To improve our overall academic environment, the MBRS program was initiated in 1985 to offer research opportunities to science students and faculty. As part of this long term goal, we are proposing in this application to improve and expand under the new MBRS RISE initiative, several of the activities developed in our current program. These changes will be assessed and each component monitored by an external evaluator working with the activity coordinators, the program director, and the MBRS Advisory Committee. The RISE program will consist of three components: a series of research experience son campus to attract and retain motivated freshmen and sophomores, a series of seminars and workshops by visiting scientists for all students, and finally, summer research opportunities to conduct investigations off-island in major universities for juniors and seniors. Each activity enables students and faculty to develop basic research skills by interacting with a different group of experts: 1) on-campus faculty mentors, 2) on-island research mentors located at selected affiliated institutions, 3) visiting scientists from off-island universities, and 4) scientists located in collaborating institutions. The first component has on-campus and on- island mentors working with students during their first two years. During this two year period students will work with five different mentors learning the bases of experimental design and the associated techniques in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, histology, etc. The second component has visiting scientists presenting seminars and workshops on current topics in biomedical research and state of the art methodologies to expand the faculty and student horizons. Third, juniors and sensors can experience graduate school life by working during the summer with an off-island scientists are research intensive institutions. Each component challenges the students as they develop utilizing the appropriate environment and level of expertise to produce CUC alumni who will be biomedical research scientists. Currently 30% of all MBRS graduates (n=133) are pursuing either a Ph.D.(n=14) or an M.S. degree (n=23).

为了改善我们的整体学术环境，MBRS 项目于 1985 年启动，为理科学生和教师提供研究机会。作为这一长期目标的一部分，我们在此应用程序中建议在新的 MBRS RISE 倡议下改进和扩展我们当前计划中开发的几项活动。这些变化将由外部评估员与活动协调员、项目总监和 MBRS 咨询委员会合作进行评估和监控。 RISE项目将由三个部分组成：一系列校园内的研究体验，以吸引和留住积极进取的新生和大二学生；一系列由访问科学家为所有学生举办的研讨会和讲习班；最后，为大三和大四学生提供在岛外主要大学进行调查的暑期研究机会。每项活动都使学生和教师能够通过与不同专家组的互动来发展基本研究技能：1）校内教师导师，2）位于选定附属机构的岛上研究导师，3）来自岛外大学的访问科学家，以及4）位于合作机构的科学家。第一部分由校内和岛上的导师在学生的头两年内与学生一起工作。在这两年期间，学生将与五位不同的导师一起学习实验设计的基础以及分子生物学、细胞生物学、遗传学、组织学等方面的相关技术。第二部分由访问科学家就生物医学研究和最先进方法论的当前主题举办研讨会和讲习班，以扩大教师和学生的视野。第三，大三学生和传感器可以在暑假期间与岛外研究密集型机构的科学家一起工作，体验研究生院生活。每个部分都对学生提出挑战，因为他们利用适当的环境和专业水平来培养 CUC 校友，他们将成为生物医学研究科学家。目前，30% 的 MBRS 毕业生 (n=133) 正在攻读博士学位 (n=14) 或硕士学位。学位（n=23）。
