This undergraduate MBRS RISE program is designed to increase the pool of academically qualified and highly motivated underrepresented minority students to participate in hands-on biomedical research internships. For each year of the funding cycle fifteen (15) students will enter the program in the summer of their pre-freshman year and will be exposed to a series of developmental activities through the completion of their sophomore year. Student developmental activities will take place primarily within the three (3) components of (1) Pre-freshman academic enrichment seminar which is designed to provide enrichment in math and science and study skills; (2) Academic year Faculty Mentor/Student Advocate Program which aims to provide peer tutoring; (3) Pre-sophomore research seminar which is designed to acquaint students with the nature of biomedical research through course work and hands-on research laboratory apprenticeships. These activities will take place on the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) campus. It is expected that students upon completion of the program will be academically prepared and highly motivated to compete for research internship both on campus and at extramural sites. It is expected that at least 20% of the students who complete the program will participate in at least one research internship by the end of their senior year in college. It is anticipated that these students will go on to graduate school and choose biomedical research careers. This then will aid the MBRS RISE Program in achieving its long range goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in biomedical research professions.

这个本科MBRS RISE计划旨在增加学术资格和高度积极性的少数民族学生参加动手生物医学研究实习的人才库。对于资金周期的每一年，十五（15）名学生将在大一前的夏天进入该计划，并将通过他们的大二完成一系列的发展活动。学生发展活动将主要发生在三（3）组成部分（1）新生前学术充实研讨会，旨在提供数学和科学和学习技能的丰富;（2）学年教师导师/学生倡导计划，旨在提供同侪辅导;（3）大二前的研究研讨会，旨在通过课程工作和动手研究实验室实习，使学生熟悉生物医学研究的性质。这些活动将在阿肯色州松树海崖大学（UAPB）校园举行。 预计学生在完成该计划后将在学术上做好准备，并积极参与校园和校外研究实习的竞争。预计至少有20%的学生谁完成该计划将在他们的大四结束时参加至少一个研究实习。预计这些学生将继续研究生院，并选择生物医学研究职业。这将有助于MBRS RISE计划实现其长期目标，即增加生物医学研究专业中代表性不足的少数民族的数量。
