MSD MINORITY STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

加州州立大学长滩分校(CSULB)提议在 它在少数生物医学研究支持(MBR)方面的经验 创建少数民族学生发展(MSD)计划的计划。我们的 目标是增加代表人数不足的少数民族的数量 理科学生选择生物医学研究的职业。该方法 是为学生提供研究人员的就业机会，解决 在经验丰富的教师指导下的实际研究问题 研究导师。我们建议进一步开展学生研究 通过实施一系列研讨会取得成功，这些研讨会涵盖了 科学方法和问题的各个方面。负责以下事务的副总裁 学术事务，自然科学学院院长和 数学，各参赛部门的主席已承诺 支持MSD计划的资金，方法是提供教师释放时间和 支持MSD教程程序。 评估和评估将是我们MSD计划不可或缺的一个方面。 我们将使用我们少数族裔正在开发的工具来访问 研究职业(MARC)计划。我们已经开始了一次总结性评估 MBR给我们的学生带来的不同。结果是， 我们的MBR参与者中有86%毕业，43% 继续攻读研究生课程，他们的平均绩点显著高于 均大于对照组。SAS窗口的使用 多媒体设施将允许学生作业的电子文件夹 进行维护，部分用于评估。

California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) proposes to build upon its experience with its minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program to create a Minority Student Development (MSD) Program. Our objective is to increase the number of underrepresented ethnic minority sciences students choosing careers in biomedical research. The approach is to provide the students with employment as researchers, addressing real research problems under the guidance of experienced faculty research mentors. We propose to further develop student research success through implementation of a series of workshops covering various aspects of scientific methods and issues. The Vice-President for Academic Affairs, the Dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the chairs of the participating departments have committed funds to support the MSD Program by providing faculty release time and support for an MSD tutorial program. Assessment and evaluation will be an integral aspect of our MSD Program. We will use the instruments being developed in our Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program. We have begun a summative evaluation of the difference MBRS has made with our students. The results are that 86 percent of our MBRS participants have graduated, that 43 percent have gone on to graduate programs, and that their GPA is significantly greater than those of the control groups. Use of the SAS Windows Multimedia Facility will allow electronic portfolios of student work to be maintained, in part for use in evaluation.
