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.

这项本科生MBR Rise项目旨在增加学术水平合格、积极性高的少数族裔学生参加动手生物医学研究实习的人数。在资助周期的每一年，十五(15)名学生将在大一前一年的夏天进入该项目，并将在完成二年级的过程中接受一系列发展活动。学生发展活动将主要在三(3)个部分内进行：(1)旨在提供数学和科学知识及学习技能的学前教育研讨会；(2)旨在提供同辈辅导的学年教师导师/学生倡导者计划；(3)大二前研究研讨会，旨在通过课程作业和实践研究实验室见习，让学生熟悉生物医学研究的性质。这些活动将在阿肯色大学派恩布拉夫分校(UAPB)校园内进行。预计完成该项目后，学生将在学术上做好准备，并高度积极地竞争校内和校外的研究实习机会。预计至少20%的完成该项目的学生将在大学四年级结束前参加至少一次研究实习。预计这些学生将继续读研究生，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未被充分代表的少数群体的数量。
