MBRS RISE at CSU Dominguez Hills

描述（由申请人提供）：上升计划在加州州立大学，多明格斯山的使命，像国家MBRS计划的目标，是增加谁进入并完成博士学位的代表性不足的学生的数量。在生物医学或行为科学和追求研究事业。为了完成我们的使命，我们制定了可衡量的目标和目的，强调参与，能力和连续性的重要性，以实现学生的成功。我们的目标是1）建立RISE学生的学术技能能力，2）建立RISE学生的科研生涯的能力; 3）提供丰富的机会和资源的连续性，以支持RISE学生作为未来的博士的发展。4）确保至少50%的RISE学生进入博士学位。并在10年内完成这些计划。我们的计划将通过提供强化英语和数学课程来加强RISE学生的学术技能，以他们在通识教育中学到的知识为基础。每个学生将在学年和夏季期间被安置在多明格斯山，洛杉矶生物医学或德鲁的生产研究实验室，或者他们可以选择参加其他机构的暑期课程。学生将获得一系列的周末研讨会，以发展他们的演讲和科学阅读技能，并将在准备他们的夏季和研究生院申请提供援助。我们希望这些活动将建立RISE学生的GPA，并为他们提供在学科特定会议上发表和演讲的机会。此外，他们学到的技能将使他们很好地进入他们的研究生课程，并使从本科到研究生机构的过渡显得天衣无缝。所有这些组成部分将确保我们的RISE毕业生中有50%或更多进入顶级博士学位。计划在全国各地，成为生物医学研究人员，以改善我们国家的公民的生活和健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the RISE program at California State University, Dominguez Hills, like the goal of the national MBRS programs, is to increase the number of underrepresented students who enter into and complete the Ph.D. in biomedical or behavioral science and pursue research careers. To accomplish our mission, we have set measurable goals and objectives that stress the importance of engagement, capacity and continuity to achieve student success. Our goals are to 1) build the academic skill capacity of RISE students, 2) build the capacity of RISE students for scientific research careers; 3) provide a continuum of enrichment opportunities and resources to support the development of RISE students as future Ph.D. candidates and 4) insure that at least 50% of RISE students enter Ph.D. programs and complete these programs within 10 years. Our program will strengthen the academic skills of RISE students by providing intensive English and math courses to build on what they learn in general education. Each student will be placed in a productive research laboratory at Dominguez Hills, LA BioMed or Drew during the academic year and summer or they may choose to participate in summer programs at other institutions. Students will receive a series of Weekend Workshops to develop their presentation and scientific reading skills and will be provided assistance in preparing their summer and graduate school applications. We expect that these activities will build the GPA of the RISE students and afford them the opportunity to publish and present at discipline specific meetings. Furthermore, the skills they learn will carry them well into their graduate programs and make the transition from an undergraduate to graduate institution appear seamless. All of these components will insure that 50% or more of our RISE graduates enter into top Ph.D. programs across the Nation and become biomedical researchers to improve the lives and health of our Nation's citizens.
