 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The future of this country's social and economic well-being and stability depends on the education of a technological- competent workforce. As this country becomes more ethnically diverse, differences in participation in higher education and specifically in science and technology-based careers are becoming more evident, and if nothing is done to train this growing sector of the U.S.A.'s population the nation's future is at risk. The overall goal of the RISE program at CSUN is to increase the number of competitively prepared historically underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students in basic biomedical research for careers in that field. We will target our specific interventions in four areas: pre RISE, lower division undergraduates, upper division undergraduates, and graduate students. We will also seek to enhance the professional development of professors who train these students. This program is designed to address the needs of CSUN students and is based on the success of our past programs. It provides support and developmental activities for those who arrive on campus under-prepared for college-level courses, and for those students who are better prepared for the rigorous curricula they encounter at this University. We propose a number of activities to enhance student development, promote successful completion of the bachelor's or master's level degrees, and produce graduates that are highly competitive for graduate school programs. The RISE program offers a variety of workshops, both during the summer and throughout the academic year, to help students improve the fundamental skills needed in English, mathematics, and science. A number of these interventions are already in place and we propose others to better meet the needs of the students in our program. The activities for faculty will enhance their professional development as mentors. This program will support the mission and values of the University to help students and faculty achieve their academic and professional goals. Specific Aims: To increase the RISE-eligible pool by 4% per year or 20% over the five year grant cycle, To increase the number of RISE students who enter M.S. or Ph.D. programs from 51% to 65% over the proposed grant cycle, and To increase participation of RISE faculty in activities to improve their mentoring skills.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这个国家的社会和经济福利和稳定的未来取决于技术能力的劳动力的教育。随着这个国家的种族越来越多样化，在高等教育，特别是在科学和技术为基础的职业参与的差异变得越来越明显，如果不采取任何措施来培训美国这个不断增长的部门。这个国家的未来正处于危险之中。的 在CSUN上升计划的总体目标是增加竞争准备历史上代表性不足的本科生和研究生在基础生物医学研究在该领域的职业生涯的数量。我们将针对我们的具体干预措施在四个领域：预RISE，低年级本科生，高年级本科生和研究生。我们还将努力加强培训这些学生的教授的专业发展。该计划旨在满足CSUN学生的需求，并基于我们过去计划的成功。它提供了支持和发展活动，为那些谁在校园下准备大学水平的课程，并为那些谁是更好地为他们在这所大学遇到的严格的课程准备的学生。我们提出了一些活动，以提高学生的发展，促进成功完成学士或硕士学位，并产生毕业生，是研究生院课程的高度竞争力。RISE计划在夏季和整个学年提供各种研讨会，以帮助学生提高英语，数学和科学所需的基本技能。其中一些干预措施已经到位，我们建议其他人更好地满足我们计划中学生的需求。教师的活动将加强他们作为导师的专业发展。该计划将支持大学的使命和价值观，帮助学生和教师实现他们的学术和职业目标。 具体目标：每年增加4%的RISE合格池或20%在五年的补助金周期，以增加谁进入MS的RISE学生的数量。或博士计划从51%到65%，在拟议的赠款周期，并增加RISE教师参与活动，以提高他们的指导技能。
