项目摘要

ABSTRACT The goal of the proposed Meharry RISE program is to significantly increase the number of minority students pursuing biomedical and behavioral sciences research careers by involving them in a program of excellence. Meharry Medical College has a strong record of graduating Ph.D.s in biomedical science disciplines, many of whom enter academic institutions where they continue the tradition of teaching, research and service that is a part of our mission. The College as a whole has a proven commitment to educating underrepresented minorities. The School of Graduate Studies and Research has graduated 208 Ph.D.s in Biomedical Sciences and more than 350 Masters of Sciences in Public Health during its 34 years of existence. Therefore it has a strong record of preparing students for research careers with a strong focus in diseases that disproportionally affect minority individuals. We have been the recipient of federally-funded underrepresented minority programs and have used these programs to contribute to the development of our students by providing strong research training coupled with excellent education opportunities. Continuing funding of a Meharry RISE program will allow us in combination with other funded programs at Meharry Medical College to provide the infrastructure and activities needed to continue to graduate at the doctoral and MSPH level more minorities in biomedical and behavioral science disciplines. The goal of the RISE program is to increase the number of graduate students pursuing research careers. A set of well defined activities has been developed to help transition Ph.D. students into research careers in biomedical sciences. These activities involve enhancement of student training with specialty courses such as Grant Writing and Bridges to Independence, Recombinant DNA and Biostatistics for Ph.D. students, as well as external research opportunities in laboratories of experts in the training area of the Ph.D. RISE student. We will also provide means for MSPH students interested in doctoral careers in behavioral sciences to perform research with a small but very strong group of faculty at Meharry and Vanderbilt who have been recently hired in this area. The overall objective of the Meharry RISE program is to provide students in the Graduate School at Meharry Medical College with enhanced opportunities to ensure their transition to successful and productive research careers. NARRATIVE The goal of the proposed Meharry RISE program is to significantly increase the number of minority students pursuing research careers in the area of biomedical and behavioral sciences. The School of Graduate Studies and Research at Meharry Medical College, a historically black college, is a leader in graduating Ph.D.s in biomedical sciences. We have graduated 208 Ph.D.s in Biomedical Sciences and more than 350 Masters of Sciences in Public Health during the School's 34 years of existence. Many of our graduates continue the tradition of teaching and research that characterizes the College. We have received federal funds to enhance the enrollment and graduation of underrepresented minorities and have provided excellent educational opportunities to all of our students. The RISE program will provide the necessary infrastructure and activities for us to continue to provide excellent graduate education to underrepresented minority students. Our goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities who pursue careers in research, especially since health disparity research is a major issue in the nation today.

抽象的拟议的 Meharry RISE 计划的目标是显着提高从事生物医学和行为科学研究的少数族裔学生数量通过让他们参与卓越计划来发展职业生涯。梅哈里医学院在生物医学博士毕业生方面拥有良好的记录科学学科，其中许多人进入学术机构继续研究教学、研究和服务的传统是我们使命的一部分。学院作为 Whole 已证明致力于教育代表性不足的少数群体。学校研究生和研究学院已毕业 208 名生物医学博士学位其成立 34 年来，已培养了 350 多名公共卫生理学硕士。因此，它在帮助学生为研究职业做好准备方面有着良好的记录重点关注对少数群体影响尤为严重的疾病。我们一直是联邦资助的代表性不足的少数族裔计划的接受者，并已使用这些计划通过提供强有力的研究为学生的发展做出贡献的计划培训加上良好的教育机会。 Meharry RISE 计划的持续资助将使我们能够与梅哈里医学院的其他资助项目提供基础设施和继续获得博士和公共卫生硕士学位所需的活动更多少数族裔在生物医学和行为科学学科。 RISE项目的目标是增加研究生数量追求研究事业。开发了一系列明确的活动来帮助过渡博士学生从事生物医学科学研究。这些活动包括通过格兰特写作等专业课程加强学生培训以及通往独立、重组 DNA 和生物统计学博士学位的桥梁。学生，以及培训领域专家实验室的外部研究机会博士的崛起的学生。我们还将为有兴趣的 MSPH 学生提供途径行为科学博士职业，以小规模但非常强大的方式进行研究梅哈里大学和范德比尔特大学最近在该领域受聘的一组教师。 Meharry RISE 项目的总体目标是为学生提供梅哈里医学院研究生院提供更多机会确保他们向成功且富有成效的研究生涯的过渡。叙述拟议的 Meharry RISE 计划的目标是显着提高在生物医学和生物医学领域从事研究工作的少数族裔学生数量行为科学。梅哈里医学院研究生与研究学院学院是一所历史悠久的黑人学院，是生物医学博士毕业生的领先者科学。我们已毕业 208 名生物医学博士和 350 多名学校成立 34 年来，一直授予公共卫生理学硕士学位。许多我们的毕业生延续了教学和研究的传统大学。我们已收到联邦资金来提高学生的入学率和毕业率少数族裔代表性不足，并为所有人提供了极好的教育机会我们的学生。 RISE 计划将提供必要的基础设施和我们继续为代表性不足的人提供优秀的研究生教育的活动少数民族学生。我们的目标是增加代表性不足的少数族裔的数量从事研究事业的人，特别是因为健康差异研究是一个主要领域当今全国的问题。
