MINORITY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT PROGRAM ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

MBR方案的浓缩活动的目标是 班尼特学院将激励那些选择了专业的学生 生物、化学、数学/计算机科学或 心理学考虑在生物医学研究方面的职业。一个 数据库是由提交文件的学生的姓名编制的 申请参加浓缩活动。目标是 将通过以下目标实施：1)提供 优秀模范教员讲授他们的研究2) 参加全国MBRS学生研讨会的学生，其他 会议和/或研讨会，以扩大他们的知识3)发送 学生通过开设短期课程来提高他们的学习深度 对基金批准的学科之一的理解4) 协助教职员工和学生查找暑期研究 在可行的情况下预约和提供旅行补贴5) 帮助学生申请研究生院6)收集跟踪- 提供有关MBRS参与者的信息，以评估其有效性 计划的一部分。一个主要的新方向被投射到 附加目标。1997-2000年浓缩计划将 扩展目标，纳入生物医学协会 计划(BMAP)，我们相信这将增加50%的池 上进心强，有学术准备的理科毕业生 将竞争地进入生物医学研究生课程 研究生涯的准备工作。一个由20名新生和 每年二年级的学生都要遵循一系列的规定 实现MBRS目标的干预战略。

The goal of the enrichment activities of the MBRS Program at Bennett College is to motivate students who have chosen a major in biology, chemistry, mathematics/computer science or psychology to consider careers in biomedical research. A database is compiled of the names of students who file applications to participate in the enrichment activities. The goal will be implemented by the following objectives: 1) Provide outstanding model faculty to lecture on their research 2) Take students to the national MBRS Students Symposium, other conferences and/or workshops to expand their knowledge 3) Send students to short courses to improve the depth of their understanding in one of the approved disciplines of the grant 4) Assist faculty and students in locating summer research appointments and providing travel supplements where feasible 5) Assist students in applying for graduate school 6) Collect follow- up information on MBRS participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. A major new direction is projected in an additional objective. The enrichment plan for 1997 - 2000 will extend the objective to incorporate a BioMedical Associates Program (BMAP) which we believe will increase by 50% the pool of highly motivated, academically prepared science graduates who will move competitively into graduate programs for biomedical research career preparation. A corp of twenty freshman and sophomore students each year will follow a series of prescriptive intervention strategies to accomplish the MBRS goal.
