U-RISE Delaware State Unversity: Student Training in Academic Research (STAR) Summary: We propose to establish a U-RISE training site at Delaware State University (DSU) as a catalyst to attract, and to closely train, up to 18 undergraduate students per year in any of the biomedical research disciplines, totaling up to 54 trainees over the five-year period of the grant. Our STAR Scholars will be mentored and motivated to ultimately pursue their PhD degree and careers related to biomedical research. DSU, an Historically Black University (HBCU), enrolls about 4800 undergraduate students, with over 70% being members of racial and ethnic minority groups that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Based on best practices from the literature, we will implement an educational and research training program that will support successful graduation of our scholars and ensure that they are accepted to biomedically-related graduate programs, are motivated to attend, and are prepared for success. Our STAR Scholars will participate in two summer research internships, first on the DSU campus, and the second at a research intensive institution. Through the IDeA Networks of Biomdical Research and other connnections, we have identified a large number of partner institutions who will host our STAR Scholars in their summer undergraduate research programs, ensuring that they are matched with trained, experienced mentors. To support our Scholars, we have designed a series of activities, courses, and workshops that will provide knowledge and skills development to support academic success at DSU and in graduate school. Our Scholars will be supported by strong, culturally-competent mentors, who have completed an on-line mentoring course and participate in interventions shown to minimize implicit bias. To increase STEM engagement and self-efficacy and strengthen critical thinking skills among the broader STEM student community at DSU, our program supports professional development to faculty to integrate course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) into introductory STEM courses. We expect these early research experiences to increase retention and motivate more students toward careers in research. We aim that 90% of our DSU-STAR trainees graduate with a bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline, at least 60% of our trainees pursue a biomedical Ph.D or Ph.D/M.D. degree at a research- intensive institution, and at least 80% of those matriculants obtain their degrees. Furthermore, the DSU STAR program will also support initiatives to increase the four and five year graduation rate from 25% to 35% and 38% to 50%. Finally, we will establish assessment mechanisms to evaluate the program, to ensure its continuous success.

U-RISE 特拉华州立大学：学术研究学生培训 (STAR) 概括： 我们建议在特拉华州立大学 (DSU) 建立一个 U-RISE 培训基地，作为促进 每年吸引并密切培训多达 18 名从事任何生物医学研究的本科生 我们的 STAR 学者将在五年的资助期内总共培训多达 54 名学员。 受到指导和激励，最终获得博士学位并从事与生物医学研究相关的职业。 DSU 是一所传统黑人大学 (HBCU)，招收约 4800 名本科生，其中超过 70% 传统上在 STEM 中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体成员。 根据文献中的最佳实践，我们将实施一项教育和研究培训计划， 将支持我们的学者成功毕业并确保他们被生物医学相关专业录取 研究生课程，有动力参加，并为成功做好准备。 参加两次暑期研究实习，第一次在 DSU 校园，第二次在研究实习 通过 IDeA 生物医学研究网络和其他联系，我们拥有 确定了大量将在夏季接待我们的 STAR 学者的合作机构 本科生研究项目，确保它们与训练有素、经验丰富的导师相匹配。 为了支持我们的学者，我们设计了一系列的活动、课程和研讨会，以提供 知识和技能发展，以支持 DSU 和研究生院的学术成功。 学者将得到强大的、具有文化能力的导师的支持，他们已经完成了在线课程 指导课程并参与干预措施，以最大限度地减少隐性偏见。 提高 STEM 参与度和自我效能，并加强学生的批判性思维能力 在 DSU 更广泛的 STEM 学生社区中，我们的计划支持教师的专业发展 我们将基于课程的本科生研究经验 (CURE) 纳入 STEM 入门课程。 期望这些早期的研究经验能够提高保留率并激励更多的学生走向职业生涯 我们的目标是 90% 的 DSU-STAR 学员毕业时获得 STEM 学士学位。 学科，至少 60% 的学员在研究领域攻读生物医学博士学位或博士/医学博士学位。 强化机构，至少 80% 的入学者获得了 DSU 学位。 STAR 计划还将支持将四年制和五年制毕业率从 25% 提高到 最后，我们将建立评估机制来评估方案，以确保35％和38％。 它的不断成功。
