DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Located on the south-side of Chicago, Chicago State University (CSU) is a public liberal arts institution with a predominantly African-American student body. CSU serves the highest proportion of black students of all public universities in the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa-Wisconsin contiguous four-state region where it awards the largest number of baccalaureate degree to this population. As an urban comprehensive university, CSU faces both the opportunity and the challenge of educating students who are mostly raised and educated within a ten-mile radius of the campus and are products of both an economically- disadvantaged background and high-school education which has not prepared them for college-level work. The CSU MBRS RISE Program is a response to the NIH initiative to increase the numbers of under-represented minorities in leadership positions in the biomedical sciences. The Program consists of hierarchical undergraduate training activities within the departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Physics that will prepare students for PhD-level studies and biomedical research careers. By the completion of the program students will have: (i) had several real research experiences, (ii) written, defended and executed a hypothesis-driven research plan, (iii) prepared and delivered at least one presentation at a regional or national research conference, (iv) participated in a grant application review panel, (v) completed at least an academic semester of service as a peer teacher in entry-level courses in their discipline which will provide training and perspective for their future role as TAs in graduate school, and (vi) developed competitive applications for graduate programs. The quantitative goal of the program is to achieve a minimum of seven students per year admitted to graduate programs (Ph.D. or PhD-bridge) during each of the first three years of funding and to increase this annual productivity by the fourth. The qualitative goals are to (i) increase student awareness of careers in biomedical research (ii) provide students with hands-on research experiences, (iii) assist students to develop competitive graduate-school applications, and (iv) provide support for a community of research scholars in the participating departments. The CSU RISE Program, along with the SCORE Program and other externally-funded research programs are designed in concert to provide expanded resources for students to train for biomedical research careers. The funding of the RISE Program will accelerate the realization of the institutional goal of becoming a major focal point of opportunities for under-represented minorities in biomedical training in the Chicago metropolitan area.

描述(由申请者提供)：芝加哥州立大学(CSU)位于芝加哥南部，是一所公立文科院校，学生主要是非洲裔美国人。在伊利诺伊州-印第安纳州-爱荷华州-威斯康星州毗邻的四个州地区，CSU为所有公立大学的黑人学生提供最高比例的服务，在那里它向这些人口授予最多的学士学位。作为一所城市综合性大学，CSU既面临着培养学生的机遇也面临着挑战，这些学生大多是在校园半径十英里范围内长大和接受教育的，他们既有经济困难的背景，又有高中教育，还没有为大学水平的工作做好准备。CSU MBRS Rise计划是对NIH倡议的回应，该倡议旨在增加生物医学科学领导职位上代表性不足的少数族裔的数量。该计划包括生物科学、化学和物理系内的分级本科培训活动，为学生进行博士水平的学习和生物医学研究职业生涯做准备。通过完成项目，学生将拥有：(I)有几个真实的研究经验，(Ii)编写、辩护和执行假设驱动的研究计划，(Iii)准备并在地区或国家研究会议上发表至少一次演讲，(Iv)参加拨款申请审查小组，(V)完成至少一个学期的同业教师服务，在其学科的入门课程中担任同行教师，这将为他们未来在研究生院担任助教提供培训和前景，以及(Vi)开发具有竞争力的研究生课程申请。该计划的量化目标是在资助的头三年中，每年至少有七名学生进入研究生课程(博士或博士桥)，并将这一年生产率提高第四年。质的目标是：(I)提高学生对生物医学研究职业的认识；(Ii)为学生提供实践研究经验；(Iii)帮助学生开发竞争性的研究生院应用程序；以及(Iv)为参与部门的研究学者社区提供支持。CSU Rise计划、SCORE计划和其他外部资助的研究计划旨在为学生提供更多的资源，为他们的生物医学研究职业生涯提供培训。RISE计划的资金将加速实现机构目标，即成为芝加哥大都会地区代表不足的少数族裔在生物医学培训中机会的主要焦点。 公共卫生相关性：芝加哥州立大学(CSU)位于芝加哥南部，是一所公共文科院校，学生主要是非洲裔美国人。CSU MBRS Rise计划是对NIH倡议的回应，该倡议旨在增加生物医学科学领导职位上代表性不足的少数族裔的数量。该计划包括生物科学、化学和物理系内的分级本科培训活动，为学生进行博士水平的学习和生物医学研究职业生涯做准备。通过完成项目，学生将拥有：(I)有几个真实的研究经验，(Ii)编写、辩护和执行假设驱动的研究计划，(Iii)准备并在地区或国家研究会议上发表至少一次演讲，(Iv)参加拨款申请审查小组，(V)完成至少一个学期的同业教师服务，在其学科的入门课程中担任同行教师，这将为他们未来在研究生院担任助教提供培训和前景，以及(Vi)开发具有竞争力的研究生课程申请。该计划的量化目标是在资助的头三年中，每年至少有七名学生进入研究生课程(博士或博士桥)，并将这一年生产率提高第四年。质的目标是：(I)提高学生对生物医学研究职业的认识；(Ii)为学生提供实践研究经验；(Iii)帮助学生开发竞争性的研究生院应用程序；以及(Iv)为参与部门的研究学者社区提供支持。
