项目摘要

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）：CSU SAN MARCOS RISE计划将增加继续从事生物医学科学领域研究职业的种族和少数民族学生的库。我们的主要目标是将75％的崛起学者纳入研究生院。我们从一个具有一个目标的预科计划开始，以增加有资格参加崛起计划的本科生的代表性不足的本科生。我们遵循我们的本科崛起计划，该计划有五个目标：1）精选的崛起学者表现出成功的希望； 2）提高学习成绩； 3）提高沟通技巧； 4）参加生物医学研究； 5）申请研究生院。 16名本科生崛起学者（URS）将参加该计划 - 8名大三和8年级学生 - 全部使用严格的标准选择并保留。 URS将参加一系列活动，旨在使他们有竞争著名的研究生院的竞争力。这些活动包括参加一项具有挑战性的课程，该课程由一系列学术支持服务，研究培训，研究研讨会以及监督的原始研究提供了支持。我们的学生将在批判性思维，解决问题，写作和口头交流，领导和团队合作方面发展强大的技能。最后，URS将作为一组旨在将其纳入研究生并跟踪其研究生学位的活动。研究生崛起计划有四个目标：1）招募和精选研究生崛起学者； 2）参加研究生生物医学研究； 3）保留崛起的研究生学者； 4）申请研究生院。每年将参加六个毕业生崛起学者（GRS）。 GRS将参加类似于URS所描述的活动的一组活动，他们将担任URS的导师和榜样的额外责任。将URS和GRS放置在研究生院的情况下，将通过我们与几个研究生机构建立的联系来促进。我们还将从事机构发展活动，我们将倡导校园采用和成功的崛起活动资金。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，以监视项目成功。在2003年至2009年之间毕业的学者，有74％（URS和GRS）已经上了研究生院。国家崛起计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划处于完美的一致性。区域少数民族人口增长，校园对多样性的承诺，当前崛起计划的成功，支持的教师，拟议计划主任的广泛经验，现有的MBRS分数分数教师赠款，Marc和Bridges计划以及配备了现代科学工具的新科学建筑，并具有现代科学工具和强大的教育资源，使CSUSM成为了CSUSM的理想位置。
