Fayetteville State University RISE Program

描述（由申请人提供）：费耶特维尔州立大学（FSU）是一所公立综合性地区大学，是北卡罗来纳大学系统的16所组成机构之一，也是该州第二古老的公立高等教育机构。FSU是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，拥有137年的卓越教育历史，也是北卡罗来纳州乃至全美最多元化的大学之一。2002年，充满活力的，多方面的FSU rise计划开始了，其总体目标是增加FSU生物学和化学毕业生进入生物医学科学研究生课程的人数。在最初项目取得成功的基础上，fsu rise项目已经扩展到包括行为科学专业的学生。为了实现fsu rise计划的目标，活动旨在解决四个目标，重点是学生，教师和机构发展。一系列分阶段的学生发展活动旨在加强学习成绩，并提供从大一预科到大四的研究培训。每年参加该计划，学生建立在技能发展和获得新的经验，为进入生物医学和行为科学研究生课程的竞争做准备。真实世界的研究经验是通过校外暑期实习和校内研究活动获得的。教师发展和机构发展活动旨在加强该机构的研究培训基础设施。FSU-RISE计划持续成功实施的预期结果是：(1)每年进入该计划的12名学者中至少有9名（75%）将继续攻读科学或心理学专业；(2) 100%完成课程的学生将在毕业后进入FSU的研究生课程；(3)每年75%的FSU-RISE毕业生将进入生物医学/行为科学博士课程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fayetteville State University (FSU), a public comprehensive regional university, is one of the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System and the second-oldest public institution of higher education in the state. A historically black institution with a rich 137-year history of excellence in education, FSU is also one of the most diverse universities in North Carolina and the nation. In 2002, the dynamic, multi-faceted FSU-RISE Program was begun with the overarching goal of increasing the number of well-prepared Biology and Chemistry FSU graduates entering graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Based upon the success of the initial program, the FSU-RISE Program has been expanded in this application to include students in the behavioral sciences as well. To achieve the goal of the FSU-RISE Program, activities have been designed to address four objectives focused on student, faculty, and institutional development. A series of phased-in student development activities are designed to strengthen academic performance and provide research training beginning with pre-freshmen and continuing through the senior year. Each year of participation in the program, students build upon skills developed and gain new experiences in preparation for competitive entry into graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Real world research experience is gained through extramural summer internships and intramural research activities. Faculty development and institutional development activities are designed to enhance the research training infrastructure at the institution. The expected outcomes of the continued successful implementation of the FSU-RISE Program are: (1) at least 9 of 12 scholars (75%) entering the program each year will persist in a science or psychology major; (2) 100% of scholars completing the program will be accepted into a graduate program following graduation from FSU; and (3) each year, 75% of the FSU-RISE scholars who graduate will enter a doctoral program in the biomedical / behavioral sciences.
