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成功的四年崛起计划所建立的基础上，建立科学加强研究倡议计划的延续。在这次续签申请中，我们将继续关注化学、生物、数学和物理系中对生物医学研究事业感兴趣的少数族裔理科学生的发展。拟议的计划加强了UPR-Humacao作为被录取并完成生物医学科学博士课程的少数族裔本科生的主要国家贡献者的地位。更新建议的主要目标是，参加RISE计划的本科生中，至少有50%将在毕业后进入研究生课程，获得生物医学博士学位。该计划的设计有助于实现以学生为中心的计划目标：在基础科学、数学和英语方面发展扎实的技能，并将这些技能联系起来，以支持自然科学本科专业的高学术成就；通过科学教师的影响力和参与科学前沿的相关研究经验，激励本科生在生物医学领域寻求职业生涯；并为过渡到具有竞争力的研究生课程而获得博士学位做好准备。 与公共卫生相关：波多黎各大学胡马考分校提议在其成功的四年崛起计划所建立的基础上，建立科学加强研究倡议的延续。在这次续签申请中，我们将继续关注化学、生物、数学和物理系中对生物医学研究事业感兴趣的少数族裔理科学生的发展。拟议的计划加强了UPR-Humacao作为被录取并完成生物医学科学博士课程的少数族裔本科生的主要国家贡献者的地位。更新建议的主要目标是，参加RISE计划的本科生中，至少有50%将在毕业后进入研究生课程，获得生物医学博士学位。该计划的设计有助于实现以学生为中心的计划目标：在基础科学、数学和英语方面发展扎实的技能，并将这些技能联系起来，以支持自然科学本科专业的高学术成就；通过科学教师的影响力和参与科学前沿的相关研究经验，激励本科生在生物医学领域寻求职业生涯；并为过渡到具有竞争力的研究生课程而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.
