U-RISE at University of Alaska Anchorage ("Biomed U-RISE")

项目摘要/摘要 阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校(UAA)是一所多元化的以本科生为主的大学，位于美国最大的 阿拉斯加的人口中心。大约90%的学生来自阿拉斯加，50%的新生 学生来自安克雷奇，那里包括美国最多样化的人口普查区域。约34%的 学生群体由少数族裔学生组成，5%的学生是阿拉斯加原住民。事实上, 在过去的7年里，从目标专业毕业的学生中有62%来自少数族裔。 或其他代表性不足的群体。拟议的计划将分别支持4名初中生和4名高中生 一年级后共有20名生物、化学和自然科学专业的学生参加。这个 该计划的目标如下：1.招收一批致力于 完成他们的学士学位并过渡到生物医学，专注于研究的更高学位，2。 吸收Build Exito和其他本科生最成功的实践和创新 为传统的学生提供全面和循证的培训计划 在生物医学领域的代表性不足，以及3.培养人们对研究的兴趣并支持向研究的过渡-- 面向生物医学的研究生课程。我们将积极争取为学员提供学术支持 基础、实践经验、职业发展技能和关键的心理社会因素 在生物医学科学方面培养全面发展的毕业生。为期两年的Bimed U-Rise项目 将从以队列为基础的夏季训练营和入门培训、实验室入门培训和 为学员准备好开始在实验室工作以获得关键经验的研究实习 在学期之前。受训者将参加秋季的一个科学会议，将参加 参加丰富活动，并将在一个较大的机构有暑期研究经验。有了这些 根据经验，第二年的学员将担任第一年学员的同伴导师。该计划 学员的结果如下：1.90%的学员将从已确定的生物医学学科毕业，2.85%的学员将毕业。 在OHSU或类似的研究机构完成暑期研究强化体验，3.90%的人将参加 至少一次科学会议，4.80%的人会在科学会议上发表海报或论文，5.80%的人会 展示生物医学研究职业准备的证据(毕业时GPA为3.5或更高)，6. 70%的人将在毕业后两年内申请研究生课程，7.60%的人将被研究生录取 生物医学科学方面的课程。通过这项计划，我们将满足更大的需求，以增加 生物医学劳动力的多样性，以反映不断变化的人口结构。

Project Summary/Abstract University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) is a diverse primarily undergraduate institution located in the largest population center in Alaska. Approximately 90% of students are from Alaska and 50% of the incoming students are from Anchorage, which includes the most diverse census tract in the US. Approximately 34% of the student body is comprised of minority students with 5% of the student body being Alaska Natives. In fact, 62% of the students graduating from the target majors over the last 7 years were from minoritized racial/ethnic or other underrepresented groups. The proposed program will support 4 junior and 4 senior students each year after the first year for a total of 20 students with majors in Biology, Chemistry, and Natural Sciences. The program objectives are as follows: 1. To recruit a diverse pool of undergraduates who are committed to completing their baccalaureate degrees and transitioning into a biomedical, research-focused higher degree, 2. To incorporate the most successful practices and innovations from BUILD EXITO and other undergraduate research programs into a comprehensive and evidence-based training program for students traditionally underrepresented in biomedical fields, and 3. To foster interest in and support the transition into research- oriented biomedical graduate programs. We will actively seek to provide for the trainees the academic foundation, the practical hands-on experience, the professional development skills, and key psychosocial aspects to develop well-rounded graduates in the biomedical sciences. The 2-year Biomed U-RISE program will begin with a cohort-based summer Boot Camp and Orientation Enrichment, a Laboratory Orientation, and a Research Placement that will prepare the trainees to begin working in the laboratory to gain key experience prior to the academic semester. The trainees will attend a scientific conference in the fall, will participate in enrichment activities, and will have a summer research experience at a larger institution. With these experiences, the second year trainees will serve as peer mentors for the first year trainees. The program outcomes for trainees are as follows: 1. 90% will graduate from the identified biomedical disciplines, 2. 85% will complete a summer research intensive experience at OHSU or similar research institution, 3. 90% will attend at least 1 scientific conference, 4. 80% will present a poster or paper at a scientific conference, 5. 80% will show evidence of biomedical research career preparedness (having a GPA of 3.5 or higher at graduation), 6. 70% will apply to graduate programs within 2 years of graduation, and 7. 60% will be accepted into graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Through this program we will address the larger need to increase the diversity in the biomedical workforce to reflect the changing demographics.
