On-site tutoring and enrichment activities after school for three hours each day four days each week and on the St. Thomas University Campus during 3 weeks in Summer. 3.All activities are designed to achieve 4 goals, as follows: (a) To maximize the academic potential of students in reading, mathematics and science, (b) To support and increase cultural learning and student retention, (c) To help students develop, apply and maintain healthful physical practices, (d). 4. Academic and enrichment activities organized into 4 major components. Academia Series: Provides academic tutoring in reading, math and science. Cultural Fusions: Creates culturally based enrichment activities for students and their families. World of Recreation: Presents traditional (i.e. basketball) and non-traditional (i.e. fencing) sports activities and also teaches healthy nutrition practices as well as substance abuse and violence prevention. Parents Club: This is a mandatory feature of the program designed to serve parents and families of participating students. Engages parents in children s activities. 5.

CCRAA MSEIP $1.184 million $ ,000 College Cost Reduction and Access Act (CCRAA) US Department of Program (MSEIP) STU-MDC Partnership 1.Entitled Si Puedo formed a permanent Science Fellows and Mathematics Fellows Programs 2.Partnership unites University (STU) and Miami Dade College-Anti-American (MDC-IA) 3. Engages Fellows Programs in full four-year STU program & in united STU and MDC-IA seamless program continuum in biology, physics and mathematics supported by a joint STU- MDC student services program. 4. Fellows programs requisite (a) Cohort group formation for student learning community and (b) Fellows participate in research at undergraduate level. 3. Increases in Hispanic and other minority enrollment and successful matriculation. 4. Extraordinary research dimension increases entering quality graduate programs or employment. 5. To support these research-based programs the great majority of rooms in our new science building are research-teaching laboratories. 6.To increase support and advance the quality of science and mathematics education among our students the University has (a) appointed University Teacher Mentors in 28 senior high schools and (b) has acquired other but related resources for developing a K-16 (elementarysecondary-university) science and mathematics quality continuum. As an essential final feature the University seeks to gain resources to achieve permanent continuity of this innovative program for primarily Hispanics and other minorities. 7. Generates three STU professional personnel in Laboratory Direction and Student Services 1. Minority Science and Engineering Improvement 2. Provision of faculty, equipment and student services support 3. Recruits/advises underrepresented minorities and women for science and engineering

3 careers. FISPE Tip Project $300,000 one year with potential for 5 year FIPSE Project Elementary School Science Teacher Leadership Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary (FIPSE) 1.Design a research-based model of elementary school teacher leaders development to advance elementary school science teaching and learning 2.Production of inquiry-conceptual science teaching modules synchronized with Florida science teaching curriculum and best practices 3. Develop a five year program of professional development for first service in a two county area. 4. Scale-up dissemination of the elementary science teacher leaders development model 5. First year model development and implementation based in 15 elementary schools from STU with 30 initial model development 4 th and 5 th grade teachers in primarily Title I schools. 6. Five year grant proposal for further development and implementation targeted. (1) To research how zebrafish neurons regenerate after spinal cord injury; (2) To provide undergraduate students with research experience DOD Research $580,000 per annum for four years. Defense Spinal Cord Renewal Research The zebra fish spinal cord model system is unique because of the co-existence of brainstem neurons that do (regenerators) and others that don t (non-regenerators) grow their axon beyond a spinal cord injury. These responses occur in the presence of chondrotin sulfate proteoglycans (CS-PGs), which are well-known inhibitors of axon growth in the injured mammalian spinal cord. In this research program, we use an in vitro and an in vivo model system to address the overall hypothesis that the axon growth response in the injured zebra fish spinal cord is intrinsic to brainstem neurons and entails the expression of a distinct set of genes. School of Professional Studies (Angulo) ICUF Democracy Project Cycle II (Blackwell) $375,500 (3 years) ICUF Democracy s Laboratory Florida State Dept. of. Undergraduate students participate in all aspects of the research program.
