DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, Northridge (CSUN) proposes to establish an MBRS-RISE program to improve the participation of minorities in biomedical research careers. We have proposed a program with three developmental activities: one at the undergraduate level, another for MS-level students and one for faculty. We expect that early advisement, early intervention, development of basic skills in communication, critical thinking, mathematics, a strong curriculum and the opportunity to participate in a research project will result in: an increase in RISE eligible students, a 100% graduation rate of the participants, with an end result of 60% of our program's undergraduates entering Ph.D. programs in biomedically-relevant fields. We expect that early advisement, strong mentoring, and participating in the collaborative arrangements between CSUN and eight Ph.D. granting institutions will result in 95% of the program's students completing the MS and 80% entering Ph.D. programs. Faculty will be provided with workshops to improve their mentoring skills, with opportunities to participate in summer research at research-intensive universities and workshops that will help them prepare competitive research proposals. We expect that 70% of the faculty will be rated as satisfactory or higher by their mentees and that 90% of the MBRS faculty will apply for an NSF RUI, SCORE or other extra-mural program. Outcomes from all these activities will prepare students for entry into competitive research programs, help them persist to earn the Ph.D., and finally, will enable this program to make significant strides towards increasing minority participation in science.

描述(由申请者提供)：加州州立大学北岭分校(CSUN)建议建立一个MBRS-RISE计划，以提高参与度 在生物医学研究事业中的少数族裔。我们已经提出了一个项目， 三项发展活动：一项是本科水平，另一项是 MS级学生和一名教职员工。我们期待着早期的建议，早期的 干预，培养沟通的基本技能，批判性思维， 数学，强大的课程和参与 研究项目将导致：符合条件的学生增加100% 参与者的毕业率，最终结果是我们项目的60% 进入生物医学相关领域的博士课程的本科生。我们 期待早期的建议，强有力的指导，并参与 CSUN与八个博士授予机构之间的合作安排 将导致95%的学生完成MS课程，80%的学生进入 博士学位课程。将为教职员工提供研讨会，以提高他们的 指导技能，有机会参加暑期研究 研究密集型大学和研讨会，帮助他们做好准备 竞争性研究提案。我们预计70%的教职员工将被评为 被学员满意或更高，90%的MBR教职员工 将申请NSF Rui、SCORE或其他校外项目。结果来自 所有这些活动将为学生进入竞争性研究做好准备。 计划，帮助他们坚持获得博士学位，并最终实现这一点 计划在增加少数族裔参与方面取得重大进展 在科学上。
