MBRS RISE at Cal State Dominguez Hills

描述（由申请人提供）：在加州州立大学，多明格斯山（CSUDH）MBRS计划的使命是注入到CSUDH的科学部门，从而使生物医学研究，研究一般，学生，教师和机构发展的重要组成部分的研究文化。我们的RISE计划的目标和目的与国家MBRS计划的目标和目的相一致，旨在提高学生在追求生物医学研究职业方面的兴趣，技能和竞争力。我们的学生发展计划包括一个国家的最先进的研究经验，讲习班，研讨会和其他活动，以发展上升学生作为科学家，并促进他们进入博士学位。程序.我们设计了我们的计划，以服务于20名本科生从生物学，化学，物理学和心理学领域，并保持了上升学生的数量小，所以我们可以提供学术咨询，并密切监测他们的进展通过程序。RISE学生将在每年春季被录取，并将在入学后的夏季开始他们的实验室研究体验。每个队列将参加CSUDH的写作研讨会和LABioMed提供的负责任的研究行为课程。此后，学生可以选择参加生物信息学或心理学研讨会，这取决于他们的具体学科。学生还将参加GRE研讨会，职业研讨会和其他活动，包括每月一次的RISE学生会议。这些活动的总和将发展他们作为科学家的潜力以及他们的学术和考试技能。RISE学生将有机会结识成功的少数民族科学家，并了解他们获得博士学位后可获得的大量职业道路。与我们目前的计划相比，我们希望我们提出的一系列活动能够增加在学术期刊上发表论文并进入博士学位的RISE学生的数量。从CSUDH毕业后的课程。此外，我们的RISE计划将为在多明格斯山加州州立大学从事研究的所有学生和教师提供支持性研究环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the MBRS programs at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) is to infuse a research culture into the science departments at CSUDH thereby making biomedical research, and research in general, an important component of student, faculty and institutional development. The goals and objectives of our RISE program align with those of the national MBRS program and are structured to increase student interest, skills and competitiveness in the pursuit of biomedical research careers. Our Student Development Plan consists of a state-of-the-art research experience, workshops, seminars and other activities to develop RISE students as scientists and facilitate their entrance into Ph.D. programs. We have designed our program to serve 20 undergraduate students from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics and psychology and have kept the number of RISE students small so we can provide academic counseling and closely monitor their progress through the program. RISE students will be admitted as cohorts each spring and will begin their laboratory research experience the summer after they are admitted. Each cohort will participate in the writing workshop at CSUDH and Responsible Conduct of Research course offered at LABioMed. Thereafter, the students may elect to attend the Bioinformatics or Psychology workshops depending on their specific discipline. Students will also participate in a GRE workshop, career workshops and other activities including a monthly RISE student meeting. The sum of these activities will develop their potential as scientists as well as their academic and test-taking skills. RISE students will have the opportunity to meet successful minority scientists and learn of the vast array of career paths available to them after they attain their Ph.D. Compared to our present program we expect our proposed set of activities to increase the number of RISE students who publish their work in scholarly journals and enter Ph.D. programs after graduation from CSUDH. In addition, our RISE program will contribute significantly to development of a supportive research environment for all students and faculty engaged in research at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
