项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, Claflin University (CU), an independent, four year, co-educational, residential, career-oriented liberal arts university, is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Founded in 1869, CU is the oldest historically black college/university (HBCU) in the state. Over 90% of the student body is African American and 39% are first generation college students, making Claflin a vital part of local, regional, and national efforts to recruit minority and female students into advanced degrees and research-oriented careers in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. The student body is diverse and consists of approximately 2,000 students of which 40% are male and 60% are female. CU's retention and graduation rates are 77% and 40%, respectively. The 2010 U.S. News & World Report, "Guidebook to America's Best Colleges and Universities" ranked CU #1 in the South among 80 schools nationally for its "Strong Commitment to Teaching" and #2 in the South among 77 schools nationally as a "Top Up-and-Coming School." The proposed CU RISE Undergraduate Program (UP) consists of interdisciplinary research projects that 48 RISE Scholars, recruited and selected based on high scholarly achievements, will conduct under the supervision of a total of 12 researchers at CU and in collaboration with institutions that have research-intensive environments focusing on National Institutes of Health Training Programs over a five year period. At CU, the project will be conducted in various laboratories (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics-Computer Science and Engineering) in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (SNSM), with selected projects integrated with community-based participatory public health research to help address pertinent health disparities using latest bio-techniques, computer-aided diagnosis in medical imaging datasets and Geographic Information Systems in collaboration with the School of Humanities. In addition, students will be trained in Responsible Conduct of Research, and will participate in journal clubs and writing laboratories. This project will enhance students' enthusiasm in research and promote career development with an increased number of underrepresented students entering and completing PhD programs in biomedical/behavioral sciences. As a result, we aim to place 50% of participants (6/12) into PhD programs each year after the second, 24 at the end of 5 years; improve from 48% to 63% the track record of highly-qualified students who complete a degree (B.S./B.A. or M.S.) in SNSM at Claflin University and pursue a graduate or professional degree at institutions with research-intensive environments, thus increasing Ph.D. degree-seekers from 14.5% to 25% of those in graduate/professional degrees. We will foster experienced advising from an internal and external advisory committee using the well-structured Evaluation Plan of CU RISE UP.

描述（由申请人提供）：克拉夫林大学 (CU) 位于南卡罗来纳州奥兰治堡，是一所独立、四年制、男女同校、住宿、以职业为导向的文科大学，隶属于联合卫理公会，成立于 1869 年。 CU 是该州历史最悠久的黑人学院/大学 (HBCU)，超过 90% 的学生是非裔美国人，其中 39% 是第一代大学生，这使得克拉夫林大学成为至关重要的一所大学。这是当地、地区和国家招收少数族裔和女性学生进入科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域的高级学位和研究型职业的努力的一部分。学生群体多元化，由大约 2,000 名学生组成。 CU 的留校率和毕业率分别为 77% 和 40%，《2010 年美国新闻与世界报道》《美国最佳大学指南》。和大学”中，CU 因其“对教学的坚定承诺”而在全国 80 所学校中排名第一，在全国 77 所学校中被评为“顶尖新兴学校”，在南方排名第二。拟议的 CU RISE 本科课程(UP) 由跨学科研究项目组成，由 48 名根据高学术成就招募和选拔的 RISE 学者组成，将在 CU 总共 12 名研究人员的监督下，并与具有相关研究成果的机构合作开展该项目将在 CU 建立一个以国家卫生研究院培训计划为重点的研究密集型环境。该研究在自然科学与数学学院 (SNSM) 的各个实验室（生物学、化学、数学-计算机科学和工程）进行，选定的项目与基于社区的参与性公共卫生研究相结合，利用最新的生物技术帮助解决相关的健康差距。与人文学院合作，学生将接受负责任的研究行为培训，并在医学成像数据集和地理信息系统中进行技术、计算机辅助诊断。参加期刊俱乐部和写作实验室。该项目将提高学生的研究热情，并促进职业发展，让更多的弱势学生进入并完成生物医学/行为科学博士学位课程。因此，我们的目标是让 50% 的学生能够进入该领域。第二次之后每年有 24 名参与者 (6/12) 进入博士学位课程，5 年后完成学位的高素质学生的记录从 48% 提高到 63%；克拉夫林大学 SNSM（学士/文学士或硕士学位），并在研究密集型环境的机构攻读研究生或专业学位，从而使攻读博士学位的人数从研究生/专业学位人数的 14.5% 增加到 25%。我们将利用 CU RISE UP 结构完善的评估计划，培养来自内部和外部咨询委员会的经验丰富的建议。
