Project Summary/Abstract The U-RISE program at Cal State Fullerton proposes to support 10 undergraduate students every year who come from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds. Majoring in a STEM field, the program will prepare the U-RISE scholars for graduate school and a career in biomedical science. The specific goals are to: 1) recruit, select, and retain a diverse group of well-qualified undergraduates; 2) provide scholars with hands-on research experience and develop their research skills; 3) mentor and educate the scholars on the importance of responsible conduct of research and scientific rigor; 4) cultivate the scholars’ academic and communication skills; 5) prepare, help, and advise the scholars on their application to summer research programs and PhD or MD- PhD programs; and 6) build a strong mentoring community by recruiting and training a diverse and committed group of mentors. These goals will be achieved as the scholars participate in cutting-edge research with a faculty mentor for two years, culminating with a presentation and defense of a written thesis. Upon admission to the program, the scholars will participate in a summer workshop to teach them about the responsible conduct of research and scientific rigor and reproducibility. The scholars are expected to excel in several academically challenging courses, including one semester of scientific writing, one semester of scientific communication, and two semesters of senior thesis courses. The scholars will also take four semesters of a pro-seminar course, which focuses on research career and presentation skills development. To measure our short-term progress, we will use specially developed assessment tools, forms, and e-journal entries previously used by the CSUF MARC program. The scholars and mentors will complete assessment forms administered by an external evaluator at the end of each semester on a yearly basis. All U-RISE scholars will be expected to improve or achieve one level higher (on a scale of 1-5) in laboratory performance, research skills, and communication skills. By the end of their two-year participation, the scholars would have shown improvement or high achievement in at least 75% of the measurable objectives. Over the funding period, we aim to place at least 75% of all U-RISE scholars in high-quality doctoral programs. Finally, the U-RISE program will track all graduates by e-mail or phone as they progress towards their advanced degrees and beyond, and will disseminate its accomplishments through an official website, conferences, and publications. Overall, program success will be measured by scholar enrollment and retention in doctoral programs at various US institutions in the short term, and by their eventual entry into biomedical research-related careers in the long term. The U-RISE program will not only contribute to the success of the scholars in their research careers but will have a broader impact on the participating departments, colleges, and the institution as a whole through improved student success, curricular enhancement, and strengthening of the undergraduate research environment.

项目摘要/摘要 Cal State Fullerton的U-Rise计划每年支持10名本科生 来自代表性不足或不利的背景。该计划在STEM领域进行主修，准备 U-Rise研究生院和生物医学科学职业。具体目标是：1）招募， 选择并保留一组良好合格的本科生的潜水员； 2）为学者提供动手研究 体验并发展他们的研究技能； 3）指导和教育学者的重要性 负责任的研究和科学严谨行为； 4）培养学者的学术和沟通技巧； 5）准备，帮助和建议学者就夏季研究计划的申请以及博士或MD- 博士课程； 6）通过招募和培训多样化和承诺来建立一个强大的心理社区 一群导师。当学者与教师一起参与尖端研究时，将实现这些目标 导师已经两年了，最终以书面论文的介绍和辩护。入学后 计划，学者将参加夏季研讨会，以教会他们负责任的行为 研究与科学严格和可重复性。学者有望在多个学术上脱颖而出 具有挑战性的课程，包括一个学期的科学写作，一个学期的科学交流和 高级论文课程的两个学期。学者还将参加一个亲阶级课程的四个学期， 专注于研究职业和演示技巧的发展。为了衡量我们的短期进步，我们 将使用CSUF MARC先前使用的特殊开发的评估工具，表格和e-Journal条目 程序。学者和导师将完成由外部评估管理的评估表 每年的每个学期结束。所有U-Rise学者都将有望改善或取得成就 在实验室绩效，研究技能和沟通技巧方面提高（以1-5的比例）。到最后 在两年的参与中，学者将在至少75％的情况下表现出改善或高成就 可衡量的目标。在整个资金期间，我们的目标是将所有U-Rise学者的至少75％放在 高质量的博士课程。最后，U-Rise计划将通过电子邮件或电话跟踪所有毕业生 朝着高级学位及以后的进步，并将通过一个 官方网站，会议和出版物。总体而言，计划成功将通过科学入学量来衡量 并在短期内在美国各个机构的博士课程中保留，并最终进入 从长远来看，生物医学与研究相关的职业。 U-Rise计划不仅会为成功做出贡献 在他们的研究事业中的学者中，将对参与部门，大学， 以及整个机构通过改善学生的成功，课程增强和加强 本科研究环境。
