MBRS PROGRAM AT TEXAS WOMANS UNIVERSITY

拟议的计划扩大了TWU以前作为MBRS助理的努力 研究机构。在MBRS本科生中，85.7%完成了 他们的学位; 83.3%的MBRS学生完成了他们的硕士学位。程度;以及 100%的MBRS学生完成了博士学位。℃下自1989年以来，MBRS 学生们做了48个科学报告，MBRS的学生们 在25篇参考出版物中担任第一作者或合著者。当前 应用程序旨在建立在基础上发起的 现有的MBRS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工作。的 拟议的四年方案的具体目标是： 1.激励10名少数民族本科生从事研究工作， 生物医学科学 2.招收和培养10名少数民族研究生， 博士生物医学科学学位。 3.增加非MBRS的生物医学研究支持量 为TWU校园内的少数民族学生提供资金。 4.增加少数民族科学家榜样的数量， 学生在TWU校园，以进一步激励学生对研究 事业 5.跟踪参与学生的职业发展 在生命科学中;以及 6.评估拟议方案的有效性， TWU的少数民族生活研究活动的整体方案 以理工科为重

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.
