DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, Northridge (CSUN) proposes to establish an MBRS-RISE program to improve the participation of minorities in biomedical research careers. We have proposed a program with three developmental activities: one at the undergraduate level, another for MS-level students and one for faculty. We expect that early advisement, early intervention, development of basic skills in communication, critical thinking, mathematics, a strong curriculum and the opportunity to participate in a research project will result in: an increase in RISE eligible students, a 100% graduation rate of the participants, with an end result of 60% of our program's undergraduates entering Ph.D. programs in biomedically-relevant fields. We expect that early advisement, strong mentoring, and participating in the collaborative arrangements between CSUN and eight Ph.D. granting institutions will result in 95% of the program's students completing the MS and 80% entering Ph.D. programs. Faculty will be provided with workshops to improve their mentoring skills, with opportunities to participate in summer research at research-intensive universities and workshops that will help them prepare competitive research proposals. We expect that 70% of the faculty will be rated as satisfactory or higher by their mentees and that 90% of the MBRS faculty will apply for an NSF RUI, SCORE or other extra-mural program. Outcomes from all these activities will prepare students for entry into competitive research programs, help them persist to earn the Ph.D., and finally, will enable this program to make significant strides towards increasing minority participation in science.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚州立大学，诺斯里奇（CSUN）提议建立一个MBRS-Rise计划以改善参与 生物医学研究职业的少数民族。我们已经提出了一个计划 三个发展活动：一个在本科级别，另一个是 MS级学生，一个是教师。我们期望早期的建议 干预，沟通基本技能的发展，批判性思维， 数学，强大的课程和参加 研究项目将导致：有资格的学生增加，100％ 参与者的毕业率，最终结果是我们计划的60％ 本科生进入博士学位与生物医学相关的领域的计划。我们 期望早期的建议，强有力的指导和参与 CSUN和八博士学位之间的协作安排授予机构 将导致该计划的95％的学生完成MS和80％的进入 博士程序。教师将举办研讨会以改善他们的 指导技能，有机会参加夏季研究 研究密集型大学和讲习班将帮助他们准备 竞争性研究建议。我们预计将有70％的教师被评为 他们的受训者感到满意或更高，而90％的MBR教师 将申请NSF RUI，得分或其他壁外计划。结果 所有这些活动都将使学生准备参加竞争性研究 计划，帮助他们坚持赢得博士学位，最后将启用这一点 计划朝着增加少数群体参与方面取得长足的进步 科学。
