MINORITY BIOMEDICAL CAREER ENHANCEMENT AT CAL STATE LA

加州州立大学洛杉矶分校(加州州立大学洛杉矶分校)提议建立一个MBRS-Rise努力，对少数群体成员进入生物医学研究职业产生重大影响。我们提出了一个由三项发展活动组成的计划：本科生、研究生和教职员工各一项。目标是至少60%的本科生和75%的硕士学生将参加研究生课程以获得博士学位。该计划将让本科生和硕士学生参加适合他们水平的活动，并包括：通过刻意的联合课程活动计划来增强坚实的科学课程，包括：在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和其他机构进行大量的研究参与机会；参加特别的研讨会和课程；仔细的学术和职业建议；通过与加州州立大学理科教师和其他成功的加州州立大学理科学生建立联系；参加促进小组；参加生物医学系列研讨会。该项目旨在培养学生在数学、科学和英语方面的扎实技能，以支持在自然科学和行为科学的本科专业和硕士课程中取得优异的学术成就。学生发展活动涉及加州州立大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学欧文分校圣地亚哥分校和南加州大学之间的合作。通过与学术和工业生物医学科学家的互动，并参与扎实的研究经验，期望参与者将现实地激励到生物医学科学的职业生涯中；并为从本科生和硕士到博士学习的过渡做好充分准备。

California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA) proposes to establish an MBRS-RISE effort to make a significant impact on the entry of minority group members into biomedical research careers. We propose a program of three developmental activities: one each for undergraduate, graduate students, and faculty. Objectives are that at least 60 percent of the participating undergraduates and 75 percent of the masters students will enroll in graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. The Program would involve undergraduates and master students in activities appropriate to their level and includes: a solid science curriculum enhanced by a program of deliberate co- curricular activities, including: strong opportunities for research participation at Cal State LA and other institutions; participation in special workshops and courses; careful academic and career advisement; networking through the deliberate interaction of the RISE students with science faculty and other successful Cal State LA science students; participation in facilitated groups; participation in a biomedical sciences seminar series. The program is designed for students to develop solid skills in mathematics, the sciences, and the English language to support high academic achievement in demanding undergraduate majors and masters programs in the natural and behavioral sciences. Student development activities involve collaboration between Cal State LA, UCLA, UC Irvine UC San Diego, and the University of Southern California. With the expectation that participants would be realistically motivated to careers in the biomedical sciences through interaction with academic and industrial biomedical scientists, and participation in solid research experiences; and be well- prepared for the transition from undergraduates and masters students to Ph.D. study.
