DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS RISE program at the University of Texas at Brownsville will provide educational enrichment, research training and experiential opportunities for predominately Hispanic (93%) undergraduate students in preparation for entrance into Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences. The MBRS-RISE Program at the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC) will continue to support the goals of Healthy People 2010 through planned research strategies and collaboration with the UT System Health Science Centers that specifically address the unique health disparities of this border region. The goals for this MBRS-RISE program are to increase the number of UTB/TSC students applying to and enrolling in Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences, to strengthen biomedical research capacity, and to strengthen institutional research infrastructure in biomedical sciences. Key objectives of this project are designed to enhance student awareness of careers in biomedical research; increase the number of students engaged in biomedical research training; strengthen student preparation for rigor of scientific disciplines; strengthen student preparation for admission to Ph.D. programs; promote collaborations with biomedical scientists from research-intensive institutions; provide UTB faculty with skills to effectively mentor students and promote students into biomedical and/or behavioral science research fields; schedule a program of biomedical research seminars; provide an annual research symposium; and facilitate institutional collaborations with research-intensive institutions. It is anticipated that 18 students will participate in the MBRS-RISE program in year 01, with 16 students in each of years 02-04. It is planned that 50% of MBRS-RISE Scholars will graduate from the program and enter directly into Ph.D. programs in biomedical science. Students will have the opportunity to experience off-campus summer research experiences at research-intensive institutions after completion of their junior year. Under the direction of MBRS-RISE faculty mentors, students will participate in a rigorous program of educational training with hands-on research laboratory experience. Students and faculty mentors will attend and present at professional conferences and seminars that will provide crucial opportunities for exposure to biomedical science research and institutional collaboration. The expanded emphasis on research at UTB/TSC has so influenced the local community that citizens approved the construction of a Science and Technology Learning Center as part of a local bond election. The program will be evaluated annually by an external program consultant, and findings will be presented to the MBRS RISE Program Advisory Committee and MBRS-RISE administration. The MBRS-RISE program at UTB provides educational enrichment, research training, and experiential opportunities for undergraduate students in preparation for entrance into Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校的 MBRS RISE 项目将为主要是西班牙裔 (93%) 的本科生提供教育丰富、研究培训和体验机会，为攻读博士学位做准备。生物医学科学项目。德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校和德克萨斯最南端学院 (UTB/TSC) 的 MBRS-RISE 计划将通过计划的研究策略以及与专门解决独特健康问题的 UT 系统健康科学中心的合作，继续支持健康人民 2010 的目标这个边境地区的差距。该 MBRS-RISE 计划的目标是增加申请和就读博士学位的 UTB/TSC 学生数量。生物医学科学计划，加强生物医学研究能力，并加强生物医学科学的机构研究基础设施。该项目的主要目标旨在提高学生对生物医学研究职业的认识；增加从事生物医学研究培训的学生数量；加强学生对科学学科严谨性的准备；加强学生攻读博士学位的准备。节目；促进与研究密集型机构的生物医学科学家的合作；为UTB教师提供有效指导学生并促进学生进入生物医学和/或行为科学研究领域的技能；安排生物医学研究研讨会计划；举办年度研究研讨会；促进与研究密集型机构的机构合作。 预计 01 年将有 18 名学生参加 MBRS-RISE 项目，02-04 年每年有 16 名学生。计划 50% 的 MBRS-RISE 学者将从该项目毕业并直接攻读博士学位。生物医学科学项目。大三结束后，学生将有机会在研究密集型机构体验校外暑期研究经历。在 MBRS-RISE 导师的指导下，学生将参加严格的教育培训计划，并获得实践研究实验室的经验。学生和教师导师将参加并出席专业会议和研讨会，这将为接触生物医学科学研究和机构合作提供重要机会。 UTB/TSC 对研究的日益重视对当地社区产生了如此大的影响，以至于公民批准建设科学技术学习中心，作为当地债券选举的一部分。该计划每年将由外部计划顾问进行评估，评估结果将提交给 MBRS RISE 计划咨询委员会和 MBRS-RISE 管理部门。 UTB 的 MBRS-RISE 项目为本科生提供丰富的教育、研究培训和体验机会，为攻读博士学位做好准备。生物医学科学项目。
