MBRS RISE Program at California State University San Marcos

描述(由申请人提供)：加州州立大学圣马科斯(CSUSM)RISE计划与提高生物医学劳动力多样性的国家目标很好地结合在一起。凭借10多年的经验，我们修订和更新了我们的计划，以实现一系列严格的活动，旨在培养有思想和创造力的科学家，他们不仅拥有在博士研究中取得成功的工具和技能，而且有机会成为各自领域的领导者。作为一个位于圣地亚哥县北部的年轻且快速发展的校园，CSUSM处于有利地位，可以影响越来越多来自代表不足的少数族裔(URM)群体的学生，帮助他们找到研究职业的道路。CSUSM RISE计划由四个关键部分组成：1)Pre-Rise计划，旨在提高人们对生物医学研究职业的认识，并增加符合条件并对本科生Rise计划感兴趣的学生数量。2)本科生RISE计划，该计划包括一系列广泛的活动，旨在增加来自代表不足的少数群体的学生人数，这些学生有竞争力进入生物医学研究生院。3)研究生Rise计划，与我们的本科Rise计划平行，为进入生物医学博士课程的硕士学生做准备。4)制度影响确定了RISE计划的更广泛的好处，特别是该计划如何通过校园文化和视角的转变以及活动的制度化对CSUSM校园产生影响。学生发展活动包括参加一系列学术支持服务支持的挑战性课程、研究培训、研究研讨会，以及导致科学出版物的受监督的原创研究。我们的学生将在批判性思维、解决问题、写作和口头沟通、领导力和团队合作方面发展强大的技能。最后，学生将以分组的形式参加一系列活动，这些活动旨在为他们进入研究生院做准备，并跟踪他们的研究生学位完成情况。多年来，CSUSM Rise计划取得了越来越大的成功。近年来，南加州大学90%的本科生RISE学者攻读了生物医学和行为科学的研究生课程，80%的研究生RISE学者攻读了博士学位。作为一个整体，CSUSM Rise计划将培养未被充分代表的少数族裔学生成为有思想的科学家，他们拥有知识、技能、研究经验和个人品格，为他们在生物医学和行为科学方面的博士学习做好准备，这将使他们成为未来科学和学术界的领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) RISE Program is well-aligned with the national goal of RISE to increase diversity in the biomedical workforce. With more than 10 years of experience we've revised and updated our program to achieve a rigorous set of activities designed to develop thoughtful and creative scientists who not only have the tools and skills to be successful in doctoral studies, but also have the opportunity to become leaders in their respective fields. As a young and rapidly growing campus situated in north San Diego County, CSUSM is well-positioned to influence an increasing number of students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups, helping them find their way to research careers. The CSUSM RISE Program consists of four key components: 1) The Pre-Rise Program, which is designed to enhance awareness of careers in biomedical research and to increase the number of students eligible for, and interested in, the Undergraduate RISE Program. 2) The Undergraduate RISE Program, which includes a broad set of activities designed to increase the number of students from underrepresented minority groups who are competitive for admission to graduate school in the biomedical sciences. 3) The Graduate RISE Program, which parallels our Undergraduate RISE Program to prepare Master's Degree students for admission to doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. 4) Institutional Impact identifies broader benefits of the RISE Program, and in particular how the program has impacted on the CSUSM campus with shifts in the campus culture and perspective, and the institutionalization of activities. Student development activities include participation in a challenging curriculum supported by a range of academic support services, research training, research seminars, and supervised original research leading to scientific publications. Our students will develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, writing and oral communication, leadership, and teamwork. Finally, students will participate as a cohort in a set of activities designed to prepare and place them into graduate school and to track completion of their graduate degrees. The CSUSM RISE Program has shown increasing success over the years. In recent years, 90% of CSUSM undergraduate RISE Scholars have gone to graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and 80% of graduate RISE Scholars have gone to PhD programs. Taken as a whole, the CSUSM RISE Program will prepare underrepresented minority students to be thoughtful scientists who have the knowledge, skills, research experience and personal character that prepare them for doctoral studies in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and that will allow them to become future leaders in science and academia.
