DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS-RISE program at Albany State University seeks to increase the skills and interest of students and faculty in biomedical research, develop on-campus research programs, and increase the number of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical research. In order to achieve this, an environment of research and teaching infused with biomedical science will be developed. Project-based activities and a laboratory research techniques course that emphasize biomedical techniques will engage students in hands-on activities, introduce students to the practice of research, stimulate interest in research type activities and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Building on this foundation, research-based learning will continue in the sophomore through senior years with off-campus research opportunities. Students will enhance written and oral communication skills as they present their research at conferences. A seminar series that promotes awareness of the current biomedical research and researchers, and requirements for entry into the biomedical field will be developed. Faculty will be supported in enhancing their biomedical skills through seminars, courses and hands-on workshops as well as through off-campus research at more research intensive universities. Students will be supported through the implementation of workshops that enhance their academic performance for success in their undergraduate careers and GRE and graduate school workshops that prepare them for entry into their graduate careers. The program will result in more faculty and students engaging in biomedical research and contribute to the pool of underrepresented minorities in biomedical careers.

描述(由申请者提供)：奥尔巴尼州立大学的MBRS-RISE项目旨在提高学生和教职员工对生物医学研究的技能和兴趣，发展校园研究项目，并增加从事生物医学研究的少数族裔人数。为了实现这一目标，将建立一个充满生物医学科学的研究和教学环境。以项目为基础的活动和强调生物医学技术的实验室研究技术课程将使学生参与动手活动，向学生介绍研究实践，激发对研究型活动的兴趣，并发展批判性思维和解决问题的技能。在此基础上，研究性学习将在大二至大四继续进行，并提供校外研究机会。学生在会议上展示他们的研究成果时，将提高他们的书面和口头交流技能。将举办一系列研讨会，提高人们对当前生物医学研究和研究人员的认识，以及进入生物医学领域的要求。将通过研讨会、课程和实践讲习班，以及通过在更多研究密集的大学进行校外研究，支持教师提高他们的生物医学技能。将通过举办讲习班和GRE和研究生院讲习班为学生提供支助，这些讲习班将提高他们的学业成绩，使他们在本科职业生涯中取得成功，为他们进入研究生职业生涯做准备。该计划将导致更多的教职员工和学生从事生物医学研究，并为生物医学职业生涯中未被充分代表的少数族裔做出贡献。
