CSUSB RISE Program

描述(申请人提供)：加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校(CSUSB)是一所中等规模的综合性大学，校园种族多元化。截至2010年秋季入学，超过53%的学生自认为是代表性不足的少数群体的成员。CSUSB加强研究倡议(RISE)提案的总体目标是增加CSUSB校园中获得生物医学和行为科学博士学位的代表不足(UR)学生的数量。为了实现这一目标，拟议的RISE计划包括三个组成部分：(1)RISE准备计划(RISE-PREP)，旨在增加行为和生物医学专业未被充分代表的本科生的留存率，并增加潜在的RISE本科生的人才库；(2)本科生RISE计划(RISE-UGRAD)，旨在提高申请著名的研究型博士课程的未被充分代表的本科生的竞争力；(3)研究生RISE计划(RISE-GRAD)，旨在提高未被充分代表的硕士学生申请博士学位的竞争力。这些计划中的每一个都将有许多旨在满足每个计划的目标的活动，所有这些活动都有可衡量的目标。我们相信，我们建议的CSUSB Rise项目组成部分将实现MBRS Rise项目的目标，即增加来自生物医学和行为科学领域代表性不足群体的学生数量，他们进入并成功完成这些领域的博士学位课程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) is a medium-sized comprehensive university with a very racially diverse campus. As of the Fall 2010 enrollment, over 53% of the student population self-identified as a member of an underrepresented minority group. The overall goal of the CSUSB Research Initiative for Research Enhancement (RISE) proposal is to increase the number of underrepresented (UR) students from the CSUSB campus that obtain Ph.D. degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences. To achieve this goal, the proposed RISE program has 3 components: (1) The RISE Preparation Program (RISE-PREP) designed to increase the retention of underrepresented undergraduates in behavioral and biomedical science majors and to increase the pool of potential RISE undergraduate participants; (2) The Undergraduate RISE Program (RISE-UGRAD) designed to enhance the competitiveness of underrepresented undergraduate students applying to prestigious research oriented Ph.D. programs; (3) The Graduate RISE Program (RISE-GRAD) designed to enhance the competitiveness of underrepresented Master's students applying to Ph.D. programs. Each of these programs will have a number of activities intended to meet the goals of each program all with measurable objectives. Together, we believe that our proposed CSUSB RISE program components will fulfill the goals of the MBRS RISE Program to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups in biomedical and behavioral sciences who enter and successfully complete Ph.D. degree programs in these fields.
