U-RISE at Clark Atlanta University

项目摘要 克拉克亚特兰大大学（CAU）的U-RISE计划旨在将学术前途 本科生跨越STEM学科的广度，进入生物医学科学的博士课程。 我们认识到，千禧一代的科学家将有望跟上日益增长的需求，使用定量 和计算方法，以便从大型数据集中检测模式来回答生物学问题。 因此，通过一个精心设计的培训计划，与一群坚定的学术领袖和 教师导师，我们建议从事一个真正的跨学科课程， 建立在CAU提供的基础上（通过U-RISE准备计划）。我们的总体目标是- CAU的RISE计划将对学生保留率和完成率产生重大且可衡量的影响 在我们的STEM专业，使这些受过专门训练的学者，然后进展到逻辑博士研究。 鉴于CAU拥有三个主要特点：1）最大的联合黑人学院基金（UNCF）机构; 2） 卡内基R2研究分类-具有高研究活动的博士大学;以及3）第四大 作为非洲裔美国人博士的产生者，我们有能力为我们国家的议程做出实质性贡献 通过培养有竞争力的科学家， 传统上在生物医学领域代表性不足。我们的计划目标涵盖培养人才库 本科生谁是能够在高素质，研究密集型机构蓬勃发展， 学生和学院成员，同时进行培训计划，其中包括课程的增强， 专门的编程，和研究沉浸，及早开始，并与直接支持和精心策划， 来自精心匹配的教师导师的咨询。通过投资于一个包容性的培训环境， 一群有前途的年轻科学家，我们打算创建一个旨在提供一个框架的计划， 以技术-运营-专业战略构建，以负责任的行为价值观为基础， 追求研究，并通过量身定制和有意义的课程和专业发展来丰富 模块成为在追求研究生学习的竞争力。计划进行持续的评价， 传播，我们打算与其他人分享我们的知识和成果， 保留和程序的进步，特别是在其他历史上黑人学院和大学，许多 美国下一代伟大的生物医学研究人员的潜力

PROJECT SUMMARY The U-RISE Program at Clark Atlanta University (CAU) is designed to transition academically promising undergraduates spread across the breadth of STEM disciplines into doctoral programs in biomedical sciences. We recognize that millennial scientists will be expected to keep pace with increasing demands to use quantitative and computational approaches in order to detect patterns from large datasets to answer biological questions. Therefore, through a thoughtfully designed training program with a committed group of academic leaders and faculty mentors, we propose to engage a cohort of promising scholars in a truly interdisciplinary curriculum that builds on a foundation provided by CAU (through the U-RISE Prep Program). Our overall objective for the U- RISE Program at CAU is to have a significant and measurable impact on student retention and completion rates within our STEM majors so that these specially trained scholars then progress logically into doctoral studies. Given that CAU holds three major distinctions: 1) the largest United Negro College Fund (UNCF) institution; 2) a Carnegie R2 research classification—a doctoral university with high research activity; and 3) the fourth largest generator of African American PhDs, we are well-positioned to substantively contribute to our nation’s agenda of growing its research and innovation capacity through the preparation of competitive scientists who continue to be traditionally underrepresented in the biomedical field. Our planned objectives span fostering a talented pool of undergraduate students who are capable of thriving in high-caliber, research-intensive institutions both as students and members of the academy while undertaking a training plan that includes curricular enhancements, specialized programming, and research immersion that begins early and orchestrated with direct support and consultation from carefully matched faculty mentors. By investing in an inclusive, training environment for a cohort of promising young scientists, we intend to create a program that is designed to offer a framework, that is constructed with a technical-operational-professional strategy, grounded in the values of responsible conduct for the pursuit of research, and enriched with a tailored and meaningful curriculum and professional development modules to become competitive in the pursuit of graduate studies. With plans for ongoing evaluations and dissemination, we intend to share our knowledge and outcomes with others who have been challenged with retention and program advancement, particularly at other historically black colleges and universities where many of America’s next generation of great biomedical researchers can be discovered.
