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大学和德克萨斯大学最南学院（UTB/TSC）的传统是为学术多样化的西班牙裔人口服务（93％），其主要目标是提供学生进入国家劳动力的教育。该计划的主题是通过校园和校外体验来培养学生和教师在生物医学研究中的技能和兴趣。 MBRS Rise计划对于十年历史的大学布朗斯维尔大学和德克萨斯大学最南学院的德克萨斯大学至关重要，以增强和扩展生物医学科学领域的研究和研究培训。 MBRS Rise计划将为主要的西班牙裔学生和教职员工（少数群体和其他人）提供迄今无法获得的机会，使他们意识到将生物医学研究作为一种职业生涯，使他们参与生物医学研究，并以职业发展。 MBRS Rise计划将增强和丰富大学的“环境”研究。 具体的活动将提高对校园学生和生物医学研究社区的认识，这是潜在的职业机会，并导致涉及生物医学研究的学生和教职员工的数量越来越多。 还可以预计，它将增加毕业并进入研究生研究的学生人数，并增加了生物医学科学的领域。 UTB/TSC的MBRS RISE计划将通过与下里奥格兰德河谷新成立的西班牙卫生研究中心的合作来支持健康人2010的目标，该研究中心专门解决了该边界地区独特的健康差异。 该MBRS崛起计划的目标如下：目标1：增加申请和入学研究生课程的UTB/TSC学生的数量。 目标2：增强UTB/TSC的教师研究能力。 目标3：扩大大学研究基础设施。 这项MBRS崛起建议的长期影响是为这所西班牙裔大学的教职员工增加机会，以了解并有动力从事生物医学研究和相关职业。
