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计划将增加种族和少数民族学生的人数，他们将继续从事生物医学科学的研究事业。我们的主要可衡量目标是将我们75%的RISE学者送入研究生院。我们开始与一个单一的目标，以增加池的代表性不足的本科科学专业合格的上升计划。我们遵循我们的本科RISE计划，它有五个目标：1）选择RISE学者谁表现出成功的承诺; 2）提高学习成绩; 3）提高沟通技巧; 4）参与生物医学研究;和5）申请研究生院。16名本科生RISE学者（URS）将参加该计划- 8名大三学生和8名大四学生-都是使用严格的标准选择和保留的。URS将参加一系列活动，旨在使他们有竞争力的录取到著名的研究生院。这些活动包括参与一系列学术支持服务，研究培训，研究研讨会和监督原创研究的支持下，具有挑战性的课程，导致科学出版物。我们的学生将培养批判性思维，解决问题，写作和口头沟通，领导力和团队合作的强大技能。最后，URS将作为一个队列参与一系列活动，旨在将他们安置在研究生院，并跟踪他们的研究生学位的完成情况。研究生RISE计划有四个目标：1）招募和选择研究生RISE学者; 2）参与研究生生物医学研究; 3）保留RISE研究生学者;和4）申请研究生院。每年将有六名研究生RISE学者（GRS）参加。GRS将参与一系列类似于URS所述的活动，并将承担URS导师和榜样的额外责任。URS和GRS进入研究生院的安置将通过我们与几个研究生机构建立良好的联系来促进。我们还将参与机构发展活动，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。计算2003年至2009年毕业的学者，74%（URS和GRS）已经进入研究生院。国家RISE计划的目标和CSUSM战略计划完全一致。区域少数民族人口的增长，校园对多样性的承诺，当前RISE计划的成功，支持性的教师，拟议的计划主任的丰富经验，现有的MBRS SCORE教师赠款，MARC和桥梁计划，以及配备现代科学仪器和强大的教学资源的新科学建筑，共同使CSUSM成为经营成功的MBRS RISE计划的理想地点。
