RISE Option III - Morehouse School of Medicine MBRS/RISE

描述(由申请人提供)：MSM Rise计划的总体目标是增加来自代表不足的群体中成功完成生物医学和行为研究博士学位课程的学生数量，并提高MSM在生物医学和行为科学方面的研究培训产出。MSM Rise计划的具体目标和目标是：目标1-支持博士后研究生完成博士项目，拥有“技能/知识集”，使他们在以研究为基础的博士后和研究资助方面具有竞争力。这一目标将通过以下目标来实现：1)提供提高科学写作、批判性思维和沟通技能的发展活动；2)利用MSM研究企业的广度和实力来加强对博士生的培训；3)提供培训，以增强学生在研究中使用生物信息学的理解。目标2--支持硕士研究生培养具有竞争力的博士项目“技能集”。以下目标将针对这一目标：1)提供个人辅导支持和学生发展活动，以提高写作、批判性思维和沟通能力；2)为以下方面提供研究培训机会 硕士研究生和高生产力的研究导师；3)设计实践工作坊系列，专注于为硕士学生寻求博士培训机会做准备。目标3-建立一个RISE研究生学习社区，这将增强所有RISE学生的毕业体验。这一目标是通过以下目标实现的：1)建立点对点辅导和辅导员网络计划；2)扩大领导力发展活动；3)继续“科学状况”和职业发展研讨会系列，并发起学生研究研讨会系列。预期的里程碑包括：学生发起的摘要质量明显提高；发表的手稿数量增加；平均毕业率达到90%，平均80%的RISE毕业生进入以研究为基础的博士后奖学金；生物信息学软件在研究中的使用增加；以及学生将发表包含生物信息学产生的数据的手稿。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the MSM RISE Program is to increase the number of students from under-represented groups who successfully complete Ph.D. degree programs in biomedical and behavioral research, and to enhance the research training output of MSM in biomedical and behavioral sciences. The specific goals and objectives of the MSM RISE Program are: Goal #1 - Support predoctoral graduate students in completing the Ph.D. Program with a "skill/knowledge set" that will make them competitive for research-based postdoctoral and research grant support. This goal will be addressed with the following objectives: 1) Provide development activities that improve scientific writing, critical thinking an communication skills; 2) Utilize the breadth and strength of the MSM research enterprise to enhance training of predoctoral students; 3) Provide training that will enhance students' understanding of using bioinformatics in research. Goal #2 - Support Masters graduate students in developing "skill sets" competitive for Ph.D. programs. The following objectives will address this goal: 1) Provide individual tutorial support and student development activities to enhance writing, critical thinking and communication skills; 2) Provide research training opportunities for Master students with highly productive research mentors; 3) Design practical workshop series focused on preparing Master students to pursue Ph.D. training opportunities. Goal #3 - Establish a RISE Graduate Student Learning Community that will enhance the graduate experience for all RISE students. This goal is addressed by the following objectives: 1) Establish a Peer-to-Peer mentoring and Mentor-Mentee Networking Program; 2) Expand leadership development activities; 3) Continue the "State of the Science" and the Career Development Seminar Series, and initiate a Student Research Seminar Series. The anticipated miles stones include: a clear improvement in the quality of student initiated abstracts; show increased numbers of published manuscripts; achieve an average graduation rate of 90%, with an average of 80% of RISE graduates entering research-based postdoctoral fellowships; increased use of bioinformatics software in research; and students will publish manuscripts that contain bioinformatics-generated data.
