The overall goal of the MORE Division for MBRS programs and the Brooklyn College RISE program is to increase the numbers of underrepresented faculty and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research and to broaden the opportunities for these individuals to participate in biomedical and behavioral research through the provision of integrated developmental activities to increase knowledge, skills and information as students move from undergraduate status into doctoral programs. Diversification of the science workforce is an important national public health goal. Our RISE program proposes to improve on our earlier positive impacts on undergraduate URM success by extending efforts to assist RISE students develop strong academic knowledge and skills and motivation to enter science careers through a series of linked developmental activities and milestones. In response to a needs analysis and program evaluation, a plan for extending undergraduate activities and introducing doctoral students to the program is proposed. The key activities for the undergraduate component of the program are a comprehensive 6-week prefreshman summer program concentrating on orientation to the demands of college-level work in the sciences, introduction to peer-assisted methods to improve academic outcomes in a for-credit precalculus class, and a variety of workshops to help students adjust to college , develop skills in communication, information and computer literacy, and begin to be exposed to information about research careers, and above all, improve academic outcomes compared with control subjects. Many of these activities continue in a tightly integrated Learning Community and academic support throughout the 4 years of college. Students will begin to work in faculty labs to develop information about research and research careers, and will be encouraged to get external summer research experience. They will also will be exposed in a series of workshops to information on responsible conduct of research. Work on preparing for graduate school and standardized tests in support of successful applications to graduate school is also part of the program. The graduate component includes admission of a new cohort of RISE doctoral students, academic support, and excellent research training to allow them to progress successfully and without delay to completion of the doctoral degree and movement into post-doctoral and research scientist positions after graduation.

MBRS计划和布鲁克林学院RISE计划的MORE部门的总体目标是 增加从事生物医学和行为医学的教师和学生人数， 研究，并扩大这些人参与生物医学和行为医学的机会， 通过提供综合发展活动，提高知识、技能和 学生从本科阶段进入博士阶段时的信息。多样化 科学劳动力是一个重要的国家公共卫生目标。我们的RISE计划旨在改善 我们早期的积极影响，本科URM的成功，扩大努力，以帮助上升的学生 发展强大的学术知识和技能，并通过一系列的动机进入科学事业 联系发展活动和里程碑。根据需求分析和方案评估， 提出了扩大本科生活动和引进博士生的计划。 该计划的本科部分的关键活动是一个全面的6周 大一前的暑期课程，集中在定位的要求，大学水平的工作， 科学，介绍了同行协助的方法，以提高学术成果，在一个学分前微积分 类，和各种讲习班，以帮助学生适应大学，发展沟通技巧， 信息和计算机知识，并开始接触有关研究职业的信息， 最重要的是，与对照组相比，提高了学习成绩。其中许多活动继续在 一个紧密结合的学习社区和学术支持在整个4年的大学。学生 将开始在教师实验室工作，开发有关研究和研究职业的信息，并将 鼓励获得外部夏季研究经验。他们也将在一系列的 通过讲习班了解负责任地开展研究的信息。为研究生院做准备， 支持成功申请研究生院的标准化考试也是该方案的一部分。的 研究生部分包括录取一批新的RISE博士生，学术支持， 优秀的研究培训，使他们能够成功地进步，毫不拖延地完成 博士学位，毕业后进入博士后和研究科学家职位。
