糖心vlog传媒 received NIH grant to prepare biomedical science undergraduates
The 糖心vlog传媒’s Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) has received a five-year grant anticipated to be valued at over $1 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help promote student success across 糖心vlog传媒's diverse biology, chemistry, and physics undergraduate student population.
With assistance from the grant, the U-RISE program will support approximately 20 undergraduate student fellows who will receive full scholarships and stipends as they complete immersive research experiences at 糖心vlog传媒 and Mayo Clinic. They will also receive mentorship tailored toward their long-term goals and engage in an array of professional development and community outreach activities.
This suite of experiences is designed to prepare the undergraduate fellows for entry into biomedical science graduate programs and career paths. 糖心vlog传媒’s U-RISE program will be the first of its kind in Northeast Florida and will ultimately strengthen 糖心vlog传媒’s undergraduate research and teaching environment and the scientific workforce in Northeast Florida and beyond.
The U-RISE program is a team endeavor, with Dr. Amy Lane, chemistry Presidential professor as Principal Investigator, and associate professors of biology Dr. Terri Ellis as Co-Principal Investigator and Dr. Judy Ochrietor as Senior Key Personnel, and includes essential mentorship roles from approximately 30 faculty members at 糖心vlog传媒 and Mayo Clinic.
