DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): El Paso Community College (EPCC), a Hispanic Serving Institution with an 88% Minority student enrollment submits this competing continuation application to the MBRS RISE Program. The overall goal is to develop EPCC into a gateway to biomedical professional research careers for minority and disadvantaged students that have been traditionally under-represented in the sciences. The RISE Program will continue developing a mutually supportive learning community by actively engaging our students, faculty and the community in appropriate enrichment, developmental and research activities. This will ultimately lead to an increase in the number of EPCC students transferring to four-year institutions and pursuing a biomedical research career. EPCC's RISE to the Challenge Program consists of Student, Faculty, Community and Institutional Development Activities. All activities are aimed at increasing the number of minority and disadvantaged students acquiring the tools necessary to succeed in college and pursue biomedical research careers. The goals and objectives of EPCC's RISE Program are consistent with the mission of the MBRS RISE Program to enhance the research environment at minority institutions. The program is divided into five components: I) The Biomedical Science Enrichment Program (BSEP). The Goals of the RISE-BSEP Program are to continue providing talented incoming freshmen with the tools to succeed and excel in their freshman and sophomore-level courses and to expose them to biomedical research. The objectives are: a) to provide a summer internship for ten incoming freshman who will participate in developmental activities including Mini-courses in Mathematics, English, College Survival Skills and developing and presenting a Mini-research project, b) to provide an extended internship for BSEP students throughout the academic year so that they can participate in tutoring, supplemental instruction and research. II) The No-Excuse Research Development Program (NRDP). The goal of the NRDP Program is to continue providing research internships, tutoring, mentoring and developmental activities for EPCC students to increase their success in college as well as their potential to transfer to a four-year university and pursue a Ph.D. degree. The objectives are a) to expose students to biomedical research by providing year-round research internships for fifteen sophomores and selected freshman, b) to provide them with tutoring, mentoring, scientific enhancement and research techniques mini-courses. III) The Faculty Development Component. The goal is to continue developing the research and teaching potential of RISE faculty so that they become effective advocates of the objectives of the RISE Program. The objectives are: a) to provide adequate release time and resources so that faculty can effectively participate in these activities, b) to provide training and research exposure to increase the ability of the faculty to become more independent researchers, c) to enhance collaborations between EPCC faculty and other institutions, and d) to increase the productivity of the faculty in terms of presentations, publications and grants. IV) The Community Development Component. The goal is to improve the science literacy of our community so that they become active supporters of the RISE Program. The objectives are: a) to increase the awareness and project a positive image of the importance of biomedical research among community members, and b) to actively engage the community and RISE students and faculty in a "Community of Science". V) The Institutional Development Component. The goal is to improve the research infrastructure of EPCC. The objectives are: a) to renovate a classroom to transform it into an analytical chemical instrumentation laboratory, and b) to provide state-of-the-art computers, multimedia, and small equipment items to enhance the teaching and research capabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：El Paso社区学院（EPCC），一家西班牙裔服务机构，少数族裔学生入学率将这一竞争性延续申请提交了MBRS RISE计划。总体目标是将EPCC开发为传统上在科学中代表不足的少数民族和处境不利的学生的生物医学专业研究职业的门户。崛起计划将通过积极吸引我们的学生，教职员工和社区参与适当的丰富，发展和研究活动，继续发展一个相互支持的学习社区。这最终将导致转移到四年制机构并从事生物医学研究职业的EPCC学生人数增加。 EPCC的挑战计划包括学生，教职员工，社区和机构发展活动。所有活动旨在增加少数群体和处境不利的学生的数量，这些学生获得了在大学成功并从事生物医学研究事业所必需的工具。 EPCC崛起计划的目标和目标与MBRS Rise计划的使命一致，以增强少数族裔机构的研究环境。该程序分为五个组成部分： i）生物医学科学丰富计划（BSEP）。 RISE-BSEP计划的目标是继续提供才华横溢的新生，并在新生和大二学生课程中取得成功并脱颖而出，并将其暴露于生物医学研究中。目的是：a）为十个即将到来的新生提供暑期实习，他们将参加开发活动，包括数学，英语，大学生存技能，开发和介绍一个微型研究项目，b）在整个学年中为BSEP学生提供扩展的实习，以便他们可以参与培养，补充教育和研究。 ii）No-Axcuse研究开发计划（NRDP）。 NRDP计划的目的是继续为EPCC学生提供研究实习，辅导，指导和发展活动，以提高他们在大学的成功，以及他们转移到四年制大学并攻读博士学位的潜力。程度。这些目标是a）通过为十五岁的大二学生提供全年的研究实习，并选择了新生，b）为他们提供辅导，指导，科学增强和研究技巧迷你巡回赛，以使学生了解生物医学研究。 iii）教师发展组成部分。目的是继续发展崛起教师的研究和教学潜力，以便他们成为崛起计划目标的有效拥护者。目的是：a）提供足够的发布时间和资源，以便教师可以有效地参与这些活动，b）提供培训和研究暴露，以提高教师成为更独立的研究人员的能力，c）增强EPCC教师与其他机构之间的合作，以及d）在教师的生产率上，以提高教师的生产率，以提高陈述的生产率。 iv）社区发展组成部分。目的是提高我们社区的科学素养，以便他们成为崛起计划的积极支持者。这些目标是：a）提高意识并展现社区成员生物医学研究重要性的积极形象，b）积极吸引社区，崛起的学生和教职员工参与“科学社区”。 v）机构发展组成部分。目的是改善EPCC的研究基础设施。目标是：a）翻新教室以将其转换为分析化学仪器实验室，b）提供最先进的计算机，多媒体和小型设备项目，以增强教学和研究能力。
