The long-term objective of the proposed MBRS-RISE program at Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SEOSU) is to increase the number of its minority students going into graduate studies and eventually into successful biomedical science careers at the Ph.D. level. The design of the proposed program is based on experience gained over the years through MBRS funded activities, and new enhancement experiences offered during the freshman and sophomore years will develop the basic skills necessary for science majors. These will allow minority students to perform competitively in their academic courses. Enhancement activities will also introduce students to the philosophy and methods of science through direct participation exercises. The RISE program will insure that the students are properly prepared for involvement in research during their junior and senior years. A rational approach has been taken, and several deficiencies of the older MBRS program have been addressed. The specific aims of the enhancement experiences are as follows: development of math and computer skills for core science courses; introduction to the philosophy of sciences; development of critical thinking skills; specific preparation for more troublesome courses such as molecular biology and physical chemistry; development of laboratory skills; development of communicative skills; and preparation for GRE testing. Above all, the encouragement and development of the individual student will be a central issue. The intent is to impart self-confidence and a will to be a high achiever.

东南部俄克拉荷马州州立大学（SEOSU）拟议的MBRS-RISE计划的长期目标是增加少数民族学生进入研究生学习的人数，并最终进入成功的生物医学科学职业的博士学位。水平拟议计划的设计是基于多年来通过MBRS资助的活动所获得的经验，以及大一和大二期间提供的新的增强经验将培养科学专业所需的基本技能。这将使少数民族学生在学术课程中表现出竞争力。强化活动也将通过直接参与练习向学生介绍科学的哲学和方法。RISE计划将确保学生在大三和大四期间为参与研究做好充分准备。已经采取了合理的方法，并解决了旧MBRS计划的几个缺陷。增强体验的具体目标如下：发展核心科学课程的数学和计算机技能;介绍科学哲学;发展批判性思维技能;为分子生物学和物理化学等更麻烦的课程做具体准备;实验室技能的发展;交流技能的发展;以及为GRE考试做准备。最重要的是，鼓励和发展个别学生将是一个中心问题。目的是传授自信和成为一个高成就者的意愿。
