MBRS RISE at Cal State Dominguez

描述(由申请者提供)：加州大学多明格斯山庄的MBRS Rise计划的目标是为学生、教师和机构提供其他机构或系统范围的计划无法提供的发展生物医学研究机会，从而创造一个环境，为培训未被充分代表的少数群体提供更多的生物医学研究机会。25名学生参加了我们的RISE计划(20名本科生和5名毕业生)。所有5名研究生和14名本科生都在南加州大学医学院工作，其余6名本科生在港湾-加州大学洛杉矶分校医学中心研究和教育研究所工作。作为之前MBR补充的结果，我们翻新了400平方米。FT实验室将在自然科学和数学大楼成为MBRS学生研究核心实验室。在这个实验室里，我们放置了设备，供所有RISE的学生和教职员工使用。本补编的目的是获得资金，为医疗保险制度学生研究核心实验室购买更多的设备。我们希望购买Bio-RAD VersaDoc 5000系统、Beckman Coulter DU 640(生命科学包)UV/Vis分光光度计和Beckman Coulter Allegra 25R冷藏台式离心机。我们的目的是将最先进的设备带给我们的学生和教职员工，帮助他们进行研究活动，并激发他们对生物医学研究的进一步兴趣。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the MBRS RISE Program at CSU Dominguez Hills is to provide developmental biomedical research opportunities for students, faculty and the institution, which are not available through other institutional or system-wide programs, thus creating an environment that provides expanded opportunities for training underrepresented minorities in biomedical research. Twenty-five students participate in our RISE Program (20 undergraduates and 5 graduates). All five graduate and 14 undergraduate students work with CSUDH faculty and the remaining 6 undergraduates work at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Research and Education Institute. As the result of a previous MBRS supplement, we renovated a 400 sq. ft laboratory in the Natural Science and Mathematics building to become the MBRS Student Research Core Laboratory. In this laboratory we have placed equipment available to all RISE students and faculty. The objective of the present supplement is to obtain funds for the purchase of additional equipment for the MBRS Student Research Core Laboratory. We wish to purchase a BIO-RAD VersaDoc 5000 system, a Beckman Coulter DU 640 (Life Science Package) UV/Vis specrophotometer and a Beckman Coulter Allegra 25R refrigerated tabletop centrifuge. Our intent is to bring state-of-the-art equipment to our students and faculty to help them in their research activities and to stimulate their further interest in biomedical research.
