DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC) has a tradition of serving an academically diverse Hispanic population (93%) whose primary goal is to provide for the education of students to enter the national workforce. The theme of this program is to nurture the skills and interests of both students and faculty in biomedical research through on-campus and off-campus experiences. The MBRS RISE Program is essential for The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College, a ten year-old university, to enhance and expand research and research training in the fields of biomedical sciences. The MBRS RISE Program will provide heretofore unavailable opportunities for predominately Hispanic students and faculty (minority and others) to become aware of biomedical research as a professional career, to engage them in biomedical research, and to grow professionally. The MBRS RISE Program will enhance and enrich the research "milieu" at the university. Specific activities will increase awareness of students on-campus and within the community of biomedical research as a potential career opportunity and lead to an increased number of students and faculty involved in biomedical research. It is also expected to increase the number of students graduating and entering into graduate studies and fields of the biomedical sciences leading to the doctoral degree. The MBRS RISE Program at UTB/TSC will support the goals of Healthy People 2010 through the collaboration with the newly created Hispanic Health Research Center of the Lower Rio Grande Valley that specifically addresses the unique health disparities of this border region. Goals for this MBRS RISE program are as follows: Goal No 1: Increase the number of UTB/TSC students applying to and enrolling in graduate program in the biomedical sciences. Goal No. 2: Strengthen the faculty research capabilities at UTB/TSC. Goal No. 3: Augment the University research infrastructure. The long-term effect of this MBRS RISE proposal is to increase opportunities for this Hispanic university's faculty and students to become cognizant of and motivated to pursue biomedical research and related careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校和德克萨斯最南学院 (UTB/TSC) 有着为学术多元化的西班牙裔人口 (93%) 提供服务的传统，其主要目标是为学生提供进入国家劳动力市场的教育。该计划的主题是通过校内和校外的经验培养学生和教师在生物医学研究方面的技能和兴趣。 MBRS RISE 计划对于德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校和德克萨斯南端学院（一所拥有十年历史的大学）来说至关重要，以加强和扩大生物医学领域的研究和研究培训。 MBRS RISE 计划将为主要是西班牙裔的学生和教师（少数族裔和其他人）提供迄今为止无法获得的机会，让他们意识到生物医学研究是一种职业生涯，让他们参与生物医学研究，并实现专业发展。 MBRS RISE 计划将增强和丰富大学的研究“环境”。 具体活动将提高校园内和社区内学生对生物医学研究作为潜在职业机会的认识，并导致更多的学生和教师参与生物医学研究。 预计还将增加毕业并进入研究生学习和生物医学领域攻读博士学位的学生人数。 UTB/TSC 的 MBRS RISE 计划将通过与新成立的下里奥格兰德河谷西班牙裔健康研究中心合作，支持“健康人民 2010”的目标，该中心专门解决该边境地区独特的健康差异问题。 MBRS RISE 计划的目标如下： 目标 1：增加申请和注册生物医学研究生课程的 UTB/TSC 学生数量。 目标 2：加强 UTB/TSC 教师的研究能力。 目标 3：增强大学研究基础设施。 MBRS RISE 提案的长期影响是增加这所西班牙裔大学的教师和学生了解并积极从事生物医学研究和相关职业的机会。
