As the 4th-fastest-growing research institution in the U.S., with two medical schools and heavy recent investment in biomedical research infrastructure and personnel, Rowan University is an emerging leader in biomedical innovation in the Mid-Atlantic region. Despite this growth, Rowan maintains a strong commitment to student-centered, experiential undergraduate education. This unique combination makes Rowan University an optimal environment for a new diversity-enhancing NIH U-RISE training program. U-RISE@Rowan will provide comprehensive education and training to broadly educate and engage underrepresented (UR) students in biomedical research opportunities (Aim 1), to build a community of research-driven UR students with the skills for success in biomedical careers (Aim 2), and to generate a pipeline of highly-qualified UR graduates that succeed in doctoral-level biomedical careers (Aim 3). The training program will include four stages: RISE & See; RISE & Strive; RISE & Shine; and RISE
