Project Summary/Abstract The mission of the U-RISE program at CSUB is to provide aspiring young researchers from diverse backgrounds authentic and transformational experiences that will strengthen their acceptance and successful completion of Ph.Ds. in the biomedical, and behavioral research fields leading to a diverse pool of the nation’s scientists. We will target students from Biology, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Kinesiology and Psychology providing the technical, operational, and professional skills necessary to become strong research scientists that will successfully transition from undergraduate to graduate to the biomedical workforce. Our objectives are to have 100% of our trainees graduate with a bachelor’s degree in a timely manner, effectively prepare trainees for interdisciplinary biomedical and behavioral research and beyond by providing a transformational intramural research experience with dedicated and supportive faculty, increase trainee knowledge base of the biomedical and behavioral sciences through our series of courses, From CSUB to Ph.D., increase critical thinking skills using the Critical Thinking Assessment Test (CAT), and increase leadership skills and personal growth through various experiential activities including community engagement/service learning and near-peer mentoring. Program outcomes include closing the gap in 4-year graduation rates and time to degree between well-represented and underrepresented students, have 70% of the U-RISE trainees admitted to Ph.D. programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and to impact the success of CSUB U-RISE alumni in Ph.D. programs, as measured by at least 75% of those entering Ph.D. programs advancing toward or succeeding in earning their doctoral degrees. The U-RISE program is in complete alignment, and will enhance the mission of CSUB, which places an emphasis on student learning via a commitment to scholarship, diversity, service, global awareness and life-long learning. The interdisciplinary focus of the program will give students an edge in gaining acceptance to graduate school and will provide the necessary breadth to successfully transition into graduate studies in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Ultimately, the nation's preeminence in the biomedical and behavioral sciences cannot be maintained without tapping into every available source of talent and perspective. The fact that certain ethnic and racial groups are underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences shows that we, as a nation, should do better to provide the tools necessary to all students that want to become scientists. Relatively impoverished rural and agricultural areas with large minority populations have a wealth of underutilized talent. CSUB, situated in such a location, possess this underutilized talent.

项目摘要/摘要 CSUB的U-Rise计划的使命是为有抱负的年轻研究人员提供 潜水员背景的真实和变革性的经历将加强他们的 博士学位的接受和成功完成。在生物医学和行为研究领域 导致该国科学家的不同池。我们将针对生物学的学生， 化学/生物化学，运动学和心理学提供技术，运营和 成为强大的研究科学家所需的专业技能，这些科学家将成功过渡 从本科生到生物医学劳动力。我们的目标是拥有100％ 我们的实习生毕业于学士学位，有效地为学员准备 跨学科的生物医学和行为研究以及通过提供变革性的 具有敬业和支持的教师的壁内研究经验，增加学员的知识 通过我们的一系列课程，从CSUB到博士学位，生物医学和行为科学的基础 使用批判性思维评估测试（CAT）提高批判性思维能力，并增加 通过包括社区在内的各种经验丰富的活动，领导技能和个人成长 参与/服务学习和近距离心理。计划结果包括缩小差距 在4年的毕业率和时间的毕业率和时间之间，代表性且代表性不足 学生，有70％的U-Rise学员获得了博士学位。生物医学和 行为科学并影响CSUB U-RISE校友在博士学位上的成功。程序，as 至少有75％进入博士学位的人衡量。朝向或成功的程序 获得博士学位。 U-Rise计划完全保持一致，将增强 CSUB的使命，该任务强调学生通过致力于 奖学金，多样性，服务，全球意识和终身学习。跨学科的重点 该课程将使学生在接受研究生院的接受方面具有优势 在生物医学和 行为科学。最终，国家在生物医学和行为中的优势 如果不利用每个可用的人才来源，就无法维持科学 看法。某些种族和种族群体在生物医学中的人数不足这一事实 行为科学表明，作为一个国家，我们应该做得更好以提供必要的工具 对于所有想成为科学家的学生。相对贫困的农村和农业地区 少数人的人才有很多未充分利用的人才。 CSUB，位于这样的 地点，拥有这种未充分利用的人才。
