DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS RISE program at the University of Texas at Brownsville will provide educational enrichment, research training and experiential opportunities for predominately Hispanic (93%) undergraduate students in preparation for entrance into Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences. The MBRS-RISE Program at the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC) will continue to support the goals of Healthy People 2010 through planned research strategies and collaboration with the UT System Health Science Centers that specifically address the unique health disparities of this border region. The goals for this MBRS-RISE program are to increase the number of UTB/TSC students applying to and enrolling in Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences, to strengthen biomedical research capacity, and to strengthen institutional research infrastructure in biomedical sciences. Key objectives of this project are designed to enhance student awareness of careers in biomedical research; increase the number of students engaged in biomedical research training; strengthen student preparation for rigor of scientific disciplines; strengthen student preparation for admission to Ph.D. programs; promote collaborations with biomedical scientists from research-intensive institutions; provide UTB faculty with skills to effectively mentor students and promote students into biomedical and/or behavioral science research fields; schedule a program of biomedical research seminars; provide an annual research symposium; and facilitate institutional collaborations with research-intensive institutions. It is anticipated that 18 students will participate in the MBRS-RISE program in year 01, with 16 students in each of years 02-04. It is planned that 50% of MBRS-RISE Scholars will graduate from the program and enter directly into Ph.D. programs in biomedical science. Students will have the opportunity to experience off-campus summer research experiences at research-intensive institutions after completion of their junior year. Under the direction of MBRS-RISE faculty mentors, students will participate in a rigorous program of educational training with hands-on research laboratory experience. Students and faculty mentors will attend and present at professional conferences and seminars that will provide crucial opportunities for exposure to biomedical science research and institutional collaboration. The expanded emphasis on research at UTB/TSC has so influenced the local community that citizens approved the construction of a Science and Technology Learning Center as part of a local bond election. The program will be evaluated annually by an external program consultant, and findings will be presented to the MBRS RISE Program Advisory Committee and MBRS-RISE administration. The MBRS-RISE program at UTB provides educational enrichment, research training, and experiential opportunities for undergraduate students in preparation for entrance into Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences.

描述(由申请人提供)：德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校的MBRS Rise项目将为以西班牙裔为主(93%)的本科生提供教育充实、研究培训和经验机会，为进入生物医学博士项目做准备。德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校和德克萨斯最南端学院(UTB/TSC)的MBRS-RISE项目将通过有计划的研究战略和与德克萨斯大学系统健康科学中心的合作，继续支持2010年健康人的目标，专门解决这一边境地区独特的健康差距。这项MBRS-RISE计划的目标是增加UTB/TSC学生申请和注册生物医学博士项目的数量，加强生物医学研究能力，并加强生物医学科学的机构研究基础设施。该项目的主要目标是提高学生对生物医学研究职业的认识；增加参与生物医学研究培训的学生人数；加强学生为严格的科学学科做好准备；加强学生为博士项目的录取做准备；促进与研究密集型机构的生物医学科学家的合作；为德克萨斯大学的教职员工提供有效指导学生的技能，并促进学生进入生物医学和/或行为科学研究领域；安排生物医学研究研讨会计划；提供年度研究研讨会；以及促进机构与研究密集型机构的合作。 预计01学年将有18名学生参加MBRS-RISE计划，02-04学年每年16名学生。按照计划，50%的MBR-RISE学者将从该项目毕业，直接进入生物医学博士项目。学生完成三年级后，将有机会在研究密集型机构体验校外暑期研究经验。在MBRS-RISE教师导师的指导下，学生将参加一个严格的教育培训计划，并拥有动手研究实验室的经验。学生和教师导师将出席并在专业会议和研讨会上发表演讲，这些会议和研讨会将提供接触生物医学科学研究和机构合作的重要机会。UTB/TSC扩大了对研究的重视，对当地社区产生了如此大的影响，以至于公民批准建造一个科学和技术学习中心，作为地方债券选举的一部分。该计划将由外部计划顾问每年进行评估，评估结果将提交给MBRS RISE计划咨询委员会和MBRS-RISE管理部门。UTB的MBRS-RISE项目为本科生提供丰富的教育、研究培训和体验机会，为进入生物医学博士项目做准备。
