DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CSU San Marcos RISE Program will increase the pool of racial and ethnic minority students who go on to pursue research careers in the biomedical sciences. Our Primary Measurable Objective is to place 75% of our RISE Scholars into graduate school. We begin with a Pre- RISE Program with a single goal, to Increase the Pool of Underrepresented Undergraduate Science Majors Eligible for the RISE Program. We follow with our Undergraduate RISE Program, which has five goals: 1) Select RISE Scholars Who Show Promise for Success; 2) Enhance Academic Performance; 3) Enhance Communication Skills; 4) Participate in Biomedical Research; and 5) Apply for Graduate School. Sixteen Undergraduate RISE Scholars (URS) will participate in the program -- 8 juniors and 8 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. These activities include 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 set of activities designed to place them into graduate school and to track completion of their graduate degrees. The Graduate RISE Program has four goals: 1) Recruit and Select Graduate RISE Scholars; 2) Participate in Graduate Biomedical Research; 3) Retention of RISE Graduate Scholars; and 4) Apply for Graduate School. Six Graduate RISE Scholars (GRS) will participate each year. 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 well established connections with several graduate institutions. We also will engage in Institutional Development activities in which we will advocate for campus adoption and funding of successful RISE activities. Our Evaluation Plan provides measurable objectives and assessment criteria for each project goal to monitor project success. Counting scholars who graduated between 2003 and 2009, 74% (URS and GRS) have gone on to graduate school. The national RISE Program's goal and the CSUSM strategic plan are in perfect alignment. The regional minority population growth, the campus commitment to diversity, the success of the current RISE Program, the supportive faculty, the extensive experience of the proposed program director, the existing MBRS SCORE faculty grants, 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 MBRS RISE Program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The education and training of racial and ethnic minority students for professional research careers in the biomedical sciences through the MBRS RISE Program will serve to advance the goal of the NIH. The RISE initiative is designed to assist RISE Scholars earn the credential for admission to PhD programs around the country. These racial and ethnic community members are not represented in the professional research workforce of the nation and as a consequence we lose a significant talent that can make meaningful contributions to the health and quality of life of the country.

描述(由申请者提供)：加州大学圣马科斯分校的Rise计划将增加继续从事生物医学科学研究事业的种族和少数民族学生的人数。我们的主要可衡量目标是让75%的Rise学者进入研究生院学习。我们从一个只有一个目标的Pre-Rise计划开始，增加有资格参加Rise计划的未被充分代表的本科理科专业的人数。我们遵循我们的本科生RISE计划，该计划有五个目标：1)选择有希望取得成功的RISE学者；2)提高学业成绩；3)提高沟通技能；4)参与生物医学研究；5)申请研究生院。16名本科生RISE学者(UR)将参与该计划--8名大三学生和8名大四学生--所有人都是按照严格的标准挑选和保留的。URS将参加一系列旨在使他们在被著名研究生院录取方面具有竞争力的活动。这些活动包括参加由一系列学术支助服务支持的具有挑战性的课程、研究培训、研究研讨会和导致科学出版物的受监督的原创研究。我们的学生将在批判性思维、解决问题、写作和口头沟通、领导力和团队合作方面发展强大的技能。最后，URS将作为一个队列参加一系列旨在将他们送进研究生院并跟踪他们研究生学位完成情况的活动。研究生RISE计划有四个目标：1)招募和选择研究生RISE学者；2)参与研究生生物医学研究；3)留住RISE研究生学者；4)申请研究生院。每年将有六名研究生RISE学者(GRS)参加。GRS将参与一系列类似于为URS描述的活动，他们将承担额外的责任，作为URS的导师和榜样。我们将通过与几个研究生院建立良好的联系，为URS和GRS进入研究生院提供便利。我们还将参与机构发展活动，在这些活动中，我们将倡导校园采用并为成功的RISE活动提供资金。我们的评估计划为每个项目目标提供了可衡量的目标和评估标准，以监测项目的成功。将2003至2009年间毕业的学者计算在内，74%的人(URS和GRS)继续读研究生。国家崛起计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划是完美一致的。地区少数族裔人口的增长、校园对多样性的承诺、当前RISE计划的成功、支持性教师、拟议项目主任的丰富经验、现有的MBRS分数教师拨款、MARC和布里奇斯计划，以及配备现代科学仪器和强大教学资源的新科学大楼，这些都使南加州大学成为成功实施MBRS RISE计划的理想地点。 公共卫生相关性：通过MBRS RISE计划对少数民族和少数民族学生进行生物医学专业研究职业生涯的教育和培训，将有助于推进NIH的目标。RISE计划旨在帮助RISE学者获得全国各地博士项目的录取资格。这些种族和族裔社区成员在国家的专业研究队伍中没有代表，因此，我们失去了一名能够为国家的健康和生活质量做出有意义贡献的重要人才。
