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）：加州州立大学北岭分校 (CSUN) 提议建立 MBRS-RISE 计划以提高参与度 生物医学研究职业中的少数群体。我们提出了一个计划 三项发展活动：一项在本科阶段，另一项在大学阶段 硕士级别的学生和一名教师。我们期望尽早提供建议、尽早 干预、沟通基本技能的发展、批判性思维、 数学、强大的课程以及参与的机会 研究项目将导致： 符合 RISE 条件的学生数量增加 100% 参与者的毕业率，最终结果为我们项目的 60% 本科生进入博士学位。生物医学相关领域的计划。我们 期待早期的建议、强有力的指导和参与 CSUN与八位博士生之间的合作安排资助机构 将使该项目 95% 的学生完成 MS 学位，80% 进入该项目 博士程序。将为教师提供研讨会以提高他们的水平 指导技能，有机会参加夏季研究 研究密集型大学和研讨会将帮助他们做好准备 有竞争力的研究提案。我们预计 70% 的教师将获得评级 90% 的 MBRS 教员对其学员的满意度或更高 将申请 NSF RUI、SCORE 或其他校外项目。结果来自 所有这些活动将为学生进入竞争性研究做好准备 计划，帮助他们坚持获得博士学位，最后，将实现这一目标 计划在提高少数族裔参与方面取得重大进展 在科学中。
