The Chicago State University MBRS Programs support student training in the biomedical sciences and faculty research.

  Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) is a student research training program designed to provide expanded opportunities for undergraduates majoring in biology, chemistry or physics to prepare for doctoral-level work.

   Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) is a program to enhance the biomedical research capabilities of the university  by support of faculty research.

The CSU MBRS Programs receive generous support from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The SCORE program is authorized for funding through 2011 and RISE is funded through 2013.
