CSULB Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement 2015-20

 描述（由申请人提供）：该提案建立在加州州立大学，长滩的历史承诺，培养生物医学和行为研究科学家的多元化社区的势头。它利用大学成功的MSD，MBRS，COR，MARC和RISE计划的最佳实践，越来越多的关于代表性不足（UR）和服务不足社区的科学家发展的文献，以及大学范围内的自我评估来设计活动计划。该CSULB RISE计划的目标是：1）增加在生物医学和行为科学领域完成学位课程的代表性不足的学生（URS）的数量; 2）建立一个研究培训课程，提供生物医学和行为研究人员所需的技能;第三章创造一个环境，使参与者离开该计划完全沉浸在生物医学和行为研究的文化和道德实践中专业人士; 4）增加成功完成生物医学和行为科学领域博士课程的URS数量。为了实现这些目标，拟议的RISE计划将包括八种主要类型的活动，这些活动旨在吸引来自服务不足社区的学生，帮助支持和加强他们作为科学家的身份，并提供一个逐步严格的教育环境，促进批判性，分析性，定量性，创造性思维和研究技能，为参与者成功竞争博士学位做好准备。在生物医学和行为领域的方案：（1）外展招募代表性不足的学生进入生物医学和行为科学研究，并进入上升计划和其他学生发展计划;（2）培训和支持，使低年级学生进入定向研究，导致独立研究和进入博士研究;（3）学生在整个本科课程中进行实践职业探索，重点是生物医学和行为职业机会和途径;（4）一系列课程和讲习班，旨在培训参与者成为伦理科学家，发展关键的学术和劳动力技能，并为参与者成功进入研究生学习做好准备;（5）在生物医学和行为研究学院成员的指导下进行密集的实验室研究;（6）在校园和区域博士授予机构进行与生物医学相关的影子和研究奖学金;（7）在离开CSULB后的头两年指导被录取的RISE研究员，因为他们过渡到成功的博士研究，和（8）一个持续的学习社区，促进知识和专业成长，并在现任和前任RISE参与者之间进行交流。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal builds upon the momentum of California's State University, Long Beach's historical commitment to training a diverse community of biomedical and behavioral research scientists. It utilizes best practices from the University's successful MSD, MBRS, COR, MARC, and RISE programs, the growing literature on the development of scientists from underrepresented (UR) and underserved communities, and a university wide self-assessment to design a program of activities. The goals of this CSULB RISE Program are to: 1) increase the number of underrepresented students (URS) completing degree studies in biomedical and behavioral science fields; 2) establish a research training curriculum that provides the skills needed by biomedical and behavioral researchers; 3) create an environment in which participants leave the program fully steeped in the culture and ethical practice of biomedical and behavioral research professionals; 4) increase the number of URS who successfully complete doctoral programs in biomedical and behavioral science fields. To accomplish these goals, the proposed RISE program will include eight major types of activities collectively designed to attract students from underserved communities and help support and strengthen their identity as scientists, and to provide a progressively rigorous educational environment that promotes critical, analytical, quantitative, creative thinking, and research skills that prepare participants to successfully compete in Ph.D. programs in biomedical and behavioral fields: (1) outreach to recruit underrepresented students into biomedical and behavioral sciences research and into the RISE program and other student development programs; (2) training and support to enable lower division students to enter into directed research, leading to independent research and entry into PhD study; (3) hands-on career exploration by students throughout their undergraduate program that focuses on biomedical and behavioral career opportunities and pathways; (4) a series of courses and workshops designed to train participants as ethical scientists, develop key academic and workforce skills, and prepare participants to successfully enter graduate study; (5) intensive laboratory research experiences under the mentorship of biomedical and behavioral faculty research faculty members; (6) biomedical-related shadow and research fellowship experiences on campus and at regional doctoral- granting institutions; (7) mentoring of matriculated RISE Fellows in their first two years after leaving CSULB as they transition to successful PhD studies, and (8) an on-going learning community which facilitates knowledge and professional growth and exchange between current and former RISE participants.
