MBRS Development and Enhancement at CSUN

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学，北岭 （CSUN）建议建立一个MBRS-RISE计划，以提高参与度 少数民族在生物医学研究事业中的地位。我们提出了一个方案， 三个发展活动：一个在本科阶段，另一个为 一个是硕士生，一个是教师。我们希望早日达成协议， 干预，发展沟通的基本技能，批判性思维， 数学，一个强大的课程，并有机会参加一个 研究项目将导致：增加RISE合格的学生，100% 参与者的毕业率，最终结果是我们计划的60% 进入博士阶段的本科生生物医学相关领域的项目。我们 期待早日获得认可，强有力的指导，并参与 CSUN与八位博士之间的合作安排授予机构 将导致95%的计划的学生完成MS和80%进入 博士程序.教师将提供研讨会，以提高他们的 指导技能，有机会参加夏季研究， 研究密集型大学和研讨会，将帮助他们准备 有竞争力的研究项目。我们预计70%的教师将被评为 他们的学员满意或更高，90%的MBRS教师 将申请NSF RUI，SCORE或其他校外课程。的成果 所有这些活动将为学生进入竞争性研究做好准备 项目，帮助他们坚持获得博士学位，最后，将使这个 在增加少数民族参与方面取得重大进展的计划 在科学上。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, Northridge (CSUN) proposes to establish an MBRS-RISE program to improve the participation of minorities in biomedical research careers. We have proposed a program with three developmental activities: one at the undergraduate level, another for MS-level students and one for faculty. We expect that early advisement, early intervention, development of basic skills in communication, critical thinking, mathematics, a strong curriculum and the opportunity to participate in a research project will result in: an increase in RISE eligible students, a 100% graduation rate of the participants, with an end result of 60% of our program's undergraduates entering Ph.D. programs in biomedically-relevant fields. We expect that early advisement, strong mentoring, and participating in the collaborative arrangements between CSUN and eight Ph.D. granting institutions will result in 95% of the program's students completing the MS and 80% entering Ph.D. programs. Faculty will be provided with workshops to improve their mentoring skills, with opportunities to participate in summer research at research-intensive universities and workshops that will help them prepare competitive research proposals. We expect that 70% of the faculty will be rated as satisfactory or higher by their mentees and that 90% of the MBRS faculty will apply for an NSF RUI, SCORE or other extra-mural program. Outcomes from all these activities will prepare students for entry into competitive research programs, help them persist to earn the Ph.D., and finally, will enable this program to make significant strides towards increasing minority participation in science.
