The MBRS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program will infuse a biomedical research culture into the life of NCA&TSU students and faculty by enhancing research capacity and research training in the departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. This is a revised application that seeks to increase minority participation in biomedical research through a broadly based training program for undergraduate students and faculty at North Carolina A&T State University. The proposed program will establish a quality interdepartmental and multi-phase research training program that is designed to provide both training and support necessary to build a strong biomedical research community. Such a community is significant to sustaining an improved intellectual environment of shared expertise, research productivity and student advancement into biomedical science careers. We propose to focus on undergraduate student development, faculty development and Institutional development. Goals of this proposal are to: 1) improve undergraduate retention in Biology, Chemistry and Psychology majors 2) increase student participation, skills, and commitment to do research, 3) improve student success rates in acceptance to Ph.D. programs, 4) increase the number of Biology, Chemistry and psychology faculty members who conduct funded research and 5) improve infrastructure for biomedical research training. Activities will include a pre- matriculation program for entering freshmen, four years of peer mentoring, summer and academic workshops and specialty courses, seminars, travel to symposia and summer research opportunities. Faculties will participate in cutting-edge workshops, engage in faculty summer sabbaticals in mentored research environments, and attend professional meetings, workshops and short courses that encourage new research collaborations. To improve physical infrastructure that supports research training, the RISE program will renovate a core molecular biology laboratory in the Department of Biology, and provide support for a "Student Training in Academic Research Center" (STAR*Center) for research students. Success of this program will be monitored and evaluated using formative and summative evaluation tools.

MBRS科学增强研究计划（RISE）计划将注入生物医学研究 通过增强研究能力和研究培训，培养NCA＆TSU学生和教师的生活 在生物学，化学和心理学系中。这是一个修订的应用程序，试图 通过广泛的培训计划来增加少数群体参与生物医学研究的参与 北卡罗来纳州A＆T州立大学的本科生和教职员工。拟议的计划将 建立旨在提供的质量跨部门和多阶段研究培训计划 建立强大的生物医学研究社区所必需的培训和支持。这样的社区是 对于维持共同的专业知识，研究生产力和 学生发展生物医学科学职业。我们建议专注于本科生 发展，教师发展和制度发展。该提议的目标是：1）改进 生物学，化学和心理学专业的本科保留率2）增加学生的参与， 技能和进行研究的承诺，3）提高学生获得博士学位的成功率。程序， 4）增加进行资助的生物学，化学和心理学教师的数量 研究和5）改善生物医学研究培训的基础设施。活动将包括一个前 进入新生的入学计划，四年的同伴指导，夏季和学术 讲习班和专业课程，研讨会，前往研讨会和夏季研究机会。 教职员工将参加尖端研讨会，参加指导 研究环境，参加鼓励新的专业会议，研讨会和简短课程 研究合作。为了改善支持研究培训的身体基础设施，上升 计划将在生物学系翻新核心分子生物学实验室，并提供支持 对于研究学生的“学术研究中心的学生培训”（Star*中心）。成功 将使用形成性和总结性评估工具对此程序进行监控和评估。
