MINORITY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT

这是一项关于建立少数民族生物医学研究所的建议， 支持（MBRS）方案在中央加勒比大学学校 医学（UCCEM）在波多黎各。UCCEM成立于1976年，是一个私人的， 非营利性医学院，自1978年和1979年以来，它已被认可的 高等教育波多黎各理事会（CES）和 医学教育委员会（LCME）。 1989年，CES 对基础生物医学研究生课程进行了全面认证 提供MA的科学和史密斯度1992年， 与两个相邻机构建立了谅解备忘录 服务于PR，Universidad的大量本科少数民族学生 del Sagrado Corazon和Interamerican大学。 健康认证- 科学（医学博士）毕业（M.A.，（硕士）UCCEM的计划加上 与本科西班牙裔仆人的财团安排 上述大学为实施MBRS提供了框架 UCCEM的一个项目，它包含了国家MBRS项目的使命 NlGMS的“寻求提供更多的机会， 选择和参与生物医学教育的权利 研究职业和培养有竞争力的生物医学研究科学家 也是少数民族”。 MBRS计划的具体目标 在UCCEM是符合国家MBRS计划的目标：l.到 协助研究科学家在UCCEM的发展，和连续性， 其研究能力和活动，2。 让大学生 来自我们附属机构的学生，圣心大学和 Interamerican大学，生物医学研究活动，3。到 激励我们附属学院的少数民族本科生， 大学追求生物医学研究事业，4。 吸引 少数民族研究生学位的学生从这些附属，和其他非- 附属机构，机构开始在我们的研究生课程的研究， 从事生物医学研究事业，以及5。 吸引少数民族 UCCEM的研究生医学生参加科学- 生物医学研究活动，并激励他们追求生物医学 临床科学的研究生涯。这些目标将 在UCCEM的MBRS计划通过以下计划和 拟议的具体活动：l. 教师发起的，科学的- 子项目中有价值的、与生物医学相关的研究项目- 首席研究员，以下UCCEM学生可以 参加：研究生，医学生（夏季），和2。 与我们的附属机构合作， 在学术和夏季期间的参与 本科生/研究生在校长的研究项目 UCCEM的调查员。

This is a proposal for the establishment of a Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program at Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine (UCCEM) in Puerto Rico. UCCEM was founded in 1976 as a private, non-profit medical school, since 1978 and 1979 it has been accredited by the Puerto Rico Council of Higher Education (CES) and by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), respectively. In 1989, the CES gave full accreditation to a Graduate Program in the Basic Biomedical Sciences which offers M.A. and M.S. degrees. In 1992 memorandums of understanding (MOU's) were established with two neighboring institutions serving a large base of undergraduate minority students of PR, Universidad del Sagrado Corazon and Interamerican University. The accredited health- science (M.D.) and graduate (M.A., M.S.) programs of UCCEM plus the consortium arrangements with the undergraduate hispanic-servant universities cited above, provide the framework for implementing an MBRS program at UCCEM which embraces the mission of the national MBRS program of the NlGMS of "seeking to provide expanded opportunities for underrepresented minorities to choose and participate in biomedical research careers and developing competitive biomedical research scientists who are also ethnic minorities". The specific goals of the MBRS Program at UCCEM are consonant to the goals of the National MBRS Program: l. to assist research scientists at UCCEM in the development, and continuity of their research capabilities and activities, 2. to expose undergraduate students from our affiliated institutions, Sacred Heart University and Interamerican University, to biomedical research activities, 3. to motivate minority undergraduates from our affiliated colleges and universities to pursue biomedical research careers, 4. to attract minority graduate degree students from these affiliated, and other non- affiliated, institutions to initiate studies in our Graduate Program and to pursue biomedical research careers, and 5. to attract minority graduate medical students at UCCEM to participate in scientific - biomedical research activities, and motivate them to pursue biomedical research careers in the clinical sciences. These objectives will be achieved by the MBRS Program at UCCEM via the following planned and proposed specific activities: l. faculty initiated, scientifically- meritorious, biomedically relevant research projects of subproject- Principal Investigators where the following UCCEM students can participate: graduate students, and medical students (summer time), and 2. implementation of the consortium with our affiliated institutions for the participation during the academic and summer periods of undergraduate/graduate students in the research projects of Principal Investigators at UCCEM.
