DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 master's of science 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 on diseases that disproportionately 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 M.S.P.H. level more minorities in biomedical and behavioral science disciplines. 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 areas of the Ph.D. RISE students. We will also provide means for M.S.P.H. 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. Many of our graduates continue the tradition of teaching and research that characterizes the College. 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的 Meharry RISE 计划的目标是通过让少数族裔学生参与卓越计划，显着增加从事生物医学和行为科学研究职业的少数族裔学生的数量。梅哈里医学院在生物医学科学学科的博士学位毕业方面拥有良好的记录，其中许多人进入学术机构，在那里他们继续教学、研究和服务的传统，这是我们使命的一部分。学院作为一个整体，致力于教育代表性不足的少数族裔。研究生院成立 34 年来，已培养了 208 名生物医学博士和 350 多名公共卫生理学硕士。因此，它在帮助学生为研究生涯做好准备方面拥有良好的记录，重点关注对少数群体影响较大的疾病。我们一直是联邦政府资助的少数族裔项目的接受者，并利用这些项目提供强大的研究培训和良好的教育机会，为我们学生的发展做出贡献。梅哈里 RISE 项目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相结合，提供继续攻读博士学位和硕士学位所需的基础设施和活动。在生物医学和行为科学学科中培养更多的少数群体。 已经开发了一系列明确的活动来帮助过渡博士学位。学生从事生物医学科学研究。这些活动包括通过专业课程加强学生培训，例如博士生的资助写作和独立桥梁、重组 DNA 和生物统计学。学生，以及博士培训领域专家实验室的外部研究机会。崛起的学生。我们还将为 M.S.P.H. 提供资金。对行为科学博士职业感兴趣的学生与梅哈里和范德比尔特最近在该领域聘用的一小群但非常强大的教师团队一起进行研究。梅哈里 RISE 项目的总体目标是为梅哈里医学院研究生院的学生提供更多机会，确保他们过渡到成功且富有成效的研究职业。我们的许多毕业生延续了学院的教学和研究传统。我们的目标是增加从事研究事业的代表性不足的少数群体的数量，特别是因为健康差异研究是当今国家的一个主要问题。
