MBRS PROGRAM AT TEXAS WOMANS UNIVERSITY

拟议的计划扩大了TWU之前作为MBR伙伴所做的努力 调查员协会。在MBR本科生中，85.7%的人完成了 他们的学位；83.3%的MBRS学生完成了硕士学位；以及 100%的MBRS学生完成了他们的博士学位。自1989年以来，MBR 学生们已经做了48次科学报告，而MBR学生们 在25篇参考文献中担任第一作者或合著者。海流 应用程序旨在构建由 现有的MBR计划，并补充TWU的计划，以激励和 培养少数民族学生从事科学研究事业。这个 拟议的四年计划的具体目标是： 1.鼓励10名少数族裔本科生投身研究工作 生物医学科学。 2.招聘和培训10名少数族裔研究生，以追求 生物医学博士学位。 3.增加非MBR对生物医学研究的支持 为东华大学校园内的少数族裔学生提供资金。 4.增加少数族裔科学家榜样的数量 TWU校区的学生进一步激励学生进行研究 职业生涯。 5.跟踪参与计划的学生的职业发展情况 在生命科学领域；以及 6.评估拟议方案相对于以下方面的有效性 台湾大学少数民族生活研究活动总体方案 科学。

The proposed program expands TWU's previous efforts as an MBRS Associate Investigator Institution. Of the MBRS undergraduates, 85.7% completed their degree; 83.3 % of MBRS students completed their M.S. degree; and 100% of MBRS students completed their Ph.D. degree. Since 1989, MBRS students have made 48 scientific presentations and MBRS students have been first author or co-author on 25 refereed publications. The current application is designed to build upon the foundation initiated by the existing MBRS program and to complement TWU's program to motivate and train minority students to pursue research careers in science. The specific aims of the proposed 4-year program are: 1. to motivate 10 minority undergraduates to pursue a research career in the biomedical sciences. 2. to recruit and train 10 minority graduate students in pursuit of a Ph.D. degree in the biomedical sciences. 3. to increase the amount of biomedical research support from non-MBRS funds for minority students on the TWU campus. 4. to increase the number of minority scientist role models available to students on the TWU campus to further motivate students toward a research career. 5. to track participating students in their progression toward careers in the life sciences; and 6. to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed program relative to TWU's overall program for minority research activities in the life sciences.
