MBRS Development and Enhancement at CSUN

描述(由申请者提供)：CSUN的MBRS Rise项目旨在提高CSUN学生和教职员工追求生物医学研究事业的整体技能和兴趣。因此，我们将为本科生、研究生和教职员工提供发展性活动。该计划旨在满足CSUN学生的需求，并基于我们过去的计划的成功。它为那些进入校园时对大学课程准备不足的学生，以及为他们在这所大学遇到的严格课程做好准备的学生提供支持和发展活动。我们提出了一些活动来促进学生的发展，促进学士或硕士学位的顺利完成，并培养出对研究生院项目具有很强竞争力的毕业生。MBRS计划在暑期和整个学年提供各种研讨会，帮助学生提高英语、数学和科学所需的基本技能。许多这样的活动已经到位，我们建议开展其他活动，以更好地满足我们项目中学生的需求。生物医学研究的教职员工需要保持各自领域的最新动态。教师的活动将促进他们作为生物医学研究人员的专业发展。该计划将支持大学的使命和价值观，帮助学生和教职员工实现他们的学术和职业目标。 具体目标 在四年的赠款周期内，每年增加5%的RASH资格池，或增加20%。 在拟议的资助周期内，将RISE学生进入硕士或博士项目的人数从60%增加到75%。 在这个为期四年的拨款周期内，将RISE各系获得校外补助金支持的教员人数增加20%。 实现这些具体目标与CSUN的使命和价值观是一致的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS RISE program at CSUN seeks to increase the overall skills and interests of students and faculty at CSUN in pursuit of biomedical research careers. We thus will be providing developmental activities for undergraduate and graduate students and faculty. This program is designed to address the needs of CSUN students and is based on the success of our past program. 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 MBRS 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 activities are already in place and we propose others to better meet the needs of the students in our program. Faculty in biomedical research need to stay up-to-date in their fields. The activities for faculty will enhance their professional development as biomedical researchers. 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 5% per year or 20% over the four-year grant cycle. To increase the number of RISE students who enter M.S. or Ph.D. programs from 60% to 75% over the proposed grant cycle. To increase the number of faculty with extramural grant support in RISE departments by 20% over this four-year grant cycle. Meeting these specific aims is consistent with the mission and values of CSUN.
