DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the MBRS-RISE program is to increase the interest, skills, and competitiveness of students and faculty in pursuit of biomedical research careers. The goal of our proposed RISE program is to increase significantly the number of minority students pursuing biomedical careers by involving them in a number of curricular, research and co-curricular activities. SFSU enrolls large numbers of underrepresented minority students, with strong enrollment in each major ethnic category, and has an outstanding record of awarding significant numbers of baccalaureate and masters degrees to minority students. A significant number have gone on to enter biomedical research at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral level. While many earn PhD degrees, others enter medical, dental, and veterinary schools and later participate in clinical research. San Francisco State University (SFSU) has a proven commitment to preparing under represented students for PhD programs and biomedical careers and has developed a number of federally funded minority enhancement programs in the biomedical sciences. We have identified and addressed a number of barriers, which these undergraduate and graduate minority students face in meeting their goals for a future in the biomedical sciences. Continued funding of the MBRS RISE program at SFSU will allow us, in combination with our other funded programs (e.g. MARC, MS/PhD Bridge, SCORE, RIMI, SFSU/UCSF Cancer Center Collaborative), to provide the type of infrastructure and activities necessary to help significant numbers of students overcome these barriers. A set of well-defined and logically ordered activities has been developed to meet the specific needs of students at various stages of their careers (upper-division research-active and master's degree students). Each activity addresses the following needs: 1) achievement of academic program, 2) academic performance, 3) development of scientific and research skills and abilities, 4) preparation for acceptance to a PhD program. The outcomes of these activities will be critically evaluated by SageFox Associates and reasonable adjustments will be made during the term of the grant to assure that our goals and objectives are met. A review of the summative evaluations for the last 4 years of our current RISE grant, which are provided in the Progress Report, indicates our efforts have been very successful. We also have been successful in preparing SFSU students to continue beyond the bachelor's level to enter graduate biomedical careers. Over the past 4 years, 52 RISE students have entered PhD programs and 42 have been awarded biomedical PhD degrees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The SFSU MBRS RISE program prepares SFSU undergraduates and master's students to continue into biomedical PhD degree programs in route to careers as research scientists. The partnership between the Minority Serving Master's I institution and a pre-eminent PhD granting institution to train SFSU MS students addresses workforce needs to prepare researchers to address health disparity issues.

描述(由申请人提供)：MBRS-RISE项目的总体目标是提高学生和教职员工追求生物医学研究职业的兴趣、技能和竞争力。我们建议的RISE计划的目标是通过让少数族裔学生参与一些课程、研究和联合课程活动，显著增加他们从事生物医学职业的人数。西南理工大学招收的少数民族学生数量众多，各主要民族类别招生情况良好，并有向少数民族学生授予大量学士和硕士学位的突出记录。相当多的人进入了学士、硕士和博士级别的生物医学研究。虽然许多人获得了博士学位，但其他人进入了医学、牙科和兽医学校，后来参与了临床研究。旧金山州立大学(SFSU)致力于为有代表性的学生攻读博士课程和生物医学职业生涯做准备，并开发了许多由联邦政府资助的生物医学科学少数族裔增强项目。我们已经确定并解决了一些障碍，这些本科生和研究生在实现他们在生物医学科学领域的未来目标时面临着一些障碍。继续资助旧金山州立大学的MBRS Rise项目将使我们能够与我们的其他资助项目(如MARC、MS/PhD Bridge、SCORE、RIMI、SFSU/UCSF癌症中心合作)相结合，提供必要的基础设施和活动，帮助大量学生克服这些障碍。已经制定了一套定义明确、逻辑有序的活动，以满足学生在其职业生涯的不同阶段(高级研究-活跃学生和硕士学位学生)的具体需求。每项活动满足以下需求：1)完成学术计划，2)学术表现，3)发展科学和研究技能和能力，4)准备进入博士课程。这些活动的结果将由SageFox Associates进行严格的评估，并将在赠款期限内进行合理调整，以确保实现我们的目标和目的。对进度报告中提供的过去4年我们目前的RISE赠款的总结性评估进行的审查表明，我们的努力非常成功。我们还成功地为旧金山州立大学的学生做好了准备，使他们能够在本科毕业后继续进入生物医学研究生的职业生涯。在过去的4年里，52名RISE学生进入了博士课程，42人获得了生物医学博士学位。 公共卫生相关性：南加州大学MBR RISE计划为南加州大学本科生和硕士研究生继续攻读生物医学博士学位课程做准备，以期成为研究科学家。少数族裔在职硕士一级机构和一家卓越的博士授予机构之间的合作伙伴关系，以培训南加州大学硕士研究生，满足了劳动力需求，使研究人员准备好解决健康差距问题。
