MBRS RISE Program at California State Univ, San Marcos

加州大学圣马科斯分校的Rise计划将增加种族和少数民族学生的人数，他们将继续在生物医学科学领域追求专业生涯。该计划有三个发展活动：学生、教师和机构，所有这些都有助于改善研究环境。由于我们的校园很年轻，RISE项目将帮助我们为我们的种族和少数民族理科学生塑造一种文化，而攻读研究生是一个认真和可行的选择。我们的本科生发展计划有六个可衡量的目标。目标包括招生、留住学生、提高学生的学术资历、发展领导力和团队合作能力、参与研究以及安排学生进入研究生院。28名本科生RISE学者(UR)将通过严格的遴选程序进行遴选。URS将参加一系列旨在使他们在被著名研究生院录取方面具有竞争力的活动。这些活动包括参加严格的课程、研究培训和研究研讨会，以及进行赞助研究，从而出版科学出版物。我们的学生将在批判性思维、解决问题、沟通、领导力和团队合作方面发展强大的技能，包括增强我们RS的沟通技能，我们将向一年级学生介绍这些技能，并定期改进和评估。最后，URS将参与一系列旨在将他们安排到研究生招聘、提高学生学术资历、参与研究和安排他们进入研究生院的活动。我们的研究生项目将在项目的前两年每年选择4名研究生上升奖学金(GR)，并在项目的第3年和第4年增加到6名。在GRS，他们将参与一系列类似于为URS描述的活动，他们将承担额外的责任，作为UCLA、UCSD、UCI、UCSC和UCR的导师和榜样。学院发展计划将有一系列旨在提高研究热情和生产力的活动，并加强参与的教师的指导专业知识。机构发展计划将倡导校园采用和资助成功的RISE活动。我们的评估计划为每个项目目标提供了可衡量的目标和评估标准，使用形成性和总结性评估来确定项目目标的实现情况。国家崛起计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划是完美一致的。地区少数民族人口的增长，校园对多样性的承诺，拟议的项目主任的丰富经验，以及配备现代科学仪器和强大教学资源的新科学大楼，使CSUSM成为启动MBRS-Rise计划的理想地点。

The CSU San Marcos Rise Program will increase the pool of racial and ethnic minority students who go on to pursue professional careers in the biomedical sciences. The program has three Developmental Activities: Student, Faculty, and Institutional all contributing to Enhancing the Research Environment. Since our campus is young, a RISE Program will help us shape a culture for our racial and ethnic minority science students while pursuing graduate student study is a serious and achievable option. Our Undergraduate Student Development Plan has six measurable goals. The goals include Student Recruitment, Student Retention, Enhancement of Student Academic Credentials, Development of Leadership and Teamwork Skills, Participation in Research, and Placement into Graduate School. Twenty-eight Undergraduate RISE Scholars (URS) will be chosen using a rigorous selection procedure. URS will participate in a set of activities designed to make them competitive for admission to prestigious graduate schools. These activities include participation in a rigorous curriculum research training and, research seminars and conduct sponsored research leading to scientific publications. Our students will development of strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication, leadership, and teamwork that skills including enhancement of communication skills in our RS will be introduced to first-year students and regularly improved and assessed. Finally, URS will participate in a set of activities designed to place them into graduate Recruitment,, Enhancement of Student Academic Credentials, Participation in Research, and Placement into Graduate School. Our Graduate Program will select 4 Graduate RISE Scholars (GRS) in each of the first two years of the program and increase to 6 for years 3 and 4 of the program. At the GRS they will participate in a set of activities similar to those described for the URS and they will assume additional responsibilities as mentors and role models with UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSC and UCR. The Faculty Development Plan will have a set of activities designed to increase the research enthusiasm and productivity and enhance the mentoring expertise of the participating faculty. The Institutional Development Plan will advocate for campus adoption and funding of successful RISE activities. Our Evaluation Plan provides measurable objectives and assessment criteria for each project goal using formative and summative evaluation to determine achievement of project objectives. The national RISE Program's goal and the CSUSM strategic plan are in perfect alignment. The regional minority population growth, campus commitment to diversity, the extensive experience of the proposed program director, and the new science buildings equipped with modern scientific instruments and powerful instructional resources make CSUSM an ideal location to initiate an MBRS-RISE Program.
