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.

项目概要/摘要 CSUB 的 U-RISE 项目的使命是为来自以下国家的有抱负的年轻研究人员提供帮助： 不同背景的真实和变革性的经历将增强他们的能力 接受并成功完成生物医学和行为研究领域的博士学位。 我们将针对生物学、 化学/生物化学、运动机能学和心理学提供技术、操作和 成为成功转型的强大研究科学家所需的专业技能 从本科生到研究生再到生物医学劳动力，我们的目标是拥有 100% 的人才。 我们的学员及时获得学士学位，有效地为学员做好准备 通过提供变革性的跨学科生物医学和行为研究及其他研究 具有敬业和支持性教师的校内研究经验，增加学员知识 通过我们的系列课程（从 CSUB 到博士学位）奠定生物医学和行为科学的基础， 使用批判性思维评估测试 (CAT) 提高批判性思维技能，并提高 通过各种体验活动（包括社区活动）培养领导技能和个人成长 参与/服务学习和近同伴指导项目成果包括缩小差距。 四年毕业率和获得学位的时间在代表性良好和代表性不足之间 学生，70% 的 U-RISE 学员被生物医学和博士学位课程录取。 行为科学并影响 CSUB U-RISE 校友在博士项目中的成功。 至少 75% 的进入博士学位课程的人正在攻读或取得成功。 U-RISE 计划完全一致，并将增强他们的博士学位。 CSUB 的使命是通过承诺强调学生的学习 学术、多样性、服务、全球意识和终身学习。 该计划的一部分将使学生在获得研究生院录取方面具有优势，并将提供 成功过渡到生物医学和研究生学习所需的广度 最终，国家在生物医学和行为科学领域的领先地位。 如果不利用一切可用的人才来源和资源，科学就无法维持 某些民族和种族群体在生物医学领域代表性不足的事实。 行为科学表明，作为一个国家，我们应该更好地提供必要的工具 致所有想成为相对贫困农村和农业地区科学家的学生。 拥有大量少数民族人口的 CSUB 拥有大量未充分利用的人才。 位置，拥有这种未充分利用的人才。
