Integration of Biomedical Research into Education of Future PhD Candidates

描述（由申请人提供）：加州理工学院波莫纳上升（科学增强研究倡议）的长期目标是增加谁完成博士学位的代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量。生物医学和行为科学学位课程。加州理工大学波莫纳分校招收了大量代表性不足的少数民族学生。该计划的参与者将体验研究作为其学习和教学环境的一个组成部分，因此，他们将确定自己是科学研究界的成员。为了实现这一目标，我们开发了一个综合的研讨会和研究经验计划，学生可以学习如何在学术上取得成功，并获得成为一名成功的研究科学家所需的实验室技能和知识基础。一名专业评估人员密切参与了提案的制定和编写，以确保在整个计划过程中整合适当的评估和评估工具。该计划分为三个部分：邀请学生，密集-本科为大三和大四学生和密集-研究生为MS学生。为了实现该计划的目标，已经确定了三个目标，并将其纳入不同的发展水平：1）学术支持，这将侧重于培养学生在考试，学习和沟通（口头，书面）方面的学术技能，以便他们能够保持博士学位所需的累积和科学GPA。方案验收; 2）研究沉浸和实验室技能发展，包括通过让学生在生产研究实验室与Cal Poly Pomona或邻近的R1机构的教师研究导师一起从事自己的研究项目来介绍和沉浸在科学研究中的活动;及3）专业发展，透过提供广阔背景的活动，让参与者获得个人知识及实践-根据与博士学位相关的一般绩效预期的经验，包括期刊俱乐部，手稿准备，赠款写作和他们的研究介绍程序。RISE活动将在学生申请几个博士学位时达到高潮。生物医学研究计划，并期望他们接受这些计划。RISE的长期目标是增加进入并完成博士学位的代表性不足的少数民族毕业生的数量。生物医学研究的项目。为了实现这一目标，我们设计了一个计划，让大学生，大三学生，大四学生和硕士学位的学生研讨会和研究经验，强调将生物医学研究融入他们的学习经验的重要性。通过专注于提供学术支持，研究沉浸和实验室技能发展以及专业发展的活动，学生将逐步接受博士学位。生物医学研究计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-range goal of the Cal Poly Pomona RISE (Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement) is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students who complete Ph.D. degree programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Cal Poly Pomona enrolls a substantial number of underrepresented minority students. The participants of this program will experience research as an integral part of their learning and teaching environment, and as a result, they will identify themselves as members of the scientific research community. To achieve this goal, we have developed an integrated program of workshops and research experiences in which a student can learn how to be successful academically and to acquire the laboratory skills and knowledge base needed to become a successful research scientist. A professional evaluator has been intimately involved in the development and writing of the proposal to insure integration of the appropriate evaluation and assessment tools throughout the course of the program. This program is divided into three parts: Invitation for sophomores, Intensive-Undergraduate for juniors and seniors and Intensive- Graduate for MS students. To achieve the program goal, three objectives have been identified and incorporated into the different developmental levels: 1) Academic Support, which will focus on developing the students' academic skills in the areas of test-taking, studying, and communication (oral, written) so that they are able to maintain the cumulative and science GPAs necessary for Ph.D. program acceptance; 2) Research Immersion and Laboratory Skill Development which includes activities to both introduce and immerse students in scientific research by having them work on their own research project in a productive research laboratory with a faculty research mentor at Cal Poly Pomona or a neighboring R1 institution; and 3) Professional Development through activities which provide a broad context from which participants gain personal knowledge of and hands-on experience with the general performance expectations associated with Ph.D. programs including journal clubs, manuscript preparation, grant-writing, and presentation of their research. The RISE activities will culminate in the students applying to several Ph.D. biomedical research programs with the expectation of their acceptance into these programs. The long-range goal of the RISE (Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement) is to increase the number of underrepresented minority graduates who enter and complete Ph.D. programs in biomedical research. To achieve this, we have designed a program to give sophomores, juniors, seniors and Master's degrees students workshop and research experiences which emphasize the importance of integrating biomedical research into their learning experience. By focusing on activities which provide academic support, research immersion and laboratory skill development, and professional development, the students will progress toward acceptance into a Ph.D. biomedical research program.
