DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS-RISE Program at the University of the Virgin Islands proposes to contribute to the health of the Nation by preparing a unique population of undergraduate students for admission to highly selective doctoral programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. This will be accomplished by a program that combines training in research with developing students' motivation and commitment to scientific careers. The new vision for MBRS-RISE at UVI builds on a solid foundation of success: in the last 10 years 26 underrepresented minority UVI alumni have earned Ph.D. degrees. Since the RISE Program began, UVI has experienced dramatic changes; for example, since 2001 the number of Science and Mathematics graduates has doubled. The long term goals of the RISE Program at UVI are both to further transform the campus culture and to develop students' identities as biomedical researchers through connections to Caribbean heritage and the research needs of the community. This application proposes a program that engages students with innovative curriculum and co-curricular activities including research training and close partnerships with research- intensive institutions. A far-reaching, innovative program is needed at UVI to provide opportunities for the diverse student population to develop their potential to become leading biomedical researchers. UVI has an educational environment that will contribute to success, because there is a highly supportive administration including a new president with a new vision emphasizing student research, new partnerships with highly competitive research institutions, a large and growing pool of talented students, a number of new research programs that can work in synergy with RISE, and a small, supportive, collegial community. The specific aims are: (1) 100% of the RISE students graduate; 90% apply to pipeline programs in their senior year (PhD, masters, or post-baccalaureate programs); 65% enroll in doctoral programs within 4 years of UVI graduation; with 45% enrolling in PhD programs directly; (2) generate positive institutional change that impacts all students in RISE-relevant departments such that the percentage of students enrolling in doctoral programs increases in all departments. These objectives will be accomplished by an integrated program including: (1) development of a new RISE curriculum and faculty training in pedagogy, (2) activities designed to increase students' understanding of the biomedical research needs of the US Virgin Islands and minority communities nationally, (3) research training both on campus and at partner institutions and presentation of results at conferences, (4) visiting scientists to provide role models and networking, (5) special workshops designed to provide clear continuity to the next educational steps, and (6) a network of support including UVI faculty, RISE staff, and summer research mentors. The external evaluators will use a mixed methods design to provide rigorous formative and summative evaluation designed to compare students' development with a control group. The overarching vision is to catalyze an increasing commitment to research across the University.

描述（由申请人提供）：维尔京群岛大学的MBRS-Rise计划提议通过为在生物医学和行为科学的高度选择性博士课程中准备独特的本科生来为国家的健康做出贡献。这将通过将研究中的培训与发展学生的动力和对科学职业的承诺相结合的计划来完成。 UVI的MBRS-Rise的新愿景以扎实的成功基础为基础：在过去的10年中，有26年代表性不足的少数民族UVI校友获得了博士学位。学位。自从崛起计划开始以来，UVI经历了巨大的变化。例如，自2001年以来，科学和数学毕业生的数量增加了一倍。 UVI的崛起计划的长期目标都是进一步改变校园文化，并通过与加勒比海遗产的联系和社区的研究需求来发展学生作为生物医学研究人员的身份。该应用程序提出了一项计划，该计划使学生参加创新的课程和课外活动，包括研究培训和与研究密集型机构的密切合作伙伴关系。 UVI需要一个深远的创新计划，以为多样化的学生群体提供机会发展成为领先的生物医学研究人员的潜力。 UVI具有一个教育环境，将有助于成功，因为有一个高度支持的政府，包括一个新的总统，具有新的愿景，强调学生研究，与竞争激烈的研究机构的新伙伴关系，一大批才华横溢的才华横溢的学生，许多可以与Rise协同作用的新研究计划，以及一个小型的支持，支持的，支持的，社区的社区。具体目的是：（1）100％的崛起学生毕业； 90％适用于高年级的管道计划（博士学位，硕士学位或毕业后计划）；在UVI毕业后的4年内，有65％的人参加博士课程；直接参加了45％的博士课程； （2）产生积极的机构变革，从而影响与崛起相关的部门中的所有学生，以使参加博士课程的学生的百分比在所有部门中都在增加。这些目标将通过一项综合计划来实现：（1）开发新的上升课程和教育学领域的教师培训，（2）旨在提高学生对全国性维尔京群岛和少数群体的生物医学研究需求的理解的活动（3）在校园内以及在合作伙伴机构中提供的研究培训（4）访问者（4）访问的研究（4）访问者（4）访问者（4）访问的培训（4）明确的连续性对下一个教育步骤，以及（6）支持网络，包括UVI教职员工，崛起员工和夏季研究导师。外部评估者将使用混合方法设计来提供严格的形成性和总结性评估，旨在将学生的发展与对照组进行比较。总体愿景是催化整个大学对研究的越来越多的承诺。
