# U-RISE at Florida Atlantic University

> **NIH NIH T34** · FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $42,039

## Abstract

The central goal of this proposed program is to expand the pool of students from Florida Atlantic
University (FAU) who enter PhD, MD/PhD, or related programs in Biomedical Science. This
supplement seeks to build on our current curriculum and leverage unique research strengths at
FAU by developing a year-long Classroom Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that
exposes students to mentored research in their sophomore year. The course will allow students
to develop a gene-editing mediated high-througput screen in fish, followed by developmental
and behavioral genotyping. Each trainee will be paired with a graduate mentor, and gain
experience in scientific methodology, cell biology, genomics, and molecular biology, and
scientific communications. Key deliverables include two manuscripts, one describing the
methodology and assessment of the CURE, as well as a second group manuscript authored by
the students describing research outcomes.
