DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the UMES MBRS RISE Program is to provide meaningful development opportunities for students and faculty as a means of enhancing the skills and competitiveness of underrepresented minority students and faculty in pursuing careers and conducting cutting edge biomedical research, respectively. To achieve this mission, the following specific goals and objectives are proposed. Goal I: Provide professional development opportunities to students in the biomedical sciences in the Department of Natural Sciences; Objective i: Increase the number of MBRS RISE students who matriculate into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences over the requested funding period from 6 to 10; Objective ii: Enhance the academic preparation of DNS students in the biomedical sciences through the introduction of 3 new courses. Goal II: Provide meaningful professional development opportunities to faculty in the Department of Natural Sciences at UMES; Objective i: Increase the number of active collaborations between UMES faculty and faculty at major research institutions from 6 to 10; Objective ii: Increase scholarly productivity of members of DNS faculty from 8-10 presentations delivered at scientific conferences; and refereed publications from 12-20 each year of the Program period; Objective iii: Increase the rate of DNS minority faculty participation in continuing education courses from 3 to 6 each year of the proposed project period. Goal III: Enhance the instructional infrastructure in biomedical sciences in the Department of Natural Sciences at UMES. Objective i: Redesign of gate keeping courses using CHEM 111, Principles of Chemistry I to increase pass rate (students earning at least a grade of C or better) from 55.1% to 70%; Objective ii: Enhance the instructional infrastructure in biomedical sciences in the Department of Natural Sciences at UMES. This program will emphasize faculty development through collaborations with research-intensive institutions. The retention of student interest in biomedical sciences, through the involvement in extramural research will be a major focus of the project. At the end of the project period, 10 students will have matriculated into doctoral degree programs nationwide. Public health relevance: In line with Healthy People 2010, which seeks to reduce health related threats to Americans by improving the quality of life and eliminating health disparities, the UMES MBRS RISE program has as its mission to enhance the skills and competitiveness of underrepresented minority students and faculty in biomedical research. These individuals not only have the appropriate level of skill, but also the cultural sensitivity to effectively address the underlying biological mechanisms that contribute to the disproportionate burden of disease in various populations in the US.

描述（由申请人提供）：UMES MBRS RISE计划的使命是为学生和教师提供有意义的发展机会，以此作为增强代表性不足的少数族裔学生的技能和竞争力，并分别从事职业和从事削减生物医学研究的削减生物研究。为了实现这一任务，提出了以下特定目标。目标I：为自然科学系的生物医学科学的学生提供专业发展机会；目标I：将在要求的资金期间从6到10的生物医学科学的博士课程上学的MBRS学生数量增加到10；目标II：通过引入3个新课程来增强生物医学科学中DNS学生的学术准备。目标II：为UMES自然科学系提供有意义的职业发展机会；目标I：将主要研究机构的UMES教职员工与教职员工之间的积极合作数量从6增加到10；目标II：提高DNS教职员工的学术生产力，从科学会议上的8-10个演讲中提高了学术生产力；并从计划期限的每年12-20开始进行审计；目标III：提高DNS少数族裔教师参与继续教育课程的比率从拟议项目期间的每年3到6个。目标III：增强UMES自然科学系生物医学科学的教学基础设施。目标I：使用Chem 111的GATE保留课程的重新设计，化学原则I以将通过率提高至少C或更高的学生（学生至少更高）从55.1％提高到70％；目标II：增强UMES自然科学系生物医学科学的教学基础设施。该计划将通过与研究密集型机构的合作来强调教师的发展。通过参与校外研究，学生对生物医学科学的兴趣将是该项目的重点。在项目期结束时，将有10名学生纳入全国博士学位课程。 公共卫生相关性：与2010年健康人士一致，该公司试图通过改善生活质量和消除健康差异来减少与健康有关的威胁，UMES MBRS RISE计划的使命是增强代表性不足的少数群体学生和生物医学研究中的技能和竞争力。这些人不仅具有适当的技能水平，而且具有有效解决基本生物学机制的文化敏感性，这些生物学机制导致美国各个人群的疾病负担不成比例。
