MBRS RISE at Cal State Dominguez Hills

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学多明格斯山分校（CSUDH）的MBRS项目的使命是为CSUDH的科学部门注入研究文化，从而使生物医学研究和一般研究成为学生，教师和机构发展的重要组成部分。我们的RISE计划的目标和目标与国家MBRS计划保持一致，旨在提高学生在追求生物医学研究事业中的兴趣，技能和竞争力。我们的学生发展计划包括最先进的研究经验，研讨会，研讨会和其他活动，以培养RISE学生成为科学家，并促进他们进入博士课程。我们的计划是为来自生物、化学、物理和心理学领域的20名本科生提供服务，并将RISE学生的数量控制在很小的范围内，以便我们可以提供学术咨询并密切关注他们在项目中的进展。RISE学生将于每年春季被录取，并在入学后的夏季开始他们的实验室研究经历。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。之后，学生可以根据自己的专业选择参加生物信息学或心理学研讨会。学生们还将参加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，以及他们的学术和应试技能。RISE的学生将有机会见到成功的少数民族科学家，并在获得博士学位后了解他们可以选择的大量职业道路。与我们目前的项目相比，我们希望我们提出的一系列活动能够增加RISE学生在学术期刊上发表作品并在CSUDH毕业后进入博士课程的人数。此外，我们的RISE项目将为在加州州立大学多明格斯山分校从事研究的所有学生和教师提供一个支持性的研究环境。

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.
