allow for exploration of the biomedical landscape, and prepare for successful matriculation into a Biomedical graduate studies program. Components 1 and 4 will occur by classroom activities, courses, workshops, and seminars; planned and designed to inform as to the nature of the biomedical sciences, support critical and independent thinking, the value of working collaboratively, and need for team science. Components 2 and 3 will provide the technical, operational, and professional skills necessary to conduct rigorous and reproducible research, and to support trainee transition into research-focused higher degree programs. We envision that 80% of the U-RISE@NSU trainees will matriculate into a biomedical graduate program; 100% of the trainees will come from UR/UG populations; and 90% will graduation rate within four years (100% within six).
