Sacramento State RISE Program

摘要/摘要 加州州立大学萨克拉门托分校提出的Rise计划的目标是 提供研究培训和相关活动，以增加团体学生的数量 在生物医学科学领域的代表性不足(“UR学生”)，他们成功地完成了研究生学业 生物医学相关研究领域的学位(硕士和博士)和/或进入生物医学职业 相关研究。我们将在生物系识别和培养UR学生 有能力并渴望获得研究生学位或希望获得研究生学位的理科和化学专业 进入与生物医学相关的研究大军。为了达到这一目标，我们将扩大 这些学生可获得的研究经验的数量，并整合研究 把我们学院的教育项目变成一个有凝聚力的项目。 我们将邀请在第一学期至少获得“B”的UR学生的申请 普通化学(CHEM 1A)，但没有修过高级主修课，并有 平均绩点至少3.0分。我们将挑选24名学生参加一场《科学导论》 研究“暑期项目，在这个项目中，学生们将在 教师导师的指导。接下来的秋天，学生们继续对研究感兴趣 Careers将参加两个研究培训研讨会，展示他们的研究结果 生物科学和化学学院的项目，并因此被介绍给潜在的 研究导师。在春季，我们将从这个学生池中挑选六名优秀的学生 和其他已经参与研究的人成为RISE实习生。Rise实习生将被录用 作为来自萨克拉门托州立大学和大学的本科生研究人员 加州大学戴维斯分校(UCD)在接下来的3到3.5年里。未被选中的参与者将是 针对萨克拉门托州立大学的其他研究机会和外部夏季研究 经历。 萨克拉门托州RISE方案还将提供RISE学员和其他 具有研究培训课程的本科生研究人员(研究完整性，导论 本科研究和高级研究研讨会)，并优先注册。 此外，学生将在创建和调整职业路线图时得到指导 使他们能够驾驭自己的研究事业。此外，这一计划将被整合 随着萨克拉门托州立大学和加州大学的其他研究培训计划已经到位，因此 覆盖了更广泛的学生群体。

Summary/Abstract The goal of the proposed RISE Program at California State University, Sacramento is to provide research training and related activities to increase the number of students from groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (“UR students”) who successfully pursue graduate degrees (MS and PhD) in biomedical-related research fields and/or enter careers in biomedical related research. We will identify and cultivate UR students in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry who have the talent and desire to earn graduate degrees or wish to enter the workforce in biomedical-related research. To achieve this goal, we will expand the number of research experiences available to these students and to integrate the research education programs in our college into a cohesive program. We will invite applications from UR students who earned at least a “B” in their first semester of general chemistry (CHEM 1A) but have not taken upper division major courses, and have GPAs of at least 3.0. We will select 24 students to participate in an “Introduction to Science Research” Summer Program, where the students will work on a “mini-research” project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The following fall, students with continued interest in research careers will participate in two research-training workshops, present the results of their research project to Biological Sciences and Chemistry faculty, and thus be introduced to potential research mentors. In the spring, we will select six outstanding students from this student pool and others already involved in research to become RISE Trainees. Rise Trainees will be hired as undergraduate researchers with selected faculty from Sacramento State and the University of California, Davis (UCD) for the next 3 to 3.5 years. Participants who are not selected will be directed to other research opportunities at Sacramento State and external summer research experiences. The Sacramento State RISE Program will also provide RISE Trainees and other undergraduate researchers with research training courses (Research Integrity, Introduction to Undergraduate Research, and Senior Research Seminar) and with priority registration. Additionally, students will be guided as they create and adjust a “Career Road Map” that will empower them to steer their own research career. Furthermore, this program will be integrated with other research training programs already in place at Sacramento State and UCD so that it reaches a broader population of students.
