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.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学圣马科斯分校RISE项目将增加从事生物医学科学研究的少数种族和少数民族学生的数量。我们的主要可衡量目标是将75%的RISE学者送入研究生院。我们从一个Pre- RISE计划开始，目标只有一个，即增加有资格参加RISE计划的代表性不足的本科理科专业的学生数量。我们遵循我们的本科崛起计划，它有五个目标：1)选择有成功希望的崛起学者；2)提高学习成绩；3)提高沟通能力；4)参与生物医学研究；5)申请研究生院。16名本科生RISE学者（URS）将参加该项目——8名大三学生和8名大四学生——所有人都是通过严格的标准挑选和保留的。URS将参加一系列活动，以使他们在进入知名研究生院时具有竞争力。这些活动包括参加由一系列学术支持服务支持的具有挑战性的课程，研究培训，研究研讨会，以及导致科学出版物的监督原始研究。我们的学生将培养批判性思维、解决问题、写作和口头沟通、领导能力和团队合作能力。最后，URS将作为一个队列参加一系列旨在将他们送入研究生院并跟踪他们完成研究生学位的活动。研究生崛起计划有四个目标：1)招募和选择研究生崛起学者；2)参与研究生生物医学研究；3)保留RISE研究生；4)申请研究生院。每年将有6名研究生RISE学者（GRS）参加。GRS将参与一系列类似于URS所描述的活动，并承担作为URS导师和榜样的额外责任。我们与一些研究生院建立了良好的联系，将促进URS和GRS进入研究生院。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和资助成功的RISE活动。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，以监控项目的成功。算上2003年至2009年毕业的学者，74% （URS和GRS）继续读研究生。国家RISE计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划是完全一致的。该地区少数民族人口的增长，校园对多样性的承诺，当前RISE项目的成功，支持性教师，拟议项目主任的丰富经验，现有的MBRS SCORE教师补助金，MARC和桥梁项目，以及配备现代科学仪器和强大教学资源的新科学大楼，共同使CSUSM成为成功运营MBRS RISE项目的理想地点。
