Minority Biomedical Career Enhancement at Cal State LA

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学洛杉矶（加州州立大学洛杉矶分校）建议继续其成功的MBRS RISE努力，使少数群体成员进入生物医学研究事业的重大影响。 我们提出了两个发展活动的计划：一个为本科生，研究生。 目标是至少75%的参与本科生和75%的硕士生将进入研究生课程，以获得博士学位。 该计划将涉及本科生和硕士生的活动适合他们的水平，包括：一个坚实的科学课程，通过精心的课外活动计划增强，包括：在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和其他机构参与研究的强大机会;参加特别研讨会和课程;认真的学术和职业生涯的发展;通过RISE学生与科学教师和其他成功的加州州立大学洛杉矶分校科学学生的刻意互动建立网络;参与与看门人数学和科学课程平行的补充教学;参与促进学习小组;参加生物医学科学系列研讨会。该计划旨在培养学生在数学，科学和英语语言方面的扎实技能，以支持在自然科学和行为科学领域要求苛刻的本科专业和硕士课程中取得高学术成就。 学生发展活动涉及加州州立大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学欧文分校、加州大学圣地亚哥分校和南加州大学之间的合作。 期望参与者将通过与学术和工业科学家的互动，以及参与扎实的研究经验，激励他们从事生物医学和生物行为科学的职业;并为从本科生和硕士生到博士研究的过渡做好充分准备。 我们的第一个MBRS上升的努力已经取得了坚实的成果：在上升BS/BA收件人是22现在在博士课程和13更多的MS程序途中博士;和3更多的准备程序。在我们的MS/MA RISE毕业生中，有19人在加州大学洛杉矶分校，加州大学欧文分校，加州大学圣地亚哥分校，南加州大学，加州理工学院，加州大学滨江分校，斯坦福大学，俄勒冈州大学，伊利诺伊大学，亚拉巴马大学，肯塔基州大学和格鲁吉亚理工学院攻读博士学位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA) proposes to continue its successful MBRS RISE effort to make a significant impact on the entry of minority group members into biomedical research careers. We propose a program of two developmental activities: one each for undergraduate, graduate students. Objectives are that at least 75% of the participating undergraduates and 75% of the masters students will enroll in graduate programs leading to the PhD. The Program will involve undergraduates and master students in activities appropriate to their level and includes: a solid science curriculum enhanced by a program of deliberate co-curricular activities, including: strong opportunities for research participation at Cal State LA and other institutions; participation in special workshops and courses; careful academic and career advisement; networking through the deliberate interaction of the RISE students with science faculty and other successful Cal State LA science students; participation in supplementary instruction parallel to gatekeeper mathematics and science classes; participation in facilitated study groups; participation in a biomedical sciences seminar series. The program is designed for students to develop solid skills in mathematics, the sciences, and the English language to support high academic achievement in demanding undergraduate majors and masters programs in the natural and behavioral sciences. Student development activities involve collaboration between Cal State LA, UCLA, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, and the University of Southern California. The expectation is that participants will be motivated to careers in the biomedical and bio-behavioral sciences through interaction with academic and industrial scientists, and participation in solid research experiences; and be well-prepared for the transition from undergraduates and masters students to PhD study. Our first MBRS RISE effort has yielded solid results: among RISE BS/BA recipients are 22 now in PhD programs and 13 more in MS programs en route to the PhD; and 3 more in PREP programs. Among our MS/MA RISE graduates are 19 in PhD programs at UCLA, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, the University of Southern California, the California Institute of Technology, UC Riverside, Stanford University, the University of Oregon, the University of Illinois, the University of Alabama, the University of Kentucky, and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
