项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term goal of the New Mexico State University RISE to Excellence Program is to diversify the community of health scientists by furthering the completion of Ph.D. degrees by students who are members of groups underrepresented in biomedical and biobehavioral research. NMSU is uniquely positioned to achieve this goal because of the institution's status as a doctoral, research-intensive, land grant, minority (Hispanic) serving university with a diverse student population and a cadre of accomplished mentors. The NMSU RISE program aspires to provide research opportunities for students, especially those who have faced barriers or obstacles in pursuit of a research career, and to aid students in discovering and fulfilling their scientific potential. Three student development activities are proposed. Activity 1, RISE to the Doctorate, will provide individually mentored laboratory research experiences and professional skills development for RISE Undergraduate Scholars. A1 will enable the entry of 50% of the undergraduate participants to a Ph.D. program, and another 25% to postbaccalaureate or MS programs. Activity 2, RISE to the Postdoctorate, will provide individually mentored laboratory research experiences and professional skills development for RISE Graduate Scholars who are matriculated into Ph.D. programs. A2 will facilitate the completion of a Ph.D. by 90% of the predoctoral Scholars and their subsequent entry to postdoctoral research positions. Activity 3, RISE Team Discovery Workshops, will provide three inquiry-based team research experiences during the summer for undergraduate and graduate students: Medicinal Plants of the Southwest, will recruit non-majors to biomedical research; Genomics Discovery, will retain science students in research who are near graduation and have not had a mentored laboratory experience; Health Disparities, will motivate and inspire RISE students by emphasizing the relevance of research for the well-being of their communities. Students in the NMSU RISE Program are prepared for the next step of their career through laboratory experiences, seminars, professional skills workshops, and courses in research dynamics and experimental design. Students also receive formal education in responsible conduct in research that is reinforced by a seminar series. Special emphasis is placed on the development of strong written and oral communication skills, on the preparation of an electronic professional portfolio that is reviewed yearly by a faculty committee, and on submission of fellowship and internship applications by all students, as appropriate for their career stage. Assessment and evaluation of program activities are integrated into the design and continual refinement of programmatic elements. A distinguishing feature of the NMSU RISE program is the commitment of RISE mentors to work collaboratively to identify mentoring practices that promote recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students to the Ph.D.. A yearly Leadership Retreat will provide a forum for students and mentors to discuss issues of identity, community, and the role of scientists, especially those from underrepresented groups, as biomedical researchers and leaders in a challenging global environment. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Fostering excellence in a diverse research workforce can lead to more innovative solutions to challenging biomedical problems. Increasing the numbers of highly trained Ph.D. recipients from traditionally underrepresented groups ensures that the scientific community has the broadest capacity and most robust potential to find treatments for diseases and disorders that impair the quality of human life, such as those that are associated with health disparities between populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥州立大学 RISE to Excellence 计划的长期目标是通过进一步完成博士学位来实现健康科学家群体的多元化。由在生物医学和生物行为研究中代表性不足的群体成员授予的学位。新墨西哥州立大学在实现这一目标方面具有独特的优势，因为该机构是一所博士、研究密集型、赠地、少数族裔（西班牙裔）服务的大学，拥有多元化的学生群体和一批卓有成就的导师。 NMSU RISE 项目致力于为学生，特别是那些在追求研究生涯中面临障碍的学生提供研究机会，并帮助学生发现和实现他们的科学潜力。提出了三项学生发展活动。活动 1“RISE 攻读博士学位”将为 RISE 本科学者提供单独指导的实验室研究经验和专业技能发展。 A1 将使 50% 的本科参与者能够进入博士学位。计划，另外 25% 为学士后或硕士学位课程。活动 2“RISE 博士后”将为攻读博士学位的 RISE 研究生学者提供单独指导的实验室研究经验和专业技能发展。程序。 A2 将有助于完成博士学位。 90% 的博士前学者及其随后进入博士后研究职位。活动3，RISE团队发现研讨会，将在暑假期间为本科生和研究生提供三种基于探究的团队研究体验：西南药用植物，将招募非专业人士进行生物医学研究； Genomics Discovery，将留住即将毕业且没有实验室指导经验的理科学生；健康差异将通过强调研究与其社区福祉的相关性来激励和启发 RISE 学生。 NMSU RISE 项目的学生通过实验室体验、研讨会、专业技能研讨会以及研究动态和实验设计课程，为职业生涯的下一步做好准备。学生还接受正规的研究负责任行为教育，并通过系列研讨会得到加强。特别强调培养强大的书面和口头沟通技能，准备每年由教师委员会审查的电子专业档案，以及所有学生根据其职业阶段提交奖学金和实习申请。计划活动的评估和评估被纳入计划要素的设计和持续完善中。 NMSU RISE 项目的一个显着特点是 RISE 导师致力于合作确定指导实践，以促进招收和留住代表性不足的少数族裔学生攻读博士学位。每年一次的领导力务虚会将为学生和导师提供一个论坛讨论身份、社区和科学家的角色问题，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的科学家，作为生物医学研究人员和领导者，在充满挑战的全球环境中发挥作用。公共卫生相关性：培养多元化研究人员的卓越能力可以为具有挑战性的生物医学问题带来更具创新性的解决方案。增加训练有素的博士人数来自传统上代表性不足群体的接受者确保科学界拥有最广泛的能力和最强大的潜力来寻找治疗损害人类生活质量的疾病和失调的方法，例如与人口之间健康差异有关的疾病和失调。
