DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the last decade UPR-Rio Piedras has been recognized as the major undergraduate source for minority doctorates in Biology and Chemistry among Hispanic institutions, and the MBRS-RISE program has been the major contributor to this successful training of undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of the present RISE proposal is to continue to increase the amount and quality of biomedical research at the campus. The emphasis of this proposal is on the enhancement of the academic, professional, and research preparation of our undergraduate and graduate students for entering biomedical research careers. We have structured the activities of this proposal to meet the following objectives: (1) increase the number of undergraduates who move into biomedical research careers, (2) strengthen the research and professional skills of undergraduates in order to increase their probability of success in these fields, (3) increase the number of graduate students who complete their Ph.D.s and move into postdoctoral positions in biomedical research, and (4) increase the competitiveness of undergraduate and graduate students by strengthening their research, academic, and professional skills. This revised proposal includes a refinement of the targeted undergraduate and graduate students and program elements such as improvement of skills in English, which reduces the requested budget. We have also increased the rigor and quantitative elements of the program assessment plan. RISE has been and remains key to increasing the contribution of UPR-RP in training Hispanic students to enter biomedical research careers. The program has been an integral component of the general quality of the science program on campus via its undergraduate and graduate activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的十年中，UPR-Rio Piedras 已被公认为拉美裔机构中少数族裔生物学和化学博士学位的主要本科来源，而 MBRS-RISE 项目一直是本科生和研究生成功培训的主要贡献者。当前 RISE 提案的目标是继续提高校园生物医学研究的数量和质量。 该提案的重点是加强本科生和研究生进入生物医学研究职业的学术、专业和研究准备。我们制定了该提案的活动，以实现以下目标：（1）增加进入生物医学研究职业的本科生数量，（2）加强本科生的研究和专业技能，以增加他们在这些领域取得成功的可能性，（3）增加完成博士学位并进入生物医学研究博士后职位的研究生数量，以及（4）提高生物医学研究的竞争力 本科生和研究生通过加强他们的研究、学术和专业技能。 该修订后的提案包括对目标本科生和研究生以及提高英语技能等计划要素的细化，从而减少了所需的预算。我们还提高了项目评估计划的严格性和定量性。 RISE 一直是并且仍然是增加 UPR-RP 在培训西班牙裔学生进入生物医学研究职业方面的贡献的关键。通过其本科生和研究生活动，该项目已成为校园科学项目总体质量的一个组成部分。
