Project Summary/Abstract The California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is one of 23 campuses of the California State University (CSU) system, the largest 4-year public university system in the US. Designated a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) since 2005 and an Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) since 2011, it is committed to effectively serve the socioeconomically diverse urban populations in southern California. It has been highly successful in attracting, retaining and graduating underrepresented and underserved (UR/US) students and provides an ideal environment for identifying and fostering the growth of a diverse group of students who are interested in future academic careers in biomedical research. The mission of the current CSULB Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) (T34) proposal is to increase diversity in future scientific and biomedical research by training undergraduate (UG) students to enter and succeed in graduate programs and beyond. The rationale for the proposed program is that the university has a rich pool of UG students from diverse backgrounds, and a large pool of faculty members conducting high quality research funded by federal and private programs, with UGs as frontline researchers being a brand name for the university. Further, CSULB was recently re-classified as an R2 university with high research activity as per Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education and as a research-active university based on the NIH definition of eligibility tracks for funding of diversity enhancing programs. The university has ~30 years track record of integrating research into education, with students supported through diversity training programs such as the NIH MARC and RISE. The last 5-year record shows ~80% of CSULB MARC and RISE trainees entered graduate programs. More recently the BUILD program further laid the groundwork for UG research work led by faculty members who have been increasingly adopting best mentoring practices by undergoing training as part of Advancing Inclusive Mentoring (AIM) program. Together, these programs inform the current U-RISE proposal of effective mentoring practices for training UR/US students in research. The design of the CSULB U-RISE program involves training 24 UG students (at any given point during the five-year cycle) from diverse backgrounds in research over a two-year period. Scholars with high academic record and research interest and who have two years left to graduation in their academic status (typically in their junior year), and those bearing high potential for research and demonstrating resilience and persistence will be recruited and trained to be competitive and successful in graduate school. The objectives of the program are to offer: i) elevated research-infused academic education, ii) immersive research experience, and iii) graduate school preparation and professional development activities. Key activities that promote skills development include: i) trainees undertaking courses involving directed reading and research, scientific research communication and seminars, graduate level and advanced research methodology courses; ii) trainees participating in authentic intramural research experience with a CSULB faculty mentor during their two years of training and extramural research for ~ 8 weeks during year 2 of their training in a research-intensive PhD-offering environment, and, iii) trainees engaged in various professional development activities to develop soft skills to succeed in graduate school through mandatory weekly learning community meetings on topics such as research careers, resumes and statement of purpose and graduate programs. The intended trainee outcomes are presentations at U-RISE Scholars Committee of faculty members, at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students and at national conferences in their individual discipline, participation in manuscript preparation as co-authors for publication in peer reviewed journals at the discretion of their faculty mentors. A major outcome of this preparation is entering, successfully transitioning into and completing biomedical higher degree graduate programs. Throughout this experience the importance of responsible conduct of research and, rigor and transparency in biomedical research will be emphasized. Taken together, these experiences are expected to infuse social and scientific values, enhance the academic skills, confer research skills, foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills, develop the scholars professionally. The significance of the CSULB U-RISE program lies in its training components that prepares the scholars and trains the mentors in best mentoring practices. The innovative aspect of the program stems from its core practice of collaboration between faculty members who have undergone AIM training, social scientists, administrators, and evaluator to provide UG students training. Their feedback allows the program personnel to attenuate and respond rapidly with thoughtful interventions, and to enable the students to build their scientific identity and to respond to evolving issues and trainee needs. The CSULB U-RISE program will develop the overall intellectual, professional and leadership abilities of participating trainees, with an overall goal of achieving equity, diversity, and inclusiveness in biomedical research careers.

项目摘要/摘要 加利福尼亚州立大学长滩（CSULB）是加利福尼亚州的23个校园之一 大学（CSU）系统，美国最大的4年公立大学系统。指定西班牙裔服务 自2005年以来的机构（HSI）和亚裔美国人，美国原住民和太平洋岛民服务机构 （aanapisi）自2011年以来，它致力于有效地为社会经济多样化的城市人口服务 南加州。它在吸引，保留和毕业的人数不足方面非常成功，并且 服务不足（UR/美国）的学生，并提供了一个理想的环境，以识别和促进A的增长 对生物医学研究未来学术职业感兴趣的多元化学生。 当前CSULB本科研究培训计划的使命 增强（U-Rise）（T34）提案是通过通过 培训本科生（UG）学生进入并成功地参加研究生课程。理由 对于拟议的课程，该大学拥有来自不同背景的UG学生的丰富池，并且 由联邦和私人计划资助的高质量研究的大量教职员工， UGS作为一线研究人员是大学的品牌名称。此外，最近对Csulb进行了重新分类 作为一所R2大学，根据Carnegie的高等教育机构分类，具有较高的研究活动 作为一所研究活性大学，基于NIH的定义，用于资助多样性的资格轨道 增强程序。该大学拥有将研究整合到教育中的30年， 学生通过NIH MARC和RISE等多样性培训计划支持。最后5年 记录显示约80％的CSULB MARC和RISE学员参加了研究生课程。最近 建立计划进一步为UG研究工作奠定了基础 通过接受培训作为推进包容性指导的一部分，越来越多地采用最佳指导实践 （AIM）程序。这些计划共同为当前的U-Rise有效指导实践提出了信息 用于培训UR/美国学生的研究。 CSULB U-RISE计划的设计涉及培训24名UG学生（在任何给定点 五年周期）来自两年的研究背景。学者学者很高 记录和研究兴趣，并且在其学术地位还剩两年的时间（通常 他们的大三）以及那些具有很高潜力并证明韧性和持久性的人 将接受招募和培训，以在研究生院获得竞争力和成功。目标的目标 计划提供：i）提高研究注入研究的学术教育，ii）沉浸式研究经验和 iii）研究生院的准备和专业发展活动。 促进技能发展的关键活动包括：i）学员参加涉及的课程 指导阅读和研究，科学研究和研讨会，研究生水平和高级 研究方法论课程； ii）参加真实壁内研究经验的学员 CSULB教师在他们的两年培训和校外研究中，在第2年的第2年大约8周 他们在研究密集的博士学位环境中的培训，以及从事各种学员 专业发展活动以发展软技能，通过强制性地在研究生院取得成功 每周学习有关研究职业，简历和目的声明等主题的社区会议 和研究生课程。预期的学员成果是在U-Rise学者委员会的演讲 教职员工，在年度生物医学研究会议上针对少数族裔学生和国家 在他们的个人学科中会议，参加手稿准备，作为合着者出版 同行由他们的教师导师酌情审查期刊。这项准备的主要结果是 进入，成功地过渡到生物医学高级研究生课程。 在整个经验中，负责任的研究以及严格和透明度的重要性 将强调生物医学研究。 综上所述，这些经验有望注入社会和科学价值，增强 学术技能，会议技巧，培养批判性思维和解决问题的技能，发展学者 专业。 CSULB U-RISE计划的重要性在于其准备的培训组件 学者和培训导师的最佳指导实践。该计划的创新方面源于 从接受过AIM培训的教职员工之间的合作核心实践。 科学家，管理员和评估人员为UG学生提供培训。他们的反馈允许该程序 人员衰减和迅速做出深思熟虑的干预措施，使学生能够建立 他们的科学身份并应对不断发展的问题和受训者的需求。 CSULB U-RISE计划将 发展参与学员的整体智力，专业和领导能力，总体 在生物医学研究职业中实现公平，多样性和包容性的目标。
