MINORITY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT PROGRAM ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

MBRS计划浓缩活动的目标是， 班尼特学院是为了激励那些选择了专业的学生 生物学、化学、数学/计算机科学或 心理学考虑生物医学研究的职业。 一 数据库是由提交文件的学生的姓名编制的。 申请参加浓缩活动。 目标 将通过以下目标实施：1） 提供 优秀的模范教师讲授他们的研究2）采取 全国MBRS学生研讨会，其他 会议和/或研讨会，以扩大他们的知识3）发送 学生短期课程，以提高他们的深度 理解补助金批准的学科之一4） 协助教师和学生寻找暑期研究 5） 协助学生申请研究生院6）收集以下信息- 关于MBRS参与者的信息，以评估其有效性 的计划。 一个主要的新方向是预测在一个 额外的目标。 1997 - 2000年浓缩计划将 扩大目标，纳入生物医学协会 我们相信，该计划将使游泳池增加50% 积极主动，学术准备的科学毕业生， 将有竞争力地进入生物医学研究生课程 研究职业准备。 一个20人的新生团， 大二的学生每年都会遵循一系列的规定， 采取干预措施，实现MBRS目标。

The goal of the enrichment activities of the MBRS Program at Bennett College is to motivate students who have chosen a major in biology, chemistry, mathematics/computer science or psychology to consider careers in biomedical research. A database is compiled of the names of students who file applications to participate in the enrichment activities. The goal will be implemented by the following objectives: 1) Provide outstanding model faculty to lecture on their research 2) Take students to the national MBRS Students Symposium, other conferences and/or workshops to expand their knowledge 3) Send students to short courses to improve the depth of their understanding in one of the approved disciplines of the grant 4) Assist faculty and students in locating summer research appointments and providing travel supplements where feasible 5) Assist students in applying for graduate school 6) Collect follow- up information on MBRS participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. A major new direction is projected in an additional objective. The enrichment plan for 1997 - 2000 will extend the objective to incorporate a BioMedical Associates Program (BMAP) which we believe will increase by 50% the pool of highly motivated, academically prepared science graduates who will move competitively into graduate programs for biomedical research career preparation. A corp of twenty freshman and sophomore students each year will follow a series of prescriptive intervention strategies to accomplish the MBRS goal.
