DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) requests NIH/NIGMS support to continue its successful MBRS Minority Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program. The overall goal of the UTSA RISE program is to support and train underrepresented minority (URM) students so that they enter and succeed in premier biomedical doctoral programs, which is in accordance with the mission of the MBRS/MORE/NIGMS. The hypothesis to be tested is that successful implementation and execution of program specific aims will assist our URM MBRS-RISE students to progress to higher levels of training in biomedical research. The Specific Aims are: 1) Revise and enhance the UTSA comprehensive graduate biomedical research training program to focus on URM doctoral students in Biology and extend to Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Physics; 2) Revise and enhance current undergraduate program to focus exclusively on lower division undergraduate training for Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Physics majors; and 3) Conduct effective program evaluation and refinement. Professional, laboratory and personal development and support activities will continue at all levels. Further, new leadership and writing training will be implemented. The doctoral component will be refined to accommodate the additional majors, and training in grant writing will precede mandatory submission of dissertation proposals as federal grants. The successful undergraduate training component will be enhanced by providing a progressive introduction to research and the research lab for lower division students. Transitional and innovative Bootcamp activities at the rising sophomore level will provide the firm foundation in laboratory techniques prior to them joining a laboratory. These students will continue in mentored intramural research through their sophomore year, after which they will transition into our successful MARC-U*STAR research training program. Program evaluation will be continued and refined for all activities, with an additional focus on developing effective selection criteria for freshmen who will persist in research training in the MARC-U*STAR program. This proposal is innovative because it provides a holistic approach to training students by combining academic, research, leadership, and personal development activities that will help them to develop self-confidence, career path awareness, networking skills, and research proficiency. Overall, the UTSA MBRS-RISE program is dedicated to accomplishing the long term goal of increasing the number of URM students acquiring advanced degrees in the biomedical sciences, which will allow them to advance to competitive postdoctoral positions and launch rewarding careers in biomedical research. Project Narrative: Advances in public health are preceded by breakthroughs in scientific research. Providing funding for training for researchers, and recruiting younger students, who will pursue research as a career, is a direct investment in future medical advances. Training underrepresented minorities in research is particularly critical, as these students may pursue research that will address diseases that disproportionately affect minority populations, including diabetes and high blood pressure.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校（UTSA）请求NIH/NIGMS支持继续其成功的MBRS少数民族科学增强研究倡议（RISE）计划。UTSA RISE计划的总体目标是支持和培训代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生，使他们进入并成功地在总理生物医学博士课程，这是根据MBRS/MORE/NIGMS的使命。要测试的假设是，成功实施和执行程序的具体目标将有助于我们的URM MBRS-RISE学生进步到更高水平的生物医学研究培训。 具体目标是：1）修改和加强UTSA综合研究生生物医学研究培训计划，重点关注URM生物学博士生，并扩展到生物医学工程，化学，计算机科学和物理学; 2）修改和加强目前的本科课程，专注于生物学，化学，计算机科学和物理专业的低年级本科培训;和3）进行有效的计划评估和完善。将继续在各级开展专业、实验室和个人发展及支助活动。此外，还将进行新的领导能力和写作培训。博士部分将被完善，以适应额外的专业，并在赠款写作培训将之前，作为联邦赠款的论文建议强制提交。成功的本科培训部分将通过为低年级学生提供渐进的研究介绍和研究实验室来加强。过渡和创新的训练营活动在上升的大二水平将提供坚实的基础，在实验室技术之前，他们加入一个实验室。这些学生将继续通过他们的大二指导校内研究，之后他们将过渡到我们成功的MARC-U* 星星研究培训计划。将继续对所有活动进行项目评估并进行完善，同时重点为将坚持参加MARC-U* 星星项目研究培训的新生制定有效的选择标准。这项建议是创新的，因为它提供了一个整体的方法来培训学生结合学术，研究，领导力和个人发展活动，这将有助于他们发展自信，职业道路意识，网络技能和研究能力。总体而言，UTSA MBRS-RISE计划致力于实现增加URM学生获得生物医学科学高级学位的数量的长期目标，这将使他们能够晋升到具有竞争力的博士后职位，并在生物医学研究中开展有价值的职业生涯。 项目简介：公共卫生的进步是由科学研究的突破所推动的。为研究人员的培训提供资金，并招募将研究作为职业的年轻学生，是对未来医学进步的直接投资。在研究方面对代表性不足的少数群体进行培训尤为重要，因为这些学生可能从事的研究将涉及糖尿病和高血压等严重影响少数群体人口的疾病。
