DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the MORE Division for MBRS programs and the Brooklyn College RISE program is to increase the numbers of underrepresented faculty and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research and to broaden the opportunities for these individuals to participate in biomedical and behavioral research through the provision of integrated developmental activities to increase knowledge, skills and information as students move from undergraduate status into doctoral programs. Diversification of the science workforce is an important national public health goal. Our RISE program proposes to improve on our earlier positive impacts on undergraduate URM success by extending efforts to assist RISE students develop strong academic knowledge and skills and motivation to enter science careers through a series of linked developmental activities and milestones. In response to a needs analysis and program evaluation, a plan for extending undergraduate activities and introducing doctoral students to the program is proposed. The key activities for the undergraduate component of the program are a comprehensive 6-week pre-freshman summer program concentrating on orientation to the demands of college-level work in the sciences; introduction to peer-assisted methods to improve academic outcomes in a for-credit precalculus class; and a variety of workshops to help students adjust to college, develop skills in communication, information and computer literacy, begin to be exposed to information about research careers, and above all, improve academic outcomes compared with control subjects. Many of these activities continue in a tightly integrated Learning Community and academic support throughout the 4 years of college. Students will begin to work in faculty labs to develop information about research and research careers, and will be encouraged to get external summer research experience. They also will be exposed in a series of workshops on information on responsible conduct of research. Work on preparing for graduate school and standardized tests in support of successful applications to graduate school are also part of the program. The graduate component includes admission of a new cohort of RISE doctoral students, academic support, and excellent research training to allow them to progress successfully and without delay to completion of the doctoral degree and movement into postdoctoral and research scientist positions after graduation.

描述（由申请人提供）：MBRS 项目 MORE 部门和布鲁克林学院 RISE 项目的总体目标是增加从事生物医学和行为研究的代表性不足的教师和学生的数量，并扩大这些人参与研究的机会。生物医学和行为研究，通过提供综合发展活动来增加学生从本科阶段进入博士课程时的知识、技能和信息。科学队伍的多元化是一个重要的国家公共卫生目标。我们的 RISE 计划旨在通过一系列相互关联的发展活动和里程碑，进一步努力帮助 RISE 学生发展强大的学术知识和技能以及进入科学职业的动力，从而改善我们早期对本科 URM 成功的积极影响。根据需求分析和项目评估，提出了扩大本科生活动和引入博士生参与该项目的计划。 该项目本科部分的主要活动是为期 6 周的综合性大一前暑期项目，重点关注大学水平科学工作的需求；介绍同伴协助方法，以提高学分微积分预科课程的学业成绩；以及各种研讨会，帮助学生适应大学，培养沟通、信息和计算机素养的技能，开始接触有关研究职业的信息，最重要的是，与对照科目相比，提高学术成果。其中许多活动在紧密结合的学习社区和学术支持中持续进行，贯穿大学四年。学生将开始在教师实验室工作，以开发有关研究和研究职业的信息，并将鼓励学生获得外部暑期研究经验。他们还将参加一系列关于负责任的研究行为信息的研讨会。该计划的一部分还包括为研究生院做准备和支持成功申请研究生院的标准化考试。研究生部分包括录取新一批 RISE 博士生、学术支持和出色的研究培训，使他们能够成功取得进展，毫不拖延地完成博士学位，并在毕业后进入博士后和研究科学家职位。
