DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The FSU-RISE program is located at Fayetteville State University (FSU), the second-oldest historically black public institution of higher education in the state and one of the 17 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System. Based upon the success of the FSU-RISE program since its inception in 2002, this application proposes to expand the dynamic, multi-faceted program to include math and computer science majors in the third funding cycle. The overarching goal of FSU-RISE is to increase the number of well-prepared Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Math, and Computer Science FSU graduates entering graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences by having at least 75% (9 of 12) FSU-RISE graduates enroll in doctoral programs each year. To achieve this goal, four objectives have been proposed: (1) To enhance the academic preparation of biology, chemistry, psychology, math and computer science majors so that at least 80% of students earn a 3.0 GPA or better each year; (2) To provide students with research training and hands-on research experiences so that at least 85% of students will engage in research each year; (3) To enhance the capability of at least 75% (45 of 60) of faculty to provide biomedical and behavioral research training through development workshops each year; and (4) To improve the biomedical and behavioral research training environment at FSU by engaging at least 75% (45 of 60) of faculty in research-related activities each year. To address these objectives, a series of phased-in student development activities have been designed to strengthen the academic performance and research skills of students beginning with pre-freshmen and continuing through the senior year. Each year of participation in the program, students build upon skills developed and gain new experiences in preparation for competitive entry into graduate schools. Real world research experience is gained through extramural summer internships and intramural research activities. Faculty development and institutional development activities are designed to enhance the research training infrastructure at the institution. The expected outcomes of the continued successful implementation of the FSU-RISE Program are: (1) 75% of students entering the program each year will persist in the science, psychology, math and computer science major; (2) 100% of scholars completing the program will be accepted into a graduate program following graduation from FSU; and (3) each year, 75% of the FSU-RISE scholars who graduate will enter a doctoral program in biomedical/behavioral science fields. Formative and summative reports will be used to evaluate program performance measures and effectiveness.

描述（由申请人提供）：FSU-RISE 项目位于费耶特维尔州立大学 (FSU)，该大学是该州历史第二悠久的黑人公立高等教育机构，也是北卡罗来纳大学系统 17 所组成机构之一。基于 FSU-RISE 计划自 2002 年启动以来所取得的成功，该申请建议扩大这一动态、多方面的计划，将数学和计算机科学专业纳入第三个资助周期。 FSU-RISE 的总体目标是增加至少 75%（12 人中的 9 人）进入生物医学和行为科学研究生课程的做好充分准备的生物学、化学、心理学、数学和计算机科学 FSU 毕业生的数量-RISE 毕业生每年都会报读博士课程。为实现这一目标，提出了四个目标：（1）加强生物、化学、心理学、数学和计算机科学专业的学术准备，使至少80%的学生每年获得3.0或更高的GPA； （2）为学生提供研究训练和实践研究经验，使每年至少85%的学生从事研究； (3) 每年通过发展研讨会提高至少 75%（60 名教师中的 45 名）提供生物医学和行为研究培训的能力； (4) 每年让至少 75%（60 名教师中的 45 名）参与研究相关活动，改善 FSU 的生物医学和行为研究培训环境。为了实现这些目标，我们设计了一系列分阶段的学生发展活动，以加强学生的学术表现和研究技能，从新生开始一直持续到高年级。每年参与该计划，学生都会积累所发展的技能并获得新的经验，为竞争性进入研究生院做好准备。现实世界的研究经验是通过校外暑期实习和校内研究活动获得的。教师发展和机构发展活动旨在加强机构的研究培训基础设施。 FSU-RISE项目持续成功实施的预期成果是：（1）每年进入该项目的学生中有75%将坚持选择科学、心理学、数学和计算机科学专业； (2) 100%完成该项目的学者将在FSU毕业后被录取进入研究生项目； (3) 每年，75% 的 FSU-RISE 毕业生毕业生将进入生物医学/行为科学领域的博士课程。形成性和总结性报告将用于评估计划绩效指标和有效性。
