Project Summary/Abstract. We seek to establish the Undergraduate Research Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) program at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). We use a growth mindset as a scaffolding for the activities and interventions we propose in this new program. The future of our nation needs scientific expertise to maintain our current global status and to help overcome the significant issues that confront humanity. This requires that this nation develops and trains the people who can solve problems facing us such as new and emergent disease such as Covid-19, including nutrition, water safety, plant productivity, normal vs. abnormal cellular processes, and mental health. However, not all sectors of the population have access to opportunities that prepare them to become fully engaged in the sciences and to lead the scientific enterprise. U.S. citizens and permanent residents belonging to certain ethnic groups are significantly underrepresented in their participation in the scientific enterprise (including basic biomedical sciences), technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as are economically/socially disadvantaged and disabled people. By doing authentic research and presenting it we expect students develop a strong self-efficacy and agency as scientists. We will accomplish this through readings on bias and hegemony that serves to exclude UR students from science. The overarching goal is to broaden diversity of those participating in basic biomedical research careers. To increase the pool of high-achieving students, we propose to continue and enhance several levels of intervention, including Summer Math and Language Arts for a one-month workshop, Science 100, and a new Freshmen seminar series. Some of these high-achieving students will apply to the mentored research component of the U- RISE program. The trainees will receive training in responsible conduct in research, molecular biology, conduct authentic research, advisement, mentoring from PIs and research preceptors, attend U-RISE seminar series, statistics and research rigor, opportunities to practice critical thinking skills, and communication. This structured program will ultimately prepare them for graduate school and lead to the Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. Historically under represented students are Afro-Americans, Mexican-Americans and other Latinos, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Filipinos and Southeast Asians. CSUN also has a large population of disabled and Pell eligible students. The U-RISE Advisory Committee will select trainees from these pools. The goal of this research component is to place 70% of students who complete the program in Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. programs. In the previous 15 years of MARC U*STAR, program (2004-19), student persistence in Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. programs is 88%. We expect similar outcomes from this new U-RISE program.

项目概要/摘要。我们寻求建立本科生研究倡议的学生 增强（U-RISE）计划在加州州立大学，北岭（CSUN）。我们用一种增长 作为我们在这个新计划中提出的活动和干预措施的脚手架。的未来 我们的国家需要科学的专门知识来维持我们目前的全球地位，并帮助克服 人类面临的重大问题。这就要求这个国家培养和培养这样的人， 可以解决我们面临的问题，如新冠肺炎等新的和紧急的疾病，包括营养， 水安全、植物生产力、正常与异常细胞过程以及心理健康。但并非 各阶层人口都有机会充分参与， 科学和领导科学事业。美国公民和永久居民属于 某些族裔群体在参与科学事业方面的代表性严重不足 （包括基础生物医学科学），技术，工程和数学（STEM） 经济/社会弱势群体和残疾人。通过做真实的研究， 我们希望学生发展出作为科学家的强大的自我效能感和能动性。我们将通过以下方式实现这一目标： 阅读偏见和霸权，服务于排除UR学生从科学。总体目标 是扩大那些参与基础生物医学研究事业的多样性。为了增加 我们建议继续并加强多个层面的干预，包括 夏季数学和语言艺术为期一个月的讲习班，科学100，和一个新的新生研讨会 系列.其中一些成绩优异的学生将申请美国大学的指导研究部分， RISE计划。受训人员将接受研究、分子生物学、 进行真实的研究，培训，PI和研究导师的指导，参加U-RISE 研讨会系列，统计和研究严谨，实践批判性思维技能的机会，以及 通信这个结构化的计划将最终为他们准备研究生院，并导致 博士或医学博士历史上代表性不足的学生是非洲裔美国人，墨西哥裔美国人和 其他拉丁美洲人，美洲原住民，太平洋岛民，菲律宾人和东南亚人。CSUN也有一个大型的 残疾人和佩尔合格的学生人口。U-RISE咨询委员会将从以下人员中挑选学员： 这些池塘。这个研究部分的目标是把70%的学生谁完成程序 博士学位或医学博士程序.在MARC U* 星星项目（2004-19）的前15年中，学生 坚持读博士或医学博士方案为88%。我们预计这种新的U-RISE会产生类似的结果 程序.
