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端学院(UTB/TSC)有为学术上不同的拉美裔人口(93%)提供服务的传统，其主要目标是为学生进入国家劳动力大军提供教育。该计划的主题是通过校内和校外体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有十年历史的德克萨斯最南端学院加强和扩大生物医学科学领域的研究和研究培训至关重要。MBRS Rise计划将为以西班牙裔为主的学生和教职员工(少数族裔和其他人)提供迄今无法获得的机会，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，并在专业上成长。MBRS RISE计划将加强和丰富大学的研究环境。具体的活动将提高学生在校园内和社区内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职员工参与生物医学研究。预计它还将增加毕业和进入研究生学习和生物医学科学领域获得博士学位的学生人数。UTB/TSC的MBR Rise计划将通过与新成立的里奥格兰德河谷下拉美裔健康研究中心合作，支持2010年健康人目标，该中心专门解决这一边境地区独特的健康差距。MBR RISE计划的目标如下：目标1：增加UTB/TSC学生申请和注册生物医学研究生课程的人数。目标2：加强UTB/TSC的教员研究能力。目标3：加强大学的研究基础设施。这项MBR Rise提案的长期效果是增加了这所拉美裔大学的教职员工和学生认识并激励他们从事生物医学研究和相关职业的机会。
