DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CSU San Marcos RISE Program will increase the pool of racial and ethnic minority students who pursue research careers in the biomedical sciences. The proposed program has three Developmental Activities: Student, Faculty, and Institutional. Our primary measurable objective is to place 90% of our RISE Scholars into graduate school. Our Undergraduate Student Developmental Plan has 5 goals: creating a pre-RISE program to create a large, highly qualified recruitment pool; enhancing academic performance; enhancing communication skills; participation in biomedical research; and graduate school application. Each year, 25 undergraduate RISE Scholars (URS) will participate in the program, consisting of 5 RISE sophomores (from pre-RISE), 10 juniors (5 entering from community colleges) and 10 seniors--all chosen and retained using rigorous standards. URS will participate in a set of activities designed to make them competitive for admission to prestigious graduate schools, including participation in a challenging curriculum supported by a range of academic support services, research training, research seminars, and supervised original research leading to scientific publications. Our students will develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, writing and oral communication, leadership, and teamwork. Finally, URS will participate as a cohort in a year-long set of activities designed to place them into graduate school and to track completion of their graduate degrees. The Graduate Student Developmental Plan has four goals: RISE graduate scholar recruitment; retention and enhancement of academic performance; participation in research; and application to graduate school. In years 1 and 2 our Graduate Program will select 6 graduate RISE Scholars (GRS); this will increase to 8 in years 3 and 4. GRS 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 for the URS. Placement of URS and GRS into graduate school will be facilitated through our agreements with several institutions. The Faculty Developmental Activity has one goal, enhancement of student mentoring skills. The Institutional Developmental Activity 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 methods. Counting graduates for 2003 and 2004, 63% (12/19) have gone on to graduate school. In addition, 8 current RISE Scholars have applied for fall 2005 graduate school admission and 7 (88%) have already been admitted increasing our placement record to 70% (19/27)--a clear pattern of increased success over the first 3 years of the project facilitated by rigorous evaluation. The national RISE Program's goal and the CSUSM strategic plan are in nice alignment. The regional minority population growth, the campus' commitment to diversity, the success of the current RISE Program, the supportive faculty, the experience of the program director, the existing highly coordinated MBRS SCORE, MARC and Bridges Programs, and new science buildings equipped with modern scientific instruments and powerful instructional resources collectively make CSUSM an ideal location to operate a successful RISE Program.

描述（由申请人提供）：CSU San Marcos RISE计划将增加追求生物医学科学研究事业的种族和少数民族学生的人数。拟议的计划有三个发展活动：学生，教师和机构。我们的主要可衡量目标是将90%的RISE学者送入研究生院。我们的本科生发展计划有5个目标：创建一个预RISE计划，以创建一个大型的，高素质的招聘池;提高学习成绩;提高沟通能力;参与生物医学研究;和研究生院应用。每年，25名本科生RISE学者（URS）将参加该计划，包括5名RISE学者（来自预RISE），10名大三学生（5名来自社区学院）和10名大四学生-所有人都是使用严格的标准选择和保留的。URS将参加一系列活动，旨在使他们具有进入著名研究生院的竞争力，包括参加由一系列学术支持服务、研究培训、研究研讨会和受监督的原创研究支持的具有挑战性的课程，最终导致科学出版物。我们的学生将培养批判性思维，解决问题，写作和口头沟通，领导力和团队合作的强大技能。最后，URS将作为一个队列参加一系列为期一年的活动，旨在将他们安置在研究生院，并跟踪他们的研究生学位的完成情况。 研究生发展计划有四个目标：RISE研究生学者招聘;保留和提高学习成绩;参与研究;和申请研究生院。在第1年和第2年，我们的研究生课程将选择6名研究生RISE学者（GRS）;这将在第3年和第4年增加到8名。GRS将参与一系列类似于URS所述的活动，并将承担URS导师和榜样的额外责任。我们将通过与多个机构的协议来促进URS和GRS进入研究生院。 教师发展活动有一个目标，提高学生的指导技能。机构发展活动将倡导校园采用和成功的RISE活动的资金。我们的评估计划使用形成性和总结性方法为每个项目目标提供可衡量的目标和评估标准。计算2003年和2004年的毕业生，63%（12/19）进入研究生院。此外，8名目前的RISE学者已申请2005年秋季研究生院入学，7名（88%）已被录取，将我们的安置记录提高到70%（19/27）--这是一个在严格评估的推动下，项目前3年成功率提高的明显模式。 国家RISE计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划非常一致。区域少数民族人口的增长，校园对多样性的承诺，当前RISE计划的成功，支持教师，计划主任的经验，现有的高度协调的MBRS评分，MARC和桥梁计划，以及配备现代科学仪器和强大的教学资源的新科学建筑，共同使CSUSM成为成功运营RISE计划的理想地点。
