RISE Program-Hunter College

项目摘要/摘要 MBR方案的目标是增加 代表不足的少数族裔教职员工、研究人员和从事生物医学和 行为研究，并扩大代表不足的少数群体的机会 参与生物医学和行为研究的教职员工和学生。 目标是亨特学院长期的、制度性的承诺所不可或缺的 多样性，因此，学院提议继续、扩大和改进其MBR 支持RISE计划。亨特已经存在的MBRS计划 自1981年以来，大学培养了大约63名博士，他们的学生 在理科学科中的代表性不足，另外还有38名学生在 博士学位课程。在这次更新中，我们建议继续我们的本科生研究 培训计划(10名支持学生)和我们的研究生培训计划 (16名受资助学生)。在本科生和研究生阶段，受训人员 在科学界的代表性不足(主要是非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔) 在国家资助的实验室有丰富的研究经验， 竞争激烈的，最先进的，生物医学科学研究。参与部门 包括生物、化学、物理和心理学。在本科生阶段， 该计划还包括由一名教员进行密集指导和其他充实 旨在提高科学成绩、启发和激励学生的活动 攻读理科高级学位(博士学位)和从事研究工作。在毕业典礼上 水平，它提供了一个环境，促进了博士学位的取得和未来 科学事业。此外，本科生至少参加一次校外活动。 哈佛大学内科和外科医学院的暑期研究项目 哥伦比亚大学或美国其他地方。 一些具体目标在具体目标部分和 评估计划，以实现计划目标。最重要的目标包括 博士生入学比例从40%提高到50% 计划参与者和增加每届毕业生每年获得的博士数量 学生人数减少25%(从两年增加到2.5%)。在研究生阶段，90%的学生获得了 博士将进入博士后项目。物理研究生课程的学生将 接受辅导和帮助，以通过资格考试，以增加 本系学生人数增加30%(从3人增加到4人)。二 硕士研究生将每年获得资助，其中75%将进入博士生课程。 拟议中的项目将延续亨特学院大额毕业的传统 少数民族学生成为研究生、博士后研究员和 年，在许多高校从事科学研究的教职员工 纽约市和美国其他地方。项目叙事 本科生和研究生(攻读博士学位) 计划)将接受生物医学领域的研究培训。因此，该程序将 教育和培训下一代从事研究的科学家以造福 公共卫生。

Project Summary/Abstract The goals of the MBRS program are ¿to increase the numbers of underrepresented minority faculty, investigators and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students for participation in biomedical and behavioral research.¿ These goals are integral to the long-term, institutional commitment of Hunter College to diversity, and thus, the College proposes to continue, expand and improve its MBRS supported RISE program. The MBRS Program, which has been in existence at Hunter College since 1981 has produced approximately 63 PhDs from students who are underrepresented in science disciplines, and an additional 38 students are enrolled in PhD Programs. In this renewal, we propose to continue our Undergraduate Research Training Program (10 supported students) and our Graduate Student Training program (16 supported students). At both the undergraduate and graduate level, trainees who are underrepresented in science (African-American and Hispanic, primarily) receive intensive research experiences in laboratories engaged in nationally funded, competitive, state of the art, biomedical science research. Participating Departments include Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology. At the undergraduate level, the program also involves intensive mentoring by a faculty member and other enrichment activities intended to enhance science performance and to inspire and motivate students to seek advanced degrees in science (PhDs) and research careers. At the graduate level, it provides an environment which promotes the achievement of a PhD and future science careers. In addition, Undergraduate students attend at least one extramural summer research program either at The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University or at other sites in the USA. A number of specific objectives are detailed in the specific aims section and the evaluation plan in order to achieve program goals. The most important aims include increasing entrance into PhD programs by RISE undergraduates from 40 to 50% of program participants and increasing the number of PhDs received/year by graduate students by 25% (from 2/yr to 2.5/yr). At the graduate level, 90% of students awarded a PhD will enter post-doctoral programs. Students in the Physics Graduate Program will receive tutoring and assistance to pass the qualifying exams in order to increase the number of participating students from this department by 30% (from 3 to 4). Two masters students will be supported yearly and 75% of them will enter PhD programs. The proposed program will continue Hunter College's tradition of graduating large numbers of minority students who become graduate students, post doctoral fellows and faculty members engaged in science research at numerous colleges and universities in NYC and elsewhere in the USA. Project Narrative Undergraduate college students and graduate students (enrolled in Ph.D. programs) will receive research training in biomedical areas. Thus, this program will educate and train the next generation of scientists who engage in research to benefit public health.
