Undergraduate Research Training for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) at Cal State LA

U-Rise摘要 新的加州州立大学洛杉矶U-Rise项目是基于我们50年来在 使本科生科学家为生物医学研究的博士级别的职业生涯做准备。从历史上看 以化学、生物化学和生物科学系为中心 自然和社会科学院，生物医学研究培训计划已扩大到 包括来自另外两所学院和八个系的教职员工 校园里。总计，我们将能够从4600多名符合条件的学生中选择参与者 本科生，他们创造了全国最多样化的校园之一。在过去的五年中 多年来，参加我们Rise或MARC培训的加州州立大学洛杉矶本科生中有77% 在全国各地招收博士学位的项目。 U-Rise课程旨在培养学生的技术、操作和专业能力 技能。这是以一种有意为包容性创建可持续基础设施的方式完成的 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的研究培训。U-Rise实习生将参加为期一年的真实 校内外的研究经验，每周的科学研讨会和科学会议。 他们将学习如何以负责任和道德的方式进行研究，展示他们的研究 专业的发现，并创建成功的博士项目申请。新技术中的创新 U-Rise建议包括开发向所有人开放的新的选修研究培训课程 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校学生。这些课程将通过允许 学生在探索科学研究的同时，为他们的学位课程赢得学分。我们 我相信这些创新将有助于将研究文化从我们的U-Rise计划传播到 校园的其他部分。 U-Rise学员将建立自己的科学身份，同时在社区中做出改变 这对他们来说很重要。他们将体验到更多的研究培训机会 接受过包容性指导最佳做法培训的调查员的经验。这个 格兰特每年将为20-35名学生提供服务，并包括40多名参与其中的教职员工。 自然和社会科学院、卫生和公共服务学院内的系 以及工程学、计算机科学与技术。计划完成后，在 至少85%的U-Rise实习生将成功注册博士课程。至少80%的U- Rise博士项目的校友将成功完成这些工作。这些学生将加入63名 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的NIH学生支持已完成或 在过去的15年里，他们正在攻读博士学位。

U-RISE SUMMARY The new Cal State LA U-RISE program is designed to build on our 50 years of experience in preparing undergraduate scientists for PhD-level careers in biomedical research. Historically centered in the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Biological Sciences within the College of Natural and Social Sciences, biomedical research training program has expanded to include faculty and students from two additional colleges and eight more departments on our campus. In total, we will be able to choose student participants from over 4600 eligible undergraduates, who create one of the most diverse campuses in the nation. In the past five years, 77% of Cal State LA undergraduates that participated in our RISE or MARC training programs enrolled in PhD programs throughout our country. The U-RISE program is designed to develop student technical, operational, and professional skills. This is done in a way that intentionally creates a sustainable infrastructure for inclusive research training at Cal State LA. U-RISE trainees will participate in year-long, authentic research experiences on and off campus, weekly scientific seminars, and scientific conferences. They will learn how to conduct research responsibly and ethically, present their research findings professionally, and create successful PhD program applications. Innovations in the new U-RISE proposal include the development of new elective research training courses open to all Cal State LA students. These courses will broaden participation in research by allowing students to explore scientific research while earning credit towards their degree programs. We believe these innovations will help spread the culture of research from our U-RISE program to other parts of the campus. U-RISE trainees will build their own scientific identities while making a difference in communities that matter to them. They will experience expanded opportunities for research training experiences with investigators trained in the best practices of mentoring for inclusivity. The grant will serve 20-35 students annually, and includes over 40 participating faculty in ten departments within the Colleges of Natural and Social Sciences, Health and Human Services and Engineering, Computer Science and Technology. Following completion of the program, at least 85% of our U-RISE trainees will successfully enroll in PhD programs. At least 80% of U- RISE alumni in PhD programs will successfully complete these. These students will join the 63 Cal State LA students from NIH supported research training programs that have completed or are currently enrolled in PhD programs in the past 15-years.
