DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Clark Atlanta University proposes to continue the research training programs for undergraduate and graduate students begun in 1999 under the auspices of the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program of NIGMS/MORE. The major goal of both programs is to expose students in the disciplines of biological sciences and chemistry to state-of-the-art research in the biomedical sciences in an effort to influence them to pursue research careers in this area. The goals of the undergraduate component of the RISE program are to: 1) Retain students in the science major track; 2) to increase the number of students who apply to graduate programs in the biomedical sciences; and 3) to increase the number of students who are accepted into graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. To keep undergraduate students on course for a career in science, the following strategy will be used. Freshman students accepted into the program will be assigned to the program director (PD) for academic advisement. The Chair of chemistry will act as co-advisor for all chemistry undergraduate RISE students. All undergraduates will be required to form learning community study groups for their science classes. A peer-led leader will be assigned to specific study groups when the PD feels the students need the additional direction. Peer-leaders will direct study group activities, problem solving, and workshops as needed. In addition, students will attend tutorial sessions in English Composition. All undergraduates will meet regularly with the PD to discuss academic problems and to engage in academic enrichment activities. As the students progress through their academic programs the enrichment activities will change so that they are appropriate for the developmental phase of the student. Undergraduate students will begin intramural research experiences at the beginning of the sophomore year and will meet weekly with their research mentor to evaluate their progress. They will be required to do at least two rotations through different laboratories before they settle into a permanent laboratory for the remainder of their undergraduate training. They will also be required to participate in at least one extramural research experience. The goals of the graduate component of the RISE program are to: 1) Increase the number of students who complete the Ph.D. at CAU with a biomedical emphasis; 2) increase the number of publications authored by doctoral students at CAU; and 3) increase the number of degree recipients who enter into post-doctoral training, or a biomedical position in the private or government sectors. Graduate students will be accepted into the RISE program from those admitted to the graduate programs of either the Department of Biological Sciences or the Department of Chemistry. The RISE contribution to their training will be ensure that they are placed in a productive biomedical laboratory of an approved RISE mentor, and that they develop professionally for success as biomedical scientist in academia, government, or the private sector. Students will be participating in the weekly biomedical journal club, the weekly biomedical seminar series, and an annual national meeting in their area of research interest. In addition, students will participate in a series of workshops and activities designed to enhance their professional development. These workshops and activities will include the areas of grant and manuscript writing, research ethics, laboratory management and budgeting, thesis and dissertation preparation, the art of and benefits of mentoring younger students, and preparation for the postdoctoral experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：克拉克亚特兰大大学提议继续在 NIGMS/MORE 少数族裔生物医学研究支持 (MBRS) 科学增强研究计划 (RISE) 项目的支持下，继续开展 1999 年开始的本科生和研究生研究培训项目。这两个项目的主要目标是让生物科学和化学学科的学生接触生物医学科学的最先进研究，努力影响他们从事该领域的研究职业。 RISE 项目本科部分的目标是： 1) 留住科学专业的学生； 2）增加申请生物医学研究生课程的学生数量； 3) 增加生物医学研究生课程录取的学生数量。为了让本科生走上科学职业道路，将使用以下策略。被该项目录取的新生将被分配给项目总监（PD）寻求学术建议。化学系主任将担任所有化学本科 RISE 学生的联合顾问。所有本科生都必须为他们的科学课程组建学习社区学习小组。当 PD 认为学生需要额外指导时，将指派一位同伴领导的领导者到特定的学习小组。同行领导将根据需要指导研究小组的活动、问题解决和研讨会。此外，学生还将参加英语作文辅导课程。所有本科生将定期与 PD 会面，讨论学术问题并参与学术丰富活动。随着学生在学术课程中取得进展，强化活动也会发生变化，以适合学生的发展阶段。本科生将在大二年初开始校内研究经历，并将每周与他们的研究导师会面，评估他们的进展。他们将被要求在不同的实验室进行至少两次轮换，然后才能进入永久实验室进行剩余的本科培训。他们还需要参加至少一项校外研究经历。 RISE 项目研究生部分的目标是： 1) 增加完成博士学位的学生数量。在CAU，以生物医学为重点； 2）增加中国农业大学博士生发表的论文数量； 3）增加进入博士后培训或在私营或政府部门担任生物医学职位的学位获得者数量。研究生将从被生物科学系或化学系研究生课程录取的学生中被录取进入RISE项目。 RISE 对他们培训的贡献将确保他们被安置在经过 RISE 导师批准的高效生物医学实验室中，并确保他们在学术界、政府或私营部门成为成功的生物医学科学家而获得专业发展。学生将参加每周的生物医学期刊俱乐部、每周的生物医学研讨会系列以及其研究兴趣领域的年度全国会议。此外，学生还将参加一系列旨在促进其专业发展的研讨会和活动。这些研讨会和活动将包括资助和手稿写作、研究伦理、实验室管理和预算、论文和论文准备、指导年轻学生的艺术和好处以及博士后经历的准备等领域。
