MBRS RISE Program

描述（由申请人提供）：在奥尔巴尼州立大学MBRS-RISE计划旨在提高技能和学生和教师在生物医学研究的兴趣，开发校园内的研究计划，并增加从事生物医学研究的代表性不足的少数民族的数量。为了实现这一目标，将开发一个充满生物医学科学的研究和教学环境。基于项目的活动和强调生物医学技术的实验室研究技术课程将使学生参与实践活动，向学生介绍研究实践，激发对研究型活动的兴趣，并培养批判性思维和解决问题的能力。在此基础上，研究性学习将继续在大二通过高年级与校外研究的机会。学生将提高书面和口头沟通能力，因为他们在会议上提出他们的研究。将举办一系列研讨会，提高对当前生物医学研究和研究人员的认识，并提高进入生物医学领域的要求。教师将通过研讨会，课程和实践讲习班以及通过在研究密集型大学的校外研究来提高他们的生物医学技能。学生将通过研讨会的实施，提高他们的学业成绩，在他们的本科生涯和GRE和研究生院的研讨会，为他们进入他们的研究生职业生涯的成功支持。该计划将导致更多的教师和学生从事生物医学研究，并有助于在生物医学职业中代表性不足的少数民族的人才库。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS-RISE program at Albany State University seeks to increase the skills and interest of students and faculty in biomedical research, develop on-campus research programs, and increase the number of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical research. In order to achieve this, an environment of research and teaching infused with biomedical science will be developed. Project-based activities and a laboratory research techniques course that emphasize biomedical techniques will engage students in hands-on activities, introduce students to the practice of research, stimulate interest in research type activities and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Building on this foundation, research-based learning will continue in the sophomore through senior years with off-campus research opportunities. Students will enhance written and oral communication skills as they present their research at conferences. A seminar series that promotes awareness of the current biomedical research and researchers, and requirements for entry into the biomedical field will be developed. Faculty will be supported in enhancing their biomedical skills through seminars, courses and hands-on workshops as well as through off-campus research at more research intensive universities. Students will be supported through the implementation of workshops that enhance their academic performance for success in their undergraduate careers and GRE and graduate school workshops that prepare them for entry into their graduate careers. The program will result in more faculty and students engaging in biomedical research and contribute to the pool of underrepresented minorities in biomedical careers.
