DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brooklyn College RISE program is designed to broaden the opportunities of students from under- represented groups through the integration of developmental activities and opportunities for research experiences to increase the knowledge, skills and motivation of students moving from undergraduate status into graduate programs in biomedical and behavioral research fields. The RISE program has achieved the evaluated goals of increasing knowledge and skills through provision of academic supports, improvements in the quality and impact of teaching in college science classrooms, developmental workshops that teach about the steps needed to enter graduate programs, and ample opportunities during the academic year and summers to be involved in research, including training in research methods and participation in faculty- mentored research experiences. In the next cycle, the RISE program will continue all these successful components, expanding and institutionalizing supplemental instruction for more science classes, developing components for more freshman and sophomores to become directly involved in interesting group research projects to increase their interest and skills for more intensive research involvement as students progress through college. The program will work with the developers of a new curriculum to equip younger students for research to customize and test the course with our students. The RISE program will also continue to serve as a pilot program for pedagogical innovation, including approaches such as SCALE-UP and POGIL in basic science classes. Also continuing will be components that introduce students to important academic networks for summer externship programs (required by the program) and graduate school success by partnering with T- 32 level research institutions in New York City to give students regular access to what such institutions are like, how graduate students function within them and most importantly, how to make good use of individuals in such institutions who can help them reach their goals. Also in this new cycle, the program will be adding a significant and innovative component: to work more directly and in a more individualized manner with issues of URM students' motivation and motivational barriers to academic success for those with high potential to achieve entry to graduate school, using information from psychological assessments of relevant constructs. The method employs early, student-directed research on career options to link short-term activities with longer-term career and life goals. Working intensively with individual students, program staff will coach students to develop explicit sets of goals, subgoals, and related tasks each semester that will lead to successful careers. These "Formula for Success" documents will guide advisement and programming for individual students and for cohorts in the program. By directly addressing motivational issues, framed by sound psychological theory, we will improve student outcomes and program yields in the service of NIH MORE Division goals and increase the numbers of URM students and faculty in biomedical and behavioral research.

描述（由申请人提供）：布鲁克林学院 RISE 计划旨在通过整合发展活动和研究经验机会来扩大来自代表性不足群体的学生的机会，以增加本科生学生的知识、技能和动力进入生物医学和行为研究领域的研究生课程。 RISE 计划通过提供学术支持、提高大学科学课堂教学质量和影响力、教授进入研究生课程所需步骤的发展研讨会以及在学习期间提供充足的机会，实现了增加知识和技能的评估目标。学年和暑假参与研究，包括研究方法培训和参与教师指导的研究经验。在下一个周期中，RISE项目将继续所有这些成功的组成部分，扩大和制度化更多科学课程的补充教学，为更多大一和大二学生开发组件，让他们直接参与有趣的小组研究项目，以提高他们的兴趣和技能，以进行更深入的研究。学生在大学学习过程中参与研究。该计划将与新课程的开发者合作，帮助年轻学生进行研究，与我们的学生一起定制和测试课程。 RISE 计划还将继续作为教学创新的试点计划，包括基础科学课程中的 SCALE-UP 和 POGIL 等方法。此外，还将继续开展与纽约市 T-32 级别研究机构合作的项目，向学生介绍暑期实习项目（项目要求）和研究生院成功的重要学术网络，让学生定期了解这些机构的情况，研究生如何在其中发挥作用，最重要的是，如何充分利用此类机构中能够帮助他们实现目标的个人。此外，在这个新周期中，该计划将增加一个重要和创新的组成部分：以更直接、更个性化的方式，解决 URM 学生的动机问题以及为那些具有高潜力进入研究生的学生提供学业成功的动机障碍。学校，使用相关概念的心理评估信息。该方法采用早期的、以学生为主导的职业选择研究，将短期活动与长期职业和生活目标联系起来。项目工作人员将与个别学生密切合作，指导学生每学期制定明确的目标、子目标和相关任务，以实现成功的职业生涯。这些“成功公式”文件将为个别学生和项目中的群体提供建议和规划指导。通过直接解决动机问题，以合理的心理学理论为框架，我们将提高学生的学习成绩和项目产出，以服务于 NIH MORE 部门的目标，并增加 URM 生物医学和行为研究领域的学生和教师数量。
