DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 NCA&TSU. 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 of 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. Faculty members 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：MBRS 科学增强研究计划 (RISE) 计划将通过增强生物、化学和心理学系的研究能力和研究培训，将生物医学研究文化注入 NCA 和 TSU 学生和教师的生活。这是经过修订的申请，旨在通过针对 NCA&TSU 本科生和教师的广泛培训计划来增加少数族裔对生物医学研究的参与。拟议的计划将建立一个高质量的跨部门和多阶段研究培训计划，旨在提供建立强大的生物医学研究社区所需的培训和支持。这样的社区对于维持改善共享专业知识、研究生产力和学生进入生物医学科学职业的知识环境具有重要意义。我们建议重点关注本科生发展、教师发展和机构发展。该提案的目标是：（1）提高生物、化学和心理学专业的本科生保留率； (2) 提高学生的参与度、技能和对研究的投入； (3)提高学生攻读博士学位的成功率。节目； (4) 增加从事资助研究的生物学、化学和心理学教员数量； (5) 改善生物医学研究培训的基础设施。活动将包括新生入学前计划、四年的同伴指导、夏季和学术研讨会以及专业课程、研讨会、参加研讨会和夏季研究机会。教职员工将参加前沿研讨会，在指导研究环境中参加教职员工暑假，并参加鼓励新研究合作的专业会议、研讨会和短期课程。为了改善支持研究培训的物理基础设施，RISE计划将翻新生物系的核心分子生物学实验室，并为研究生的“学术研究中心学生培训”（STAR*中心）提供支持。该计划的成功将使用形成性和总结性评估工具进行监测和评估。
