U-RISE at California State University San Marcos

项目总结 作为北圣地亚哥县一所年轻、快速发展的校园，加州州立大学圣马科斯分校 (CSUSM)处于有利地位，可以让来自代表不足(UR)群体的有积极性的学生为毕业生做准备 学习和研究事业。CSUSM学生中很大一部分是西班牙裔(47%)，这一比例超过了 非西班牙裔白人人口(26%)。该校园既是西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)，也是亚洲人 美洲、美洲土著和太平洋岛民服务机构(AANAPISI)。此外，54%的人来自 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获得者。因此， 南加州州立大学是快速增长的多样化学生群体的家园，他们中的许多人都是低收入和/或第一个 他们的家人去上大学。 我们专门开发了我们的项目，以满足CSUSM的学生群体的需求。这个 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 选择有希望取得成功的U-Rise学者；2)确保优秀的学业成绩； 3)提高数量和方法技能；4)提高科学沟通能力；5)提高 让学生参与生物医学研究；6)培养成功所必需的知识、技能和毅力 在博士课程及以后；7)让学生接触到经过文化验证的教学方法，以增加 归属感和坚持不懈；以及8)准备研究生院的竞争性申请。一个顶峰项目， 准备研究生研究奖学金提案将利用学者们所学到的许多技能。这个 该计划为期两年。我们计划在该项目的第一年招收20名本科生。 在2年级，在3-5年级是24。 根据过去的成功率，我们的主要目标是让90%的CSUSM U-Rise学者进入 生物医学和行为科学的博士学位，65%的人进入博士课程。作为一个整体， CSUSM的U-Rise项目与高度支持的校园环境相结合，将为学生做好准备 来自UR小组，成为有知识、技能、研究经验和性格的有思想的科学家 为他们在生物医学和行为科学方面的博士学习做准备，并使他们能够 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 卫生研究所，以使研究人员多样化。更多元化的研究队伍将更好地解决 这项研究满足了多样化国家的需要，从而有助于增进所有人的健康。

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.
