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）：科罗拉多州立大学圣马科斯 RISE 计划将增加继续从事生物医学科学研究的少数族裔学生的数量。我们的主要可衡量目标是让 75% 的 RISE 学者进入研究生院。我们从 Pre-RISE 计划开始，其目标只有一个，即增加符合 RISE 计划资格的代表性不足的本科科学专业的人才库。我们遵循本科生 RISE 计划，该计划有五个目标： 1) 选择有成功前景的 RISE 学者； 2）提高学业成绩； 3）增强沟通技巧； 4）参与生物医学研究； 5) 申请研究生院。 16 名本科 RISE 学者 (URS) 将参加该计划——其中 8 名大三学生和 8 名大四学生——全部按照严格的标准进行选择和保留。 URS 将参加一系列旨在提高其进入著名研究生院的竞争力的活动。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、研究研讨会以及监督原创性研究以发表科学出版物。我们的学生将培养批判性思维、解决问题、写作和口头交流、领导力和团队合作方面的强大技能。最后，URS 将作为一个群体参加一系列活动，旨在将他们送入研究生院并跟踪他们研究生学位的完成情况。研究生 RISE 计划有四个目标： 1) 招募和选拔研究生 RISE 学者； 2）参与研究生生物医学研究； 3）保留RISE研究生学者； 4) 申请研究生院。每年有六名 RISE 研究生学者 (GRS) 参加。 GRS 将参与一系列与 URS 所描述的活动类似的活动，并且他们将承担作为 URS 的导师和榜样的额外责任。我们与多家研究生机构建立的良好联系将有助于 URS 和 GRS 进入研究生院。我们还将参与机构发展活动，倡导校园采用并资助成功的 RISE 活动。我们的评估计划为每个项目目标提供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 年间毕业的学者，74%（URS 和 GRS）继续读研究生。国家RISE计划的目标与CSUSM战略计划完美契合。地区少数族裔人口的增长、校园对多样性的承诺、当前 RISE 计划的成功、支持性的师资力量、拟定项目主任的丰富经验、现有的 MBRS SCORE 教职人员补助金、MARC 和桥梁计划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 计划的理想场所。
