The goal of the U-RISE program at San Francisco State University (SFSU) is to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a PhD, who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. San Francisco State University has dramatically increased the number of underrepresented (UR) undergraduate students from SFSU that enter and succeed in PhD programs in the biomedical sciences during the past 20 years of NIH support. Prior to the NIH funded training programs, only one SFSU UR undergraduate student per decade entered a biomedically relevant PhD program. Today, every year more than 13 undergraduate UR SFSU students are being admitted into top PhD programs. We propose to continue our successes in preparing SFSU U-RISE trainees for PhD programs in the biomedical sciences while embracing the challenges associated with improving and enhancing our research and academic training effectiveness. We will prepare 32 highly qualified underrepresented junior/senior students each year in a rigorous science curriculum and provide them with high quality and stimulating research experiences. We will also provide academic and professional skills activities to enhance competitiveness for PhD programs. To adapt to the rapidly evolving biomedical research training landscape, we plan to continue to enhance these best practices as the foundation for the seminars, workshops, science literacy and communication series, community building, computational skills, and colloquium and honors courses in this new U-RISE program. In the proposed U-RISE program we will focus on 1) improving and enhancing computational and quantitative skills, 2) strengthening writing and science communication skills, and 3) expanding alumni networks and near-peer mentoring. To achieve our overall training goals, we will pursue the following measurable objectives: Objective 1: At least 75% of participants will enter biomedical PhD programs. Objective 2: Ensure that U-RISE trainees are progressing in the research and academic skills training that will enhance 1) success in completing an undergraduate STEM degree and 2) success in PhD programs. Objective 3: Expand our academic and scientific skills training to enhance competitiveness and success in biomedical PhD programs. Specifically, training in computational and quantitative skills, enhancing scientific writing and communication skills, and building a strong near-peer alumni network.

旧金山州立大学 (SFSU) 的 U-RISE 项目的目标是培养多元化人才库 获得博士学位的科学家，拥有成功转型为生物医学研究职业的技能 劳动力。旧金山州立大学显着增加了代表性不足 (UR) 的人数 SFSU 本科生在生物医学科学博士课程中取得成功 过去 20 年 NIH 的支持。在 NIH 资助的培训项目之前，只有一名 SFSU UR 本科生 每十年有学生进入生物医学相关的博士课程。如今，每年超过 13 UR SFSU 本科生正在被录取进入顶级博士课程。我们建议继续我们的 成功地为 SFSU U-RISE 学员准备生物医学科学博士课程，同时拥抱 与改善和增强我们的研究和学术培训有效性相关的挑战。 我们每年将通过严格的科学培养 32 名高素质、代表性不足的初中/高中学生 课程并为他们提供高质量和刺激的研究经验。我们还将提供 学术和专业技能活动，以提高博士课程的竞争力。为了适应 快速发展的生物医学研究培训环境，我们计划继续加强这些最佳实践 作为研讨会、讲习班、科学素养和交流系列、社区建设的基础， 这个新的 U-RISE 项目中的计算技能、座谈会和荣誉课程。在拟议的 U-RISE 中 计划我们将重点关注 1) 提高和增强计算和定量技能，2) 加强 写作和科学沟通技巧，3) 扩大校友网络和近同伴指导。到 为了实现我们的总体培训目标，我们将追求以下可衡量的目标： 目标 1：至少 75%的参与者将进入生物医学博士课程。目标 2：确保 U-RISE 学员 在研究和学术技能培训方面取得进展，这将增强 1) 成功完成 本科 STEM 学位和 2) 博士课程的成功。目标 3：扩大我们的学术和 科学技能培训，以提高生物医学博士课程的竞争力和成功。具体来说， 计算和定量技能培训，提高科学写作和沟通技巧，以及 建立强大的近邻校友网络。
