U-RISE at California State University San Marcos

项目摘要 作为一个年轻的，迅速发展的校园在北圣地亚哥县，加州州立大学圣马科斯 （CSUSM）处于有利地位，为来自代表性不足（UR）群体的积极学生准备研究生 学习和研究生涯。CSUSM学生的很大一部分是西班牙裔（47%），这超过了 非西班牙裔白色人口（26%）。校园既是一个西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）和亚洲 美洲、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民服务机构。此外，54%来自 他们将是第一个完成大学学位的家庭，48%的家庭是佩尔助学金的获得者。因此，在本发明中， CSUSM是一个快速增长的多元化学生团体的所在地，其中许多人是低收入和/或第一次在 让家人上大学 我们专门开发了我们的计划，以满足CSUSM学生群体的需求。的 该计划将使用循证实践来实现以下8个目标：1）准备，招募和 选择U-RISE学者谁表现出显着的成功承诺; 2）以确保强大的学术表现; 3)提高定量和方法技能; 4）提高科学沟通技能; 5） 使学生参与生物医学研究; 6）发展成功所需的知识，技能和毅力 在博士课程及以后; 7）让学生接触到文化验证的教学法，以增加 归属感和持久性;和8）准备研究生院的竞争性申请。一个顶点项目， 准备研究生奖学金申请书将利用学者们学到的许多技能。的 该计划为期两年。我们建议在该计划的第一年招收20名本科生， 在第二年，第三至五年有24人。 我们的主要目标，根据过去的成功率，是90%的CSUSM U-RISE学者进入 生物医学和行为科学的博士课程，65%进入博士课程。从整体上看， 在CSUSM计划的U-RISE，与一个高度支持的校园环境，将准备学生 从我们的团体成为有思想的科学家谁拥有的知识，技能，研究经验和性格 为他们在生物医学和行为科学领域的博士研究做好准备， 成为未来科学和学术界的领导者。通过这样做，我们将有助于推进国家的目标， 卫生研究所的研究人员多样化。更多样化的研究队伍将更好地解决 这是一个多样化国家的研究需求，从而有助于改善所有人的健康。

PROJECT SUMMARY As a young, rapidly growing campus in North San Diego County, California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) is well-positioned to prepare motivated students from underrepresented (UR) groups for graduate studies and research careers. A large proportion of CSUSM students is Hispanic (47%), which exceeds the non-Hispanic White population (26%). The campus is both a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI). In addition, 54% are from families in which they will be the first to complete a college degree and 48% are Pell Grant recipients. Thus, CSUSM is home to a rapidly growing diverse student body, many of whom are low income and/or the first in their family to attend college. We’ve specifically developed our program to meet the needs of the student population at CSUSM. The program will use evidence-based practices to achieve the following 8 objectives: 1) to prepare, recruit and select U-RISE scholars who show significant promise for success; 2) to assure strong academic performance; 3) to enhance quantitative and methodological skills; 4) to enhance scientific communication skills; 5) to engage students in biomedical research; 6) to develop knowledge, skills and persistence necessary to succeed in a doctoral program and beyond; 7) to expose students to a culturally validated pedagogy to increase belonging and persistence; and 8) to prepare competitive applications for graduate school. A capstone project, to prepare a graduate research fellowship proposal will utilize many of the skills learned by the scholars. The program is two years in length. We propose to engage 20 undergraduate students in year 1 of the program, 22 in year 2, and 24 in years 3-5. Our major goals, informed by past success rates, are for 90% of CSUSM U-RISE Scholars to enter the PhD pathway in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, and 65% to enter PhD programs. Taken as a whole, the U-RISE at CSUSM Program, in concert with a highly supportive campus environment, will prepare students from UR groups to be thoughtful scientists who have the knowledge, skills, research experience and character that prepare them for doctoral studies in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and that allow them to become future leaders in science and academia. By doing this we will help advance the goals of the National Institutes of Health to diversify the research workforce. A more diverse research workforce will better address the research needs of a diverse nation and thereby contribute to better health for all.
