MBRS-RISE at Cal Poly Pomona Supplement

描述(由申请人提供)：为了让我们的少数族裔学生能够认识到他们在生物医学研究方面的潜力，我们开发了这项“研究入门”发展活动，目标如下：(1)培养我们较低年级的RISE学生对生物医学研究的强烈和持久的兴趣，(2)向他们提供研究技术和过程的实用知识，(3)为他们提供丰富和有意义的研究经验。 在大一之后，这些RISE学生将参加一个暑期项目，在这个项目中，他们将加强他们的实验室技能，并被介绍给他们新的生物医学技术。他们将参加一系列研讨会，从生物医学科学入门到参与生物医学研究工作领域。本课程将包括生物医学研究论文的阅读和讨论。 MBRS-SCORE教师将为这些学生提供研究参与项目和/或活动。他们将由已在教员研究小组中的高年级或研究生研究生指导。这种在少数民族学生早期教育中的互动和参与将激励他们追求更复杂的研究问题，并刺激他们考虑从事生物医学研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): So that our minority students can realize their potential to pursue a career in biomedical research, we have developed this "Introduction to Research" developmental activity with the following goals:(1) To develop an intense and lasting interest in biomedical research in our lower division RISE students,(2) To provide them with a working knowledge of research techniques and processes,(3) To provide them with a rich and meaningful research experience. Following their freshman year these RISE students will participate in a summer program in which they will strengthen their laboratory skills and be introduced to new biomedical techniques. They will participate in a seminar series that will carry them from an introduction to biomedical sciences into involvement in areas of biomedical research work. This program will include readings and discussions of biomedical research papers. MBRS-SCORE faculty will provide research participation projects and/or activities for these students. They will be guided by the upper division or graduate RISE research students already in the faculty's research group. This type of interaction and participation early in minority students' education will inspire them to pursue more complex research questions and stimulate them to consider a career in biomedical research.
