Project Summary/Abstract Texas State University (TxState) will implement an Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement program (U-RISE Tx) to increase the diversity and number of TxState students entering PhD programs in biomedical research. We will recruit qualified Hispanic and other underrepresented (UR) students for extensive undergraduate research experiences in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology and provide these students with the skills, mentoring, training, and support necessary to excel in graduate school and beyond. U- RISE Tx will synergize with other successful NSF- and NIH-funded programs at TxState to broadly improve the training environment through evidence-based training and mentoring methods that will be implemented across multiple departments. This program will accomplish its goals through the following Specific Aims: Recruitment: We will employ a robust recruitment strategy that includes Browse Sessions during University open-house recruitment events for prospective high school seniors (Bobcat Days) and during New Student Orientation events; STEM-focused sections of the mandatory first-year seminar course US1100 and additional campus-wide advertising targeting STEM freshmen. Pre-RISE: Bi-weekly seminars for freshmen will provide information regarding strategies for academic success, career decision making, and careers in the biomedical sciences. These sessions will include preparation for summer REU programs at one of our partner Tier-1 research institutions and will foster a community to build student self-confidence, social and cultural capital, and scientific identity. Mentored research: First-year student applicants will be selected to join the U-RISE Tx program at the end of the Spring semester. U-RISE Tx trainees will participate in required coursework, structured activities, and independent research projects with program faculty mentors. Throughout the program, trainees will participate in training for responsible conduct of research, research rigor and reproducibility, ethics, and laboratory safety. Trainees will participate in at least one summer REU program at one of our two partner T32-hosting research universities. An innovative aspect of the U-RISE Tx program is its integration of laboratory automation training, with associated improvements in efficiency and reproducibility, and training in proper protocols for record-keeping in both traditional and electronic lab notebooks. Professional development: Faculty research mentors will participate in both local and national workshops and seminars for mentorship. Trainees will participate in extensive career development activities focused on transitioning to PhD programs using Individual Development Plans and Research Portfolios. Teamwork, social interactions, and peer mentoring will develop a strong sense of belonging and science identity of trainees, who will also have multiple opportunities to present their research within the program and at local and national meetings. Trainees and their mentors will undergo continual formative evaluation to ensure the quality of the program aided by an Oversight Committee and an External Advisory Committee.

项目摘要/摘要 德克萨斯州立大学（TXSTATE）将针对学生实施一项本科研究培训计划 增强计划（U-Rise TX）增加了进入博士学位的TXSTATE学生的多样性和数量 生物医学研究计划。我们将招募合格的西班牙裔和其他代表性不足的学生 为化学，生物化学和生物学方面的广泛本科研究经验，并提供这些研究 具有技能，指导，培训和支持的学生，才能在研究生院及以后表现出色。 u- RISE TX将与TXSTATE的其他成功的NSF和NIH资助的计划协同作用，以广泛改善 通过基于证据的培训和指导方法进行培训环境，这些方法将在 多个部门。该计划将通过以下特定目标来实现其目标： 招聘：我们将采用强大的招聘策略，其中包括大学期间浏览会议 预期高中生的开放式招聘活动（山猫时代）和新学生期间 方向事件；强制性第一年研讨会课程US1100的以STEM为重点的部分和其他 针对STEM新生的校园范围内广告。前改装：每两周一次的新生研讨会将提供 有关学术成功，职业决策和生物医学职业的策略的信息 科学。这些会议将包括在我们的合作伙伴Tier-1之一的夏季REU计划准备 研究机构，并将培养一个社区来建立学生的自信心，社会和文化资本， 和科学身份。指导研究：将选择一年级的学生申请人加入U-Rise TX 春季学期结束时的课程。 U-Rise TX受训人员将参加必需的课程工作， 结构化活动以及与计划教师的独立研究项目。整个 计划，学员将参加负责任的研究，严格研究和 可重复性，道德和实验室安全。学员将在至少参加一个夏季REU计划 我们的两个合作伙伴T32托管研究型大学之一。 U-Rise TX计划的创新方面是其 实验室自动化培训的整合，效率和可重复性的相关提高， 以及在传统和电子实验室笔记本上进行记录的适当协议培训。 专业发展：教师研究导师将参加本地和国家研讨会 和指导研讨会。学员将参加专注于的广泛的职业发展活动 使用个人发展计划和研究组合过渡到博士计划。团队合作，社交 互动和同伴指导将发展出强烈的归属感和科学认同感，受训者 还将有多个机会在计划中以及本地和国家 会议。学员及其导师将进行持续的形成性评估，以确保 计划在监督委员会和外部咨询委员会的协助下。
