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RISE的国家目标保持一致，以增加生物医学劳动力的多样性。凭借超过10年的经验，我们已经修改和更新了我们的计划，以实现一套严格的活动，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，而且还有机会成为各自领域的领导者。作为一个年轻和快速增长的校园位于北圣地亚哥县，CSUSM是有利的位置，以影响越来越多的学生从代表性不足的少数民族（URM）群体，帮助他们找到自己的方式来研究职业生涯。 CSUSM RISE计划由四个关键组成部分组成：1）预升计划，旨在提高对生物医学研究职业的认识，并增加有资格参加本科RISE计划并对其感兴趣的学生人数。2)本科RISE计划，其中包括一系列广泛的活动，旨在增加来自代表性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科学研究生院。3)研究生RISE计划，它平行于我们的本科RISE计划，以准备硕士学位的学生进入生物医学科学博士课程。4)机构影响确定了RISE计划的更广泛的好处，特别是该计划如何影响CSUSM校园，改变校园文化和观点，以及活动的制度化。 学生发展活动包括参与一系列学术支持服务，研究培训，研究研讨会和监督原创研究的支持下具有挑战性的课程，从而导致科学出版物。我们的学生将培养批判性思维，解决问题，写作和口头沟通，领导力和团队合作的强大技能。最后，学生将作为一个队列参加一系列活动，旨在准备和安置他们进入研究生院，并跟踪他们的研究生学位的完成情况。 CSUSM RISE计划多年来取得了越来越大的成功。近年来，90%的CSUSM本科RISE学者都去了生物医学和行为科学的研究生课程，80%的研究生RISE学者都去了博士课程。 总的来说，CSUSM RISE计划将为代表性不足的少数民族学生做好准备，使他们成为有思想的科学家，他们拥有知识，技能，研究经验和个人性格，为他们在生物医学和行为科学方面的博士研究做好准备，并使他们成为科学和学术界的未来领导者。

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.
