7. Project Summary/Abstract 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 South Carolina. Over 90% of the student body is African American and 39% are first generation college students, making CU a vital part of local, regional, and national efforts to recruit minority and female students into advanced degrees and research-oriented careers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Our commitment to train future scientists and engineers through hands-on, research pursuits under the direct mentorship of active science and engineering faculty has emerged as our primary pedagogic paradigm. All students in Claflin’s School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (SNSM) are required to participate in research that culminates in a senior research thesis or research proposal. The proposed Undergraduate-Research Initiative for Student Enhancement (U- RISE) targets interdisciplinary research with 18 U-RISE Trainees, recruited, selected, and retained using a holistic approach, under the supervision of 15 researchers at CU and in collaboration with biomedical researchers in research-intensive environments focusing on National Institutes of Health Training Programs over a five-year period. Projects will be conducted in various laboratories (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics-Computer Science and Engineering) in SNSM, with selected projects integrated with community-based participatory public health research to address pertinent health disparities in collaboration with the School of Humanities and external research collaborators. Faculty mentors will complete required training activities that include topics of Diversity Training and Cultural Sensitivity. Trainees will complete required courses, Introduction to Research and Research Ethics, and participate in weekly sessions to include journal clubs, Responsible Conduct of Research, CITI modules, writing modules, and cultural sensitivity modules, Graduate Record Exam Preparation, application for internships, application for graduate school, oral and poster preparation and practice, manuscript preparation, and interview skills. Moreover, team building sessions throughout the program, from orientation to graduation, will provide a supportive environment. Students’ preparation, enthusiasm, and self-confidence will enhance career development with an increased number of underrepresented students entering and completing Ph.D. programs in biomedical-focused areas. As a result, we aim to place 33% of trainees (2 graduating trainees) into Ph.D. programs yearly after the third year, 6 at the end of 5 years, within 3 years of graduation, building upon strategic plans for recruitment, selection, and retention as well as upon implementation of efficient tracking to completion. With these plans implemented properly from lessons learned in our RISE program and from other successful programs, we anticipate a significant increase in students’ matriculating into Ph.D. and MD/Ph.D. programs because of the number entering Master’s Programs.

7. 项目总结/摘要 克拉夫林大学 (CU) 位于南卡罗来纳州奥兰治堡，是一所独立的四年制男女混合大学， 住宿型、以职业为导向的文科大学，隶属于联合卫理公会。 1869 年，CU 是南卡罗来纳州历史最悠久的黑人学院/大学 (HBCU)，其学生人数超过 90%。 主体是非裔美国人，39% 是第一代大学生，这使得 CU 成为当地、区域、 以及国家招收少数族裔和女学生攻读高级学位和研究型职业的努力 我们致力于培养未来的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域。 科学家和工程师在活跃的科学和技术的直接指导下通过实践和研究追求 工程学院已成为我们克拉夫林自然学院所有学生的主要教学范式。 科学和数学（SNSM）需要参与最终成为高级研究的研究 拟议的本科生研究计划（U-） RISE）以跨学科研究为目标，通过 18 名 U-RISE 学员进行招募、选择和保留 整体方法，在 CU 15 位研究人员的监督下并与生物医学研究人员合作 在研究密集型环境中，重点关注国家卫生研究院五年培训计划 项目将在各个实验室（生物、化学、数学-计算机科学）进行。 和工程）在 SNSM 中，选定的项目与基于社区的参与性公共卫生相结合 与人文学院和外部合作进行研究以解决相关的健康差异 研究合作者。教师导师将完成包括多样性主题的所需培训活动。 培训和文化敏感性学员将完成必修课程、研究简介和 研究道德，并参加每周的会议，包括期刊俱乐部、负责任的研究行为、 CITI 模块、写作模块和文化敏感性模块、研究生入学考试准备、 实习申请、研究生院申请、口语和海报准备及练习、手稿 此外，整个项目中的团队建设课程，从入职培训开始。 到毕业，将为学生提供一个支持性的准备、热情和自信的环境。 随着越来越多的代表性不足的学生入学和就业，将促进职业发展 因此，我们的目标是让 33% 的学员（2）完成生物医学领域的博士课程。 毕业实习生）在第三年之后每年进入博士学位课程，5年后的6年，在毕业后的3年内 毕业，建立在招聘、选拔和保留的战略计划以及 有效跟踪实施情况，并从经验教训中妥善实施这些计划。 在我们的 RISE 计划和其他成功的计划中，我们预计学生的 由于进入硕士课程的人数较多，因此被录取为博士和医学博士/博士课程。
