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（由适用提供）：位于南卡罗来纳州的奥兰治堡，克拉夫林大学（CU），独立，四年，共同教会，居民，以职业为导向的文科大学，是联合卫理公会的分支机构。 CU成立于1869年，是该州历史上最古老的黑人学院/大学（HBCU）。超过90％的学生是非裔美国人，39％是第一代大学生，使克拉夫林成为地方，地区和国家的重要组成部分，以使少数群体和女学生招募少数群体和科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的高级学位和面向研究的职业。学生团体多种多样，由大约2,000名学生组成，其中40％是男性，而女性为60％。 CU的保留率和毕业率分别为77％和40％。 2010年，美国新闻与世界的报告“美国最佳大学指南”在全国80所学校中排名第一的CU＃1，因为其“对教学的坚定承诺”和全国77所学校的南部为“教学的强大承诺”，这是一所“充满活力的学校”。拟议的CU崛起本科课程（UP）由跨学科研究项目组成，该项目将根据高级科学成就而招募和选择，在CU的总共12位研究人员的监督下进行招募和选择，并与具有针对五年级的健康培训计划的研究密集型环境的机构合作。在CU，该项目将是在自然科学和数学学院（SNSM）中在各种实验室（生物学，化学，数学计算机科学与工程学）中进行的，其中选定的项目与基于社区的参与公共卫生研究集成在一起，以帮助使用最新的Bio-Techniques来解决相关的健康分布，并在医学成像数据集和地理信息中，在医学成像数据集中诊断与人为信息的计算机诊断，与人为信息系统相关。此外，学生将接受负责任的研究培训，并将参加期刊俱乐部和写作实验室。该项目将增强学生对研究的热情，并促进职业发展，而人数不足的学生进入并完成了生物医学/行为科学领域的博士学位课程。结果，我们的目标是将50％的参与者（6/12）放入第二次之后的博士学位计划，在5年结束时为24；从48％提高到63％的高素质学生的往绩，这些学生在克拉夫林大学（Claflin University）的SNSM中获得学位（B.S./B.A。或M.S.），并在具有研究密集型环境的机构购买研究生或专业学位，从而增加了博士学位。学位学位从14.5％到研究生/专业学位的人中的25％。我们将使用CU的结构良好评估计划来培养内部和外部咨询委员会的经验丰富的咨询。
