DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the University of Guam RISE program are to increase the number and capacity of minority undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Guam entering graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. in biomedical sciences, and to strengthen the research and research-education capacity of the teaching faculty. Our goals address the needs for student, institutional, and faculty development; they are organized into three specific projects. Project #1, Research Methods and Opportunities will enhance the institutional capacity at UOG to encourage minority students and teaching faculty participation in cutting-edge biomedical research. We predict that with modem research experiences, our students will be more motivated to enter biomedical graduate programs, and our teaching faculty will be refreshed and empowered to initiate research that can lead to MBRS pilot proposals or to grant proposals to other agencies. Our test of this hypothesis depends critically on upgrading and modernizing the equipment in the teaching labs. Specific learning objectives have been formulated for testing. The research project is complemented by the project on technology and information skills, and based on a solid foundation of academic reading, writing, and presentation skills, which will be addressed by the science communication project. Project #2, Technology and Information Skills will enhance the academic and research capabilities of our undergraduate science students by providing them with experience in and facilities for using current information and computational skills. In addition, by establishing a small, specialized computer-equipped classroom whose server is accessible in chemistry, biology and physics laboratories, faculty offices, and lecture halls, it will give teaching faculty the tools and skills to incorporate appropriate technologies into their classrooms. Project #3, SciComm: Communication in Science is designed to enhance UOG minority student capacity for excellence in academic preparation for graduate studies in biomedical and behavioral sciences. This project consists of a series of modules on reading, writing, and presenting biomedical science, which we believe will address the Division of Natural Sciences' goal of "improving scientific literacy of majors." These objectives have been developed in consultation with the students, who are the central stakeholders in this program. The new methodologies, technologies, and academic skills modules will each be piloted within the framework of educational experiments.

描述（由申请人提供）：关岛大学 RISE 计划的目标是增加少数族裔本科生和学生的数量和能力 关岛大学的研究生进入研究生课程 获得博士学位。加强生物医学领域的研究和 教师队伍的研究教育能力。我们的目标解决 学生、机构和教师发展的需求；他们是有组织的 分为三个具体项目。项目#1，研究方法和机会 将增强 UOG 的机构能力，鼓励少数族裔学生 和教学人员参与尖端生物医学研究。我们 预测凭借现代研究经验，我们的学生将更加 有动力进入生物医学研究生课程，我们的教学人员将 焕然一新并有权启动可导致 MBRS 试点的研究 提案或向其他机构授予提案。我们对这个假设的检验 关键取决于教学设备的升级和现代化 实验室。为测试制定了具体的学习目标。这 研究项目由技术和信息项目补充 技能，并建立在学术阅读、写作和学习的坚实基础之上 演讲技巧，这将由科学传播来解决 项目。项目#2，技术和信息技能将增强 我们理科本科生的学术和研究能力 为他们提供使用当前信息的经验和设施 和计算能力。此外，通过建立一个小型的、专业的 配备计算机的教室，其服务器可在化学、生物课程中访问 以及物理实验室、教师办公室和报告厅，它将提供 向教师传授整合适当技术的工具和技能 走进他们的教室。项目 #3，SciComm：科学传播 旨在提高 UOG 少数族裔学生取得卓越学术成就的能力 为生物医学和行为科学的研究生学习做准备。这 项目由一系列阅读、写作和演示模块组成 生物医学科学，我们相信这将解决自然科学的问题 Science的目标是“提高专业的科学素养”。这些目标 是在与学生协商后制定的，学生是中心 该计划的利益相关者。新的方法论、技术和学术 每个技能模块都将在教育框架内进行试点 实验。
