Program Summary The U-RISE program will be located at Fayetteville State University (FSU), which is one of the 17 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina System and the second oldest public institution of higher education in the state. The U-RISE program will be a research training program comprised of a series of evidence-based, phased-in awareness, mentoring and developmental activities designed to help students succeed in college, and transition into biomedical, research-focused, higher degree programs upon graduation. Underrepresented minority (URM) students from biology, chemistry, forensic science, math, and computer science majors will engage in intensive research training and professional development activities beginning at the college sophomore year through their acceptance into graduate schools. Each year of program matriculation, trainees will develop new skills and experiences to become more competitive applicants for graduate schools. In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, alternative virtual training activities have been proposed in the event future face-to-face meetings are prohibited. Based upon institutional assessments and the previous successful design of the FSU-RISE program, this application proposes to establish a U-RISE program at FSU with an overarching goals to develop an increased talent pool of well-trained URM students in biology, chemistry, forensic science and math and computer science in which at least 90% (27 of 30) will graduate with baccalaureate degrees from FSU with at least a 3.0 GPA; and at least 75% (23 of 30) will transition into biomedical, research- focused higher degree programs within the 5 years of funding. The following three objectives are proposed to achieve these goals: 1. To enhance the academic preparation of URM trainees in biology, chemistry, forensic science, mathematics, and computer science such that each year 2. To provide meaningful research training experiences to develop a well-prepared URM trainee pool of research-ready, critical and independent thinkers for competitive entry into biomedical research-focused higher degree programs each year 3. To engage trainees in cohort-building interventions each year to enhance self-efficacy and biomedical research-focused higher degree identity Trainees will be selected through a competitive application process, which includes meeting program criteria and performing well in an interview. Longitudinal, mixed-methods formative and summative evaluations will be conducted to evaluate measures/benchmarks and program effectiveness.

计划概要 U-RISE 项目将设在费耶特维尔州立大学 (FSU)，该大学是 17 所大学之一 北卡罗来纳大学系统的组成机构和第二古老的公立大学 该州的高等教育机构。 U-RISE 计划将是一个研究培训计划 由一系列循证、分阶段的意识、指导和发展活动组成 旨在帮助学生在大学取得成功，并过渡到生物医学、以研究为重点的高等教育领域 毕业后的学位课程。 生物、化学、法医学、数学和医学领域代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生 计算机科学专业将从事强化研究培训和专业发展 从大学二年级开始直到他们被研究生院录取为止的活动。每个 在课程入学的一年中，学员将发展新的技能和经验，以变得更加 研究生院的竞争性申请者。鉴于最近的 COVID-19 大流行，替代方案 如果未来禁止举行面对面会议，建议开展虚拟培训活动。 根据机构评估和之前 FSU-RISE 计划的成功设计， 该申请建议在 FSU 建立一个 U-RISE 计划，其总体目标是开发 生物、化学、法医学和数学领域训练有素的URM学生人才库不断增加 和计算机科学，其中至少 90%（30 人中的 27 人）将获得学士学位 FSU 的 GPA 至少为 3.0；至少 75%（30 人中的 23 人）将转向生物医学、研究领域 在资助的 5 年内重点关注更高学位课程。以下三个目标是 建议实现这些目标： 1. 加强URM学员在生物学、化学、法医学方面的学术准备 科学、数学和计算机科学使得每年 2. 提供有意义的研究培训经验，以开发准备充分的URM 训练有素的研究准备、批判性和独立思想家的人才库，以便有竞争力地进入 每年以生物医学研究为重点的更高学位课程 3. 每年让学员参与队列建设干预措施，以提高自我效能和 以生物医学研究为重点的更高学位身份 学员将通过竞争性申请流程进行选拔，其中包括会议计划 标准并在面试中表现良好。纵向、混合方法形成性和总结性 将进行评估以评价措施/基准和方案的有效性。
