The overall goal of the MORE Division for MBRS programs and the Brooklyn College RISE program is to increase the numbers of underrepresented faculty and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research and to broaden the opportunities for these individuals to participate in biomedical and behavioral research through the provision of integrated developmental activities to increase knowledge, skills and information as students move from undergraduate status into doctoral programs. Diversification of the science workforce is an important national public health goal. Our RISE program proposes to improve on our earlier positive impacts on undergraduate URM success by extending efforts to assist RISE students develop strong academic knowledge and skills and motivation to enter science careers through a series of linked developmental activities and milestones. In response to a needs analysis and program evaluation, a plan for extending undergraduate activities and introducing doctoral students to the program is proposed. The key activities for the undergraduate component of the program are a comprehensive 6-week prefreshman summer program concentrating on orientation to the demands of college-level work in the sciences, introduction to peer-assisted methods to improve academic outcomes in a for-credit precalculus class, and a variety of workshops to help students adjust to college , develop skills in communication, information and computer literacy, and begin to be exposed to information about research careers, and above all, improve academic outcomes compared with control subjects. Many of these activities continue in a tightly integrated Learning Community and academic support throughout the 4 years of college. Students will begin to work in faculty labs to develop information about research and research careers, and will be encouraged to get external summer research experience. They will also will be exposed in a series of workshops to information on responsible conduct of research. Work on preparing for graduate school and standardized tests in support of successful applications to graduate school is also part of the program. The graduate component includes admission of a new cohort of RISE doctoral students, academic support, and excellent research training to allow them to progress successfully and without delay to completion of the doctoral degree and movement into post-doctoral and research scientist positions after graduation.

MORE 部门的 MBRS 项目和布鲁克林学院 RISE 项目的总体目标是 增加从事生物医学和行为学领域代表性不足的教师和学生的数量 研究并扩大这些人参与生物医学和行为学的机会 通过提供综合发展活动进行研究，以增加知识、技能和 学生从本科阶段转入博士课程时的信息。多元化 科学劳动力是一项重要的国家公共卫生目标。我们的 RISE 计划建议改进 我们早期通过加大力度协助 RISE 学生，对 URM 本科生的成功产生了积极影响 通过一系列的课程培养强大的学术知识和技能以及进入科学职业的动力 将发展活动和里程碑联系起来。为了响应需求分析和计划评估， 提出了扩大本科生活动和引进博士生的计划。 该项目本科部分的主要活动是为期 6 周的综合活动 新生暑期项目，重点关注大学水平工作的需求 科学，介绍同伴辅助方法，以提高学分微积分预备课程的学术成果 课程和各种研讨会帮助学生适应大学，培养沟通技巧， 信息和计算机素养，并开始接触有关研究职业的信息，以及 最重要的是，与对照科目相比，提高了学业成绩。其中许多活动仍在继续 整个大学四年紧密结合的学习社区和学术支持。学生 将开始在教师实验室工作，以开发有关研究和研究职业的信息，并将 鼓励获得外部暑期研究经验。他们也将在一系列的 讲习班提供有关负责任的研究行为的信息。为研究生院做准备 支持成功申请研究生院的标准化考试也是该计划的一部分。这 研究生部分包括录取新一批 RISE 博士生、学术支持和 优秀的研究培训，使他们能够成功地取得进展，毫不拖延地完成研究 博士学位以及毕业后进入博士后和研究科学家职位。
