MINORTY BIOMEDICAL ENHANCEMENT AT UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO AT HUMACAO

描述（由申请人提供）：波多黎各大学胡马考分校提议在其前四年成功的RISE项目所建立的基础上，建立一个科学增强项目研究倡议的延续。在这次更新申请中，我们将继续关注化学、生物、数学和物理系对从事生物医学研究事业感兴趣的少数民族理科学生的发展。拟议的计划加强了ubr - humacao作为少数民族本科生被录取并完成生物医学科学博士课程的主要国家贡献者。更新提案的主要目标是，在毕业时，至少有50%参加RISE计划的本科生将参加研究生课程，最终获得生物医学科学博士学位。课程设计有助于实现以学生为中心的课程目标：培养扎实的基础科学、数学和英语技能，并将这些技能与自然科学本科专业的高学术成就联系起来；通过科学教师的影响和参与科学前沿的相关研究经验，激励本科生寻求生物医学科学的职业生涯；并为他们过渡到竞争激烈的研究生课程，最终获得博士学位做好准备。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): University of Puerto Rico at Humacao proposes to establish a continuation of the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Program on the foundations established by its successful four previous years of RISE Program. In this renewal application, we will continue to focus on the development of minority science students in the Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Physics Departments interested in pursuing biomedical research careers. The proposed program strengthens UPR-Humacao as a primary national contributor of minority undergraduate students admitted to and completing Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences. The main goal of the renewal proposal is that upon graduation at least 50% of the undergraduates participating in the RISE Program will enroll in graduate programs leading to a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences. The program design facilitates the achievement of program student-centered objectives: develop solid skills in basic sciences, Mathematics and the English language and link these skills to support high academic achievement in undergraduate majors in natural science; motivate undergraduates to seek a career in the biomedical sciences through science faculty influence and participation in relevant research experiences in the frontier of science; and prepare them for the transition to competitive graduate programs leading to Ph.D. degrees.
