Individual Nomination

弗兰克·T·贝利斯旧金山州立大学弗兰克·贝利斯教授在旧金山州立大学(SFSU)任教超过25年。他建立了该校第一个基因工程研究实验室。贝利斯教授于1992年成立了旧金山州立大学学生充实机会办公室，以加强本科生和研究生的教育和研究经验。2003年，贝利斯教授获得了加州州立大学生物技术教育和研究计划颁发的安德烈奥利生物技术服务奖。该奖项是为了表彰对加州生物技术发展做出的杰出贡献。在过去的二十年里，弗兰克·贝利斯教授杰出的导师努力使旧金山州立大学成为培训和教育来自科学领域代表性不足群体的学生的全国性力量，这些学生后来攻读并获得了博士学位。此外，他的导师努力已经成为科学教师多元化的典范。通过他的学生充实机会(SEO)计划，贝利斯教授为少数族裔学生的职业发展提供了特殊的机会。通过SEO，贝利斯教授建立了一个贯穿从新生到博士学生的连锁人才发展和支持系统，强调了重要的过渡：高中到新生；社区大学到旧金山州立大学本科生；学士到旧金山州立大学硕士；以及旧金山州立大学学士或硕士到博士。SEO企业在学生的本科和硕士学术生涯中支持学生的成就和成长。SEO学生充实计划的综合效果显著提高了生物系和化学与生物化学系中未被充分代表的本科生、学士后学生和硕士学生的保留率和学业成就。所有这些计划都是为了增加少数民族理科学生准备成功攻读博士学位并成为国家-S研究事业的参与者。在过去的三年里，弗兰克·贝利斯教授的少数民族学生获得了全国顶尖研究型大学的博士学位。他的搜索引擎优化研究培训项目准备在可预见的未来每年将20-30名代表不足的少数族裔学生送入博士项目。在过去的三年里，他以前的学生中有19人完成了博士学位。另有20人预计将在2008年完成博士学位，102人有望在未来五年内获得博士学位。在几十年来，很少有旧金山州立大学的少数民族学生申请或进入博士项目的背景下，这种异常高的成功水平尤其值得注意。他与教师的指导努力导致了美国印第安人、西班牙裔、非裔美国人和太平洋岛民在化学与生物化学和生物系的教职员工的聘用和职业生涯的成功。

FRANK T. BAYLISS San Francisco State UniversityProfessor Frank Bayliss has provided more than 25 years of teaching service at San Francisco State University (SFSU). He established the campus' first genetic engineering research laboratory. Prof. Bayliss established SFSU's Student Enrichment Opportunities office in 1992 to enhance the education and research experiences of undergraduate and graduate biology and chemistry students. In 2003, Prof. Bayliss received the Andreoli Biotechnology Service Award from the California State University Program for Education and Research in Biotechnology. The award honors outstanding contributions to the development of biotechnology in California. Professor Frank Bayliss' outstanding mentoring efforts over the past two decades have contributed significantly to making San Francisco State University a national strength in the training and education of students from groups underrepresented in science who subsequently pursue and earn the Ph.D. Furthermore his mentoring efforts have become a model for the diversification of science faculties. Through his Student Enrichment Opportunities (SEO) Programs Prof. Bayliss has provided exceptional opportunities for minority student career development. Through SEO, Professor Bayliss has established an interlocking system of talent development and support that spans the freshman-to-Ph.D. student continuum, emphasizing the important transitions: high school to freshman; community college to SFSU undergraduate; BS to SFSU masters; and SFSU BS or MS to Ph.D. The SEO enterprise supports student achievement and growth throughout the student's undergraduate and masters academic careers. The combined effect of the SEO student enrichment programs has resulted in significantly higher retention and academic achievement of underrepresented undergraduate, post-baccalaureate and masters-degree students in the department of Biology and the department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. All of these programs are focused on increasing the number of minority science students ready to succeed in Ph.D. programs and become participants in the nation?s research enterprise. In the past three years, 64 of Professor Frank Bayliss' minority students have won admission to Ph.D. programs at top research universities nationwide. His SEO research training programs are poised to place 20-30 underrepresented minority students per year into Ph.D. programs for the foreseeable future. In the past three years 19 of his former students have completed Ph.D. degrees. An additional 20 are expected to complete the Ph.D. in 2008, and 102 are on track to earn the Ph.D. within the next five years. This exceptionally high level of success is particularly noteworthy within the context that for many decades few SFSU minority students applied to or entered Ph.D. programs. His mentoring efforts with faculty have resulted in the hiring and career success of American Indian, Hispanic, African American, and Pacific Islander faculty members in the departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Biology.
