项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) proposes an MBRS RISE to implement a 4-stage program that targets underrepresented (UR) students for career exposure, academic enhancement, research training and professional development in biomedical/behavioral sciences. This program is designed for maximal institutional impact in which all entering students (freshmen and transfer) in the RISE relevant disciplines will be invited to participate. Thereafter, a regimen of training, development and ongoing self and program selection will increase the number of WSSU students in the RISE relevant departments (89% UR) who are retained within majors, pursue graduate degrees in sciences, and gain admission directly into PhD programs. This application focuses on the development of learning communities that facilitate academic mentoring and research training of undergraduates by 1) introducing UR's at the freshman and sophomore (lower classmen) levels to biomedical or behavioral research, while developing a supportive peer community that values academic excellence and professional development; 2) fostering independent research experiences for qualified and motivated junior/senior (upper classman) undergraduates. This element of our program will further develop the professional skills necessary for these students to enter competitive PhD programs in the broad disciplines of biomedical/behavioral science. A particular emphasis will be placed on our relationships with research-intensive universities with various pre-doctoral T32 programs for a smooth transition into graduate programs. The training program has over 20 extramurally-funded training faculty mentors with primary academic appointments in ten different Departments, Centers and Programs within two institutions (Wake Forest University Health Sciences [WFUHS] and WSSU) and will draw trainees from three departments (life sciences, chemistry, and behavioral sciences) in the College of Arts and Sciences at WSSU. We aim to 1) build a supportive learning community with the undergraduate freshman class to foster academic success, career exploration and professional development; 2) facilitate formal training in research skills for a self-selected sophomore cohort through registration for an intense elective laboratory research methods course; 3) engage a competitively selected cohort of juniors (RISE Fellows) to function as a Learning Community through their participation in paid mentored research activities by providing exposure to research faculty in both basic science and clinical and through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigations; and 4) strengthen undergraduate senior participants' critical thinking skills by providing an Investigation and Research course associated with biological and behavioral research techniques to enhance the understanding of basic science research and graduate education. This program will benefit from the ongoing collaboration of several established investigators at WSSU and WFUHS, the majority of whom have assembled in a shared basic science building in the Piedmont Triad Research Park campus. The combination of facilities, faculty, and other resources provides a rich and vibrant interdisciplinary training environment for undergraduate students who are interested in biomedical/behavioral sciences. The program will be guided by an advisory committee consisting of both internal and external members and reviewed by an independent program evaluator for a formative and summative evaluation and to determine the specific impact of this program on students choosing to obtain a PhD. We are confident in our ability to achieve this outcome and anticipate that this program's activities will serve as a model for other students in biomedical or behavioral science disciplines at WSSU.

描述（由适用提供）：温斯顿·塞勒姆州立大学（WSSU）提出，MBRS崛起以实施一个四阶段计划，该计划的目标是代表人数不足的学生（UR）职业曝光，学术增强，研究培训，研究培训和生物医学/行为科学的专业发展。 This program is designed for maximum institutional impact in which all entering students (freshmen and transfer) in the RISE relevant disciplines will be invited Thereafter, a regimen of training, development and ongoing self and program selection will increase the number of WSSU students in the RISE relevant departments (89% UR) who are retained within majors, purchase graduate degrees in sciences, and gain admission directly into PhD programs.该申请的重点是学习社区的发展，这些学习社区促进了学术心理和研究培训的本科生的研究培训。 2）为合格和积极进取的初中/高级（上层阶级）的本科生培养独立的研究经验。我们计划的这一要素将进一步发展这些学生在生物医学/行为科学领域广泛学科中进入竞争性博士学位课程所需的专业技能。我们将特别重点放在我们与研究密集型大学与各种博士前T32计划的关系上，以平稳过渡到研究生课程。该培训计划在两个机构（Wake Forest University Health Sciences [wfuhs]和WSSU）的十个不同部门，中心和计划中，拥有20多名幕后资助的培训教师导师，并将吸引艺术和艺术学院的三个部门（化学，化学，化学，化学科学，行为科学）的学员。我们的目标是1）建立一个由本科生新生班建立一个支持的学习社区，以促进学术成就，职业探索和专业发展； 2）通过注册强烈的选修实验室研究方法课程，为自选的大二队列提供了正式的研究技能培训； 3）通过参加基础科学和临床研究的研究教师的经验，并通过免除临床相关投资的激动和挑战，参与他们参与有偿指导的研究活动的竞争选择，以作为学习社区的工作； 4）通过提供与生物学和行为研究技术相关的研究和研究课程来增强本科高级参与者的批判性思维能力，以增强对基础科学研究和研究生教育的理解。该计划将受益于WSSU和WFUHS的几位知名研究人员的持续合作，他们中的大多数人都参加了Piedmont Triad Research Park校园的共享基础科学大楼。设施，教师和其他资源的结合为对生物医学/行为科学感兴趣的本科生提供了丰富而充满活力的跨学科培训环境。该计划将由由内部和外部成员组成的咨询委员会指导，并通过独立计划评估进行形成和总结性评估，并确定该计划对选择获得博士学位的学生的具体影响。我们对我们实现这一结果的能力充满信心，并预计该计划的活动将成为WSSU生物医学或行为科学学科中其他学生的典范。
